(When did faith change from our trusting God to our getting God to do our will? When did man begin to place his faith in his ability to conjure up belief? If I can only believer enough then I can get this thing to work.) God is not what we believe, by Faith we believe what God is as revealed in His Holy Word God's will is not what we believe, by Faith we believe God's will as revealed in His Holy Word. God does not do what we believe, rather by Faith we believe what God does as revealed in His Holy Word. By a word of faith command, God does not do our bidding, rather by faith in the commands of His Holy Word we do His bidding. Faith is not the ability to get God to act on our behalf, rather by faith we believe that He has acted and is acting on our behalf and trust in His sovereign, good and holy will. God can do anything, but He doesn't, He only does His good and holy will. Because of the wide spread confusion of what it means to be “filled with the Spirit” and to “pray in the Spirit” an understanding of the Biblical Doctrine of the Holy Spirit is necessary before addressing the subject of prayer. There is such great deal of misunderstanding concerning spiritual gifts and prayer, faith and prayer and mystical experiences and prayer that in order to avoid constantly dealing with side issues that such misunderstandings create it is better to address the doctrines directly as a foundation to teaching on prayer.
