Praying In The Spirit
“For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit” 1 Corinthians 14:2
Praying in the Spirit is God’s provision for the strengthening of our “inner man.” The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself. – 1 Corinthians 14:4a.
This means that the Holy Spirit gives us a means to regain new strength especially when we are overwhelmed or simply in need of special help.
Praying in the Spirit releases God’s wisdom and direction. Paul said that the one who speaks in a tongue “speaks mysteries”. 1 Corinthians 14:2. We don’t know what we are saying, yet God reveals His truth to us as we pray.
In Romans 8:26, Paul says when we pray in the spirit, “the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”
Like Elisha, we receive a double-portion mantle when we are filled with the Holy Ghost, so why be confined to natural limitations when we have been invited to step into a supernatural dimension?
We need to pray in the Spirit often to stay refilled and charged. Let’s take advantage of every spiritual gift God has given us so the world can see a demonstration of His power
“But you, beloved, building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit” Jude 1:20
