Praying In Tongues, We Are Calling Forth By The Holy Spirit All That God Has Ordained For Us In Our Destiny.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 14:1-2
1 Corinthians 14:1-2 says, “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may
prophesy. For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one
understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.” Speaking in tongues has a
variety of Biblical purposes that unfold in Scripture and the first one that we see here deals
with the word mysteries. The Greek word translated “mysteries” is moos-tay-ree-on which
means ‘To speak to God about a transcendent alternate reality.’ When we are praying in
tongues, we are calling forth by the Holy Spirit all that God has ordained for us in our
destiny, our equipping, our gifting, and our calling, as well as praying God’s purposes for
others or His purposes into various situations. It comes from the realm of the Spirit. Since we
know from Scripture that one of God’s chief purposes for us is to be formed into
Christlikeness, and Godly character, then we know that praying in tongues really helps
develop that character and therefore is something we cannot afford to ignore.
Praying in tongues helps to expose flaws in your character! praying in
tongues really helps develop that character and therefore is something we
cannot afford to ignore.
