Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Jude 20
Beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Ghost.
The Passion Translation says, “My delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit.”
The Amplified Bible says, “Beloved, build yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit.”
1 Corinthians 14:4 says, “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself (*builds himself up, and makes himself stronger), but he who prophesies edifies the church.” (*emphasis mine)
The Passion Translation says, “The one who speaks in tongues advances his own spiritual progress, while the one who prophesies builds up the church.”
The Lord spoke to me today and said, “My people do not pray in tongues enough!”
The ability to pray in your own unique heavenly language ‘from your spirit, to the Father, as led by the Holy Spirit’, is a very valuable gift from the Lord!
When you pray in tongues, you are praying in the spirit on the highest, most holy level of faith. Your natural brain does not understand what you are saying, others do not understand, and the devil does not understand, but your spirit understands, and God understands… the bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:2 (TPT), “When someone speaks in tongues, no one understands a word he says, because he’s not speaking to people, but to God—he is speaking intimate mysteries in the Spirit.”
What are you saying when you speak in tongues? You are speaking THE WORD of God in faith over yourself, over others, and over your circumstances as directed by the Holy Spirit! The unfiltered, pure WORD of God, spoken on the highest level of FAITH is so very powerful! It is not hindered by doubt, wrong doctrine, fear, unbelief, or spiritual blindness… it is really our ONLY way to declare and to pray the Word in it’s purest, most powerful form.
When you pray in tongues, it infuses and imparts supernatural, miracle working power into, and onto yourself, giving you SUPERNATURAL ability, it releases the POWER of the Word over others, over your assignments, over your finances, over your challenges, over your circumstances and over every area of your life. It builds you up into a spiritual edifice that cannot be struck down, or defeated.
Paul said, “I thank God that I speak in tongues more that all of you”, the AMPC says, “more than all of you put together”. Paul, one of the most powerful apostles ever, spoke in tongues more than the entire church of Corinth put together! I pray that the Holy Spirit gives you a revelation on speaking in tongues, and that you increase the time that you spend speaking in tongues exponentially, in Jesus name! After only one week of doing this, you will be living on another level of power, ability, wisdom, success and miracles… guaranteed!
In His amazing Love, Nick
