1 Thes 1. 6. For this the Apostle made mention of these Believers in his prayers That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of Glory would give them the Spirit of wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge and for the acknowledgment of him The eyes of their understanding being enlightned that they may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the Saints c. Eph. 1. 16-19 And good encouragement have we to pray that we may be filled with this blessed Spirit because our Lord Jesus the last Adam who by the Grace of God tasted death for every man and is raised again for their justification is made a quickening Spirit 1 Cor. 15. 45. And hath the Spirit given immeasurably to him Joh. 3. 34 35. And also prays the Father to give the Holy Spirit to them that ask it in his name while they pray on earth he prayes in Heaven for them And hath also promised that abiding in him and his words abiding in them they may ask what they will and it shall be done unto them He will do it for them Joh. 14. 13-16 17. and chap. 15. 7. Oh then Restrain we not our prayers but as he hath encouraged and given us liberty let him see our countenance and hear our voice And let us come boldly to the throne of Grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need Cant. 2. 14. Heb. 4. 14-16 6. And lastly That we may be more and more abundantly filled with the Spirit walk we in and after it mind we the things of the Spirit the things of Christ which the Spirit takes and shews unto us And be we led by the Spirit and yield up to his operations so shall we not fulful the lusts of the flesh Gal. 5. 16. But be helped continually to mortify them and put them to death Rom. 8. 13. Col. 3. 5. And whatever this Holy Spirit is working in us to will and do let us do all things without murmuring and disputing It will produce nothing hurtful in us For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth Eph. 5. 8 9. Oh! Quench not this Spirit but let it inflame your hearts with love to Christ and God in him and to Men and Brethren according to his Instructions and operations and fill you with joy and peace in believing And effect in you Long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness temperance Gal. 5. 16-22 And smother not this blessed Spirit but work out that Salvation he is working in you with fear and trembling make confession and hold forth the profession of the faith unto salvation without wavering And fear not the reproach of men nor be afraid of their fear Follow the leading of this Spirit without doubting where-ever or unto whatsoever it leads you Act. 11. 12. Rom. 8. 14. Have in usefulness what God hath given to you For to him that hath shall be given and he shall have more abundantly But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath Matth. 13. 12. And sow to this blessed Spirit in labours of love according to your capacity and ability make not your bellies your gods For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption everlasting corruption But he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not As we have therefore opportunity let us do good to all men especially to the houshold of faith Gal. 6. 6-10 If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul Then shall thy light rise in obscurity and thy darkness shall be as the noon-day And the Lord shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy Soul in droughts and make fat thy bones And thou shalt be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not Isa 58. 7-11 Consider what is said and the Lord give us understanding in all things And the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God and the Communion of the Holy Ghost be with us all Amen The END
