We often make things more complicated than what they really are when it comes to Biblical things. Praying in the Spirit is probably just the opposite of praying in the flesh, or from the flesh..

I received alot of for my spiritual strenght as well as my physical sthrenght.Thanks alot for sharing to pray with the Holy Spirit through our living Bible words .🙏
Thank you, Teacher and Pastor John, for your anointed and solid, as well as Scriptural and gracious teaching. I believe, Brother John, that in the body of Christ, you have been given to the church of Christ as, first, a Teacher and then a Pastor; because I can discern that you have a vocation from God - a calling and you have been equipped to be, and anointed a Teacher, first, and then a Pastor; because your teaching is godly and deep; this is in accordance with the 5-Fold ministry or Offices written in Ephesians 4:11-15, "11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." NIV Bible.
Thank you Pastor John..for clarification on praying in the Spirit..Thank you heavenly Father for placing the right teaching in his heart ❤ so we could understand by guidance of the Holy Spirit. Blessings to all Amen ❤❤
Thank you, Pastor John for bringing clarity to this topic of praying in the spirit. From the outset you let us know what it does NOT mean and that helped set the stage for further understanding 🙌.
Only the precious Holy Spirit can teach you how to pray in the Spirit, he leads everything he's the leader, he's the helper the counselor he is our guide he will teach you🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏
Praying in the Spirit is praying as the Bible teaches us to pray. It is to pray God's will for our lives as well as the fruit of the Spirit. It is to pray with right attitude of God's love. Praying in the Spirit is also praying in tongues.
The word the word speak like when you text on your phone but within your heart ❤️ written in your heart God is the word he wrote to you and you can write right back righteousness start on paper like a little child he knows what you ask before ye ask and pray always God is with us amen Nazareth Murphy USA
"For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit...For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful...I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you." 01 Corinthians 14:2, 14, 18 ESV
"And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." 01 Corinthians 2:13-14.

Praying in the spirit is speaking in "tongues" which is one spiritual language. Speaking in " tongues" occurs as the result of the Holy Spirit baptism which is how the Holy Spirit is recieved.
@@RabbiMurray The speaking in tongues you are refering to is the gift of speaking in tongues that is to be accompanied by a believer with the gift of intetpretation of tongues so that all in a church gathering may be edified. Not all believers have this gift. Speaking in tongues as the first evidence that a believer has recieved the Holy Spirit and the believers private prayer language for person edification all born again believers have.
Yes indeed and it is absolutely Biblical. But unfortunately, many great and renowned Christian Ministers like Dr. John Piper just wouldn't believe/accept this TRUTH. 😩 (probably lacking in faith in "speaking in tongues") Hence, they would interpret, rephrase or even change the original illustrations and meanings of Paul's words, trying to explain away Paul's original preaching on TONGUES...like claiming "speaking of tongues has already ceased etc. 😮
Notice Eph 6:17-18 "17sword of the spirit the word of God" "18praying always ... in the spirit". I take this to mean take up the word of God in our prayers is praying in the Spirit, or to put it another way, to pray the word of God is praying in the Spirit.
I agree that we don’t have to pray in tongues to pray in the spirit. I believe praying in the spirit is just spirit led prayer. I think as believers when we pray, we assume our prayers are effective just bc we are praying. But sometimes we pray soulish prayers and are not praying accordingly to the will of God. Those prayers are virtually useless. But if we pray led by the Spirit, we are praying accordingly to his will and according to what is needed at that moment, our prayers are therefore heard and answered. Praying in tongues is obviously spirit led prayer but everyone doesn’t pray in tongues and you don’t have to to pray effective prayers. Your prayers just have to be with the Spirits assistance and not in your flesh.
Furthermore we must recognise that it is not ‘the Spirit “ but accurately God Holy Spirit. He is God. He is creator. He is All in All God. He is the fullness of God. Jehovah. Almighty God! Spiritual accuracy is warranted in the Body of Christ. 🙏🏾
Not all who speak in error are false teachers. Many have misunderstood and that's why he went in detail. In fact, the person who asked seemed to have a great deal of misunderstanding by even saying "praying OUT the spirit".
@@HearGodsWord Oh I actually misread sorry :P I do wonder, how can you distinguish a false from a right teacher when both use the same book as their foundation?

My Bible says… when I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays but my understanding is unfruitful. So it is tongues. Why do so many people resist this?
... Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV ....and so in agreement: "The Holy Spirit is God Himself, like the Father and like the Son. liberty: The Spirit gives us freedom from sin, death, and the condemnation of the law (2 Corinthians 3:7-12).
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26 HOW ABOUT THIS VERSE ???Anybody could explain this verse please??thank u
You CAN pray in tongues and groan vocally all times to God by the help of the Holy Spirit. 1CORINTHIANS 14;1-2. It is our Spiritman that prays. Follow the Word of God as per Apostle Paul if you still believe him.
Thanks so much for this .. I have a question though in 1 Corinthians 14:13-19 "3 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. 16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[d] say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue." it seems here that "in the Spirit" in this context refers to tongues ... i wonder if anyone else has a different take on this..
This is speaking about when a person is present who naturally speaks the language of his country...a tongue...there should be an interpreter..one who also speaks his native language..to tell what he is saying! This is the same principle set forth at pentecost. All the different people who spoke native languages who were present...' heard the disciples speaking the gospel in their OWN LANGUAGE ! the Greek word for tongues is glossolalia meaning an actual bonified language spoken by an established country ! I came to this truth after many years believing that speaking in tongues was totally different from the truth...thank God ...he brings us into truth if we are desiring it !
Prays in the Spirit is to let the Holy Spirit pray. We are to yield to the Holy Spirit and pray according to the God's will. In other words, pray in the Spirit is to pray in tongues for those who speak in tongues with our mind is unfruitful. For those who don't speak in tongue we have to pray what the Holy Spirit asks you to pray.
Praying in the Spirit means praying his Word back to him. His Word is Spirit and it is Life. Living and active and he is ready to perform his Word. Its not gibberish (Tongues.) Nor is it Soulish Praying. (This is what I want) It has to line up with his Will and his Will is His Word. The Spirit and The Word work together.
Amen. Spot on. I wish I could leave it at that, but what do we do in regard to our own evangelism with the countless others who proclaim or are convinced to be of the spirit but their works prove otherwise? Nothing seems to lead them to repentance because they already feel righteous in their own eyes. How do we, through Christ, save these souls?
We need to show them the 10 commandments (reveal their sin to them) including self righteousness when we say we are good but we are all sinners. So when their sin is revealed thats when they will take the cure, their saviour. I recommend watching Ray comfort evangelism videos on the youtube living waters channel. Bless!
I am right now. God bless you! Keep in mind, the devil will try to convince you that it is not real and it’s just gibberish and you should not take it seriously. However, resist the devil and he will flee.
If you are thirsty for the spirit and His gifts you should ask without ceasing from the heart and one day he will gift that to you.I have been seeking His Kingdom and one they I got the baptism of the HG
Did he answer the question? It's almost like he answered it in a way to satisfy Pentecostals. We hunger and thirst for righteousness - not ours but God's. The Holy Spirit is a person of the Godhead that is One, . Pray according to his will. That we may be one with the father John 17:21 You have to know His will to pray His will. Our father who is in Heaven.., your will be done.
To pray in the Spirit is to pray according to the Spirit's will. But I think there is more to it than that, a kind of resting in the Spirit's empowering and help.
The wrestling is not understand what praying in the spirit is, but it says I will call Spirit and I will pray with my understanding also, so praying in the spirit is related to a language, Battle of the book of Acts you want to apostles whatever the temple it says there was a sound of a kitty will rushing wind or heavy breathing, while breathing move your lips and tongue and as you do exhaled band as you do lest the words roll of you tongue naturally ,and speak by the spirit !!
When I pray I'm being sincere but am I only praying with my mind . Because I want to know God better Jesus and I want to know that when I'm praying that I'm praying with my whole body my whole mind my whole soul my own heart whole heart how do you know for sure if I'm you're praying the right way or if there is no right way or wrong way to pray just a question is quite important to me thank you
Please, is this correct? “I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is Worshiped and Glorified.” Is this what the bible say, and where? Thank you,
Romans 8:26 - this has nothing to do with our participation. It is the Holy Spirit communicating to the Father on our behalf. "Groanings that cannot be uttered," means that we can't hear what's being said, but God does.
I think part of what it means to pray in the Spirit is to open ourselves up to the Spirit's help as we pray and to pray with an attitude of resting in God.
Well put Max I agree with you all the way.
I have constantly thought so and I don't think its just praying in tongues....

This is speaking about when a person is present who naturally speaks the language of his country...a tongue...there should be an interpreter..one who also speaks his native language..to tell what he is saying! This is the same principle set forth at pentecost. All the different people who spoke native languages who were present...' heard the disciples speaking the gospel in their OWN LANGUAGE ! the Greek word for tongues is glossolalia meaning an actual bonified language spoken by an established country ! I came to this truth after many years believing that speaking in tongues was totally different from the truth...thank God ...he brings us into truth if we are desiring it !
Prays in the Spirit is to let the Holy Spirit pray. We are to yield to the Holy Spirit and pray according to the God's will. In other words, pray in the Spirit is to pray in tongues for those who speak in tongues with our mind is unfruitful. For those who don't speak in tongue we have to pray what the Holy Spirit asks you to pray.
Praying in the Spirit means praying his Word back to him. His Word is Spirit and it is Life. Living and active and he is ready to perform his Word. Its not gibberish (Tongues.) Nor is it Soulish Praying. (This is what I want) It has to line up with his Will and his Will is His Word. The Spirit and The Word work together.
Foolishness.Stop thinking with your carnal mind. You are at risk of blasphemy of the holy spirit calling this language gibberish. Smh.
Amen. Spot on. I wish I could leave it at that, but what do we do in regard to our own evangelism with the countless others who proclaim or are convinced to be of the spirit but their works prove otherwise? Nothing seems to lead them to repentance because they already feel righteous in their own eyes. How do we, through Christ, save these souls?
We need to show them the 10 commandments (reveal their sin to them) including self righteousness when we say we are good but we are all sinners. So when their sin is revealed thats when they will take the cure, their saviour. I recommend watching Ray comfort evangelism videos on the youtube living waters channel. Bless!
Holy Spirit guides me to pray unceasingly.
Can someone please pray that I would get the baptism of the Holy Spirit and my prayer language?
I am right now. God bless you! Keep in mind, the devil will try to convince you that it is not real and it’s just gibberish and you should not take it seriously. However, resist the devil and he will flee.
If you are thirsty for the spirit and His gifts you should ask without ceasing from the heart and one day he will gift that to you.I have been seeking His Kingdom and one they I got the baptism of the HG
Great video
Did he answer the question? It's almost like he answered it in a way to satisfy Pentecostals. We hunger and thirst for righteousness - not ours but God's. The Holy Spirit is a person of the Godhead that is One, . Pray according to his will. That we may be one with the father John 17:21 You have to know His will to pray His will. Our father who is in Heaven.., your will be done.
To pray in the Spirit is to pray according to the Spirit's will. But I think there is more to it than that, a kind of resting in the Spirit's empowering and help.
@@maxaplin4204 sure! resting and believing his enablement. - help in doing God's will, empowering to stand on his promises.
How can I pray in spirit and how may I know that I'm praying in spirit
Really,how can I prove that my prayer is in the spirit.
Our prayers are moved and guide by the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit intercedes for us, with groanings too deep for words.
Well...if "groaning" doesn't construe as "tongue utterance"; wonder what else it could be then? 😏
Pastor John can you please elaborate and enlightened me on this verse also concerning about praying in spirit; JOHN 4: 24
The wrestling is not understand what praying in the spirit is, but it says I will call Spirit and I will pray with my understanding also, so praying in the spirit is related to a language, Battle of the book of Acts you want to apostles whatever the temple it says there was a sound of a kitty will rushing wind or heavy breathing, while breathing move your lips and tongue and as you do exhaled band as you do lest the words roll of you tongue naturally ,and speak by the spirit !!
When I pray I'm being sincere but am I only praying with my mind . Because I want to know God better Jesus and I want to know that when I'm praying that I'm praying with my whole body my whole mind my whole soul my own heart whole heart how do you know for sure if I'm you're praying the right way or if there is no right way or wrong way to pray just a question is quite important to me thank you
We cannot pray any other way than in the Spirit
Please, is this correct?
“I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is Worshiped and Glorified.”
Is this what the bible say, and where?
Thank you,
Romans 8:26 - this has nothing to do with our participation. It is the Holy Spirit communicating to the Father on our behalf. "Groanings that cannot be uttered," means that we can't hear what's being said, but God does.
