RECEIVING THE PROMISED OF THE FATHER:


1. YOU HAVE TO BE _______________ – v. 37

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts.


2. YOU HAVE TO _______________ AND _______________ – v. 37b

…let him come and drink


3. YOU HAVE TO _______________ – v.38

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.


4. JESUS MUST BE _______________ IN ORDER FOR US TO _______________ THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – v.39

CONCLUSION:

Luke 11:9-13

"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. "If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? "Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
