11:13. "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!"

8:15. "who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpentsand scorpionsand thirsty landwhere there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock;
The situations of the wilderness are as follows:
The wilderness is controlled by Satan the trinity so we live in the curse atmosphere that makes us labor, become heavy laden, toil, in bitterness, and perish.
The prayer is moving the wilderness atmosphere to the one of heaven.
The sign is that God gives us a fish, not a serpent.
Luke 11: 11, 13
11:11. "If a son asks for breadfrom any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpentinstead of a fish?

4:12. "Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"
4:13. Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
4:14. "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
4:15. The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

- Holy Spirit purifiesus.
Romans 15:16
15:16. that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit purifies us from the characteristics of the Gentiles which are like the dog (wickedness) and swine (uncleanness), so we produce fragrance before God. - Holy Spirit gives the gifts of Holy Spirit(the egg).
The gift of Holy Spirit is the miraculous ability from Holy Spirit, so we can minister to God according to the ministry that He gives to us.
The gift and the ministry are the same as the tunic of many colors.
Holy Spirit is able to make our life beautiful and give beautiful and successful future.

The sign is that we do not grumble, but give thanks, testify (becoming a light), and worship God.
As a result, the spiritual miracle happens, namely the renewal of life. It starts from honesty and obedience. And the physical one happens too. God is able to make something that does not exist yet. The impossible thing becomes possible.
Our steps are the miracle ones. It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are changed to become as perfect as He is to meet Him on the glorious clouds.
God blesses us.
