After you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, you will begin to speak in unknown tongues as the Holy Ghost gives you utterance. Praying in the Holy Ghost or in tongues simply means praying according to the perfect will of God. It is the spiritual prayer language of the believer in Christ. Welcome to this life-changing spiritual experience
How to pray in the Holy Ghost
1.Believe in the power of God in praying in the Holy Ghost.
2.Pray to God for help to receive.
3.Believe and be confident that you have received.
4.Relax, speak, without fear, every sound that He gives you to speak. He will not force you. He will only give you the utterance, but you must do the speaking.
5.Speak out until a free clear language comes of your mouth and you have an inner assurance that you have received power from Him(the Holy Spirit).
6.Your mind must not be allowed to wander aimlessly as you pray in the Holy Spirit. It must be trained to be in subjection to the Holy Spirit. It must be controlled and not allowed to go its own way.You must keep God’s word in your spirit by studying and meditating on it.
7.You must actively engage your spirit in what you are praying about, don’t be distracted. Keep a notepad with you and write down every distracting thought that you need to take care of as you pray and deal with it only when you have finished praying.
8.You must actively concentrate upon spiritual thoughts.For without the active, intelligent cooperation of the spirit, it has no means of expressing itself and thus is bound. (Charles Usher, The Prayer life, 1975). Endnote.
Benefits of praying in tongues
1.The more you pray in the Holy Ghost, the more you increase in spiritual discernment and edification and the more you are able to clearly hear the voice of God (with your spiritual ears.)
2.God helps you pray as you should, and for what you should pray for according to His will so that your prayers can become fruitful. There is no point praying fruitless prayers.
(Romans 8: 26-27)
3.This type of prayer comes from your spirit instead of your mind or intellect, therefore, you are able to pray the perfect will of God over any situation.
4.This is the most powerful of all prayers because it is praying in our most holy faith (Jude 20)
Be blessed, my friend.
