• Gal 4:6 . . And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of His
son into your hearts calling out: Abba! Father.
That verse reveals something very important. The Spirit of His son compels
Christ's believing followers to call out to his Father rather than his mother,
and the reason for that is actually quite simple. Christ always prays
to his Father; never to his mother; ergo: the Father's children exhibit the
very same behavior because the Spirit of His son compels them to pray like
His son.
That, by the way, is a pretty good litmus test. If somebody is comfortable
praying to Jesus' mom, they give away the fact that they lack the Spirit of
God's son in their hearts; which means of course that they have yet to
undergo adoption into His home.
• Rom 8:15 . . For you have not received a spirit of bondage again to fear;
but you have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we call out: Abba!
Father.
The Bible instructs Christ's believing followers to pray in the Spirit (Eph
6:18, Jude 1:20). When people pray in the Spirit; they pray in compliance
with Mark 14:35-36, Gal 4:6, and Rom 8:15. In other words: they don't pray
to Mary and/or angels and departed saints; no, they pray to the Son's Father
just as he did.
Bottom line: God's kin should feel very comfortable praying to their adoptive
Father. It should come naturally them, i.e. instinctively, just as it came to
Jesus. And they should feel very uncomfortable praying to his mom because
it isn't her spirit that's within them; no, it's the spirit of God's son.
So then, people with a habit of praying to Jesus' mom and/or angels and
departed saints; obviously have neither the spirit of God's son in their heart,
nor the spirit of adoption; and that is a very serious condition to be in.
• Rom 8:9 . . If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not
belong to Christ.
