Day 147: Prayer for the saints to see and to seek the filling of the Spirit in its two vital aspects—the essential aspect and the economical aspect

Pray that the saints would see that the work of the all-inclusive Spirit we have received is of two aspects—the essential aspect for life and the economical aspect for power—and would seek to experience the Spirit as both the Spirit of life to live Christ and the Spirit of power to carry out Christ’s commission (John 7:38-39; 14:17; 20:22; Acts 1:8 and note 8²; 4:31; 2:4²; Hymns, #278, ss. 1-4, 7).

约七38-39—信入我的人，就如经上所说，从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。耶稣这话是指着信入祂的人将要受的那灵说的；那时还没有那灵，因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。

约十四17—就是实际的灵，乃世人不能接受的，因为不见祂，也不认识祂；你们却认识祂，因祂与你们同住，且要在你们里面。

约二十22 - 说了这话，就向他们吹入一口气，说，你们受圣灵。

徒一8 - 但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地、撒玛利亚，直到地极，作我的见证人。

Acts 4:31—And when they had so besought, the place in which they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.
