Has anyone ever heard of quenching, The Holy Spirit?

I do, and people are not very observant of this, which is why I kind of left NoFap.

I didn't feel like The Holy Spirit would forgive me since I am currently sinning and barely praying to God, and when I pray, it is always because I am going through something extremely bad, which in my definition makes me STUPID AS F**K!? I define "quench" as QUENCH. Not many people are observant because they always believe that any sin they can make will always be forgiven, and I don't see it as true, because, if you read the New Testament, you can see Jesus stating my point in less than a few sentences, which should be just that!

I am sure you know the Scripture: 1 John 1:9 - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Here is a great article on this topic: https://www.gotquestions.org/forgive-same-sin.html You are right when you say that we have a part to play. We will not be rescued by Christ is we continue to reject him and turn elsewhere to meet our needs. As you know all too well, only Jesus can satisfy, though! Let me know what you think.

There is no sin that cannot be forgiven by God when you repent of it. The only unforgivable sin is denying God and his power, and refusing to accept his forgiveness. Simple as that. Quenching the Spirit is when you deny or silence the Spirit's leading in your life. If you believe in Jesus and that he rose from the dead to forgive your sins, you are forgiven.

I feel like it's more than just that, it's something worse than anyone could imagine

Probably going back to my old ways and just running far from him, I don't know how to simplify it?

Okay, so you see you are going back to your old ways. What are you going to do about it? Do you care about this fight? What does it mean to you to be free? Why did you decide to quit in the first place? If you see your own failures and decide to continue in them, doing nothing to change them, you are stupid. But I don't think you are. Now is the moment when you can turn around. The Spirit is working in you because he wants to see you turn to him for help.

Something a lot of christians dont know, is that God forgave u for all the sins u did and will do, all u have to do is accept his forgivness and get away from that sin. Some people think that since their sins are forgiven they get to sin however they like, but that's not how it works. You are forgiven, that's true but u need to accept it then work on your relationship with Jesus
