Prayer Rhythm Part 1 (3 of 9)
Series: Rhythm
Steve Jones
Acts 2:38
SERIES SUMMARY: We all want to live an abundant life and a holy life but sometimes we struggle. To struggle less we must stay in “rhythm” with the Holy Spirit. This series is about how to stay in “rhythm” with the Holy Spirit by practicing what are traditionally known as the spiritual disciplines.
SERMON SUMMARY: This sermon deals with the Holy Spirit rhythm of prayer. We show that prayer is connected to the Holy Spirit in three ways: 1) The POWER connection. 2) The HOLINESS connection. 3) The PEACE connection.
INTRODUCTION: There are certain lifestyle practices that open us to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Most of these practices are DAILY. The first one I talked about was reading or listening to the Bible every day. That was rhythm one because it’s of first importance.
The Holy Spirit rhythm that I want to talk about today is prayer. Jesus said the two greatest commandments were to love God and to love your neighbor. The two greatest Holy Spirit ‘‘rhythms’’ are to read the Bible and to pray. What makes prayer a rhythm of the Holy Spirit? Three connections.

Acts 2:38 ‘‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’’
Acts 5:32 ‘‘The Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.’’
When we pray, we are ENGAGING the POWER of the Holy Spirit. In the following scriptures I simply want us to see the CONNECTION between prayer and the Holy Spirit.
Rom.8:26 ‘‘The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words’’
Whatever else that verse means, it means that the Holy Spirit gets involved when we pray
Lk.3:21-22 ‘‘As Jesus was PRAYING, the heave ...
