Being A Victor And Not A Victim Part 6

Last week we learned 5 of 7 keys to being a victor in life. To recap they were:

1. Know your enemy

2. Know your enemy is a defeated foe

3. Be Persistent

4. Use The Name of Jesus

5. Use the Sword of the Spirit: The Word of God

Today, we will look at another tool the Lord has given the believer to be a victor in life.

Today we are going to be talking about the power of praying in tongues. Every believer that has been baptized in the Holy Ghost has a supernatural prayer language available to them.

This is praying in tongues.

Immediately after reviewing the full armor of God in Ephesians 6 the Holy Spirit tells the believer to pray in the Spirit.

Ephesians 6:18 (King James Version) 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,

Then in Jude the Holy Spirit tells us that we build ourselves up when we pray in the Spirit.

Jude 1:20 (King James Version) 20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

"But, Mace that it is talking about praying in the Spirit. What does that have to do with praying in tongues?"

Good question. Let's let the Word answer that.

1 Corinthians 14:14 (New King James Version)14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

When you pray in tongues you are praying in the Spirit. The Word is plain about that.

1 Corinthians 14:2 (New King James Version)2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

When we pray in tongues we build ourselves up supernaturally and we pray God's perfect will.

The Holy Spirit, who is God, helps our spirit pray when we pray in tongues. Many times praying in tongues will prepare you for a future battle.

Other times you may be praying for someone you have no way of knowing in the natural.

You may never know in the natural what you are praying in tongues.

But, the Holy Ghost knows. He strategically directs your prayers when you pray in tongues.

Praying in tongues is a powerful tool the Lord has made available to His Church to bring revelation, to edify, to build up, and to pray Divine revelation.

It's up to you to be baptized in the Holy Ghost by faith and then by faith pray in tongues.

What are you waiting for?
