EPH 4-14...I think verses 29 is trying to show us how the positive power of the Holy Spirit can influence the average human that we might come in contact with in the course of a day, my dad gave me an example years ago, say, you are driving along and someone is trying to merge into your lane, by holing back and flagging that person to go ahead of you in most cases that person will go and show the same courtesy to someone else further up the road. Kindness has a way of replicating itself in most cases, but again evil does too. From any form of corrupt communications. But this scripture is trying to show us I believe is how by using good clean communications it works sort of in a way like using courtesy on the road, it opens a part of the mind that now is able to receive or the spirit to minister grace to the listener, and I believe it is when the person is in this state of being God is able to communicate with them in one form or another for what ever that person 's needs might be. Also I think we need to be conscience or aware when we are being moved by the Holy Spirit not to quench God 's Spirit by holding back or giving in whatever the case might be, and definitely not to show apathy or lack of concern for the Holy Spirit for this is GRIEVING the Holy Spirit. That 's one mans point of view. PRAISE OUR HOLY CREATOR AND HIS HOLY SON. AMEN!!
