Philippians 1:9-11

Knock and He will open the spiritual doors of heaven so that what you seek you will find.  Ask for understanding and He will take the teachings of Jesus, the living Word of God, and explain them to you. The simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ saves!

The more time we spend in the Word the more the Holy Spirit can cultivate, prune and produce a harvest of His fruit in us to share with others to the glory of God.
