Oswald Chambers, the author of the best-seller, "My Utmost For His Highest," testifies in his autobiography that it was Luke 11:9-13 that led him into experiencing the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Luke 11 9. "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10. "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. 11. "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake ievil, know how to give good gifts to your children, "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Then how much will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.
First, it tells us to ask, seek and knock.
9. "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.;"And then it tells what we will receive if we do it.
"and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10. "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.
Then it cites a hman example.
"Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? 12. "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
Since it refers to our Heavenly Father, is it not being addressed to Spirit-filled believers?
"Then how much will your Heavenly Father"
What then are we, as Spirit-filled believers, to be asking, seeking, and knocking to receive?
that your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him
