THE POWER OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES

Today we shall be looking at the power of praying in tongues

1. It builds you up

It builds you up on the inside.

It builds up your spirit man.

It renews and refreshes you.

Jude verse 20  But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost

1Corin 14.4   He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

2. You pronounce deep secrets of God

When you speak in tongues, utterances emanate from deep down in your spirit. These utterances are from the Holy Spirit who is within you. You are actually pronouncing the mind of God when you speak in tongues.

Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

1Cor 14. 2  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.

1Cor 2.10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

When you speak in tongues you utter the deep things of God. You utter the perfect will of God. You upload the counsel of God into your spirit and subsequently your mind.

3. It mobilizes angels

Speaking in tongues also sometimes mobilizes angels. The deep things of God you utter send signals to angels and puts them to work to carry out God's agenda.

Psa 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments,hearkening unto the voice of his word.

4. It sorts things out in your spirit. It brings clarity into your spirit.

Speaking in tongues helps bring clarity into your spirit.

You are not permitted to be confused.

Joh 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Speaking in tongues brings light and illumination into your spirit.

It enlightens you

Psa 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 

Are you confused about a particular matter? Pray in tongues concerning that matter. Praying on tongues will birth clarity in your spirit.

You will just know what to do.

It will become clear. There will be an assurance in your spirit that, yes, this is it.

5. It brings boldness

The Holy Spirit gives us boldness.

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a soundmind.

Act 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. 

When you pay in tongues, you stir up the move of the Spirit within you. This comes with boldness.

Timidity vanishes.

Fear disappears.

2Ti 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 

There is tremendous power in your spirit. Stir it up by praying in tongues.

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd.  He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...

TOPIC: THE COVENANT KEY OF GROWTH

Genesis 26. 13  And the man waxed great, and went forward, and *grew* until he became very great:  Christianity is a covenant between God and man. And this covenant operates on *keys* Things work for you in God's kingdom to the degree that you apply the keys of the kingdom/covenant. Matthew 16.19  And I will give unto thee *the keys of the kingdom* of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. *Growing* is one of the keys of the covenant. The covenant key of growth means that even though you  are  blessed, you cannot experience the fullness of the blessing in the kingdom *unless you grow* Galatians 4.  1  Now I say, That the heir, *as long as he ...
