Prayer Part 3

So this last week we started talking about praying in the Holy Spirit and how He makes intercession for us according to the will of God.

Romans 8:27-28

When we pray in the Spirit, God works everything together or good because we have been walking with him.

Now understand that we can't just make a blanket statement, all things work together for good. It is subject to walking with the Spirit, praying in the Spirit, praying God's perfect will. Then all things work together for good.

See praying in the Spirit takes us out of the equation and puts God into it. When we pray in a language we understand, Satan can jump in and bring a thought or lie to us. But when we pray in our heavenly language only God can understand it. So it takes out the doubt and the fear that we may have and puts in the strength and courage of God.

1 Corinthians 14:4

Now here is one of my favorite things about praying in the Spirit. When we pray in the Spirit we are edifying ourselves. We are praying to God about ourselves and He is preparing us for our future. He is working inside of us to get the junk out so that we can fulfill His calling without us even realizing it at the time.

So this week make it a point to spend extra time praying in the Spirit. Let God work in you this next week to get you ready for what he has called you to do.

Next we will look deeper into receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.
