The Gift of God is yours for the asking

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
Luke 11:13 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/luk.11.13.ESV

The simplicity in this verse astounds me. 
Ask The Heavenly Father for the Holy Spirit, and He will give it to you. 
Amen! 
It's that easy. It does not require a marathon.

Ask the Heavenly Father is literally the definition of prayer..."address a solemn request or expression of thanks to a deity or other object of worship."

Jesus taught us how to pray. 

Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. *For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Matthew 6:9‭-‬13‭ ESV


The template begins first with Acknowledgement, next Adoration, third Asking [which includes asking for forgiveness of sins - an essential step in receiving the most precious gift], then closing with Adoration again.

It's in this 2nd phase of unhindered thankful adoration for who He is and in recognition of his grandeur and his power, one becomes lost to the world yet found in the Holy presence of Jesus. Here Abba, Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach, baptizes you with His Spirit - Ruach HaKo'desh.

Ask and you will receive. Go with God. 


* Some versions omit the last part of V.13

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...

all we need , is in Him

Colossians 2:8-10, 12 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. sin nailed to the cross - image from web Philosophy, traditions, and all the other ways man uses to try and  understand God can only get us so far- if anywhere at all. Sometimes fooling with the newest method and the trendiest biblical insight, or perspectives, takes us in circles. The surest way to learn God, and to get understanding of His Word is through the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 2:11 tells us that only the Spirit of God can know the things of God. And everything that is God, can be found bodily in Christ. In Christ we a...
