Subject: josiebible, where does it say we can ask |
Bible Note: Luke 11:9-13; John 20:22; Acts 2:4; 1 Cor 12:10, 11, 28, 30, 31 ... Joann, I encourage you to continue to study and search Scripture. When you do, discount what others have said ... or at the very least see if what they said is so (Acts 17:11). I have changed my view on what I believe. Luke 11:9-13 is not about asking the Holy Spirit for a spiritual gift and He will give it to you. This passage is about the giving of the Holy Spirit Himself. Which they receieved either at John 20:22 or Acts 2:4. Moreover, it is the Holy Spirit who determines who gets which gifts (1 Cor 12:11). We can (should) desire the greater gifts (vs 31) ... and I see that tongues is at the bottom of the list (vv 10, 28, 30). Searcher |
