       So, once we have been given the conviction from the Spirit—at that point, we can choose to follow the Spirit, or we can choose to continue going down the wrong path. This can be just in a basic life situation, like when an argument is brewing between you and someone else. The Holy Spirit may say, “Hold it. You need to correct what you’re saying,” and at that point we need to correct it or we are heading for a ‘real’ problem. It’s better to swallow our pride and snuff out developing problems rather than continuing along and then having a ‘real’ problem. I think most of us recognize from experience that it is far better to deal with a brewing problem right away rather than to wait for it to get far worse. The issue for us is that it is very hard to do at the moment in time at which the problem is occurring. Like, if we are in an argument, we want to keep arguing to win, even when we know, deep down, we should stop. So, pride gets in our way, causes us to sin, and then we are left with the Spirit’s conviction and a relationship that needs mended.
