BIBLE TEXT: 7 Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Do not turn your back on me.
I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I might live a life pleasing to you. I want my life to bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. I am empty and I need to be filled.
The Holy Spirit -- your Source of power for living -- is "included" when you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Therefore, you do not need to invite Him to come into your life. He did this when you became a Christian, and Jesus promised that He will never leave you.
Put Him in Remembrance It means that as a covenant believer, you can stand before the throne of God when you pray and remind Him of His promises. You can lay your case legally before Him and plead your case as a lawyer would plead his case before a judge.
Asking God for Help This peace is a gift, but you must seek it. God is waiting for you to pray. 2. When asking God for help, God already knows everything about you. 3. God listens to your words but wants your heart. 4. God will help you pray. 5. Remember who God is. 6. He wants you to pray again and again. 7.
God wants to “pour out his Spirit on all flesh” (Joel ). That has been his plan since the beginning and it is his will for us today. We can ignore or resist God's offer to fill us with his Holy Spirit, or we can ask the Father to fill us with the gift of the Holy Spirit (Luke ).
It is God's will that you be filled with His Spirit. And because it is His will, you can be sure He will fill you when you ask Him to do so. First John -15 says, “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything ing to his will he hears us.
The Holy Spirit is God and can be addressed directly in prayer. There is nothing sinful or wrong about doing that, nor does the Bible forbid it. However, as we study the Holy Spirit's role in prayer it becomes clear that addressing the Holy Spirit directly is not the primary way the Bible teaches us to pray.
What is Pleading? Pleading with God is that part of prayer (a subset of supplication) in which we argue our case with God, as Isaac Watts wonderfully says, “in a fervent yet humble manner.” It is not just petition, but petition well-reasoned. It is not just requesting, but passionately appealing.
The book of Isaiah, chapter (NKJV), says “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” God urges us to put Him in remembrance and engage in a dialogue.
