Praying in tongues Praying in the Spirit is a special gift given by Holy Spirit within us, by grace only,.

Without it we cannot anticipate the future or attacks of the enemy But with the heavenly language, the word says the Spirit helps our infirmity, our weakness for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit jointly helps us, to make perfect intercession, by groanings that cannot bee uttered the word uttered gives idea of loud prayer, but in the greek it is whispers & sighings ! which can be prayed under your breath in an unknown language" Which means its a supernatural language, like #cts $%& says #nd they were all filled with the 'oly Spirit ( began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance) *not their own utterance 'e gave it to them+ ,his tells us that we can pray in a heavenly language when you don-t know how to pray *when discouraged, don-t know+. #nd some of you are going through attacks *like now+ and you don-t know how to pray" You know your rights, know what belongs to you e.clusive compound, ...your heritage, not /ovts, your Gr Flr flat, not /ovts or /hatwais, ...Gorai prop yours not 0elsons1 but you don-t know how to pray" #nd the 2ord showed me... 3-m going to stir you to pray in heavenly language while your eating, driving, watching ,4, cooking, all the time" #nd this doesn-t take your mental effort. Actually your mind would mess it up! 5ou can 6ust rela. ( pray in tongues *,78 'S+ 3ts the ultimate weapon that the enemy doesn-t want you to use. ,hat-s why he attacks teaching of tongues so much. *5ou can tell how imp a teaching is, by the amount of opposition it gets from him"+ eg 'e doesn-t want you to know /race, because the word says The God of peace will soon crush satan under his feet ( goes on to say the grace ( peace of the lord 9esus, be with you) Grace & peace enables satan to be crushed....so from now on child, 6ust rela. ( pray in the tongues in the rest ( refreshing" *Why 3 led u here+ ,o the woman at the well, 9esus said 3f you ask me 3 will give you living waters, he who believes in me, on the inside of him will spring up well of of living waters.) *9n &+ #nd in 9n : 9esus says If any man come unto me drink *in greek, continually drinking+ out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters) ,he well is for your own use, ;ivers is for others" ,hat-s the baptism in the 'S. <ne of the keys to be full of the 'S is to pray in the 'S...while you-re doing anything" Pray under your breath" #nd the bible says you are being filled with the spirit) 3n #cts ,hey were all filled with the 'S ( began to speak in tongues) The first thing the spirit does when he comes, is to get hold of your tongue! Why= Because in the book of 9ames /od says that the tongue no one can tame. *3t keeps speaking !vely, fearfully, rubbish+ #nd if any one tames the tongue, he is a perfect man. So the 'S takes hold of your tongue. 9ames says if anyone can control his tongue he can control his whole body! ,he more you give your tongue to the 'S in tongues, 'e makes your tongue speak faith ( controls your whole body" (mind, thinking, feeling, will) 3ts ,'> ?<S, 3?P<;,#0, 7>5" We-re in the end times, 9esus is coming, we need to be a powerful church! 0ot impressing others" 'e who prays in tongues edifies himself *charges up like a battery+.

What you see is my body, *outer court+ then my holy place *mind+ But you don-t see my spirit *holy of holies+. When 3 pray in tongues my prayer comes out from the holy of holies ?ost holy place" That$s why tongues is so powerful. ,hat-s why the word says 5ou beloved building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the !"( When 3 pray in the spirit, ?5 SP3;3, P;#5S" #nd my soul *thinking+ is unfruitful 5ou know why

! my understanding doesn-t have to participate, because most of my issues today are caused by my natural understanding, which hinders everything my worries are because 3 think too much and 3 don-t know much" ,he moment the 'S takes away my tongue, intellectual people *who are proud of their understanding+, can-t stand it" I am not talking to myself or others I am talking to God! 3 am making connection with the only one with whom nothing is impossible" ! li e a Hot!line to heaven better than to our )rime minister )resident *hief 'inister! 3 only have to believe *3 don-t have to understand it-s better 3 don-t+ 3t will Dap me ! 3-d be frightened"
Some years ago, 3 was praying for this church 3f 3 knew what the 'S was praying for the future 3 would have been terrified to know that 3 was going to be preaching to thousands in & sevices per day, twice a week" But thankfuly the HS prays my future through me, wEo my -knowing- it" >g, if a girl is praying in the spirit about her boy friend ( the 'S is praying Father this not good for her, break this up, block this relationship" 3f she knew what she was praying, she would stop because in the natural she-s in love"

+hen I pray in the !", I can pray the divine purposes of God, into my future, into my life on this earth. 3 can be praying against dangers that have not yet occured to me or my family, because /od knows the plans of the enemy before he plans them" 3 am able to pray for the future, ( the now ( bring problems of the past to light ( have them solved. +hen praying in !" becomes intense, 3 can ask for interpretation ( !e gi%es me a word of prophecy or knowledge. *But not always+.

We 6ust read that its the armour of /od that we-re putting on, not our armour. #nd we recei%e the sword & by means of praying in the spirit- 0o wonder the devil is afraid of this ultimate weapon. ,hat-s why he opposes the teaching on tongues. 5ou could figure with your own understanding it seems as gibberish, useless.
