FIRE BY NIGHT
"Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart]
...."You,
in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of
cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, nor the pillar of
fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go"....
Nehemiah 9:19 NASB
JANUARY 6TH
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT
Words of prophecy:
* Praying
in the s[S]pirit [with other tongues] is of the utmost importance for My
children in this hour. For it is in this way that one will continually
"draw up" [as a bucket in a well] [Proverbs
20:27] the necessary wisdom pertaining to My divine strategies for My
remnant Church - and their perfect part in it. It is also in this way that the
"mysteries" of the Kingdom will be continually unfolded before them [1 Corinthians 14:2] as they diligently seek with a
pin-point accuracy the "fullness" of My Will and destiny for them, in
Christ.
...."So too
the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for
we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought,
but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf
with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance. And He Who
searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy]
Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before
God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will. [Ps.
139:1, 2]"....
Romans 8:26-27 The Amplified Translation
Every believer
who has received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit has been given the ability of
speaking with other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives them utterance. This
prayer language we have been given is a most valuable tool in our prayer life -
for we are often ignorant of both our own needs, and the needs of those around
us. Since this prayer language we have been given causes great harm to the Evil
One and his strongholds it should not be surprising to the believer to find
that Satan will go to any lengths in an attempt to sidetrack the child of God
from regular fellowship with the Father and His Word - through their time in
the "inner chamber", and through praying in the Spirit. When the
believer prays in the Spirit they are, in reality, speaking out of their spirit
by the Holy Spirit to Heaven on high, and their petitions are heard in the very
Throne room of God - without exception.
PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT HAS MANY BENEFITS - AND
IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR THE CARRYING OUT OF THE FATHER'S WILL
Every
believer must have the Baptism of the Holy Spirit [and His continual "infilling"]
in order to be empowered for true Kingdom-service ["clothed with power
from on high] [Luke 24:49]. Praying in
"other tongues" [which again is a spontaneous fruit of the Baptism of
the Holy Spirit] will both edify the believer, and allow them to continually
pray the perfect will of the Father for both their lives and the lives of their
brothers and sisters in Christ [as well as all those who are led "cross
their path"]. Every child of God must NEVER settle for anything less than
the "full provision" they have been given, in Christ, to defeat Satan
with in this earth [Psalm 25:14; Ephesians 6:18].
Praying in the Spirit has many benefits - and is an absolute necessity for the
carrying out the will of God for one's life and ministry.With all of these things
that have just been written in mind, here are five important reasons for
praying in the Spirit.
FIVE IMPORTANT REASONS FOR PRAYING IN THE
SPIRIT
1.
To edify and build oneself up spiritually. 1
Corinthians 14:4; Jude 1:20;
2. To pray for all the saints
[intercession]. Ephesians
6:18; Romans 8:26-27;
3. To allow the Holy Spirit to aid our prayers [praying to the
perfect will of God]. Romans 8:26-27
4. To speak mysteries [Divine secrets] with the Heavenly
Father. 1 Corinthians 14:2
5. To draw from the well of God's Wisdom - [from the Holy Spirit
through our spirit]. Proverbs 20:27
