BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN ASK OR THINK
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.
1 Corinthians 14:18
Who’s behind all the trouble? Satan himself. He’s so frightened of our ability to pray in tongues that he’s continually trying to steal it from us through persecution and strife.
When we pray in tongues, we activate the Holy Spirit within us, and He begins to Teach us and to Enlighten us. If you want to see an example of what praying in tongues can do, look at the Apostle Paul. He said he prayed in tongues more than anyone in the whole Corinthian church, and he was responsible for writing most of the New Testament!
Another example is the first church at Jerusalem. They didn’t yet have any of the New Testament to read. They couldn’t turn to Ephesians and find out what God’s Plan was for them.
They just had to pray in tongues until the Revelation Light of God dawned in their hearts. That’s all the equipment they had. So they used it and turned the world upside down.
Some years ago, God began Directing me to spend an hour a day praying in tongues. After I did it awhile, I began to talk to other Christians who’d been Directed to do the same thing. God was Speaking to believers all over the world to spend time praying in the Spirit.
If you haven’t made a commitment to spend some time each day praying in tongues, make one now. Set aside all the disagreements and confusion the devil has stirred up about it and just say, “Lord, I’m going to do it. I don’t care what the devil says. I don’t care what any man says. I know You have plans for me that are so good my human mind hasn’t even conceived them–things that are beyond what I can ask or think. And by praying in the Spirit, I’m going to receive them.”
Don’t let the distractions of the devil about tongues disturb you. Tap into the Mind of God. Speak forth His Wisdom. Pray in the Spirit today.
