When we talk about the Holy Spirit, we often use this verse from Zechariah 10.
"Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field."
I believe this should be our daily prayer... Lord please send us RAIN. The rain of Your Holy Spirit. Please baptize us afresh...
Here's some thoughts I often read as I claim this promise of rain!
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:13
“The descent of the Holy Spirit upon the church is looked forward to as in the future; but it is the privilege of the church to have it now. Seek for it, pray for it, believe for it. We must have it, and Heaven is waiting to bestow it.” The Review and Herald, March 19, 1895.
“If ye ABIDE in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it SHALL be done unto you!” John 15:7
“A chain of earnest, praying believers should encircle the world…to pray for the Holy Spirit.” Review and Herald, January 3, 1907
“The Latter Rain—Let Christians ask in faith for the promised blessing, and it will come. The outpouring of the Spirit in the days of the apostles was the former rain, and glorious was the result. But the latter rain will be more abundant.” The Signs of the Times, February 17, 1914.

“Ye have not because ye ask not…Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name. Ask and ye SHALL receive, that your joy may be full.” James 4:2, John 16:24
“Plead for the Holy Spirit. God stands back of every promise He has made. With your Bible in your hands say, I have done as Thou hast said. I present Thy promise, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Christ Object Lessons, p. 147

Let's keep praying for MORE of the Holy Spirit.
