Subject: Are we to pray to the holy spirit? |
Bible Note: Hi srbaegon, If one wanted to drive through the state of Michigan here in the USA, he would have to go to Michigan. You can not pray through the Holy Spirit without first going to Him. Here in Matthew 6:5 the Holy Spirit (God with us) says that the hypocrites and the people who stand on street corners in order to be seen by men have their reward already. "Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full." But you, He goes on to say, go into your inner room and shut the door; therefore do not be like them. He tells them how to pray and and tells them to pray to the heavenly Father. I have no problem with addressing our prayers to the heavenly Father, but when we hallow His name then we realize that we are praying to the triune God. From the heart, Ray |
