Jude 20 says "but you,beloved building yourselves up on your most holy faith,praying in the Holy Spirit"
from this verse we can see something and that is the importance of praying in the holy spirit - speaking in tongues. Now you may ask that "how do you know praying in the holy spirit is speaking in tongues?"...well, the answer is in romans 8 :26 "...for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought but the holy spirit himself himself makes intercession for us WITH GROANING WHICH CANNOT BE UTTERED"
now that we know the answer to that question, some people ask when will I know when to speak in tongues?
One thing we should know from the verse above is that praying with the spirit is the best kind of prayer you can prayer without going off-point or being selfish.so when you start praying as the spirit leads you pray in the spirit.You know i have spoken to some people who say i don't like speaking in tongues when i start praying because aftre a while i won't know what to say again.but my friend, lemme remind you once again that it is the spirit that gives you utterance meaning it encompasses your understanding.
Also some people when they just start praying in the spirit they think they're saying rubbish because it may be the same thing buh brethen, keep spaeking it!,,,,because that's the only way you can push off that thought telling you to shut up, that you don't know what you are saying.
I would really like to encourage to pray in the spirit as much as we are supposed to, some people even think because they've been speaking in tongues for years then they just pray when they want to, or speak in tongues for just for a little time. but really, we know we can't go weary of praying in the holy spirit because it's the best way as far as you still pray as a christain
Now also some people feel it's not yet their time to start speaking in tongues buh i don't support that idea because as soon as you become his and you accept the spirit, when you pray the holy spirit automatically takes over some times it takes laying of hands or praying for but when I started speaking in tongues i didn't even know because i was listeming to a song by donnie mcclurkin - holy.
SO FRIENDS LETS BUILD UP OUR FAITH BY PRAYING AS WE OUGHT TO - PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT!
God Bless.
