1 | do u ask for the holy ghost? | Rom 8:26 | Disciple1968 | 121695 | ||
You receive the Holy Spirit when you ask God for Him. (I used "Him" because the Holy Spirit is a person, not an "it"). Luke 11:13 says "If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" |

Disciple1968, We're actually indwelt by the Holy Spirit according to 1 Cor. 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,". Notice the "have received"- a past completed action! Also, Ephesians 1:13 says "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," It is important to note that believers today are indwelt with the Holy Spirit. It does not come and go. Now, we can "grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption" (Eph. 4:30). However, believers are commanded to "be filled with the Spirit" on a continual basis per Eph. 5:18. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
