This document discusses how people can hinder the Holy One (God) in three ways: through a lack of understanding, unwillingness to act, and wrong attitudes. It provides several biblical examples of when people did not heed God's words or follow His commands due to these hindrances. The conclusion warns that unless these issues are addressed, there will be conflict and separation from God. The overall message is that understanding God, acting on His teachings, and having right attitudes are necessary to avoid hampering the work and will of the Holy One.

1. Hindering the Holy One
Jer 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith
the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you
an expected end.
Ps 78:41
41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited
the Holy One of Israel.
Mark 6:4-5
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without
honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin,
and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he
laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
Hindering the Holy One
I. In Understanding
Gen 42:22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I
not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye

2. would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is
required.
Ps 119:99-100 99 I have more understanding than all
my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep
thy precepts.
Deut 1:43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear,
but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and
went presumptuously up into the hill.
Jer 29:19 Because they have not hearkened to my words,
saith the LORD,
which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets,
rising up early and sending them;
but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know
the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and
he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former
rain unto the earth.
II. In Action

3. Matt 12:6-7 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one
greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have
mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned
the guiltless.
Matt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the
prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how
often would I have gathered thy children together, even as
a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye
would not!
III. In Attitude
Deut 1:26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but
rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your
God:
Deut 8:20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth
before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not
be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Isa 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of
Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness

4. and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would
not.
Conclusion
2Cor 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come,
I shall not find you such as I would,
and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not:
lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings,
whisperings, swellings, tumults:
Isa 59:1-4
1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it
cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and
your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that
he will not hear. Understanding
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers
with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath
muttered perverseness. Action

5. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth:
they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief,
and bring forth iniquity. Attitude
