Yom Re-vi-i, 2 Adar 9, 6001 – March 8, 2017

Prayer In The Spirit

One of our spiritual weapons is prayer. It is perhaps our greatest weapon against darkness. Here we have the prayers we understand which we pray from our heart in our known language. We also have prayer in the Spirit, which is a language we do not understand.

Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 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.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Often we quote Romans 8:28. But as we see here, that is preceded by scriptures talking about prayer in the Spirit. If we can learn to pray in this way for a person or situation, we can have the Spirit pray through us for things we do not even yet know about. This is powerful because we then are vessels of God for the “perfect” prayer.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done among us. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive the trespasses against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil around us. Restore unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah, Jesus (Yeshuah). Amen.
