You don't tamper with the Holy Spirit; you submit to Him. Your ability to tamper does not prove your power, it provides evidence of your interfering. Nevertheless, my calling is not to stop your behavior; but rather, to simply warn of its' consequences. Even the snake was able to interfere. The fact that God is silent while it's being carried out speaks volumes to both old and new testament prophecies: for all these things must come to pass.
Love does not demand it's own way; but, yields to Christ's instructions.
James 4:17 (AMP)
So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.

New Testament Prophecies
People often confuse "Last Days" with "End Times." They are not the same. While we are living in the last days, many things, as detailed in the book of Revelations, must take place prior to the end times. Howbeit, because of seducing spirits, brazen "Last Days" behaviors are occurring today, even in my own hometown. The saddest of which is blatant disrespect for the power of the Holy Spirit. People are literally treating Him as something to be controlled to satisfy their own desires: that is idolatry. The Holy Spirit is not a tool to be used, He is an indwelling who transforms.
1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.
Therefore,
Acts 2:17 (NLT)
‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
Acts 2:18 (NLT)
In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike - and they will prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:39 (NLT)
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking in tongues.
2 Timothy 4 (NLT)
¹I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when He comes to set up His Kingdom: ²Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. ³For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. ⁴They will reject the truth and chase after myths. ⁵But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.
