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).
