Do we desire a strong relationship with Him, or one in name only? If we have a marital relationship that we do not value, we will inevitably commit adultery. It&#8217;s the same with the Holy Spirit. If we don&#8217;t value a relationship with Him, we will commit spiritual adultery, also known as backsliding. The Holy Spirit will let us go, if we don&#8217;t value Him &#8211; He won&#8217;t force us to stay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Scriptures:<\/strong>\u00a0John 10:10; 16:5-13; 15:26<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Holy Spirit brings us true freedom.
