Have we ever considered what the scriptures says in Jude 20? Jude the brother of Jesus once said in verse 20 "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit". King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.).
Paul also added to this long before while he said....in 1 Cor 14:18 - "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than you all:" King James 2000 Bible (�2003). He went on to say again in 1Cor 14:14: "For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful." King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.).
I have found that when I pray and I open my mouth to pray in a different tongue, while i do not know what I say in the flesh or natural, my spirit pulsate and bubble with a vest energy undefinable to my reasoning but birthing an assurance within my heart that i am communicating with the father of all spirit and as such with faith, I am close to being answered. I have found that praying in the Holy spirit releases my spirit and cut me away from understanding of the flesh, and purely concentrating me on the Grace of the Spirit. I see my flesh subdued, i see my doubt and anxiety brushed away and my fear dissolving.
1 Cor 14:4 - New Living Translation (�2007) "A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church. " 1 Cor 14:2 - "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries." Friends, when we speak in tongue in the place of prayer, we do know our understanding is dead and in the spirit, that allows us to speak in mystery. Mystery unheard. Mystery un-understood by flesh and that empowers us the more to have the grace within to allow Spirit to completely absolved and assimilate us. It strengthens you as a believer and It charges or edifies you! Lets learn to speak and commune with our father in the same language of the spirit and our prayer life I can guarantee us will be lot better than it has been. Prayer, I had come to know, becomes more interesting when we pray in tongues!
