Praying In Tongues Not Only Develops Christ In Us, But It Also Opens Up Avenues Of
Escape From Corruption :
Scripture: 2 Peter 1:2-4
2 Peter 1:2-4 says, “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and
godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have
been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through
lust.” Did God give us grace and peace? Yes! Did He say it would be multiplied? Yes! The
knowledge of God is to grow within and be completed. He has given us all things that pertain
to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him. How does God bring us into fullness?
That fullness comes as we absorb the exceeding great and precious promises that through
them we become partakers of the divine nature of Christ. Here is another passage in Scripture
that says when we do what God says to do including praying in the Spirit, then the fullness of
Christ is developed in us. An additional benefit is that we escape the corruption that is in the
world. Praying in tongues not only develops Christ in us, but it also opens up avenues of
escape from corruption. We may not know we are praying scriptural promises, but He knows
the prayers that are needed!
Pray to Escape Every Corruption
Avenues of escape are in part a product of praying in the Holy Spirit. Do we need an
avenue of escape right now? If we do, then let’s pray in the Spirit. It may very well be our
path to freedom. Let’s start doing it in Jesus name and then resolve to keep doing it!
