PRAY IN TONGUES CONSISTENTLY
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church (1 Corinthians 14:4).
Praying in the Spirit is a powerful spiritual exercise that produces remarkable results within you. One of the things God designed to keep you healthy, sound, and strong is prayer, especially praying in the Spirit. When you speak in tongues, you edify yourself; it’s like charging a battery. Your spirit is charged, energized and strengthened, enabling you to truly serve God.
The Apostle Paul revealed something profound in Romans 1:9, saying, “For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son....” This means we serve God with our spirits. Therefore, for your spirit to function effectively, it must be charged, strengthened and continually refreshed. Praying in tongues achieves this.
The human spirit can be weak or strong. To strengthen your spirit, you must spend time praying in the Holy Ghost. As you do, your spirit is built up and fortified: “But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit” (Jude 1:20 AMPC).
God has His role, but you also have yours. The Holy Spirit is your Helper; He doesn’t do the work for you but works through you. Paul, in Ephesians 3:14-16 tells us, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.”
The term “strengthened with might” refers to being infused with miracle-working ability by the Holy Spirit in your inner man. Paul understood this truth deeply, which is why he made a remarkable statement in 1 Corinthians 14:18, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.” The Corinthian church was known for their enthusiasm for speaking in tongues, yet Paul stated that he spoke in tongues more than all of them.
