Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Well, one thing is for sure, Jesus said to ask Him.
I asked many many times, but I was committing sins I would not admit were sins, so I did not get it. When the sins were cleared up, I got it! So, there's more to it than asking Him. Imagine Anton LaVey just asking Jesus for the Holy Ghost. Think he would get it in the state he lived in just because he asked?

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
There's no option for zero...
When I got the Holy Ghost, I didn't even know what it was. I just felt conviction and went to the altar crying and praying. Since I didn't know what the Holy Ghost was at the time because my family had just started going to the UPC church, I didn't know to ask for it.

 I didn't expect any zeroes.

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Daily.
I want, desire, and ask for the Holy Spirit to be in me and influence me every day.
Next question.

Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
When I was groing up, we used to have "Tarry Services" on Sunday night before church where those who had not been filled with the Holy Spirit would come to the altar and cry out to the Lord in worship and praise-- waiting for the Holy Spirit to be poured out on us.
The seasoned saints would be singing and praying over us, encouraging us to keep calling on Him.
Our tarry services were never dead, and neither were our Sunday nights.

You might want to talk to Blume. He might can help you figure out what your doing wrong as to why you don't have it yet...

I like how people twist words. lol
You well remember that I did not say that unrepentant sin was the case for everyone. IN fact, on another thread earlier today I stipulated that, which seems to the be the thread that inspired you to start this one.

I think Blume would know better than anyone of us when the Holy Spirit came into his heart.
Also, I think when we speak of receiving the Holy Ghost in Pentecostal circles there is an implication of speaking in tongues for the first time... that does not take into account the work of the Spirit at conversion (prior to speaking in tongues) nor the Spirit's critical role in our lives each and every day.
