Praying in the Spirit

The only kind of prayer that is acceptable to God is one directed by the Holy Spirit. Actually,  this goes far beyond our prayers. It applies to every area of the Christian life. The only  kind of Christian life acceptable to God is one directed by the Holy Spirit. Paul  brings this out in the 8th chapter of Romans.

In Romans 8:14, he says: “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons God.” That’s what constitutes a person, a son or a child of God, that he’s being led by the Spirit of God.  You see, to become a child of God you must be born of God’s Spirit. That’s the initial  experience without which you cannot enter the Christian life. But to live as a child of God,  you must continue to be led by the Holy Spirit, God’s Spirit.
