The Holy Spirit grieves when people disobey God. Prophetic people feel this grief acutely, sensing it in themselves and others, whether through gossip or compromise. It's compassionate heartbreak, not judgment, rooted in awareness of spiritual activity beyond the natural world.
The Holy Spirit grieves when we disobey. Prophetic people can sense this grieving, not just with their own mistakes, but they can sense the grieving of the Spirit even around other people. Where you hear someone gossip and it grieves you. You see someone compromising and it grieves you, not in a judgmental way to where you think you're better than them, but in a way where your heart breaks for them and your heart breaks for the Holy Spirit. You're sensitive to the Spirit. You're just very aware of the activity around you. And you just know something more is happening. Something beyond this world is at play. Play, and I can't quite see it with my natural eyes, but I know something is happening in the world beyond. That sensitivity to the spirit, that sensitivity to the spirit realm.
