"God states the facts, he doesn't ask permission. He says, factually, Look I'm standing here and knocking. If you hear me and open the door to me, I will commune with you. If I said to you, If you post to me, I will post to you as well. I'm not asking permission to post to you. I'm stating what will happen in the order of events. Again, God doesn't ask permission. He states what will occur."
Do you think your comment above squares with this?:
"The Holy Spirit comes when we are receptive. He does not compel. He approaches so meekly that we may not even notice. If we would know the Holy Spirit we need to examine ourselves in the light of the Gospel teaching, to detect any other presence which may prevent the Holy Spirit from entering into our souls. We must not wait for God to force Himself on us without our consent. God respects and does not constrain man. It is amazing how God humbles Himself before us. He loves us with a tender love, not haughtily, not with condescension. And when we open our hearts to Him we are overwhelmed by the conviction that He is indeed our Father. The soul then worships in love."
No I don't.
Incidentally, I don't think that the quote is Scriptural either.
Paul was not receptive to the Holy Spirit when He came. Paul got receptive really quickly though!
If the Holy Spirit waited on our receptivity then none of us would ever be saved. "There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God."
We only become receptive after the Holy Spirit has made us alive to His truth. We do not seek God, He comes after us. He does not force as if it were against our will. Rather, He changes our will and desire so that we come because we want to come. His call is effectual.
