Praying in the Spirit

Praying in the Spirit

“Building yourselves up on your most holy faith praying in the Holy Ghost (Jude 1:20).”

Prayer has several languages. You are free to utilize the best prayer language for your situation. Sometimes you need to pray in your native language so that you can hear yourself pray and allow the words that you are speaking to be cathartic for you. It is also important when praying with others to pray in a language they understand so that they hear you fully and participate wholeheartedly in the experience (I Corinthians 14:14-15).

There are other times when you need to pray in the Spirit or pray in our heavenly language because you are not sure what to pray for or clear about the specific outcome you desire. When you pray in the Spirit, you pray the perfect will of God. The Holy Spirit draws you to connect with your spirit within on a much deeper level (Romans 8:26-28). When you feel low or torn down by others, build yourself up by praying in the Spirit.

Praying in the Spirit transcends religious lines. Most faith traditions have a form of prayer that takes you out of your head and causes you to get in touch with your spirit, the real you. Another term for praying in the Spirit is chanting. I became aware of this when I was watching the movie of Tina Turner’s life, What’s Love Got to Do with It. Tina had her spiritual awakening looking in the mirror and doing the Buddhist chant. She was able to get clear about who she was, what her purpose was, and how to get out of an abusive marriage.

Try praying in the Spirit and using the Prayer Tool of Forgiving as symbolized by the vice grip pliers to let go of any deep-seated issues that you have not been able to release up until this point.

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...
  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
