Bible Question: I am open to know what you Define you beleive "praying in the Holy Spirit" is, would you mind sharing that with me? |
Bible Answer: Dear brother: "Praying in the Spirit" as found in 1 Cor. 14:14-15. It is my understanding that when we pray publically we are leading the company in prayer, especially in the areas of worship and praise. Praying in the Spirit, would refer to a person who is led by the Holy Spirit as they pray and in 1 Cor. 14 Paul is all things might be done for Spiritual edification. The person who leads fellow believers in such prayer must first of all fill him or herself with the things of God. This will allow the Spirit of God to bring to our rememberance his word, his promises when we are praying. I have experienced this many times in a worship meeting in which the Holy Spirit guides our thoughts and thinking toward Christ and God at a much higher level than we could on our own. It should be the excercise of every believer to pray in the Spirit and to understand in the Spirit. Your Verse on Acts 2:6 is dealing with a very special time in the church when God needed to reach all who listened and by his Spirit he caused each person to hear in his own language. I think here we see the apostles were not speaking in tongues, rather the people hearing were hearing in their own tongue. Peace Robert |
