In today's post we will be doing a little heart-to-heart talk on The Influence of Our Praying on Our Soul. I pray as you read through this post, the Lord expound on this truth. Amen.

Prayer does not thrive on our energy bodily. It thrives on a spiritual energy supplied by God. Our praying however begins with our spirit, then flows into our mind to direct it through our emotions into our will.
As such, prayer influences our total soulish nature. This is one reason why prayer is so important to the individual who is doing the praying.
When we are born again and learn to live in the Spirit, the indwelling Spirit of God has access through our regenerated human spirit into our mind and will, thus affecting our entire being.

Praying in the Spirit, then, indicates that the words that flow from our lips come from our Spirit dominated and directed human spirit, and not entirely from our mind. So, with this we see the importance of learning to pray in the Spirit.
Since we are praying as directed by the Holy Spirit (see Rom. 8:26), we are hooked into the source of all power, the almighty God Himself.
"...The Spirit Himself makes the inarticulate groaning of our heart, which cannot be uttered, articulate utterances before God—the Father." When the spirit and the soul are under the control of the Holy Spirit, the body will also come into line. This means that the body's five senses will act in accordance with the desires of the Holy Spirit.This results in victorious living, which, in turn, results in powerful effective praying. When one reaches this place in his spiritual growth, his feet will go where the Spirit directs; his hands will do what the Spirit desires; and his lips will speak only words that will glorify the living God.
Prayer is an infinitely more effective energy source than the sun. It is the key to the greatest supply of untapped power in the universe.
Acts 4:31a"...and when the Apostles had prayed, the place in which they pray shook (as if it were an earthquake)", emphasis mine.
Revival thrives on the move of the word of the Word of God along side huge investment in prayer. By praying we set the power of God into motion. Let's see James 5:16"...the prayer of a righteous man make tremendous power, dynamic in its working, available."
The scope of our praying is as limitless as the name of Jesus and as powerful as the one to whom we are praying. We pray to the Father, through Jesus—the Son, by His Spirit.I pray God expound on this truth to us and cause us to shine as lights that we are in this dark world. Amen.
Shalom!
