Praying In The Spirit - Pastor Chris by Joagbaje(m): 7:35pm On Sep 09, 2012 |
. . .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 (Romans 8:26). There’re times when, in spite of the nudging and prompting you might have in your spirit to pray, you’re just not sure exactly what to pray about or the words with which to articulately express yourself to the Lord. Also, there’re things that concern us which we don’t even know about, but God knows. So, at such times, the Holy Spirit inspires us to pray; He takes charge for us. He ministers and makes intercession for you or through you, according to the will of God. How does He pray through you in such situations? That’s what we read in our theme verse; He does it with deep sighs or groanings that can’t be uttered in articulate speech. When you pray in tongues, you give vent to the Spirit to express Himself; your spirit is activated. Now, who gives you the words to speak in tongues? It’s the Holy Spirit. The Bible says we speak in tongues according to the utterance given to us by the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4). The Holy Spirit puts the language in your spirit; so when you speak in tongues, they’re words of the Spirit! You speak forth words that the Holy Spirit has formed within your spirit; what a way to pray without limitations! Your mind may not remember all the things you need to pray about; you may not even know what to say about them; but the Holy Spirit does, and therefore gives utterance to your spirit. Praying this way is a most effective way to effect changes and take charge of situations. Praying in the Spirit helps you deal with issues and puts things right in your life, in line with God’s perfect will! |
