God Speaks Through Prayer

The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the Saints in accordance with God’s will. Romans 8:26-27

Do you use a journal to write down what God speaks to you?

The Holy Spirit reveals truth. Truth is just not a concept to be studied. Truth is a person. Jesus stated in John 14:6. I am the truth.  When God gave you eternal life, he gave you himself. And the Holy Spirit reveals truth, he is not teaching you a concept to be thought about. He is leading you to a relationship with a person.He is your life.

Prayer is a two way communication with God.  Prayer is not a one way conversation.  A person prayer life can be a one way communication with God; you being the one doing all the talking.  However, prayer involves listening also.

Prayer is a relationship, not a religious activity   God doesn’t need our prayer. However, he does want us to pray to Him.  Through prayer, God will do in and through our life.  The Holy Spirit will take the Word and guide us tot he area of praying.  The Holy Spirit knows the will of God.  When he prays for us, he is praying absolute agreement with God. This helps us know the will of God.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you that we can pray to you and listen to you.  I thank you for the Holy Spirit that he helps us to pray.  He leads us into prayer that is in agreement with you and your will! I pray that we will take the time to really hear your voice and to know your voice. I pray that we will desire to do your way.
In Jesus Name

Amen
