If you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the Father in heaven give holy spirit to those asking him!—Luke 11:13.
The
most direct way to receive God’s holy spirit is to ask for it.
Indeed, we should constantly pray for holy spirit. If certain aspects
of the ministry—doing street witnessing, preaching informally, or
working business territory—intimidate us, we can pray to Jehovah
for his spirit and ask him to help us muster up the needed boldness.
(1 Thess. 5:17) That is what a Christian woman named Rosa did.
When a fellow worker, disturbed by a report on mistreated children,
cried out, “What is this world coming to?” Rosa could not pass up
such an opportunity to give a witness. What did she do to get the
courage to speak up? “I prayed to Jehovah and asked for his spirit
to help me,” says Rosa. She was able to give a fine witness and
make a follow-up arrangement. w10
