Notice in Exodus 27:20 that it was to be pure oil or, as the Hebrew word means, clean. There were to be no impurities lest they hindered the light from burning. There was to be no mixture, only the pure oil. So today, if we are to shine for the Lord' there must not be any impurities in our lives that would grieve the Holy Spirit We are told, "Grieve not the holy Spirit of God" (Eph. 4:30). Above all else, the Holy Spirit is holy. Any impurity in our lives grieve Him who is so designated. The reason so many lose the consciousness of His peace, and presence is that they allow so-called little things in their lives. With all the jealousy, envy, strife, and hate among the saints, no wonder there is little power in the average church. The Holy Spirit has to work on the believer to convict him of sin, instead of through him to convert sinners.
When David sinned and acknowledged it, he asked God to restore the joy of His salvation (Ps. 51:12). If you lack the joy you once knew as a child of God, perhaps you, too, have grieved the Holy Spirit. Praise God, you can have peace and joy restored when you confess the sin that the Holy Spirit is putting His finger on right now, for "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 Jn. 1:9). If we don't judge ourselves, confess our sins, He will chasten us", spank us, withhold good things from us. "Whom He loves He chastens" Heb 12:6.
"Search me, O God and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way of everlasting." Ps 139:23,24.
