Abstract
This is an in depth theological research based in the truth in Holy Bible, to respond many discussions and debates among theologians about ‘Praying and speaking (Glosotalia) in Holy Spirit based on Ephesians 6:18. Based on Christian’s faith, prayer is not a mere spiritual activity which takes place as time allows. Prayer is also not a necessary only whenever an urgent need occurs and otherwise deemed unnecessary. Prayer is also not a routine activity without spiritual values. Prayer is an important element in the life of a believer’s faith. John Hesselink said, “One of the most important aspects of the life of the faith is prayer.”The command to prayer was given explicitly in the New Testament, in Ephesians 6:18 and Jude 1:20. What does the Holy Bible mean by praying in Holy Spirit? Why does the Holy Bible encourage God’s people to pray in Holy Spirit? Is praying in Holy Spirit simply another specific ritual to pray? Or, is it true that praying in Holy Spirit also means praying with tongues (Glosolalia)? Christians need to always pray in the Holy Spirit (Eph 6:18; Jude 1:20). By the help of Holy Spirit, he is enabled to invoke a prayer that is acceptable in God’s will. This is the difference between prayer of the righteous and prayer of the wicked: the righteous pray in the Holy Spirit, centered to God and for God’s glory while the prayer of the wicked is based on their own will and lust, self-centered and for self-glory. By praying more in tongues (Glosolalia) and led by the Holy Spirit, then our prayer and faith shall be in accordance with God’s will and be perfect (Rom 8:26).
