For he
that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no
man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries (1
Corinthians 14:2).
Many people wonder if
it’s possible to know the will of God. "God moves in mysterious ways, His
wonders to perform," they’d say. Obviously, they have the wrong perception
of God, because God surely isn’t mysterious and doesn’t work in mysterious
ways. He has revealed Himself and His Will to us primarily through His written
Word. However, we can also know His will when we pray in other tongues.
The Holy Spirit is the
one who gives us utterance when we speak in other tongues, and He never leads
you outside the provisions of God’s Word. When you pray with the spirit, in
other tongues, the Holy Spirit imparts to you the knowledge of God’s will
concerning issues of importance. Your mind doesn’t grasp the meaning of the
utterances you make at such times, but you’re praying the will of God.
Romans 8:26 says,
"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." This is part of the ministry of
the Spirit in your life; He helps you pray aright, in line with the will of
God. Praying in this manner—declaring the counsel of God—through the Spirit
will cause physical circumstances to align with God’s perfect will for your
life.
How important it is to
pray in other tongues! It helps you know and establish God’s will for your
life! It enables you to shape the circumstances of your environment to be in
conformity with His plans and purposes. Often, there’re certain changes you
might want to see in your life, family, ministry, job, business, finances or
academics, which may seem not to be happening. If you’d pray fervently in other
tongues, you’d receive ideas and answers from the Holy Spirit through your
spirit.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you
for the benefit and power of praying in other tongues. My spirit is enlightened
to know your will and invigorated to walk therein, as I speak in other tongues
today and make power available for my future, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
