Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8: 26 KJV
What you know and understand is usually expressed via words during prayers, which are either said or read as prayer points. This is done in response to your understanding of the burden and you’re praying with the best words you think is good enough. But our words alone are not enough to handle the entirety of the problem, this is when speaking in tongues comes in. Anytime you speak in tongues, the Holy Spirit gathers the information that was left out during speaking of words and produces a complete response for you. Speaking in tongues is a necessary means that every believer must engage in for maximum result. No single prayer can be complete enough to produce the desired result, but with the help of the Holy Spirit there is completeness and precision of words whenever we pray. The Spirit helps our infirmities is how the Bible puts it, it can be translated to mean that the Spirit helps our imperfections. In other words if you want to gain perfection engage the Holy Spirit during prayer.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:2 –For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God: for no man understands him; however in the spirit he speaks mysteries. The meaning of this is that speaking in tongues reveals the secrets of God and aborts the wicked agenda of the enemy, it unveils the hidden truth, and makes one pray correctly. Speaking in tongues is a major empowerment that every believer must have. It helps you to stay in check without missing any detail. If before now you haven’t spoken in tongues before or you speak and lack consistency, in the name of Jesus I untie your tongue and in the authority in the name of Jesus begin to speak in tongues now. It was God’s servant Dr. Pst. Paul Enenche, who said that, “anytime you’re confronted with what you don’t know about, speak in tongues.” Understandably, speaking in tongues is the right response that handles uncertainty in life. It throws the devil into confusion, the enemy is hearing the voice but lacks the understanding of the voice, because only God can understand it. Anytime you want to have your privacy with God and yourself alone, pray in the Holy Ghost. Only God knows what you’re saying, what every other hearer will be hearing is a noise that releases power.
Today’s thought: “What you don’t know is the part the Spirit handles whenever you pray in the Holy Ghost.”
Keynote: The Spirit of God is such that when engaged during prayer will help you to gain perfection.
Counsel: Pray without ceasing. Speak in tongues whenever you pray, don’t be a religious person that will only read out prayers.
Prayer: Lord, I ask for the grace to pray at all times. I ask that this gift of speaking in tongues that resides in me will be used maximally for its purpose in giving you praise and in dismantling the wickedness of the devil in Jesus’ name, amen.
