Praying out our Future
Devotions:
“You have crowned the year with Your bounty, And Your paths drip with fatness.”
Psalms 65:11 NASB
So we are to walk in the anointing and the path that God has prepared for us is an anointed path. How do we know what path God has set for us? Is it through open doors? Is it through circumstances being favorable? No!
“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God.” Romans 8:14-16 AMP
“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.” Acts 2:4 NASB
As we pray in the Spirit and God gives us the interpretation we are praying out the plan that God has for our lives so we can know the path that He has for us. When we take time to pray in the spirit we should have in mind that we are praying out our future. We pray through troubles that are ahead of us and pray around the roadblocks that the enemy has for us before we get there. “but just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-14 NASB
