Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we
know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself
maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered
(Romans 8:26).
One of the many blessings of prayer is that it helps us
shut out the world, to focus on the Lord and things pertaining to the
Kingdom. It's not just the things that we say during the time of prayer
that matter, for prayer covers not only the communication or the
content, but also our meditation during the times of prayer. Even the
seclusion is very important; it provides the opportunity for the Spirit
of God to minister to you as you minister to Him.
At the times of prayer, the Holy Spirit can open your eyes.
When you pull apart and commune with Him, He opens your eyes to
spiritual realities and unveils His thoughts to your spirit.
Whenever it's possible to take time away from everything
else to pray, do it. But what if you feel the urge to pray when you're
driving, for instance? Speak in tongues, while you drive. You may be on
an important assignment during those times of prayers; you can continue
with what you're doing; but pray in tongues while you're at it.
Understand that life is spiritual, and except you operate from the realm
of the Spirit, you could be frustrated.
Our opening verse lets us know how we can take charge, from
the realm of the Spirit. When we pray in tongues, the Spirit Himself
makes intercession for us! When you get to this level in prayer, where
the Spirit takes over with groanings and deep sighs, you'll just know
that all things are working together for your good! No matter the
circumstances, boldness will well up in you, and you'll be confident
that come what may, you're a victor in Christ Jesus! You can never be
disadvantaged. Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the opportunity to fellowship
with you in prayer. I make progress continually, because I'm led and
guided always by your Spirit who unveils the realities of the Kingdom to
my spirit, as I spend time with Him in fellowship, in Jesus' Name.
Amen.
