The Power Of Praying In The HOLY SPIRIT
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:4
Tommy Hicks, from America, was used very powerfully by GOD as an evangelist in the 1950s and 60s. His ministry was follow with signs, wonders and miracles. Mulitudes were saved as JESUS worked in and through his life. He was invited once to speak in communist Russia. While he was speaking, he noticed that there was something wrong. So, Tommy Hicks began to preach in tongues as led of the HOLY SPIRIT. The power of GOD fell in the place, people came to the altar and many were saved. The translator had been saying the wrong words to align with communist Russia. When Tommy Hicks asked the translator what happened, she said that he looked at her in perfect Russian and said, “Shut up and sit down.” When we don’t know what to say or to pray, the HOLY SPIRIT knows exactly what we should say and what we should pray. All glory to JESUS!
I pray in tongues often and then also sometimes when praying with others. There have been so many times when the HOLY SPIRIT makes clear in my spirit what GOD is speaking and also what is happening in the lives of others. Do you pray in the HOLY SPIRIT? Do you pray and speak in other tongues as the SPIRIT enables you? I pray that you are. And if you don’t, I pray that you do. This is an enormous GOD-given blessing from JESUS that will change the way you pray and will transform your life!
Action Point
If you pray in tongues, then I encourage you to set a specific time each day to read the Bible, pray in tongues and sit silently before JESUS listening for HIS voice. Do you need direction? Pray in the SPIRIT! Do you need victory? Pray in the SPIRIT! Do you need clarity? Pray in the SPIRIT! Do you need strength? Pray in the SPIRIT! Do you not know what to pray? Pray in the SPIRIT! Whatever your viewpoint is on this topic, my encouragement to you is to seek GOD, read what the Bible says and don’t try to complicate this amazing Truth! Pray in the SPIRIT, be encouraged and then go out and share JESUS with someone today!
GOD bless you, my friend!
