He Has You

A natural prayer is spoken from a natural foundation. It looks at the natural staring them in the face and considers the outcome will be what happens naturally. It is a prayer grounded on earth with no wings with which to get to heaven.

You cannot ascend spiritually with natural strength. “…We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives” (Colossians 1:9 NIV).

Many Christians pray flat prayers with no trajectory by which to get to heaven. They may sound good to men but don’t have two cents of the Holy Spirit’s power within them. They may pray for a miracle, but if they were honest, they don’t really expect one to happen.

You can only pray in the Spirit if first the Spirit is in you. Once you are filled with the Holy Spirit, your life will never be the same. God promised, “I will put my Spirit inside you…” (Ezekiel 36:27 ICB).

Spiritual prayers come from that soul who is filled with the Spirit of God. It looks at the natural staring them in the face and points to heaven to their God with whom nothing is impossible. It is a prayer that rises to the throne room of heaven.

Don’t let prayer be your last resort. “Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all of God’s people” (Ephesians 6:18 ERV).

Spiritual prayers pour out from a spiritual life that allows the Holy Spirit to reign within them. It is not how spiritual you are that matters but your willingness to let the Spirit of God work through you. Believing more trusts more in all that God can do.

Even when we have no words, God still hears us. “And in the same way—by our faith—the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words” (Romans 8:26 TLB).

Spiritual prayer warriors do not rely on man’s oratory skills or the eloquence of the words that are spoken. Rather, they rely solely on the Spirit of God moving within them as they pray to God, and the Spirit of God leads them in all they should say.

Don’t wait to be inspired; pray to be inspired. Paul said, “…Pray in the Spirit  in every situation…Also pray that God will give me the right words to say…” (Ephesians 6:18-19 GW).

Spiritual prayers emanate from spiritual souls. You must first walk in a spiritual life before you kneel with spiritual prayers. Becoming spiritual is not a higher level than your natural life; it is a replacement for your natural life.

Prayer is our spirit breathing heaven. “Pray constantly” (1 Thessalonians 5:17 RSV).

Spiritual truth cannot be understood by natural means because it is in a different realm altogether. Your natural intelligence has no advantage in the spiritual realm but is often a disadvantage in even getting there.

So long as you rely solely upon man, the Spirit of God cannot help you. “These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches… But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:13-14).

Spiritual prayers don’t operate within natural boundaries and have no limits as we know natural limits on Earth. A spiritual prayer reaches the warehouses of heaven where the stockpile of miracles never runs out.

When you’re operating in the divine, you’re not limited by the natural. “Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21 AMP).

One cannot learn to pray spiritually but only surrender to God to become spiritual, after which the result will be they pray spiritually. Your spiritual life is what the Holy Spirit will give you once you give your life to God.

It’s one thing to have the Holy Spirit inside of you, but something quite different to be surrendered to Him so that He would reign in you. “The true children of God are those who let God’s Spirit lead them” (Romans 8:14 ERV).

Spiritual prayers are the most powerful prayers, for they are founded on the Spirit of God. These prayers have angelic wings by which they get to heaven, and then the breath of God carries the answer back down to earth.

Spiritual productivity is found in prayer. Jesus taught, “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” (Matthew 21:22).

If you’re looking to have a one-time powerful prayer, you can forget about that. God isn’t looking for half-baked weekend prayer warriors but for that man or woman of God willing to make their life a prayer. Prayer isn’t about getting things but about getting God.

When your life is a prayer, the Lord will always be near you. “Make your life a prayer” (1 Thessalonians 5:17 TPT).

The reason so few grow spiritually is that so few are willing to die to their natural self. They are not willing to surrender to God the right to themselves, so it is themselves that God turns them over to. Give yourself to God, and He will give Himself to you. There is no better offer you could hope for.

Your best life is Christ’s life reigning in you. “I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me” (Galatians 2:20 AMP).

Blessings to you always,
