PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST

Jude 1:20-21 (KJV)
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
There are things deep in our spirit needing to connect with Father God. We may not have words for these things, nonetheless, they are there. Disconnected before we connect means we have to learn how to connect.
We come into this world knowing nothing with the ability to know all things. “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” (Job 32:8). This ability (inspiration) comes from God; it is a God given ability lying inside us waiting to be cultivated.  “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things” (1 John 2:20).
Since we were in God’s mind before the world began there is an essence of God in all of us. Without the blood of Christ applied to our hearts and mind that part of us is dormant, dead, and pressed down (spiritually dead). We somehow have learned how to suppress it or ignore it. Connecting is as easy as laughter, crying, smiling, hurting, and breathing; it is a natural God given tendency longing to be released.
There is no better way to connect than praying in the Holy Ghost. The Scripture tells us God is a Spirit and God is Love, Spirit + Love = Holy Ghost; therefore, the Holy Ghost is pure Love. This is why praying in the Holy Ghost keeps us in the Love of God.
He is our comforter, counselor, guide, and teacher. The Love of God comforts us, counsels us, informs us, and teaches us. He is our “paraklētos,” one who walks beside us. Being baptized in Him is being baptized in love.
Praying in the Holy Ghost is God’s way of saturating us in and with His Love. If you have not had a dose lately, it is time to get a dose of the Ghost. The Spirit of God is longing to be released in us that He may bring to life things that have been dead in us since birth.  Submit to the prayer life of the Spirit and you will find your faith stronger and surer than ever. In doing this we will connect with our spiritual heritage found in the New Testament patriarchs of faith.
