For christians : when you pray do you say Jesus, God or Holy Ghost? do you mention all 3 equally?

Question

Why or why not? do you ask through the holy Ghost? in wyour mind what is the holy Ghost?

(My God please be serious you do not make fun of this stuff I give respect to Christianity I think everyone should do the same)....I do not find any inappropriate language funny...

Answer 1

Dear God......

Answer 2

I address all 3. I don't do this by form or ritual or anything like that. I just flow with whatever's in my heart as I go through my day and I'm reaching out to God. If I'm thinking about the Holy Spirit, I address Him. Sometimes it's Jesus and me, and sometimes it's Father and me. And I know that Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit all are on the same page, are in perfect agreement on what the will of God for my life is, and I know God is for me not against me.

The Holy Spirit is who moved on the face of the water (Genesis 1:2) when God was speaking forth the light, the separation of firmaments, the plants, the animals, man, etc. The Holy Spirit is also who descended upon Jesus when John was baptizing Him in the Jordon River (Matthew 3:16, Mark 1:10, and John 1:32). And the Holy Spirit was who was poured out on the church on the day of Pentecost (Acts chapter 2).

Answer 3

When I pray, I pray to God. I often (a lot, actually) ask for things in Jesus' name. I also ask to be filled with the Holy Ghost for understanding. Mention all equally? That's a difficult, if not impossibe, question to answer.

Why? Because the way I pray is the way I pray.

The Holy Ghost, in my mind, is God's instrument of understanding and enlightenment and knowledge.

As you are Muslim, I'm certain that you won't understand this completely, but, as a Christian, I thank you for asking the question.

God bless you.

Answer 4

The trinity belives there is 3 PERSONS in the Godhead, That is wrong, There is only 3 Offices of the same spirit of God, God Is a spirit & not a person, The Holy Ghost is a spirit & not a person, therefore God & the word Holy Ghost is referring to the self same spirit, God as our Father, God In Christ redeeming the world back to himself & God the Holy Ghost as the seal & comfortor. There fore when I pray, I pray to God & I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ, for Jesus himself said whatsoever ye do, do it all in his name. And the bible also says whatsoever you pray for ask it in the name of Jesus Christ. That is us realizing that Christ die for our sins, There is no 3 persons in the Godhead, if that be true as the trinity people say, then there will have to be 3 Gods, & the Bible says there is only one God. But in that Godhead there is 3 different offices of works by the self same spirit.

Answer 5

I speak to God and Jesus equally (meaning that when I pray, I would like both of them to hear my prayer). I think that the Holy Ghost is a part of God that helps us and is with us. I don't think that it has it's own brain. I could be wrong, and I am certainly not positive.

Answer 6

I pray to Jesus since he is the one true God. Isaiah 9:6
6"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."
The trinity is a man made philosophy. If you don't believe me research it. The Bible always talks about the Holy One, not Holy Three, or Trinity.
Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." The Holy Ghost is God's Spirit.

Answer 7

Hi,
that is a very good question. First, you never pray to Jesus or the Holy Ghost. You are addressing the Father....."Father in Heaven"..then finish your prayer.

You always end your prayer" in the name of jesus christ, amen"

The Savior is the mediator between you and Heavenly Father. That is why you always end your prayer in his name.

The Holy Ghost is what tells you things that the Lord would have you know. It his his influence you feel, he brings things to your thoughts, he warns you, he also helps you to be inspired to do certain things.

The Godhead consists of three seperate beings.. but one in purpose. That purpose is to help you get back to Heavenly Father.

I hope this helps you little sister.....

Answer 8

I begin each conversation with God, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" Amen.

Three Divine persons in One God.

Like three persons in one family.

"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Spirit), teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you..." The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 28 : 18-20.

Jesus suffered died and rose from the dead. No other god has accomplished or fulfilled the ancient Covenant promises. No other of the smaller gods even proclaim it.

Praise be Jesus Christ, True God and True Man.

Answer 9

It depends on what I'm praying about. If I am talking to my father, I say God. If I am in need and must ask for something, I ask for it and expect it in the name if Jesus, and if I am inviting the presence of the Holy Ghost to be within me, that's who I'll need to talk to.

Answer 10

I pray to God the Father in the name of the Son with the help of the Holy Spirit who conveys my prayers to God (or interprets my prayers in a form that God will accept).

Answer 11

I pray to Jehovah, in Christ Jesus name.

Holy Spirit:

Let’s start at the beginning, the word we translate as spirit, It literally means breath or wind.

At Gen 1:2 which most bibles say “ the (S)spirit* of God” was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters. The NRSV says in the footnote “the wind of God” * “And . . . active force (spirit).” Heb., weru´ach. Besides being translated “spirit,” ru´ach is also translated “wind” and by other words that denote an invisible active force.”

This agrees with Psalm 33:6 that says: “By the word of Jehovah the heavens themselves were made, and by the spirit (breath, KJV) of his mouth all their army.”

So the first reference of “Holy Spirit” in the bible denotes wind and breath. So when we say the spirit of God, we are literally saying the breath of God, or the wind of God. Neither of these expressions means a person of God or a personage of God. Both expressions do denote ownership.

Ex. 15:8 “And by a breath* from your nostrils waters were heaped up; They stood still like a dam of floods; The surging waters were congealed in the heart of the sea.” *“And by a breath.” Heb., u•veru´ach; Gr., pneu´ma•tos.

Again we see that God’s spirit is ‘a breath’ that accomplishes not it’s own will, but God’s will.
