Twice in Scripture we are commanded to “pray in the Spirit.” We see this first in Ephesians 6:18 and again in Jude 1:20. We are not told to pray “with” the Spirit or “to” the Spirit, but pray “in” the Spirit.
Have you ever wondered what that means? Is it praying in tongues as Paul referenced in 1 Corinthians 14:15? No. That’s something entirely different.
Is it something that I do or is it something the Holy Spirit does through me? Where does my responsibility end and His activity begin? What is the essence of “praying in the Spirit”? Am I praying for what I want or is the Spirit praying through me according to the will of the Father? And if that’s the case, what’s the content of that prayer? Am I an active participant in my prayer life? Or do I just kick back and let the Spirit take over? And again, if so, to what extent?
Ah, so many questions. Do you want to know the answers? Good. Then keep listening.
The following is a study on Praying in the Spirit.
