PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

Prayer is a powerful tool God has released to His church; however, God in His mighty wisdom added an incentive, He gave us the Holy Ghost, He endued us with the ability to speak in other tongues, speaking mysteries unto Him. 1 Corinthians 14:2 (ESV) “For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.”

Jude 1:20 “But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.” It’s important we pray daily in the Holy Ghost; this gift has the potency to stir up living waters in our bellies. According to John Gill’s commentary, prayer, “when performed aright, is performed ‘in the Spirit’; with the heart, soul, and spirit engaged in it. It is put up with a true heart, and a right spirit, and without hypocrisy; in a spiritual way, and with fervency, and under the influence, and by the assistance of the Spirit of God.” Romans 8:26 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”

Praying in the Spirit builds up your inner man, it positively affects your growth as a believer. It has the ability to change your life forever, all you need is engage and watch God change your life via this medium. you’re God’s child and, as such, you’re a co-heir with Christ. You can pray with the power of a child of God to a perfect Father

Prayer:

Father thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit, I engage the forces of heaven to work on my behalf in Jesus name.
