That's kind of you to share, Jordon sir. I don't know anything much about the Celtic languages. Maybe you could share a phrase with me that you remember?was he a Scottish brave heart my family has Celtic roots to Ireland and Scotland, I'm from the port of Saint David's Wales
there all different really Irish Scottish and Welsh, I never grew up with the Welsh language, apart from knowing phygodyn a sglodions fish and chips
That's the point, when praying in the spirit we have no clue what we are praying.
Why??? Because it's the spirit praying through us.
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
Just planting seeds.

Have... The seal of baptism? Or favor with the Holy Spirit? Those are kind of elastic in relation to each other.

You don't "hit the bullseye", the arrow lands there when you're focused.
I recently listened to an older pastor, very old. He spoke of his initial studies, training, and seminary education. When asked would he recommend that course to others he said he would not recommend seminaries, but instead reading Scripture and praying, to bring scripture into one’s heart. Too much study can have a negative effect.

So there are ways we as members of the Body of Christ can have spiritual gifts, like knowing how to talk or to make music pleasing to His ear
love is really silent, and really its in silence true love talks to you in spirit , I guess I'm saying we can talk to each other just in eye contact alone, as the eyes are the gateway to the soul
JESUS says in,
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
After we are filled we all get different gifts which make up the whole body.
The sign of being filled with the HS is love, which includes admitting one’s faults and forgiving others theirs (Matt. 6:12//Luke 11:4 a) [TOJ #36, cf. TOJ #14]. Genuine saving Faith is manifested by the fruit of the HS, especially loving forgiveness or a concern for spiritual unity. Confession is the key to having a right relationship with God (1John 1:9) or being Spirit-filled, which is manifested by mercy (TOJ #148). {Mark 11:25. Matt. 18:15-17}.
When we pray for power to resist temptations (Matt. 6:13//Luke 11:4 b) [TOJ #37], we receive empowerment via the HS. Jesus reiterated this teaching on the Mount of Olives before He was betrayed. {Matt. 27:41//Mark 14:38//Luke 22:40 & 46} We know that God will always grant this prayer request (1Cor. 10:13). This prayer seems equivalent to protection from the evil one {John 17:15}. This also was a major theme of James (Jam. 4:2, 1:5 & 12-13) and of Paul (Eph. 1:17-19, Phil. 1:9-11, Col. 1:10-12).
Paul associated prayer with the HS in Eph. 3:16-19, saying “may God strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and that you being rooted and established in love may have power and… be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” In 1Cor. 2:4-16 Paul associated the HS with God’s wisdom and the mind of Christ (cf. Col. 1:9b).
Salt and light; love and truth.
I just wonder if you recognise prayer is also about our adoration for God and not just about asking for things to be changed in our life, well you may ask since God is sovereign and he knows all things then why did we need to pray, well the reason for that is, because God knows all things he can change all things.
The prayer from the psalmist in Psalms 92 doesn't ask God for anything. So the prayer here is because our Sovereign God deserves adoration and gratitude, our prayer is a Christian duty. And we are commanded to pray, and we owe him our obedience. Thats the key to understanding God, we owe God our obedience.
Yes, and our obedience is not onerous, because it is elicited by His love (Matt. 11:28-30).
Thus we are happy to align our will with God's Word (Psa. 119:41-48).
That's what I thought while reading page 1 &2 of this thread. It seems to me that what's being talked about is cultivating a relationship with the Lord, and that's how you do it! Focus.
I think most married Christians don't even love the Lord as much they do their wife. Spending time together cultivates love in a relationship. It's necessary to prioritize our love for the Lord by demonstrating our love for Him with worship and presence with Him.
We all know what happens when we keep spending time with the girl attraction grows and affection always creates sacrificial situations which will cost you but is regarded as nothing. because of who it was for. Sacrificial love is necessary because it allows heart to heart communication which deepens relationship.
Maybe some guys are scared that cultivating more love for the Lord than their wife will prolly ruin things with the wife? Not So! Because the Lord's love is an all encompassing love. You either have peace in your spirit or you don't. Pretty simple really.
