*DAILY DEW 21/SEPTEMBER/2022* *PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT* _Key Bible Text:_ *"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"* (Romans 6:1-2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Many believers do not know that you can pray in English and yet, you are praying in the Spirit. And you can as well pray in tongues, and yet, you are praying in the flesh. Praying in the Spirit does not always mean praying in or with unknown tongues. Praying in tongues is praying WITH the spirit. This is the commonest way to pray IN the Spirit. It means you are praying not with a language known by your mind, but with a spiritual prayer language deposited in your spirit-man. But you see, you can do this in the flesh. It is actually common. When you pray in tongues in unrepentance, or with envy, jealousy, hate or unforgiveness etc in your heart; that is praying in the flesh. You are praying in unknown tongues, with your spirit, but the Spirit of God is not in it. For you to pray aright with your spirit, you must acknowledge the One who indwells your spirit. You must acknowledge God. You are speaking mysteries to God, the Bible says. It's not just a code or a formula or a rolling of the tongue on the teeth and shaking of the head. No. You are talking to Someone. And if you must fellowship with God deeply, you have to get rid of everything you know which stands in the way. The fact alone that you are 'tonguing' is not enough. You must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Two people are involved. God and you. And if it must be a fellowship in the Spirit, you must align from heart to mouth. Likewise, many times in fellowship with God, the Spirit takes over and directs you to pray in a particular way or for particular people and you know this could never have come from your thinking or mind, yet the whole prayer is in English (or in a language that you speak everyday) Sometimes you are praying in English and mentioning names and places and prayers that don't make sense. I mean, you don't understand what you are saying. Yet the language you are speaking is the one you understand. Some call it prophetic prayer, but it's simply praying in the Spirit. Yes, you can pray in the Spirit in the language you understand. It happens all the time. _MEDITATION:_ *"So, pray often. Pray in tongues often. Pray in the understanding too. Pray with the spirit often. Endeavour to Pray in the Spirit always, whether in tongues or in English or Yoruba etc. Pray before God. Fellowship with Him.
