THE STORY OF JESUS: Luke 11:5-13
“How much more will your Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13)
God wants everyone to have the ‘very good’ life we were made for.
God also respects our freedom, He does not force feed us pressure us.
That He wants us to ask Him shows that He wants a relationship with us.
He wants us as free partners to want His love and blessing.
As a friend, as a father, He is also free to respond freely.
To say YES when it is for the best, and NO when it is not.
But one request He will always say YES to is to ask for His Spirit.
This is how God designed us, what He breathed into humans from the start.
This gift alone is enough; any other gift without the Spirit will be a curse.
Think of all the things you normally pray for.
Do the ‘treasures’ we seek satisfy the soul, or only our selfish desires?
Try praying ONLY for the Spirit of God for a while, as your only request.
Seek this treasure first, and see ‘how much more’ is received as well.
May God satisfy my heart with His Spirit, may I be spiritually full!
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, I make this my prayer. Please give me Your Spirit, the Spirit of God and life and fullness. Breathe on me breath of God, fill me with life anew!
