THE “TONGUES” HABIT
(Cultivate The Habit Of Praying Always In The Spirit)
TO THE BIBLE: 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).”
LET’S TALK
To pray always means to be in constant communication and fellowship with the Lord; it’s always ongoing. He wants us to be in fellowship with Him all the time. At such times, you receive spiritual insights and information that give you an advantage in life. The Bible says to pray at all times, in all situations, with all kinds of prayers. So, no matter what kind of prayer it is, including the prayer of faith or intercession, praying in the spirit should be a part of it.
In 1 Corinthians 14:14-15, Paul said, “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.” This shows that praying in the spirit is a priority. From the Spirit, you’ll know what words to use. Your tongue will be arranged and inspired to say the right things.
As you go out to win souls, you may not know what you’re going to say right away, but pray in the Spirit first, and He’ll give you the right words. You’ll say things that are
consistent with His divine purpose because you’re in timely fellowship with Him through the Spirit. It reminds me of what the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 10:19-20: “…When they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.” Hallelujah! Therefore, make it a habit to always pray in the spirit and with the Spirit.

Pray
Dear Father, I thank you for enlightening me to pray effectively in the Spirit. As I speak in tongues even now, my spirit is lifted to function from a vantage position of boldness, accuracy, and victory, resulting in a life of dominion in Christ. I don’t struggle but enjoy unstoppable growth and progress as I receive guidance from you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
