bjma4: You may be at as much of a loss as I am to understand why another Forum user would express surprise at the answer I previously gave you concerning prayer. It was, as you know, a direct quotation from Matthew 6:9, wherein Jesus taught His disciples to pray, "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name." That is our Lord's instructions. You have been given different instructions by another user of this Forum. You may, of course, decide whether to follow Jesus' instructions on prayer, or the tutelage of a Forum poster. The decision, I believe, won't be difficult for you. I'm sorry that on your initial post you were exposed to this sort of thing. There is a lesson in it, however, that pertains to all believers, and that lesson is to accept no teaching by any one any where at any time that is not firmly grounded in the word of God, the Bible. What Jesus taught in Matthew 6:9 is the truth. Anything that is taught that is at variance with what Jesus taught is not the truth. --Hank | ||||||
3 | Are we to pray to the holy spirit? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 155182 | ||
Hi Hank, This beginning of a worthwhile discussion is just that, a beginning. We will be looking I would hope at some other Scriptures to compare with the truth found in Matthew 6:9. From the heart, Ray |

4 | Are we to pray to the holy spirit? | Matt 6:9 | mark d seyler | 155196 | ||
Hi Ray, When the disciples asked Jesus the same question that bjma4 asked this forum, Jesus answered: Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. How simple is that? Would you presume to add to what our Lord and Saviour and Master teaches us? We know that Stephen, as he was being martyred, prayed to Jesus, saying "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." I do not doubt that God heard that prayer. If you pray with a sincere heart, and say, "Holy Spirit, fill me with Your power!", I believe God hears your prayer. God accepts so much from us, being patient with us while He trains and teaches us. But if you ask, to Whom should I address my prayer, what can you possibly add to what Jesus answered? Love in Christ, Mark |
