1157 Words5 Pages

What does it mean to pray in the spirit? We are told by Apostle Paul, that praying in the spirit is communicating with God in another language. It’s a language that we do not know in our mind and cannot comprehend, but God understands. This is a language given to us by God when we receive the Holy Spirit. We cannot understand it unless God gives us an interpretation of what was communicated between our spirit and himself. Praying in the spirit is important to a Christians because it enables our spirit man to communicate with God where the devil cannot understand. Praying in the spirit can also be used to endow an individual with the power of God to go out and do the will of the Father.

All you must do is open your heart to receive the Holy Spirit and then you will be a part of this supernatural life of the Spirit. The power of the spirit can be felt, seen, and heard. “having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, WHICH YE NOW SEE AND HEAR” (Acts 2:33). The power of praying in the spirit amplifies everything you are and everything God has created you to be. Miracles are the supernatural demonstration of the sheer power of God. God has the power to heal people from any ailment, the spirit can lift people up, he can take all pain and hurt, and will fill peoples’ souls with joy and peace. You don’t have to be like Jacob who wrestled with God to receive the power of the spirit, all you must do is accept Jesus into your heart and the Holy Spirit will endow you with power. That power is a power that can be seen, heard and felt and God demonstrates it through his children and for his

    To understand or experience that spirit is to be truly alive. This spirit is what makes all things equal in the eyes of Mother Nature and what makes all things resemble God. True understanding of this concept cannot be done purely by intellect; “it must be experiential” as well in the form of “prayer, contemplation, and meditation.” Once action is taken to awake to this realization and “we become truly aware of our hearts, we feel comfort and release right away.” This must take place in order to become compassionate souls willing and able to produce real change for a better, happier existence for all transient beings.

  • Symbolism In Paul's Case

    849 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the opening scene of Paul’s Case, the author notes the vibrant, red carnation that Paul wears to his disciplinary meeting and the teacher’s distaste of what they believe the flower symbolizes referring to it as a, “scandalous red carnation” and how, “his whole attitude was symbolized by...his flippantly red carnation flower” (114). A defiant student, shown by his disrespect toward his teachers, Paul seems unfazed to the fact that he is in a disciplinary meeting and choses to act indifferent to what his teachers say about him. He is arrogant and holds himself to a higher status than his teachers thus causing him to feel entitled. The red carnation symbolizes his idealistic view of society in which he had hopes and dreams to elevate himself and achieve the higher status that he believes that he deserves. Paul’s world comes crumbling down though when he realizes that he could not pretend to be part of the world that he wanted to be in.

    Layers of illusions are burned away and all Paul has left is reality. In Willa Cather’s tragic short story “Paul’s Case: A Study in Temperament,” the flowers capture the reality world Paul departs from. For instance, critic Sherry Crabtree asserts that the red carnation symbolizes Paul’s alienation from the world of Cordelia Street (Crabtree 206). Crabtree observes the patterns of how the flowers reveal Paul’s negative outlook on life. On the other hand, some critics claim that the flowers capture the fantasy world Paul envisions.

    PERSPECTIVES ON SPIRIT BAPTISM The Reform position of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is possibly the most commonly held position in the American mid-west. Walter Kaiser is a brilliant theologian but very typical in his assessment of the Holy Spirit’s representation in the New Testament. Kaiser does a masterful job of presenting the theological and chronological exegesis of the Holy Spirit without jumping off the Calvinist cliff. He makes an excellent observation of seeing the Pauline letters as didactic and Lukan letters as narrative, but falls short of full scholarship by asserting that narrative passages could not be doctrinal in scope.

    Miracles are extremely difficult to prove as science cannot explain miracles. Another problem is that theists want miracles to happen, so they may lie about events that could be classed as miracles, some miracles are fake and made up by individuals that want fame and money for the event that they are said to have experienced. If the miracle is the curing of a disease, it may be that the doctors wrongly diagnosed an illness and the person was cured naturally. It is difficult to prove whether a revelation actually happened or not, especially special revelations. Special revelations occur to specific individuals or groups so they are therefore difficult to prove, scientific testing cannot prove whether a revelation actually occurred or not.

    One somewhat controversial topic that I had a few people ask me is baptizing the deceased. Baptisms where done for the decease during the time of Apostle Paul, and so the church reestablished it. This was done before and now can be done again, but only if the friends or family members of the deceased want it done. The misconception has been that the church would just go and do it without any permission, and then use it to add the number of people in their church. There are two records within the church though, one of the living, and the other of deceased so those numbers don 't get counted.
