All in Spirit Prayer

Born of Water and Spirit we are anointed

Richard Forbes
Christian , Spirit Prayer, Holy Spirit

We pray, and as we do so we ask that the Holy Spirit guide us, but when we exit our prayer closet, or other place of prayer, do we leave him behind? Those who do so don’t understand him fully, and the impact he has on our daily lives. However, if we do know him better, and we feel him surrounding us all day long, do we think that he is just hovering about us as we do whatever it is that we do in the world? If so then we misunderstand our relationship with him; he is not meant to follow us about like a puppy, but we are to keep in step with him. Do we walk in the steps of the Spirit through our lives?

Prayers of the Spirit, and the will of God in them

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Spirit Prayer

Do we say that we pray in the Spirit? When we say this it is not altogether true, we mis-speak, because in reality we do not control the Spirit; the Spirit prays of its own accord from within us, and gives utterance to prayer that is within God’s will, while our own prayers are predominately comprised of our will, and weaknesses. Sometimes the Spirit’s prayer is a restatement of ours, but most times it is an intercession that is far beyond our desires and wants. A reconciliation of our will with God’s... a pruning of our wants to conform with what God’s will has planned for us.
