Gifts of the Holy Spirit or Praying in the Spirit on Genesis 3 - 3 years ago
Seems that in recent days, there had been a lot of comment concerning speaking in tongues. 1 Corinthians chapter 14 has the greatest amount of information there.
In my experience, the Holy Spirit is the Giver of His gifts. He decides, not us. praying in the spirit is different. Sometimes described in groanings that issue from your innermost being. You can Search that word in the Search Box.
Your rational (sometimes carnal mind) doesn't understand the language. However, your born again) spirit does. Emotions are comforted and peace comes to you. Your prayer time flows when you are calm. You hear the Holy Spirits replies to questions. That may not occur if you constrain your time to a half hour or less. Sitting quietly waiting for His word, takes longer usually. Don't be composing a grocery list etc
Psalm 100:4. "Enter His courts with thanksgiving and praise." Try singing a favorite hymn.
Listen for that still, small voice. Malachi 3:16-18
And then you will desire those moments with the Lord.
Truly if your house is overflowing with children, their friends, pets... you may have to sneak out to the car to be edified in your being.
The gifts of Tongues and the gift of Prophesy work together. An utterance will be Confirmed from the mouths or 2 or 3 people with the gift of prophesy to speak it out in English or in your language. That's how it works usually. Date and write it down.
I am going to add; the voice of the Holy Spirit singing, will capture your heart forever.
