And if the Spirit of
him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from
the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who
lives in you. Romans 8:11
God wants us alive unto Him. He wants to quicken our bodies.
His desire is that His life flows through us.
A significant way that we are empowered this way is through
praying in tongues. When we pray in the Spirit we become more sensitive to the
Spirit's promptings. We become conduits for the Lord to bless others through
his power. Praying in tongues also opens the door for us to flow in the gifts
of the Spirit.
Again and again in the book of acts, tongues is shown as the
initial sign of the infilling of the Holy Spirit for believers. The Bible says that when we pray in tongues
we edify ourselves. In the Greek, the word “edify” means to charge like a
battery. The Holy Spirit is called our
Helper, and when we pray in tongues He helps us.
If you have this gift, speak in tongues often. But do it
privately. Do not draw attention to yourself.
If you don't have this gift, ask the Lord to fill you with His Holy
Spirit. The only prerequisite to receive is that you must be born again.
Confess to the Lord any known sin you may have. Understand that you cannot earn
this gift; it is freely given.
Come before Him now and receive. He loves you and wants only
what's best for you.
