Bible Question: Praying in the Spirit? In the context of Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 18? What does it mean to you personally? If you believe that means to speak in tongues, well I have a lot of questions about speaking in tongues so if you're knowledgeable about that and would like to chat and explain a few things please reply and tell me and maybe we can email? Or if this site has direct messages? Thank you for any answers |
Bible Answer: Hi Allison and welcome. In reference to your question about Ephesisians 6:18 Paul is giving us an imperative that goes hand in hand with the rest of Paul's teaching especially what he wrote to the Chuch in Corinth. That said there is confusion and in many cases abuses of this doctrine. As Christians we are charged to seek God. That should and must be our focus. Too many have left themselves be sidetracked on one side of the road or the other over the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Scripture tells us to cultivate our relationship with God allowing the Holy Spirit not man's arguments guide us to the truth. If you care to discuss this my email address is in my profile and I would be more than happy respond to any question or concern. Have a blessed and Jesus fill life. |
