When the Spirit Moves You to Prayer

By Anonymous - March 23, 2009

Ever wonder what your pastor was talking about when he ask you to pray in the spirit ? Immediately we began speaking (praying) in tongues, assuming that this is what is required of us. But is this the right action? Is this really praying in the spirit? And if so, is this the only way to pray in the spirit ? Praying in the Spirit or Holy Ghost is only addressed three times in the bible, Jude 1:20 “Praying in the Holy Ghost”; Ephesians 6:18 “in the Spirit ” and 1 Corinthians 14:15 “pray with the Spirit” However, for some people these three verses are clear instructions for praying in tongues. But, to say that praying in tongues is the only way of praying in the Spirit is to limit the supernatural methods in which Yahweh provides for us to come into his presence.

Most of the time, it catches us off guard because our expectations have become so deeply rooted that we never stop to question them. Instead, we find ourselves saying things like, "God isn't listening," "God didn't answer my prayer," or "God has gone silent. We rarely stop to examine our o...

Defending the Great Name of God through Prayer

By Anonymous - April 07, 2009

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes . Psalms 50:21 (KJV) Maybe because I am a Christian, that I get upset when people speak offensively about Christ my 2 Peter 2:7 ). So what do we do, take them to HR? Maybe, But when we do we risk being labeled Bible-Thump-er, or Jesus freak, or just a plane old trouble maker. Some of you may argue that God did not want you there anyway; my argument is maybe God did want you there to make a change, but because of your willingness to conform to the ways of the world, you have become of no value to God at all. (Selah) Savior It is these very same people that feel you are invading their space when you tell them about Christ. It is these very same people that have no problem with bragging about their perverted sexual preference, they find it t totally acceptable to boast about how many women they have ...
