Praying in the Holy Spirit
Overview
Why should we pray? What hinders prayer? How do we pray according to the will of God? This series of ten short meditations on prayer stems from Ironside’s reflection on the command found in Jude 20 to “pray in the Spirit.” These meditations answer the basic questions about prayer which concerned Ironside’s original listeners as much as they perplex modern readers.

“Our theme is ‘Praying in the Holy Spirit.’ In this, unsaved people can have no part whatever, for no one can pray in the Spirit who is not indwelt by the Spirit.” (Page 3)
“Prayer keeps the soul in touch with the power by which alone we build aright. Mere Bible knowledge may make one heady and doctrinal. Prayer alone, if unguided by Scripture, tends to fanaticism; but the Word and prayer together give a good, firm base on which to rear a sturdy Christian character.” (Page 2)
