I watched the first season of Roswell which is about teens with alien powers that know this is not their home and their home is somewhere beyond the heavens. Are not Jesus followers supposed to be resident aliens where this earthly place is not our home but our home is in heaven?
In the last week, I've had three people tell me they pray and ask for the Holy Spirit every day which comes from Jesus' teaching about the Good Father (Luke 11:11-13). God the Father gives the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking Him. I started praying this prayer today as another discipleship experiment. Where this leads, only God knows.
So I have been studying Luke chapter eleven which starts with the Lord's prayer. Then Jesus gives several teachings on prayer going from the parables about prayer like the persistent friend and the good father and then we read about Christ healing a demonized person and Christ's power is stronger than Satan's power.
Can it be that as we pray and ask for the Holy Spirit that God is empowering, leading, and giving us spiritual power for the day?
Is there "more" to the Christian life or even to our prayer life?
