“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:A believer must not uphold anything else above the written word. The written word must be his final authority as far as the Christian faith is concerned.
It’s been established in previous studies that praying in the spirit is praying in your heavenly language of tongues. Some have said “Tongues is of the devil”. The book of Acts however states that tongues are “the wonderful works of God” (Acts 2:11). If praying in tongues was evil, then Paul would have been demon possessed because he said, “I thank my God, I speak in tongues more than ye all” (1Corinthians 14:18). Other excuses that we hear today are, “Speaking in tongues is not for us today”. Then why would Apostle Paul spend his time talking about tongues in the function of a church service in the fourteenth chapter of the book of Corinthians? Apostle Paul also said, “Forbid not to speak with tongues” (1Corinthians 14:39), and then he uttered these powerful words, “I would that ye all spake with tongues…” (1Corinthians 14:5). You cannot choose what part of Paul’s writings is from God and what part are his own ideas. Apostle Paul did state these words, “But to the rest speak I, not the Lord…” (1Corinthians 7:12), but I believe that he was not referring to tongues. Praying and speaking in tongues are a fulfillment of the prophecy Jesus announced on the day of his ascension.
Paul is speaking the mind of God on the matter of tongues; therefore, we must hear what he has to say and live in the light of it. Speaking and praying in other tongues is for us today. The issue in the early church, unlike the modern church, was not whether people spoke in tongues or not, but rather how much they spoke in tongues. Apostle Paul said, “I thank my God, I speak in tongues more than you all” (1Corinthians 14:18). That was the secret to his supernatural life, revelations, and ministry. The Lord General of the church, Jesus Christ Himself declared that the believer would speak in tongues; “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues” (Mark 16:17). When you are praying in tongues, you are in good company, and you are not out of order. It does not matter what some denominations say or argue; we are to uphold the written word above denominations and persons. If the Lord has said that the believer will speak with new tongues, then the matter is settled. Praying in tongues is for you today. Glory!
INSTRUCTION:Uphold God’s word above anything else.
CONFESSION:I am born of the word, so I live by the word; therefore, I walk in my realities in the word; I speak with new tongues, in Jesus Name, Amen
QUOTE: Praying in tongue is for the believer today.
