Praying In The Spirit
Samuel Burgess
Romans 8:26-27
INTRODUCTION> [ILLUSTRATION]> Gordon Brownville’s Symbols of the Holy Spirit tells about the great Norwegian explorer Roald (Rual) Amundsen, the first to discover the magnetic meridian of the North Pole and to discover the South Pole. On one of his trips, Amundsen took a homing pigeon with him.
When he had finally reached the top of the world, he opened the bird’s cage and set it free. Imagine the delight of Amundsen’s wife, back in Norway, when she looked up from the doorway of her home and saw the pigeon circling in the sky above. No doubt she exclaimed, ‘‘He’s alive! My husband is still alive!’’
This is what took place when Jesus ascended. He was gone, but the disciples clung to His Promise to send them the Holy Spirit. What joy they experienced when the dovelike Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost. The disciples had with them the continual reminder that Jesus was alive and victorious at the right hand of the Father. I believe that this continues to be the Holy Spirit’s message to us...
For those of us who have trusted in and received Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord, we have Someone living inside of us; He is the Holy Spirit, and He is a constant reminder to us that Jesus is alive...and because of this we can live with hope, peace, and power.
This is important for us to know, especially when it comes to praying. More people are praying like ever before; praying more intensely; with a greater desire... needing help as they pray; seeking answers for their life.
Here in [Romans 8:26,27] we are given all the encouragement that we need to pray and not to lose heart as we pray. These 2 verses should keep us energized, excited and enlightened, to keep us praying. We can anticipate our prayers being answered once we accept the help of the Holy Spirit.
*The basic principle that will help us get the exact answer we need to our prayers is this...
The Key is: PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT!!
