Until the Spirit ComesEgzanp

The Holy Spirit is Promised

“The true spirit of prayer is no other than God’s own Spirit dwelling in the hearts of the saints. And as this spirit comes from God, so doth it naturally tend to God in holy breathings and pantings. It naturally leads to God, to converse with him by prayer.” - Jonathan Edwards 

The Holy Spirit always comes when we ask Him.  The request is not a request we have to wonder whether it will be answered.  It is a promised certainty.  The waiting is not a denial of the Father’s provision or a teasing to induce our perfection.  It is an opportunity to develop our trusting expectation, like a child anticipating Christmas.

Don’t dwell on your faults but on the Father’s delight to give you the Spirit.
