Why should we Pray in the Spirit?

   The Plan of Salvation

of our Almighty only Almighty 

YHVH-יחוח-YEHOVAH Creator

of the heavens and the earth

Paul, Jesus Christ' apostle  wrote in his letter to Ephesians,

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, exhort you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you were called.  With all humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another in love,  be eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.  There is one body and one Spirit, even as you were called in one hope of your calling,  one Lord, one faith, one baptism,  one Almighty YHVH-YEHOVAH God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of the gift of Christ. ⁸ Therefore He says:

“When He ascended on high,
    He led captivity captive,
    and gave gifts to men”

(Psalms 68:18)

 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?  He who descended is also He who ascended far above all the heavens that He might fill all things.)

He gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers,  for the equipping of the saints, for the work of service, and for the building up of the body of Christ Jesus,  until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of Almighty YHVH-YEHOVAH God, into a complete man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Messiah/Christ,

So we may no longer be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men, by craftiness with deceitful scheming.  But, speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, Jesus Christ Himself,  from whom the whole body is joined together and connected by every joint and ligament, as every part effectively does its work and grows, building itself up in love.

Ephesians 4:1-16
