Prayers Of The Spirit: What Are The Prayers Of The Spirit?
Study The Word
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
When we talk about Prayers Of The Spirit, “what does it actually mean?”, you say. Now, prayers of the Spirit specifically refer to the prayer points that were inspired by the Holy Spirit and where written for us as a part of the epistles that were given to the church by the Apostles by inspiration of God. You’ll find these as prayers or prayer points that the Apostles wrote as prayers for the church, the body of Christ.
These prayers were not the desires of the Apostles as some people would think but actually prayers that were written by inspiration that the Apostles received from God.
θεόπνευστος theopneustos inspiration of God – God-breathed, divinely given, breathed out by God, given out by God
This informs us that the prayers that the Apostles wrote for us in scripture actually were from God hence we here at WhatTheWordSays refer to them as The Prayers of the Spirit which is short for The Prayers of the Holy Spirit. In other words these are the intercessory prayers of the Holy Spirit for the body of Christ through the Apostles revealing and expressing the manifestation of God’s perfect will for us.
Romans 8:27 says And He that searcheth the hearts knows what is the mind of the [Holy] Spirit, because He [the Holy Spirit] makes intercession for the saints according to the will [the Word] of God.
Therefore these Prayers of the Spirit that we have written for us by the apostles in scripture could be the interpretations of the groanings which can not be uttered of the Apostles for the church, at which point they in-turn wrote them to the churches. These prayers reveal to us the perfect will of God for every child of God.
By knowledge of this a child of God no longer has to be confused or wonder what God’s perfect will for their life is. That search comes to an end. And not only will the child of God have knowledge of God’s will for their life but also they are given to us as prayers that one can pray – this perfect will of God over our lives and begin to walk in absolute fulfilment as sons of God.
These prayers of the Spirit are critical for the child of God’s spiritual development. They reveal to us the will or the Word that God wants to be expressed and manifested in and through us in these last days.
These are the prayer points that prepare every child of God for the rapture, and the second appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. I myself have been praying these over my life for years, and I also used them for my intercessions for the saints that the Lord asked me to pray for over the years. I still pray these today, and what a glorious blessing they have been.
We have for you a compilation of all of the Prayers Of The Holy Spirit on this platform titled 15 Days Of Prayers Of The Holy Spirit that you can use as prayer points for your personal growth and also, especially if you are a Pastor or minister of the gospel overseeing or leading a church, you ought to pray these in intercession for your members. These should be compulsory prayers that you pray for all your members because these prayers are God’s desire and God’s perfect will for His people regarding their personal growth which you have become partly responsible for. It comes with the priestly responsibility of your office.
