Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of November
Verses:
Luke 11:13 “If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Excerpts:
The Lord’s word in 11:11-13 indicates that our intention in prayer should be to seek the life supply—to seek loaves, fish, and eggs. Loaves represent the riches of the land; fish, the riches of the sea; and eggs, the riches of something both in the air and on the earth. Therefore, loaves, fish, and eggs represent the riches of the land, the water, and the air; that is, these represent different kinds of riches. In verse 13 we see that the Holy Spirit is the totality of these riches. The Holy Spirit is the life supply. When we pray ourselves into God, we should remain in God to receive the Holy Spirit as our life supply.
The governing principle of our prayer should be that prayer always brings us into God. This does not mean that you should not ask the Lord to heal you if you are sick. The point is that when you pray for healing, you should observe the governing principle of prayer and pray yourself into God. If your way of praying distracts you from the Lord and does not bring you into Him, you should change your way of praying.
We know from our experience with the Lord that often we have prayed properly and have prayed ourselves into God. As we remain in Him, we receive His riches, the riches that are embodied in His Spirit. When we receive the Holy Spirit as our life supply signified by the loaves, the fish, and the egg, we can feed ourselves, and we can also feed all those under our care. (Life-study of Luke, msg. 27)
