To you I will cause my spirit to bubble forth.—Prov. 1:23.
Can we expect God to impart to us his active force without any effort on our part? No. Besides praying for it, we must diligently feed on God’s inspired Word. (Prov. 2:1-6) In addition, God’s spirit rests upon the Christian congregation. Our regular meeting attendance manifests our desire to “hear what the spirit says to the congregations.” (Rev. 3:6) Moreover, we must humbly respond to what we learn. Indeed, God gives his holy spirit “to those obeying him as ruler.” (Acts 5:32) So pour your heart into every assignment. Always look to Jehovah for success. (Mark 11:23, 24) As you do, be assured that “everyone seeking finds.” (Matt. 7:8) Spirit-anointed ones will be blessed with “the crown of life” in the heavens. (Jas. 1:12) Christ’s “other sheep” will delight to hear Him say: “Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you.”—John 10:16; Matt. 25:34. w10 9/15 1:16, 18
