• By far the greatest gift which our heavenly Father makes to His children in this life is the priceless gift of the presence of the Holy Spirit. This blessed member of the Trinity is the possession of every truly born-again child of God, and on the instant of conversion. Nor does He ever leave our hearts until the gates of heaven are reached.

 

• The importance of His aid in our prayer life is impossible of over estimation. He is just about everything we need to make our prayers successful. In the first place, He, as God, understand the deep things . . . mysteries of God. He is fully cognizant of the plan of God, and will graciously and quietly inspire our petitions to conform to that plan.

 

• Many times our prayers are so mixed up. We pray under the stress of trouble and difficulty. We may even pray for things that are foolish or hurtful. Some of the times our prayers resemble the greatest incoherent jumble. Surely, this is no way to address the God of the Universe. Ah, but there is the Spirit of God, who knows our hearts, and so fashions our prayers to make them presentable. What a wonderful, indescribably valuable service to Christians is this ministry of God’s Holy Spirit.

 

• He inspires our faith too. When we slip down into the slough of despondency, He reminds us of God’s love and Christ’s sacrifice. When we’re discouraged by the disappointing round of circumstances He lifts our eyes to heaven’s purer atmosphere. When our eyes are dim with tears He bids us to look at God’s smiling face above us. His ministry to the believer is priceless. His place in prayer is uniquely incomparable.

 

• How then can we adjust ourselves to utilize this wonderful Person in our prayer life? Let me whisper to you the secret. While every person has the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit does not have every Christian . . . that is, not all of him. God’s plan for true success in prayer is that believers should be “filled” with the Spirit. Who desires to be filled, the Holy Spirit will do just that. The results in prayer life will be simply amazing. Prayer will be easy, joyful, efficient, glorious!
