Pray!

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I help you in your weaknesses. I, Myself make intercession for you with groanings which cannot be uttered. I make intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26-27.) I pray on your behalf. I also want you to live a life of prayer. Prayer is simply communicating with Us. You can pray about anything and everything. The apostle Paul wrote, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6.)

I want to show you from the scriptures the power of prayer. Abraham prayed to Us, and We healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. (Genesis 20:17.) Moses prayed that We would pardon the iniquity of the Israelites because of their rebellion and sin. We pardoned the Israel's sin because of Moses' prayer. (Numbers 14:19-20.) The early church continued with one accord in prayer and supplication. (Acts 1:14.) This resulted in them being filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-4.) Jesus spent all night in prayer before He chose His twelve disciples. (Luke 6:12-13.) Your prayers are like incense that ascend before Us. (Revelation 8:4.) Pray!


Romans 8:26-27
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Philippians 4:6
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Genesis 20:17
17 So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;

Numbers 14:19-20
19 Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

20 Then the Lord said: “I have pardoned, according to your word;

Acts 1:14
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

Acts 2:1-4
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.  4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Luke 6:12-13
12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

Revelation 8:4
4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.
