AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:26 ¶ In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. |
Bible Question: Do u only get the Holy Ghost when u ask for it or does God give it to u if he feels u need it?? |
Bible Answer: kimmy: There is really is a mistranslation when we say Holy Ghost. Ther correct translation is Holy Spirit. The only time the the word Ghost is used is when Jesus entered the room where Thomas and the rest were hiding, after the resurrection and Jesus suddenly appeared, the word Ghost is used there, as if to say eek a Ghost. To answer your question, you receive the Holy Spirit from the second Jesus becomes your Lord. The Holy Spirit indwells every true believer. The gifts He gives are just exactly that, gifts. You can't ask for a gift because then it is not a gift! There are those who would disagree with me and say speaking in tongues is proof you have the Holy Spirit. However, taken in context speaking in tongues, is a gift and not all of us have that. I personally believe it is a gift given far less than some think. I have never ever heard someone say they had the gift of helps, or giving. Why not? I think it has to do with forcing people to speak in odd words they do not understand to prove their salvation. agape. justme |
