Introduction

When we bow down and tell Allah and Hazrat Isa al Masih (PBUH) that we dedicate ourselves to following Hazrat Isa al Masih, the Father and Hazrat Isa al Masih will respond immediately and pour out upon us the Holy Spirit. When Allah and Hazrat al Masih do this, we may feel different, we may immediately sense a change in our mind and emotions; but we may not feel any different. Our feelings do not matter. What matters is our confidence in God and in his promises. Here are some verses to help you understand what God is like when we ask him for his Spirit.

Biblical References

Luke 11:1-13

In these verses Hazrat Isa al Masih (PBUH) taught his disciples what to pray for, and what to expect from Allah when they pray. Notice, they are to expect that Allah will hear them, and they are to expect that Allah will generously give the Holy Spirit to those who ask.
