Acts 7:51-53
51 "You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit!
52 Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him--
53 you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it."

God has given us His commandments for us to obey. When we don't obey, he sends people to guide us in His direction. He sent prophets. But most of the time we see people who brings God's directions were mocked, insulted and even killed.

Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith (Hebrews 13:7). Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you (Hebrews 13:17).

We resist the Holy Spirit if we don't allow God's word to enter in.

Application

Take time to spend time with some leader and ask him/her how you can grow more in Christ. Just listen to him without any resistance.
