The first test: sensitivity to grieving the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person. A very, very sensitive person at that. He gets His feelings hurt easily. You may say, “That’s not a very secure person.” Well, all I can say is that the Holy Spirit is very secure indeed but at the same time He can be grieved—hurt. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (Eph. 4:30).
