“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching hereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”– Ephesians 6:18
LIGHT FOR NOW: Tongues is not of human origin, it is of a spiritual origin and thus cannot be traced to a village somewhere in Japan or China.
Paul in 1Corinthians 14:15 NIV translation echoes “So what will I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind”. Praying with the spirit is synonymous to praying in the spirit and synonymous to “…as the spirit gave them utterance” as recorded in Acts 2:4; “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the spirit gave them utterance”. What happened when the spirit enabled or gave them utterance? They spoke in other tongues. What is called spirit-led prayer and “praying in the spirit” is to pray in tongues as Paul aptly describes to the Corinthian saints, “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God… howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries” (1Corinthians 14:2).
Tongues are your heavenly prayer language. Praying in the spirit is praying in your heavenly prayer language of tongues. Over the years, some people sing and still believe that “Hallelujah is a heavenly language”, but that’s error – that’s not correct. Hallelujah is not a heavenly language. The word “heavenly or heaven” etymologically implies immaterial, the spiritual, the unseen. Hallelujah cannot be the language of the spirit world or spirit realm on the spiritual, the immaterial or the unseen. Earlier, we had said tongues are spirit vocabulary, not hallelujah. So, hallelujah cannot be a heavenly language. Hallelujah has a human origin, not a heavenly origin. Hallelujah originates from the Hebrew. Tongues are not of human origin, it’s of heavenly origin or spirit origin.
The believer’s heavenly language is not hallelujah but tongues. The believer is a citizen of heaven; so when he prays in tongues, he prays in the language of his nationality and identity. Since tongues is not of human origin but heavenly origin, when one prays in tongues he is not speaking a language that is from one village in China or Japan as many assume. Since tongues is of the spirit, that assumption and ideology that you can spell tongues with human vowel and consonants is an error. A language of spiritual origin cannot be translated into human vowels and consonants in an attempt to spell the tongues spoken.Glory!

CONFESSION:I pray in the spirit now more than ever, in Jesus Name, Amen
QUOTE: Hallelujah is not your heavenly language, tongues is your heavenly language.
