WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTS
Let’s now look at what happens when the Holy Spirit convicts?
The Holy Spirit convicts -> people fall involuntarily and backward -> in judgment from God.

“So for them the word of the LORD shall be: "Command on command, command on command, Rule on rule, rule on rule, here a little, there a little!" So that when they walk, they stumble backward, broken, ensnared, and captured.” (Isaiah 28:13)
“When he said to them, "I AM," they turned away and fell to the ground.” (John 18:6)

“He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" (Acts 9:-4)
