The Holy Spirit Convicts

Celeste Ruppelt said this:
"Sometimes we don't even have to speak those judgments. The spirit within those who we are with recognizes the presence of Christ in us, and that is enough to start the negativism on their part."

When you experience irritation or rage from others and can't figure out the reason, those who rage are probably encountering the Holy Spirit in us.

Sometimes they accuse us of what the Holy Spirit is convicting them in order to avoid the guilt they sense. They believe we are doing something to cause their guilt but it is not us, its the Holy Spirit.

Next time you encounter someone who acts uncomfortable around us and we have not said a word, then very likely they are sensing the Holy Spirit in us.

Acts 7:51
51 “You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did."

John 16:8
"8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:"

We are hated by many people not because we have done something wrong, but because the Holy Spirit is convicting hearts through us.
