THE HOLYSPIRIT AND PRAYER

The Holy Spirit and Prayer

Anchor Scriptures: Gen 1:1,2, Isaiah 32: 12-18, Isaiah 44:1-5, Isaiah 64:4, Joel 2: 23-28, Romans 8: 1-30,1 Corinthians 2: 9-13, Galatians 4:19, Ephesians 6: 18, 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-25

The first sentence in the scriptures says ‘In the beginning God … (Genesis 1 vs. 1)’ and the truth remains for every perfect establishment of anything, any emergence of a new revival in the lives of Christians everything must begin with God. In Ephesians 4: 13, Paul the Apostle to the gentiles made us by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that God is at work in us both in thought and in our action according to his good pleasures (emphasis by me). As Christians we must realize that no matter what God wants to on earth, scriptures made us to know from several witnesses that it also begins with the Holy Spirit. The earth was empty, there was darkness all over but until the Holy Spirit brooded over the face of the earth just like how planes moves over the earth during investigation creation work never began. Immediately after The Holy Spirit moved over the face of the deep waters God commanded light upon the Earth (Genesis 1: 1-3).  

GRACE AND GLORY (CONTINUE)

THE GOD GRACE UPON NOAH (Gen. 6 vs. 8)

Any bible scholar won’t deny the fact that Noah was a peculiar man in his generation, Noah was a man born out of prophecy. The world as of that time was under a greater sense of God’s judgement for the disobedience of Adam and Eve, the curse God put upon them was greatly at work also upon the earth. For a better background of this study let us look at the verses containing the event of Adam’s disobedience and the judgment of God on them in Genesis 3 vs. 1- 24

GRACE AND GLORY

The two words (grace and glory) are very essential word in the lives of every Christian, it is very important that everyone who is named by Jesus receive the revelation knowledge of this word because they are the two attributes of the Messiah. John the apostle said in his gospel (that is John 1 vs. 14), it says

” And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

For us to get a better understanding and establish the truth about these attributes of Jesus we have to look through the Holy Scriptures because Christ said

” Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” (John 5 vs. 39)

In this study we will take the subjects one after the other, starting first with the word grace and then glory (although the two words might be interconnected at each stage of exposition)
