Topic: PRAY IN TONGUES REGULARLY
Bible Reading: Psalm 82-84; Romans 8:19-39.
Memory Verse: “And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:27 (KJV)
Sometimes, I feel troubled in my spirit without knowing the main cause and because I do not know the reason for such a gloomy mood, I pray in the Spirit knowing that the Holy Spirit knows what the situation is and will be able to make intercession for me addressing the issue. And usually, after praying for a while, my mind is at peace then I know that the challenge had been addressed. At some other times when I am searching for something and I do not seem to know how to locate it, I begin to pray in tongues, seeking the face of the Holy Spirit. In most cases, that thing is located. And finally when I face very serious challenge that even praying becomes difficult for me, I begin to pray in tongues and do this often until the issue at hand is resolved.
The Bible says in Romans 8:26 (KJV), ”Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Thus as Christians, God has given us the best assistance that we may need who does not only pray for us but does so in the will of God and so we have the assurance that the prayer will be answered. Why? because the Bible says 1 John 5:14 (KJV), “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:”
So whatever your situation is and whenever it is, God has made a way out and it is for you to avail yourself of that opportunity. You do not need to worry searching out what the problem is because the Holy Spirit can easily search your spirit and bring out the need and present it to God the father for solution. The Bible says in Romans 8:27 (KJV), “And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
So if you do not speak in tongues, all you need is to ask God for it and if you sincerely desire it, God will in no time give it to you. On the other hand, if you have the gift of speaking in tongues, then ensure you engage the Holy Spirit often as it’s a sure way to answered prayers.
However, the gift is only available to the true children of God . So if you have not given your life to Christ, you need to do so first by repenting of your sins and asking the Lord Jesus to forgive your sins and save you from kingdom of hell promising not to go back to your sins anymore. And He will accept you as He says in John 6:37 (KJV), “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” Once you are saved, you become eligible for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Action Point: Please pray in Holy Ghosst for one hour today and do so everyday. You may start by praying for a shorter period several times a day.
