John Piper Sermons How Do We Pray in the Spirit?
This new teaching by Pastor John Piper titled “How Do We Pray in the Spirit?” is what we are bringing to you to listen to and meditate on.How do we pray in the Spirit? And can we accidentally pray out of the Spirit?
Pastor John started the message by telling us that we need to keep reminding ourselves that prayer is not the only thing that Christians are called upon to do “in the Spirit” or “by the Spirit.” And by the way, the Greek phrase en pneumati is sometimes translated “by the Spirit” and sometimes “in the Spirit.” I don’t think Paul, in his mind, would make that distinction. For example:
- Galatians 5:16: Walk in the Spirit.
- Romans 8:13: Put to death the deeds of the body in the Spirit.
- 1 Corinthians 12:3: Confess Jesus as Lord in the Spirit.
- Philippians 3:3: Worship in the Spirit.
- 1 Corinthians 14:16: Give thanks in the Spirit.
- Galatians 6:1: Restore a wayward brother in the Spirit.
Praying in the flesh would be praying without faith in the promise that the Holy Spirit will prompt and guide our prayers. And praying in the Spirit means we trust the promise of God’s help, by the Spirit, so that through this faith, the Holy Spirit is supplied and our prayers are moved and guided by the Spirit.
This is a message that you will love.
