JOHN 16:13
The Holy Spirit it’s not just a Pentecostal idea, it’s not a denomination’s idea it is true that outside of the Holy Spirit we are not worth much in ourselves; it is the Holy Spirit that adds the weightiness and makes for our relevance and it’s important that we understand that outside of the Holy Spirit the believer is not worth much. You must be guided for truth to profit you; just because there is truth does not mean you will profit from it, you must be guided.
REASONS WHY WE MUST PRAY:
a). Because God gave man a will; there are seven fundamental things God gave man not a believer, ‘man’ as the zenith of his creation one of it is the power to choose.(Deuteronomy 11:26): God cannot assume that you need his assistance, God cannot assume that you need help, God cannot assume that you need the intervention of heaven you must verbalize your request, you must verbalize your need, you invite God to your life on legal basis even salvation is not imparted outside of your will. He loves you and he’s made the way but he will allow your desire and your hunger to call upon him, the Lord is nigh them that call upon him not them that need him, them that call upon him are we together please? So the fact that God gave man a will he is ever respectful of that will. I can choose to ignore God, I can choose as an act of my volition that Lord am not interested in your program for my life and he will honor it at the expense of the eternal destiny of many God still allows them to declare their need for him. There are people going to hell every day in spite of the fact that the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ is a done deal. Prayer is important, your priesthood is important because it is the system that out sources strength from a dimension that is not earthly.
b). Prayer is the highest proof of humility because its proof that you acknowledge you’re incapacitated in yourself, prayerlessness is pride. When people are prayer less it is because they have found a way to flatter themselves into believing that outside of God they are still sufficient. (2 Corinthians 3:5). When I go to God in prayer it’s a declaration of humility, its proof that I need him, its proof that I am not trivializing his relevance in my life.
c). prayer is a spiritual system of transporting realities from the realm of the spirit to this realm it’s a dominion system, it’s a system of spiritual legislature.
