Pray in the Spirit

Ephesians 6:18 NIV
Google Image 
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

The Holy Spirit given to believers when they accepted Christ as their Saviour, gives direct access to God and we can pray what is on our heart and mind and know that God hears our prayers.

Romans 8:26 NIV
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 with groans that words cannot express.

This verse, Romans 8:26, brings me much joy. I have a hard time trying to express the message that lies inside of me, expressive words do not come easy. When I pray, sometimes I just don't know what to say and my prayers can jump all over the place. But I have the reassurance that the Holy Spirit will take my deepest emotions and the yearning that lies inside and will bring it to the Father with groans that words cannot express.


Ephesians 3:11 NIV
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Through Jesus Christ we have the freedom to come into the presence of God our Father and ask for direction, guidance and lift our brothers and sister who are in need up to God. The Holy Spirit will intercede for us and make our prayers line up with the mind of God.

1 Corinthians 2:15-16 NIV

The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgements, for,
“Who has known the mind of the Lord 
   so as to instruct him?”
 But we have the mind of Christ.


Believers who are submitted to Jesus Christ and follow in His footsteps have the mind of Christ because the Spirit intercedes for us and sets us on the right path.

Pray and ask for the things of God, God will answer. Not in our way but in His perfect, wholly complete way.

Praise God!

    Its amazing how I will all of a sudden start praying in the spirit. It can be while cleaning the house or driving in the car.. I agree, we are to pray at all times and this can be different. It can be in that special prayer place or during the day..Its great to think we are communicating with God, with our spirit, because then its from deep within us.

    Hi girl!
    I love the freedom of praying in the Spirit. I don't have to worry what I say I just think and feel it and the Spirit takes it from there.

    Thanks for stopping by, I always enjoy reading what you have to say.

    Blessings,

    Hi Child of God,
    In reference to Romans 8:26, many times have I set before the Lord not knowing how to pray or what to say. I thank God that the Holy Spirit prays for me. Great post and God bless,
    Ken
