Fresh From God
Topic: Praying in the Spirit (Discipleship, prayer)
Romans 8:26-27 KJV
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Oh, how much time we, ignorantly, waste, when they pray outside God's will. God will not grant request that is not within the scope of His will for us.
Since the Holy Spirit knows His will, then we constantly need to pray in the Spirit if our prayers must be the meaningful.
Praying in the Spirit is simply praying the will of the Father through Jesus by the help of the Holy Spirit.
We're frail enough not to know the will of the Father, hence we need the Holy Spirit if we must pray correctly.
Praying in the Spirit is not just to speak in an unknown tongue but to pray the will of God, either in a known or unknown tongue.
From the Scripture Believers can do two different things in unknown tongues, they are;
Praying
Prophesying
Misunderstanding this, is the root of most confusion people have about speaking in an unknown tongue.
When you pray in tongues, you speak mysteries directly to God, no man understands it. It's for personal spiritual edification.
1 Corinthians 14:2 KJV
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him ; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
But prophesying in tongues requires that people understand, hence interpretation is needed so the people can be edified.
1 Corinthians 14:27 KJV
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
Praying in the Holy Ghost is our focus for today. There are many controversies about speaking in unknown tongues, but the word of God stands supreme.
Did Jesus speak in an unknown tongue? Yes
John 11:33 KJV
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Did the Apostles and the early Christians speak in an unknown tongue? Yes
1 Corinthians 14:18 KJV
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
1 Corinthians 14:39 KJV
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Praying in the Holy Ghost is an essential phenomenon for every Believer, it's a way of building ourselves in faith.
Jude 1:20 KJV
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
You can pray in the Spirit, either by;
Praying in an unknown tongue through the utterance of the Holy Spirit.
Praying by the divine revelation through the Holy Spirit or
praying with Scriptural understanding given by the Holy Spirit.
So, every Believer can and should pray daily in the Spirit, not only during Church Revival Programs.
Life application
Take your prayers to a new level, make sure you start praying in the Holy Ghost daily. Pray with the understanding of the word of God. Desire the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
