Grieving Holy Spirit : Ephesians 4:30

I
I would, help me LORD Jesus, advise 3 Scriptures for learning more about the Holy Spirit's role on earth and in CHURCH, as Jesus is at the right hand of God

II
John 14 is a part of the Gospels that explains what Jesus intended for the Holy Spirit among His followers. Romans 8 (26-end) explains how the Holy Spirit even "teaches" us the truth about prayer, including for the Creation that's groaning. I read Dr. Jenn Proxenos's poem today about the environmental damage humans are doing to our planet-village! Sometimes, we are at a loss how to pray. Third Scripture: Read Ephesians 4, and see why the New Testament  can be summed up in: DONT' GRIEVE and DONT LEAVE -do not grieve the Holy Spirit AND do NOT abandon faith in Jesus's sacrifice for our sins/freedoms!
III
Next, I want to expose the lie of so-called pastors who "cause" church goers to fall down (allegedly slain in the spirit) during worship of the Holy Spirit, or God(?). Read ahead Romans Chapter 8, verse 11.

Awakening to Divine Presence is not a consuming process, as with Nirvana, the absorption by a greater, impersonal conscious bliss -- to the contrary, true enlightenment is consciously becoming a greater personal/universal conscious bliss. When the bible speaks of Tongues, it does not mean delirium or babbling -- it means all understood one another, regardless of difference in ethnic language (Mind to mind, Spirit to Spirit, direct communication) (Clarity).

The Holy Spirit is God, third person of the Holy Trinity. To Him be praise.

Amen Victor. ThanX fir your visit & comment. My issue with more charismatic preachers is they impkyvthey can control & release as a gift to him or her ... The Holy Spirit. Folk who fall or are thus " slain" sometimes leave church, faith, or growth as Disciples. How
