My Helper (Empower Me! Prayer Series 14 of 15)

The Spirit Himself Opens our Eyes and Ears of Understanding

Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in prayer.  

The Holy Spirit lives within believers, and He will help us in our prayer lives. 

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.  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  Romans 8:26-27

The Holy Spirit is our helper.  We often do not know what to pray for ourselves or others.  We do not know the full situation.  However, if we pray with the help of the Holy Spirit, we pray out the full situation.  

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.   I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.  John 15:4,5

We do not have to pray prayers that say, "If it be your will God."  We can know His will by the Holy Spirit's help in understanding the His Word, the Bible.  

"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power."  Ephesians 1:17-19

 As New Covenant Christians, we have the Holy Spirit to help us in our prayers - to help us communicate with God.  If you find yourself not knowing how to pray often in situations, turn to the passage in Ephesians above and begin to pray it for yourself.  This prayer alone, will change your life.  Allow the Holy Spirit to give you understanding of God's Word as your read it and begin to apply it in your own life and in your prayer life. 

"Listen well and listen good.  Listen like you should.  Open the eyes ofy our spirit.  Close the yes of your mind.  Close the eyes and ears of your mind to religious thoughts and training in church praying.  Listen to the New Covenant, the Truths unveiled.  Rejoice in them and walk in the light of them, and act upon them.  And, prayer will become real.  The supernatural will be an everyday affair, and you will love the Lord.  And, worship and honor Him.  For you see, He hears and answers prayer."  Kenneth E.
