What does it mean to pray in the spirit?
Much, much more!
But, in order to pray in the spirit effectively, you must first understand some of the fundamentals of Spirit-led, Spirit-guided prayer.
So here are some things to consider when praying in the spirit.
1. The Spirit’s guiding
There is nothing like praying in the spirit without the Holy Spirit. Outside of the Holy Spirit, all you have is prayer in the flesh and in your knowledge.
The Holy Spirit is the one who creates the desire to pray in spirit.
2. Faith
To be able to pray in the spirit, you must believe that it exists and that you want to be used by the Lord to do so.
3. Openness to the Holy Spirit
To enter into the flow of praying in the spirit, you must be receptive to the Holy Spirit’s urging. He will motivate you to pray and give you the power to do so. (Phil 2:13)
4. Obedience and yielding
Furthermore, not only must you be alert to the Holy Spirit when praying in the spirit, but you must also be prepared to submit and obey the impulses and illumination that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind.
If you surrender and are eager to obey the Holy Spirit, the Lord will assist you in praying frequently.
5. Fertility
The prayer of the spirit is full of passion and fervency.
And you must be willing to let go and break free when the fire arrives in order to properly express and exhaust the prayer.
6. Adaptability
Because the Holy Spirit guides prayer in the spirit, he will provide you awareness about problems and events outside of your local context that require urgent prayer.
Being open-minded can assist you in becoming responsive to the Spirit.
7. Prompt response
Lazy and procrastinators have no place in Spirit-inspired prayers.
Most of the time, the prayer is urgent; a person or a situation has to be saved right now, and the Holy Spirit is relying on you to do it.
In the School of Prayer with the Spirit, quick reaction is required.
8. moaning and speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues and groaning are both examples of praying in the spirit.
In summary, you may not be able to pray in the spirit entirely, properly, thoroughly, or satisfactorily if you do not speak in tongues.
Furthermore, the prayer in the spirit may be accompanied with moaning (sighs that cannot be put in articulate words).
All you need to do is follow the spirit’s direction.
