How willing is God to give to believers the Holy Spirit?

Answer 1

Luke 11:13-Therefore, 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!

James 1:5-So, if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep on asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching; and it will be given him

However it takes more than just believing:
Romans 10:10- For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation.
John 3:16-For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
Colossians 1:9-10-That is also why we, from the day we heard [of it], have not ceased praying for YOU and asking that YOU may be filled with the accurate knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual comprehension, 10 in order to walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing [him] as YOU go on bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the accurate knowledge of God.

We must also act on our belief.

Answer 2

He is very willing. He wants all of us to accept Jesus as our Savior by the drawing power of the holy spirit. God will let you know when he feels you are looking for him. God bless and I hope you find a good Church to worship him and have fellowship.

Answer 3

Luke 11:9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

Answer 4

Not only willing, but, will go to extremes at times :

I grew up as a poor country boy, shy, insecure. Worked hard in the yard, not having much time to "play" with neighbors ( had only 2 and they lived quite a distance away ).
There was a small Baptist church not far from home that I was made to go on Sundays. I usually would sneak out ( especially at night ) while the service was going on. About 10 the Lord touched my heart in service, and I went up , shook the preachers hand, confessed that Jesus was Lord, and then left on my own to figure things out. No-one took me under their wing for guidance, gave me a Bible to read, or tried to direct me.

Soooo, I ended up in the wilderness.

Years went by and I began getting into alcohol and drugs, frequenting the bars more than anywhere else. I ended up being Nick the Greeks right hand man in Bartow Fla. I was using a 24 hr. taxi service as a front to do Nicks dirty work. One Sunday morning early, I was easing through town and glanced over to my left at a church, and the car filled with the Glory of God. I didn't know what was happening, so blinded with tears, I stepped on the gas and got away from there , the Glory leaving as I speed away. Years later, I was in a bar, broke, desolate, un-happy, and looked around me saying within " there MUST be something better than this".
Well, shortly after that God intervened dramatically in my life.

The next event in my life was taking up the bible and reading the book of Daniel ( see DREAMS and VISIONS blog ). After that, I felt the draw of God, and began dropping off the things I felt impressed to like quitting smoking, quit cussing, quit drinking. ANYTHING I was being impressed to do, I was doing. I remember going to a small church gathering and was supposed to play my guitar and sing. Well, when it came time to sing, I opened my mouth and couldn't sing. All I could do was cry. I would re-group and try again, and as soon as I opened my mouth again, the same thing. Everyone in the congregation was looking at me like I was stupid EXCEPT for a woman in the first row. She had a huge smile on her face ! And kept saying GLORY !!! That only made it worse for me ( I thought worse ).
Sooo, time progressed, and I was OBEYING from the heart every leading God was giving.
I went to a small gathering where a street preacher was preaching. I had a hunger to hear , so I went and just couldn't stay because the preacher was so loud that it hurt my ears. Two weeks later I saw the same preacher, so I went to hear him again. I was determined to sit through the whole session! I was on the front row, and listening to him, and there was a stirring inside me, and thought I was about to break down crying. I put my head down, trying to gain control, (which took a moment), and as I was able to trust myself, I slowly began lifting my head. In front of me was and angel of the Lord, or the Lord, with his hands held out to me palms up. My looking didn't go any further than his shoulders and my head was down again, thinking I had really messed up, and should have went with what was happening inside me. I vowed that if it happened again, I would not try to restrain it because I KNEW it was from the Lord.
Well, two weeks later I saw that same preacher ! I went straight to the meeting, and thinking what I had vowed, got a seat waaaay back in the last row. The place began to be packed ! The people was coming in, and coming in! I put my bible in my spot to hold it for me, and begin helping get people seated. The place was packed ! Then I thought, Oh No, I probably have lost my seat, but, it was still there. I was so afraid of being embarrassed ! This time the preacher brought with him a piano player I ended up calling her the little Holy Ghost woman, and when she started playing and everyone began singing, well, there comes that feeling again........At first I resisted, but just for a second because I remember my vow, and as SOON as I relinquished MY will, Oh Lord !!!!! I was on my tiptoes hand in the air, some kind of different language was coming from my mouth, as the flowing of the River of Life was bathing me, Filling me. Suddenly I was prostrate, on knees, on face travailing in tongues, then the Spirit would lift me back to my toes, hands in the air, tongues rolling. Back and forth , back and forth for about 20 minutes ! Everyone in the meeting was caught up in the same song and sang over and over ! After about 20 minutes of this, I was leaning up against a wall, DRUNK ! I MEAN drunk !!! I thought , well, I had better help sing, so picked up the song book and started singing, I was reading in English, but another language was coming forth from my mouth. I had no idea I had just received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost !
So, a start to a new and adventurous life enfolded....

I saw everything from a new perspective. The Word had new meaning. LOVE flowed from my heart. Ambition in God intensified. I was anointed 24/7 for 7 years to do a job for the Lord, and it was REALLY exciting ! I experienced the POWER of prayer ( even entering into another realm bringing down princes and principalities ). I was visited by evil spirits, learning that God had POWER over them. Miracles, wonders and signs followed my every move. The Word was so powerful in my life, there were times I glowed like a neon light. I felt there was absolutely NOTHING impossible. Knowledge of Gods Word increased daily. I cast out devils. Healed the sick. Sent forth letters and the recipients got delivered or healed. Had a BOLDNESS to face murderers that would not think twice about killing me, but the anointing was so strong they would be on their knees crying like a baby with just a few words spoken in faith.

Yes, God is more than just WILLING !!! Halleluiah !
