Ezekiel 36:27 (ESV),
“27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.”

John 14:16-17(ESV),
“16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”

[1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (ESV)] “19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16 tells us to “pray without ceasing.”

1 Thessalonians 5:20–21 (ESV),
“20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good.”
verse 22, “Abstain from every form of evil.”

Galatians 5:16 tells us if we “walk by the Spirit you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”

“to expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.” ~ A.W. TOZER ~
