1 | What is meant by "pray in the spirit". | Eph 6:18 | David P | 80016 | ||
What is meant by the expression "pray . . . in the spirit"? | ||||||
2 | What is meant by "pray in the spirit". | Eph 6:18 | Justasiam | 80018 | ||
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.(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. When we pray in the Spirit, the Holy Ghost prays through us. We do not always know what is needed for those we pray for, but The Spirit knows, and the Spirit prays. The Spirit prays according to the will of God. When we allow the Holy Ghost to pray through us, we pray according to the will of God. It is really wonderful. God bless you as you pray. |

3 | What is meant by "pray in the spirit". | Eph 6:18 | Searcher56 | 80023 | ||
Justasiam, welcom to the forum. Do we pray thru the Holy Spirit or does he pray thru us? If one intercedes, isn't he between the subject and object? Us - Christ - God (Rom 8:34) ... so I see us pray thru Him. Searcher |

4 | What is meant by "pray in the spirit". | Eph 6:18 | Ray | 80037 | ||
Hi Searcher, I believe that since Jesus is now at the right hand of God, we can think of Him as Holy Spirit. He is our intercessory High Priest. Romans 8:34, "who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God/, who also intercedes for us." Psalm 43:1, "Vindicate me, O God/, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;..." 1 John 5:14, "And this is the confidence which we have before Him/, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that (He) hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him." 1 Corinthians 3:18, "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before Him/." 1 Corinthians 2:16, "For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, that he should instruct Him?/..." 1 Corinthians 2:11, "For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit/ of God." Romans 8:26, "And in the same way the (Spirit) also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself [(note Himself, Justasiam, not itself)] intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts know what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God/." According to (His) purpose, verse 28. The slashes and parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
