Prayer is more than words, for it is mightiest when wordless. It is more than asking, for it reaches its highest glory when it adores and asks nothing. (Google image, Woman praying)
When a child entered his father's study and walked up to him at his desk, the father turned and asked, "What do you want, Sonnie?" The little chap answered, "Nothing, Daddy, I just came to be with you."
This mystery of the Spirit is the key to other mysteries. The secret of the Lord is made manifest to those who pray in the fellowship of the Spirit. There are stages of prayer.
In one stage we pray and ask Him to help. There is a more wonderful way in which He prays and we assent, and His praying is ours. He makes intercession within the temple of our hearts, and our Lord ever lives to make intercession for us at the right hand of the Father.
The Spirit within our spirit prays, working in us to will and to do the will and good pleasure of our Father who is in heaven. He is God's Spirit representing Him and the Son; the three being one God.
He is the power that worketh in us. He it is that unifies hearts in prayer and makes them an irresistible unity in intercession. The assurance of answered prayer comes from Him, and He it is that makes prayer the mightiest force in the universe of God.
The secret of it all is in Him. The power of it all is by Him. The joy of it all is with Him. The biggest thing God ever did for me was to teach me to pray in the Spirit.
Therefore, Lord, teach us to pray in the Spirit!

Let's pray-
Father, the inner meaning of prayer is more that asking. We find that it is communion, fellowship, co-operation, identification with You and Jesus by Your Holy Spirit.
Help us learn that prayer is more than words, as it's mightiest effectiveness at times, is when there's no words spoken; we simply adore You for Who You are, and ask nothing.
As Your Holy Spirit intercedes within the temple of our hearts, Jesus makes intercession for us at Your right hand, and works in us to follow Your good pleasure.
Remind us that the power that works in us is Your Spirit, Who unifies our hearts in prayer intercession, making it the mightiest force in the universe of God.
The secret of it all is Your Spirit within us. The power of our praying is all by Him, and the joy of it all is with Him. The biggest thing You will ever do for each of us is to teach us to pray in the Spirit!

~ We are co-laborers with Christ and are to become entrenched in thinking of the values of an individual, family, or church and to release the reality of Christ in their world.

~ Oswald Chambers- "If our hopes seem to be experiencing disappointment right now, it simply means that they are being purified. Every hope or dream of the human mind will be fulfilled if it is noble and of God. But one of the greatest stresses in life is the stress of waiting for God. He brings fulfillment, “because you have kept My command to persevere . . . ” (Revelation 3:10).

The sermon ended by assuring us that although we live in an uncertain world today, one thing is for sure:
