Prayer brings us into UNITY with God. It is not sufficient for us
just to pray with our mind but we need to pray in the Spirit, WITH
the Holy Spirit of God. When we pray we need to TUNE IN to the Holy
Spirit and let the Spirit of God FILL our mind with the mind of
Christ so that we will know what to rightfully pray.
The apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:26 that we do not know
rightfully what to pray but but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us
with groanings too deep for words. When we come into unison with the
Spirit of God then the MIND OF CHRIST is instilled/implanted into us.
He puts into our mind those things that are important for the Spirit
of God and we can pray ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. We can intercede
according to the WILL OF THE SPIRIT and we come into unity with God.
Prayer is not just a matter of reciting your grocery list to
God:”Forgive me this and forgive me that, and give me this and
give me that.” NO, it is COMING INTO CLOSE RELATIONSHIP with Jesus
Christ through His Spirit. We have to SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD and
let His Spirit permeate us and FILL us with the MIND OF CHRIST then
we will be able to pray according to the will of God and we will also
KNOW the MIND of Christ.
May Jesus bless you.
