Scripture for today

Ephesians 6:18 AMPC

Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).

We have been admonished to pray in the Spirit as believers. If there is any form of prayer that has helped me in my spiritual growth it is praying in other tongues. Praying in tongues has a whole lot of benefits infact will share my personal experience. I have benefited greatly from praying in other tongues when I feel helpless and hopeless. Some days back I was beginning to feel like I wasn't living life to the height I really desire.  I felt my own progress was very slow and all my friends were doing better than myself. I called it the ingratitude hit! I began to feel depressed without wanting to pray. At that moment I knew what I was feeling wasn't of God but it came so strongly upon me. After some time I began to pray in the Holy Ghost. I started praying in other tongues not really knowing what I was saying but it felt so good  afterwards. The burden was lifted, the thick dark cloud of ingratitude was pulled back and praise was lifted. 

Praying in tongues makes you communicate direct to God, the devil can't understand it so it's very confusing for him. It's a communication between you and God 1Cori 14:2. Communicating with God not with your own will and desires helps in our growth as Christians. Praying in other tongues is powerful never neglect it. 

Prayer: Father, thanks for the gift of other tongues. Help me Lord.
