Bible Question: Jude 1:20 "praying in the Holy Spirit" How does one pray in the Holy Spirit ? |
Bible Answer: Ken John: I believe Jude gives insight into the meaning of v. 20 by the theme he develops throughout his short book, especially in vss. 17-19. Note particularly what he says in v. 19, speaking of those "who walk after their own ungodly lusts" (v.18), he continues (v.19) "These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit." Doesn't this introductory of Jude's lead to a clearer understanding of what he means when he talks about praying in the Holy Spirit? It is not some sort of ecstatic form of prayer that Jude is referring to, but a call simply to pray in the will and power of the Holy Spirit who indwells the life of the believer. See Paul's use of the same term in Ephesians 6:18. --Hank |
