Praying in Tongues.
Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians 14 are devoted to the understanding of this awesome prayer language from God,
"and there came a sound from Heaven as a rushing mighty wind and there appeared unto them tongues of fire ...
and they were ALL filled with the Holy Spirit and began to Speak in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance" Acts2:4
The gift is for every believer. 'they were ALL filled' God is no respecter of persons.
The apostle Paul said "I would that you ALL speak in tongues"
"I will pray with the Sprit.." It is, as we allow the Spirit to go first in our prayer life as the early Church did, that
we will start to see some amazing results. "God is a Spirit" Jesus said.. and then He sent the Holy Spirit to us to help us in our prayer life.
I had had some awesome experiences and answers to prayer, including my healing from diabetes, whilst praying in the Spirit (in other tongues)
You can too.. "For God is no respecter of persons"

Our desire is to see the power of God restored to the Church and to see God's people walk in it, as did the early Church. The Book of Acts and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost is the key to this. |

"I will pray with the Spirit, I will pray with the understanding" 1Cor 14:18
This episode deals with my healing from diabetes, which I would have died from and how the Holy Spirit undertook for me.
Romans 8:28. "Likewise, the Spirit helps our infirmities (literally, our weaknesses, or inability to produce results) for we do not know what how to pray for as we should, for the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered (in articulate speech)
The Lord told me this the other day:
"The baptism of the Spirit is not an experience
but the receiving of a Divine personality"
Romans 7 and 8, deals with the weaknesses of our flesh and the power of the Spirit to overcome this. We know 'how' to pray. Jesus said "Whatsoever you ask the Father in my name, He will give it you" John16:23 but exactly 'what' to pray..
Paul says "We look through a glass darkly.." We don't know what is going on behind the scenes as it were.. for,. "we wrestle not against flesh and blood
but against principalities, against powers, against wicked spirits in the heavenlies"
Neither do we know what is going on in the heart of another, unless the Lord shows us."God looks upon the heart" He knows the 'reasons why we do things.. all things are open and naked before him"
BUT, thank God there is One Who does! The Holy Spirit.. and He came to help us.
Jesus said "I will send you another helper" The Greek word is 'Paraclete' or One called alongside to help. The word also means, Helper, Standby, Intercessor, Advocate (lawyer) Strengthener, Counsellor
One of the main reasons we fail to see answers to so many of our prayers is because we have not received His help, or co-operated with Him in His language.
We get into 'works' and try to figure out what is going on and how we pray about it, when we have Someone Who came to help us in prayer. Grace is allowing Him to help us, allowing Him His place as Teacher and helper of the Church of Jesus Christ.
The loss of this gift is a major reason why the church has lot a lot of her power and an ineffective prayer life! Jesus commanded the disciples not to go anywhere until they had received power (Greek: 'dunamis' - miracle working power)
Jesus overcame in prayer and wants us to overcome too, as we allow Him to pray through us by His Spirit.
This is a testimony to His help in enabling me to receive, what God wanted me to have through prayer.
"Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord"
This Heavenly language is for all that will receive Him. It will change you and your prayer life and you will start to see some amazing results.
God Bless
John
