Bible Question: What is meant by the expression "pray . . . in the spirit"? |
Bible Answer: 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. |
