Filled Under:

The two levels of prayer

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also

-1 Corintians 14:15

When reading the bible in the first letter to the corintians Chapter 14:15 , The Apostle Paul makes an interesting statement about his prayer he mentions the importance of living a spiritual life as reveals that we are to pray by the spirit first and then after we have to pray then with the understand meaning that whenever we go before God we must be lead by the spirit and then the understanding may come after.

The level of the Spirit is the greatest level of prayer , it is the greatest level of the ministry, the spirit must always stand be the first. When reading collosians chapter 2:20-21  it is made clear to the church that it must not be subject to the principles or the way things which the world live by but we must be made to follow the ways of the spirit first and there after we may consider the ways of the world . Even though you live in a physical world you not live by their principles but in all things live by the principles of the spirit of God , A christain must live by the spirit and should follow the ways of God and pray through the spirit.

Dont act like you are still of this world but you must be a victor , a success just as it is by the plan of God which is to prosper us. You must live by the spirit and follow the perfect will of God in your lives.
