The Holy Spirit in Relation to Missionary Work
Griffith John. Luke 11:9-10 And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.… Let us try to realize our dependence upon the Holy Spirit for every spiritual power essential to the accomplishment of our missionary work. Consider our dependence upon the Holy Ghost. I. As THE SOURCE OF ALL SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION. II. AS THE IMMEDIATE SOURCE OF ALL HOLINESS. III. AS THE SOURCE OF OUR SPIRITUAL UNITY. IV. AS THE SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL JOY. And now there are three questions which I wish to put. 1. Are we filled with the Holy Ghost? 2. Is a new Pentecost possible to us? 3. How is the fulness of the Spirit to be obtained? (Griffith John.) Parallel Verses KJV: And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. WEB: "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
