The Holy Spirit A B Simpson Chapter 4 – The Parable of the Pounds or Power for Service Promise This blessed pound is given to every one of His servants. The Holy Ghost is purchased for all who belong to Christ and will yield their lives in surrender and obedience to the divine Spirit. The Apostle has given us the simple condition when He says, “The Holy Ghost whom God hath given to them that obey Him.” The promise of Pentecost was not restricted to a few special cases, but the Apostle distinctly states, “The promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
