I think part of what it means to pray in the Spirit is to open ourselves up to the Spirit's help as we pray and to pray with an attitude of resting in God.

Praying in the spirit, going into our secret place, closing the door, and being in the presence of God. Letting Go and letting the Holy Spirit flow in words we cannot understand & also talking sentences we do understand. Trusting that God will hear us and answer our peayers. Amen 😊

Praying in the spirit is Praying in the WORD. Yeshua said My WORDS are Spirit and they are LIFE . John 6: 63😊

Sometimes I am in a lost for words but my Spirit will pray for me. The Holy Spirit moving through me.

I agree with John Piper that the references to praying in the Spirit in Eph 6:18 and Jude 1:20 are not specifically about praying in tongues, although prayer in tongues would be a kind of praying in the Spirit.

Thank you Holy Spirit for your guidance. 🙌✝️💜

🙏 Thank you Holy spirit for your Guidance amen 🙏❤👑🙀✨❤️🙌👏🙏

It’s amazing to consider all the ways that the Spirit is working in ones heart and life. I’ll bet there are many times where something we did or didn’t do was His Spirits work and we never even thought of it.

Glory be to the Father the to Son and to the Holy Spirit,as it was in the beginning is now,and ever shall be.Amen.

When I say that this few minutes brought so much clarification for me……… I mean that whole heartedly………I thank you and I appreciate it

Pray for my son who has excepted the Lord, now is on his death bed. He has a son and daughter that need the Lord but refused to talk about it.

We often make things more complicated than what they really are when it comes to Biblical things. Praying in the Spirit is probably just the opposite of praying in the flesh, or from the flesh..

The spirit of God is supplied to us, that we pray in the spirit.

We pray in the Spirit when we pray according to the truth he reveals, in awareness of the privileges he grants and with the strength he supplies.~~~ Kevin DeYoung

Praise The Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah Amen

I agree with pastor John compltey but also believe in the power and guidance of Spirit through prayer in heavenly tongue.

I have been looking everywhere for someone to direct me on what it means to pray in the spirit. Makes me rethink a lot of prayers. Will put this into practice more and more.

Christ lives in us Amen 🙌 I trust Jusus 🙌✨ Amen 🙌✨

This was a blessing to me. Thank you John

Those are beautiful explanations of how the Holy Spirit helps us to pray and intercedes for us through our wordless groans.

Most of the time I disagree with John especially on his treatise of the kingdom and salvation of the spirit, soul, and body, but I was blessed and learned from this video and certainly agree with this teaching and the fruit of it. Thx

This is such a comfort!

Thank you, Teacher and Pastor John, for your anointed and solid, as well as Scriptural and gracious teaching. I believe, Brother John, that in the body of Christ, you have been given to the church of Christ as, first, a Teacher and then a Pastor; because I can discern that you have a vocation from God - a calling and you have been equipped to be, and anointed a Teacher, first, and then a Pastor; because your teaching is godly and deep; this is in accordance with the 5-Fold ministry or Offices written in Ephesians 4:11-15, "11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." NIV Bible.

I received alot of for my spiritual strenght as well as my physical sthrenght.Thanks alot for sharing to pray with the Holy Spirit through our living Bible words .🙏

Thank you, Pastor John for bringing clarity to this topic of praying in the spirit. From the outset you let us know what it does NOT mean and that helped set the stage for further understanding 🙌.

I like listening to John Piper pastor John is anointed

Praise the lord...I thank God for you,,,you are a good teacher...

Powerful Man of God 💥💥🙏

Thank you, this really helped 😀,may God continue to use you and keep you

Thank you God.

Exactly what I’ve been asking. Thank you

Praying in the Spirit is praying as the Bible teaches us to pray. It is to pray God's will for our lives as well as the fruit of the Spirit. It is to pray with right attitude of God's love. Praying in the Spirit is also praying in tongues.

You are great,this is the most difficult subject to teach but thank God you clarified it clearly.

With sober judgment

"For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit...For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful...I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you." 01 Corinthians 14:2, 14, 18 ESV

Very hard thing to try an break down. Interesting and good video Thank you

The word the word speak like when you text on your phone but within your heart ❤️ written in your heart God is the word he wrote to you and you can write right back righteousness start on paper like a little child he knows what you ask before ye ask and pray always God is with us amen Nazareth Murphy USA

Thank you Pastor John 🙏

I always thought I meant focusing in God's Word and speaking it when you pray

Pray that God shows me how to pray

Amen 😊

Thank you

This was Wonderful And very well laid out.

THis is great, thank yal for sharing these videos

Praying in the spirit is speaking in "tongues" which is one spiritual language. Speaking in " tongues" occurs as the result of the Holy Spirit baptism which is how the Holy Spirit is recieved.

Furthermore we must recognise that it is not ‘the Spirit “ but accurately God Holy Spirit. He is God. He is creator. He is All in All God. He is the fullness of God. Jehovah. Almighty God! Spiritual accuracy is warranted in the Body of Christ. 🙏🏾

K but prayers that are fully guided by the spirit is literally what praying in tongues is. They are indeed the same thing

Thank you I also for that message I don't think praying in the spirit just speaking in tongues I tried it years ago and every time I did it sickness came upon me and my husband canceled five times I put that down 20 years ago with the prosperity teaches never again I've been in doing that it's really hurt my heart that I thought I was doing right but I was wrong thank you for your ministry I joined it

Thank you for this enlightening message

I agree that we don’t have to pray in tongues to pray in the spirit. I believe praying in the spirit is just spirit led prayer. I think as believers when we pray, we assume our prayers are effective just bc we are praying. But sometimes we pray soulish prayers and are not praying accordingly to the will of God. Those prayers are virtually useless. But if we pray led by the Spirit, we are praying accordingly to his will and according to what is needed at that moment, our prayers are therefore heard and answered. Praying in tongues is obviously spirit led prayer but everyone doesn’t pray in tongues and you don’t have to to pray effective prayers. Your prayers just have to be with the Spirits assistance and not in your flesh.

Amen and Amen

Thanks for the explanation 👍 it was helpful,

Notice Eph 6:17-18 "17sword of the spirit the word of God" "18praying always ... in the spirit". I take this to mean take up the word of God in our prayers is praying in the Spirit, or to put it another way, to pray the word of God is praying in the Spirit.

Praying is always out of the spirit

Amen

Amen 🙏

We must pray in the Spirit

My Bible says… when I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays but my understanding is unfruitful. So it is tongues. Why do so many people resist this?

Another helpful and clarifying message from JP. Some false teachers twist this meaning.

AMEIN Thank You 🙏

Thanks for this msg . I had been seeking answer bc a few ppl had been recommending To “ pray in the spirit” and i asked how can I if Lord hasn’t loosed my tongues yet? I thought I was raised to pray the Lord’s Prayer when I didn’t know what to pray. This msg and a few of the comments helps with clarification. Thank you

Prays in the Spirit is to let the Holy Spirit pray. We are to yield to the Holy Spirit and pray according to the God's will. In other words, pray in the Spirit is to pray in tongues for those who speak in tongues with our mind is unfruitful. For those who don't speak in tongue we have to pray what the Holy Spirit asks you to pray.

AMENNNNN THANK YOU LORD JESUS ❤️🙏🫶🙏🙏🙏🫶

Thank you!

Can you pray for my grey jackapoo dog mushy he’s on a life support ventilator - wear referrals , County Durham - in Jesus name we ask he is healed - ThankYou

Amen🙏🙏🙏

Praying in the Spirit means praying his Word back to him. His Word is Spirit and it is Life. Living and active and he is ready to perform his Word. Its not gibberish (Tongues.) Nor is it Soulish Praying. (This is what I want) It has to line up with his Will and his Will is His Word. The Spirit and The Word work together.

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 HOW ABOUT THIS VERSE ???Anybody could explain this verse please??thank u

... Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV ....and so in agreement: "The Holy Spirit is God Himself, like the Father and like the Son. liberty: The Spirit gives us freedom from sin, death, and the condemnation of the law (2 Corinthians 3:7-12).

Amen 🙏🏽

Can someone please pray that I would get the baptism of the Holy Spirit and my prayer language?

You CAN pray in tongues and groan vocally all times to God by the help of the Holy Spirit. 1CORINTHIANS 14;1-2. It is our Spiritman that prays. Follow the Word of God as per Apostle Paul if you still believe him.

Thanks so much for this .. I have a question though in 1 Corinthians 14:13-19 "3 For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. 16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,[d] say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue." it seems here that "in the Spirit" in this context refers to tongues ... i wonder if anyone else has a different take on this..

Holy Spirit guides me to pray unceasingly.

Wow ! It is so great

How can I pray in spirit and how may I know that I'm praying in spirit

Amen. Spot on. I wish I could leave it at that, but what do we do in regard to our own evangelism with the countless others who proclaim or are convinced to be of the spirit but their works prove otherwise? Nothing seems to lead them to repentance because they already feel righteous in their own eyes. How do we, through Christ, save these souls?

Did he answer the question? It's almost like he answered it in a way to satisfy Pentecostals. We hunger and thirst for righteousness - not ours but God's. The Holy Spirit is a person of the Godhead that is One, . Pray according to his will. That we may be one with the father John 17:21 You have to know His will to pray His will. Our father who is in Heaven.., your will be done.

Our prayers are moved and guide by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit intercedes for us, with groanings too deep for words.

We cannot pray any other way than in the Spirit

Great video

Amazing explaining everything but deflecting the truth that praying in tongues is praying in the Spirit is so foolish. If praying in tongues is pray as the Spirit enables as Paul said “as the Spirit gave them utterance”. Why not point your listeners to seek God to give you the utterance in tongues? I don’t dispute you can pray in the Spirit in known tongue, but HolySpirit’s gift of tongues are so needed in these perilous times because so many believers are just so lost in the woke western world as to how to pray….

JESUS CHRIST IS COMING. RAPTURE IS NEAR🌈 REPENT FROM YOUR SINS. JUDGEMENT IS UPON US. DON'T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!!!!!

Pastor John can you please elaborate and enlightened me on this verse also concerning about praying in spirit; JOHN 4: 24

When I pray I'm being sincere but am I only praying with my mind . Because I want to know God better Jesus and I want to know that when I'm praying that I'm praying with my whole body my whole mind my whole soul my own heart whole heart how do you know for sure if I'm you're praying the right way or if there is no right way or wrong way to pray just a question is quite important to me thank you
