Praying in the Spirit 2018 - Francis Chan 

I Love You Jesus I Love You Holy Spirit I Love You Father God Jesus is the LORD!

Every time I listen to him I am impressed by his sincerity and his reliance on the word of God and not just lovely words. Thank the Lord.

I have enjoyed listening Francis Chan for a while now. His willingness to speak lovingly and non-offensively on these topics that divide many has earned my deepest respect. Thank you Francis Chan. You have my attention.

All the glory to Christ Jesus!! 🙏

I too have been taught to be careful not to say things about others because I don’t know if our Lord is working in him or not. Our Lord have me pray for them instead of voicing n on the things I My brother it’s great that you’re asking for prayers. Humility is a requirement I believe when we follow God. From my experience with our God is to consistently asking God to help me to love him more deeply and to have the patience to wait for my gift. And even when I don’t get exactly how I pray I just know he gives me what’s good for me. I want nothing from him besides just wanting to be able to love him and be great full for all my blessing. I had my conversion 7 yrs ago and I want to share to others that’s the best thing I’ve ever receive. Even more so than my husband and my kids. He has enlightened me so much. The two best thing I receive from God is to learn about unconditional love and the peace I receive from God. God knows that you’re asking for prayers so I know as long as you keep holding on to him and seeking him you’ll be blessed!. We’re very weak and arrogant we must pray for everything and about everything!!!

so refreshing to see a man after God's own heart and teaches solid truth with no holding back.

Love Francis Chan! He moves me with his fervent, passionate and intense prayers to our Lord!!

So important to hear him speak as a leader. So many pastors are committing suicide. I can imaginge they might have gotten encouragement to hear a veteran speak honestly about the land mines set for Christian leaders.

Repentance, the entire BODY, BROKEN over the condition of the CHURCH. Deeply, weapingly❤Loving❤One Another, on One Accord.

Francis Chan's humility speaks with clarity of what the scripture is teaching us. Thank you Mr. Chan!

This guy is truly anointed I can clearly see that he is living this life not just talking it!! May the lord bless you Francis, I thank the lord he is using you. Am at my life where I seek for a relationship with Christ and this video is perfect!!, This is my first video watching his sermon, but seriously where was I ?😂

Hi Frances! Love your sermons. I alwayss feel a little guilty after listening. This one kind of made me sad. I always want to see best in people! All people are beautiful! Keep doing what your doing and helping sinners like me!😊😘😊

💧 great message, glory be to God 🙏🏼🎵🎶🎹

wow, what a powerful message. I needed this and I am sure so many other saints needed to hear this. God be glorified.

Such a great word for today. We truly need to keep alert and pray.

No one goes to the Father except they come through me said Jesus Christ to whom the Father gave all the Glory and Honor and power with thanksgiving and praise.

GOD is a SPIRIT and It is Your Spirits in Christ That were Praying to the LORD GODFATHER in Christ Being HIS Christians Children, and not the spirits of Your Temporal Flesh.Not All Times the LORD GODFATHER in Christ were Listening to Your Prayers Because HE Already Knows Your Eternal Needs Before You Pray.But Keep on Praying Everyday until You Became a Prayerful Souls in Christ Everyday and Prayers is Good to Your Eternal Souls in Christ.Listen to a Good Preachers Who Loves to Pray Because Your Souls in Christ Becomes One With His Prayers, and Then Goodness Rules in Your Thoughts in Christ.

Excellent teaching!

Just perfect this message..So much new in here.

Thank you for your teaching; the Spirit is giving you words of teaching and enlightenment.

Honest& refreshing. Glory to God.

Praise Our great God, learning much!🙏🙌💨

Thank you for the word

Love Francis honesty with his lack of prayers, cos many times we look up to these pastors and dont see they are mortals with daily struggles. In my mindset, I felt they had it figured out. But to see they struggle too is humbling for my calling

I love this srman

I've destroyed God's temple many times. Rebelled knowing He's Good and knowing experienced his holly spirit and I can say he's destroying me slowly he dossent hear me no more I ask and encourage each and every one of you to do God's will and just love him with all your Life and Obey Him. Its not a joke!

This was Awesome !! This message is so beneficial to Us!! GLORY BE TO GOD. 😘The King of Kings Lord of Lords Bless is all in Jesus Name.

That’s why all true believer must die to ourselves and allowing our Lord to lead us. Our Lord have been working in me to pray for others more than myself and my family one. He place in my heart that when I do his works he’ll take Wow, great informations! Thank you. Sound like our medical coverage here doesn’t cover in Vietnam. It would be nice to know if our medical coverage would cover when we see a doctor in the international clinic. of my family. And that I must trust that even when things look bad in my life.

Wow God I want more. I need moments like this in my private times with God. How can I get to this point. I will never want to leave my private times with God. Wow how awe

Loved the Rocky theme at 26:00 :D

What did i even learn about praying in the Spirit? I am confused.

Isn't this true, oh how wicked our hearts truly are!

Please pray for me! My name is Nicholas

This took place where and it was today?

Romans 8:15. When I read that verse, I just want to start speaking in tongues..."abba Father"....aba ca, da, la, ....whatever.

So +FrancesChan, Do you believe there is still a place for the baptism of the Holy Spirit; that can equip each believer with a personal prayer language and be filled with the Holy Spirit, as it was in the Book of Acts?

When we pray in the spirit we are praying by the spirit and He makes intercession for us according to the will of God. Romans 8:26&27 This is what Ephesians 6:18 is. We pray the perfect will of God which is His words as we pray in the spirit. This is the sword of the Spirit. It is not the same meaning as stated in Ephesians 6:16. Why? Because faith is us standing on His word: His promises . By faith we inherit the promises Hebrews 6: 12. These 2 parts of the armor are completely different from each other . They are not the same , as too many people say they are. One is a shield: for defense! One is a sword for attack.! Think about it. Meditate on these verses and you will see

Let the context define the terms. I Corinthians 14 defines what praying in the spirit actually is. It's *tongues.* 1Co 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 1Co 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 1Co 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? Verse 14 defines "my spirit prayeth" as "in an unknown tongue", and says that when I do that, "my understanding is unfruitful." Verse 16 defines "blessing with the spirit" as something which someone cannot understand, because he doesn't understand it. Sounds like the same thing to me. *Tongues.* Paul is highly educated. He knows not to muddy the water by changing definition of terms in the middle of a conversation. One of the strict rules of Bible interpretation is to allow the context define the meaning of terms. The only reason Francis Chan wants verse 15 to mean something other than what verses 14 and 16 are talking about, is because he doesn't speak in tongues. We should never allow our experience to modify Scripture. Rather, we need to allow the Scriptures to modify our experience. Of course it makes us uncomfortable. That's the process of growth and learning.

my friend repent and be ye baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. acts 2:38. this is what I did and it truely works. that the real way. if you are not baptized how can you call yourself a christian. please get that point in your head first. after you are baptized you become a child of God by faith. God now forgives you of your sins . you accept His forgiveness by faith and God now becomes your father. now please ask your Father in heaven to baptize you in the Holy Ghost and to fill you. now start getting serious in prayer to God. if you follow this Bible way soon you'll start sensing the Holy Ghost presence coming upon you during times of prayer or worship especially worship. it will feel like chills or goosebumps overwhelming you. at this point you will start having inner urges to say something unto God or rather to make sound s unto God. these strange feelings or inspirations are actually coming from the Holy Ghost inside you. just yield to it open your mouth and speak what you feel like speaking at that moment and the true tongues will start pouring out. at thus point once you start speaking the presence of the Holy Ghost will start to manifest even more which brings more intense inspirations and anointing. you'll feel more free and you get more focus on God and more prayer points comes to your spirit. you'll start getting more prophetic dreams and visions. you'll start feeling people sicknesses in your own body when you get near them in order for God to use you heal them. intact you'll become more and more empathic. the gift is not just for you to feel Good but to help break the yoke of oppression in the lives of people around you making you a better and true witness of God... please if you can't speak in tounges does not mean it's not real .I have this gift of praying in tongues. its real . I'm not demon possessed. God has used me countless times to heal the sick cast out demons even prophesy. I could not do these things before . it was after I was baptized in the Holy Ghost that these Gifts started to manifest. I don't heal people for money. I received freely and through Christ I heal freely. but I only heal those who the Holy Ghost directs me to. cause its Gods choice to heal. we are servants. I was speaking in false tongues for years and was so depressed but when I was really baptised in the Holy Ghost the true speaking in tongues manifested. it no trick to me anymore. false tongues is just you speaking words with no divine presence. the real tongues is an inspiration from within but it comes with the divine presence of the Holy Ghost. the feeling of the anointing overwhelms you and the vibrations of the heart comes out through the mouth as you yeild to the inspiration. while praying in true tongues your physical body gets flooded with chills and goosebumps. these chills overwhelm you and brings divine inspiration of utterance. it's not like a demon controlling you. you are the one controlling your mouth. but you are not in control of the inner inspiration. that comes naturally. example when you hear a very funny joke you just can't help but feel those happy feelings inside. you feel like laughing. but just because you feel like laughing does not mean you must laugh. you choose to open your mouth and laugh but you didn't choose those happy feelings inside that make you open your mouth to laugh. tongues is like this. I speak in the heavenly languages unto God while praying. I can't control the feelings of the anointing which brings the inspiration of tongues cause that naturally comes by being filled with the Spirit but I can control my mouth. I can yeild to the Spirit and pray in tongues or I can just keep quiet. but if I yeild and speak those inspirations I get an even more intense spiritual release. more anointing. The anointing is for breaking yokes and not just to feel good. it actually damages the enemy. but one must grow in these gifts. the power of God is meant to grow. so the baptism of the Holy Ghost is only the beginning its not the end. but Satan does not want us to grow and that's why he tempts us to sin so that our spiritual growth is hindered. so true speaking in tongues is under the anointing. fake tongues is just you forcing your self to speak trash with no anointing or divine presence. false tongues is also when you are demon possessed and another spirit speaks through you without your consent. the true gift of tongues comes with other spiritual gifts. those that really have the real gift tend to heal the sick and cast out demons from the oppressed. the real anointing makes you empathic. you will feel peoples sicknesses in your own body which makes you know God wants to heal them. once you now pray for them, bam the healing occurs like magic. the more you grow in faith(anointing) the more you see and feel who is sick and needs healing or deliverance and the greater cases of sickness you will be able to cure. it is God curing them through you. we are vessels of God. its not a joke. now when you succeed in healing the sick you tend to get spiritually persecuted cause the devil will not be happy that you set that person free. this is called spiritual warfare. its not a walk in the park. its not a bed of roses . its real war and that's why you must take up your cross daily and be led by the Spirit of God. there is much that can be said about this topic. But the truth is that not many are actually baptized in the Holy Ghost And that's why many false teachers teach nonsense. false teachers only bring confusion. its real . trust but it is for the purpose of helping others including yourself. any questions please contact me at gisitor69@gmail.com peace and more blessings be upon your head now in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. amen

Tongues was only meant to spread the gospel in another language that you don't speak when you don't have an interpreter. I don't support tongue talkers. It isn't for today. I'm done.
