solite3:
praying with the Spirit means praying as the spirit leads
but then we also pray with the understanding,
meaning praying with the interest of those around you in terms of their understanding.

How do you mean:
"we also pray with the understanding,
meaning praying with the interest of those around you in terms of their understanding"?
Particularly the latter ... meaning praying with the interest of those around you in terms of their understanding part

solite3:
personally I can pray for hours non stop but you may not understand my prayers.
prayers are not necessarily uttered words or understandable words
but what matters is that the inner man is connected and communicating.

1/ What does "I can pray for hours non stop" means?
2/ What is the longest hour you've done "I can pray for hours non stop"?
3/ Why mayn't me understand your prayer?
4/ If you arent praying in an earthly & human language, then in what language do you say these marathon prayers in?
5/ What is the "inner man"?
6/ What else, what word, what expression, what phrase can be used to describe the "inner man"?
7/ What is the "inner man" connecting to?
8/ What and how does the "inner man" communicate?

solite3:
praying in the spirit is praying with the awareness of God's presence.
this is just a summary

Give an example of this in the bible and with its scriptural reference

have you heard of praying in tongues? there are things human language cannot express, it can only be expressed through speaking tongues or even groanings
hahaha I don't count hours when I m praying, I can start praying from evening, when I m done I realize it's already night.

tongues can be used in prayers, songs and even teachings,


when praying with people it's better to pray with understanding to carry them along.

God responds to the Spirit not to the flesh.

the inner man is the spirit man and it communicates to the God.

the spirit's language is unknown to humans.



Romans 8:26 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.

Give an example of this in the bible and with its scriptural reference

Paul himself is an example


1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

solite3:
have you heard of praying in tongues?

Of course, I have heard of praying in tongues.
I havent just heard of praying in tongues alone, I actually, do know about, praying in tongues, misunderstood.

How about you?
Have you heard about praying in tongues on social media, Facebook, as the example of this?

solite3:
there are things human language cannot express,
it can only be expressed through speaking tongues or even groanings

1/ Hang on, isnt human language speaking in tongues?
2/ Are speaking tongues or groanings the same thing?
3/ Did Jesus speak in tongue?
4/ Why did or did not Jesus speak in tongue?

solite3:
hahaha I don't count hours when I m praying, I can start praying from evening, when I m done I realize it's already night.

So, say 2-3 hours or at max, 6 hours?

The Holy Spirit is not a force.

The word HE is not for a force.

....Baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit...

Father is a personality

Is holy spiril a male or a female?

MightySparrow:
The holy spirit is only an active force how can you walk in such?

as far as your saying the Holy Spirit is only a active force

Act 5:1  But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 
Act 5:2  And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 
Act 5:3  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 
Act 5:4  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 
Act 5:5  And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 
Act 5:6  And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 
Act 5:7  And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 
Act 5:8  And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 
Act 5:9  Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 
Act 5:10  Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 
Act 5:11  And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

there are many verses showing that the Holy Spirit is God
if you are ever fortunate enough to have the Holy Spirit live in you
you won't need any of the verses, and if you were a false jw, you wouldn't believe the verses

false jw's would twist and lie to have scripture say something else
just like phony christians sol lie and bloodof said diffrent to Jesus and then started accusing the truth bearer
but that's typical of satans mob, Ye are of your father the devil Joh_8:44

Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin ........
What does this verse really mean? Firstly, let's see what it does not mean. The first question is if it is possible for a believer not to commit sin. When we talk of sin, our minds wander to the so-called "big sins" like fornication, murder, adultery, and so on. We forget that doubts and worry are sinful acts.Since every Christian is guilty of doubt and worry, then it means there is no Christian that doesn't commit sin. What is sin under the new covenant? Jesus gave the definition in John 16:9:


" of sin , because they believe not on me ".Thus, a sinner under the new covenant is that who doesn't believe in Christ. The believer has passed from death to life and so he doesn't have the sin nature again. What John is talking about in 1 John 3:9 is the sinful nature and not sinful acts. The spirit of the believer is joined to the Holy Spirit such that it becomes one with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if the Holy Spirit can not sin, the recreated spirit of man can not sin.

Lastly, if you do a word study of the Greek word translated as sin in 1 John 3:9, you'll find out the sin is a noun and not a verb.

you guys are not following the purpose of this tread. it's scattered with whole questions scattered around.

Oh that! To walk in the Spirit means to steadfastly yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

good way to go bro, but I don't agree that the sin means sin nature.
the believer still has the sin nature but it is dead because of christ in him. if the sin nature does not exist any no longer then there will be nothing like committing sins at all but we know this is not the case.

Rev_2:2  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

[quote author=solite3 post=71848771] good way to go bro, but I don't agree that the sin means sin nature.

Thanks my brother. But you should know that there's a difference between the sin nature and the flesh.

MightySparrow:
Is holy spiril a male or a female?

the Holy Spirit is God, God is described in the mascualine, e.g. Father, Son



Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

the spirit of God dwells in believers
the spirit of God is of course the Holy spirit - is God

Joh_4:24a  God is a Spirit:




Rev 21:22  And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

God and the Lamb is the temple of the New Jerusalem, God and the Lamb is God



Rev 22:3  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

the throne of God and the Lamb is in the New Jerusalem, the throne of God it is,
Jesus sit's on the throne of God:

Rev_3:21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

It is impossible to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit.
Hence Jesus promised his disciples the Holy Spirit.




Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Galatians 5:25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.


when you are bornagain, you have a new life, a new nature Christ is born in you, you literally have eternal life ( God's type of life) but you have enemies who challenge your position which are,
1. Mr flesh

2. the devil.

as long as we are in this world we are in battle with those two foes, therefore if you are to overcome these enemies you need to walk in the Spirit. in other to walk in the Spirit, you have to be Spiritually minded.

you have to walk in the reality of what Christ has done on the cross not a defeated life.
walking in the Spirit is all about knowing your position in Christ and acting in line with that position.

for example as a bornagain, the Bible says you cannot sin what does this mean? it mean as a bornagain you are not a sinner( fornicator, liar, dishonest man etc), when you begin to live in this reality then you are walking in the Spirit.

stop living under condemnation! that is what the devil wants!
I remember when I first learnt how to ride bicycle, I was so afraid of falling that I tried to balance myself but I realized the secret of riding a bicycle is to keep riding and the law of dynamics will balance things out.

OK Let's consider another example, when Jesus walked on water. Peter saw him and ask Jesus to command him to come Jesus told him come, he began to walk on water, his attention was on Jesus, guess what happened, a wind came.
who sent the wind? ans: satan
what happened?ans: he lost focus on Jesus and fear came (Mr flesh)
the result ? he began to sink (condemnation)

Jesus immediately stretched forth his hands and caught peter. This is a great encouragement knowing that nothing can take us from his hands.

the Christian life is like riding a bicycle, when you stop walking in the spirit then you start falling!
how do one stop walking in the Spirit? answer
1.when you stop focusing on Jesus and instead focus on correcting your imperfections by yourself instead of God doing it for you, you are gone.

John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.




2. when you start believing the lie that without correcting your past action or yourself God cannot forgive you. pure lie
God forgive you freely in Christ.

Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

1 John 2:12
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

some people do preach that without doing restitution God cannot forgive sins, that is not correct.
if one confesses his/her sins he will forgive him without ever remembering it.

3. when you are unaware of your spiritual position in Christ you will live like a sinner. Remember the prodigal Son, he lived like a slaved not that he stopped being a Son of his father but he forgot whom he was because of his rebellion ( he thought he could be independent from his father) and but when he remembered who he was he then knew his foolishness and decided to go back home ( true repentance).

when you are unaware of your spiritual nature, the enemy will deal with you.

as you grow in grace, the nature of Christ in you will be stronger and the knowledge of your spiritual position also increase.


Ephesians 2:21
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Ephesians 4:15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

1 Peter 2:2
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter 3:18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.


1 John 2:13
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.


finally, to walk in the Spirit means to walk in the reality of the new life you have in christ, you also grow in this knowledge by knowing more about God and his plan for you.

1 John 2:14
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

I pray for any believer who is facing challenges in his life that he receive freedom and begin to enjoy his Christian walk in Jesus name.
