I feel that there are those who struggle with the fear that they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit.
I have had the enemy come against me many times with tormenting spirits over this fear and sin.
The feeling of absolute hopelessness in this fear is unbearable.
I’ve wept before because of this fear begging and pleading with God not to leave me. I want to give all who have this fear of if you have committed the unpardonable sin some peace is this matter.
If you are afraid that you have or have fear about it, you haven’t.
For those who do, the Spirit departs from them. Therefore they have no love for God, no desire for repentance, and no conviction of sin.
The Holy Spirit is such an amazing friend, a Holy and righteous part of the Godhead.
He gives peace, He gives comfort, He convicts of sin, and draws you back to God.
I would get to the place where I was so afraid of this act that I would sin to feel conviction. This is messed up, this stems from the lies of the enemy.
Those who do not know, it is attributing the works of the Holy Spirit with the demonic.
For example when the Pharisees said that “Jesus casts out demons by the prince of demons”. This would be attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to the devil.
Do not mistake grieving the Spirit for blasphemy of the Spirit.
Any sin grieves the Spirit, any sin quenches the Spirit, any sin resists the Spirit. But there is only one sin that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Which is attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to that of a demon.
So I want to be clear. “If you are worried that you have committed this unforgivable sin, you have not. “- A. W. Tozer
