Luke 18:7-8 TPT “Don’t you know that God, the true judge, will grant justice to all his chosen ones who cry out to him night and day? He will pour out his Spirit upon them. He will not delay to answer you and give you what you ask for.
God will give swift justice to those who don’t give up. So be ever praying, ever expecting, in the same way as the widow. Even so, when the Son of Man comes back, will he find this kind of undying faith on earth?”
Remember, the prerequisite is that until the Spirit is poured upon you, you must pray continuously day and night, and you cannot give up. This means you cannot be inconsistent. When you are inconsistent, you are doing mini “give-ups.” I’m not saying you need to be 100% perfect, but I know many of my people only pray when they come to church or only when they are in a desperate situation do they do not pray more than on the weekends.
Then to keep the Spirit upon you and being filled, you must still cry out daily. You can either be filled/overflowing with the Spirit or short in the spirit.
