what is praying in the holy ghost?

That was so good! thank you

Anthony P.S. The Apostle Paul by revelation being shown spiritually had to explain in great length how

to do things of God correctly because the Corinthian believers were way out of order and combining pagan

actions and thought to the things of God. It is the first thing done on the day of Pentecost and in Acts 2:11

Gods Word says they were speaking the wonderful works of God and they were not jumping up and dow

shouting or hitting the floor they decent and in order. Prayerfully this helps.

ver appreciated! trying to learn things

Hi Anthony You are going to get a few takes on this, one of them praying in the spirit, for the spirit to

come in which is not possible because we already have it. 2 Be too be praying to God quietly about his word

mind with understanding. Third which is what I understand scripturally is speaking in tongues which is

your own private prayer life with God. Now many believe this doesn't exist anymore, or went out with

apostolic age. Also they've seen examples like I have that are so out of order who would want to do that.

Correctly understood all things of God are decent and in order, this manifestation of Gods gift is primarily for

your private prayer life been doing this for 42 years.

I manifested power from on High shortly after confessing Romans 10: 9+10, now like everything

else biblically you have to make up your mind to believe or not. There's got to be something to it because the

Apostle paul said to the church at Corinth that he thanked God he spoke in tongues more than ye all

and keep in mind he was given how the church was suppose to operate. There are 12 benefits to SI.T. biblically.

Anthony,

Paul touches on this in 1 Corinthians 14:15. He says "What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also:

He puts himself out there hypothetically as saying "If I did what you did, if I prayed in the spirit, but not with my mind, and I prayed in an unknown tongue, then my understanding is unfruitful. I don't even understand what I'm praying!"

So he says "I will pray with the Spirit." He didn't say anything about tongues. He says I will pray with the Spirit, and pray with the understanding also. So when I pray, it will be from my spirit where Christ dwells, but I'm also going to pray thoughts. There are things that I want to pray about and I'm literally involved with Jesus Christ. I'm not bypassing my brain to try and reach some type of spiritual euphoria. This is a relationship!

Paul then says I will sing with the spirit, and with understanding also. You see, to those people in Corinth, it's like "That's unspiritual!" But once you start understanding the songs you sing, and this is what we are guilty of today, is that we have a lot of songs that we just repeat the same phrases over and over again. And it's like hypnotic stuff. People try to reach a spiritual high. And then you sing other songs, and people will say "Well, I don't feel the spirit there," but the song might have some good doctrine to it.

Once a person is saved, the battle is for the mind. It's no wonder that Satan brings some of the pagan mystic religions into the church to try and reach a spiritual high! As far as singing in the Spirit, Paul says in Ephesians 5:18-20 "Don't be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord."

One of the things of being filled with the Spirit is singing with melody in your heart. It doesn't necessarily mean with your mouth. Paul says I'm going to sing with my understanding also!

Hope this helps?

awesome thanks

Thanks, Jesse, well said.
