God the ultimate giver

[Mister]

What a wonderful and hopeful story found in Luke 11:5-13. Here Jesus explains how God, gives good gifts, exceedingly greater than anything given in this world. He does, in fact, have thoughts for us to prosper. How better to prosper than to have that gift of the Holy Spirit! Jesus explains that you can ask for this gift from God in an unashamed manner and He will give it! One way the Holy Spirit changes our response to life's trials is by what is written in Romans 5: 3-5. We rejoice in our sufferings...because God's love has been poured into our hearts through this very gift which has been given to us!

Does this manner of asking assume a repentant heart? I ask because Peter said to repent, and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Furthermore, as I sat down to eat lunch today I read this one the restaurant wall "genuine love is so contrary to human nature that its presence bears witness to a extraordinary power"...and I said to myself "yes, and his name is the LORD!

Praise the Lord Jesus!

I hope you are having a Spirit filled Wednesday .

hi there Mister, You post made me think of this verse.

Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

 

[Brother Paul]

I have found you cannot out give God....

 

[Mister]

I have found you cannot out give God....

Thank you for stating this. It's quite true. I need to remember that as I am giving or doing things for others. In doing so it will keep my attitude aright. Thank you Jesus.
