Thursday, February 18

Keep on asking, and it will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to you.—Luke 11:9.

 

To receive the help of holy spirit, we must pray for it with persistence. (Luke 11:13) Jesus’ illustration at Luke 11:5-9 helps us to see why Jehovah will give us holy spirit. The man in the illustration wanted to be a good host. He felt compelled to serve food to his late-night visitor but had nothing to offer him. Jesus said that the neighbor responded because of the man’s bold persistence in asking for bread. What was Jesus’ point? If an imperfect human is willing to help a persistent neighbor, how much more so will our kind heavenly Father help those who persistently ask him for holy spirit! Therefore, we can pray with confidence that Jehovah will respond to our urgent request for holy spirit. (Ps. 10:17;66:19) We can be sure that in spite of Satan’s relentless efforts to defeat us, we will be victorious. w19.11 13 ¶17-19

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

Jehovah's holy spirit can be subtle or can  be very obvious, depending on the circumstances but mostly depending on us looking for it in our lives and actually seeing. When you look back on your life's hardships and look really hard and remember the many times you've prayed for help, even if you didn't know what to pray for , you will eventually see Jehovah's spirit at work in the most amazing ways. We may still have to work hard and endure sufferings but things around us that we may not have thought have been set in motion to help via Jehovah's Holy spirit. 

The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah
