LORD TEACH US TO PRAY
Third

The Holy Spirit teaches us that to pray as God would have us to pray we must pray in the Spirit. That is what Paul said in Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.” Jude said it too, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost” (Jude 20). How do we do that? How do we pray in the Spirit?

Acknowledge the fact that the Holy Spirit dwells in us (1 Cor. 3:16)
Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30)
Be filled (or controlled) by the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18)

My fifty-four years in ministry have taught me a lot of things, and thankfully I am still learning. One area especially I am continually finding rich nuggets of instructions is prayer. I am no expert on prayer, and I have need of someone teaching me, that is why I call out, “Lord teach me TO pray.”
