A few days ago God gave me a reminder of the importance of praying in tongues. It all began when I was directed to a book advertisement on the Elijah list-- "70 Reasons for Speaking in Tongues". Several other confirmations followed. Spurred on by this, I began speaking in tongues much more, and noticed that my clarity improved afterwards.
Tongues reveal the truth. They align us with the reality of the Holy Spirit within us. I know that some healing evangelists like their congregants to speak in the Spirit when receiving words of knowledge. Why? Because tongues bring us up into God's spiritual frequency, where we can align our spirits with an uncovered portion of the truth. Then come accurate words of knowledge. We may not know, but He does, and as we let the Spirit pray through us, He imparts to us unsearchable things.
"But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets." 1 Corinthians 2:10
When we pray in the Spirit, we receive from Him increasingly accurate spiritual insights--whether prophecies, visions, or words of knowledge. We receive a perfect, pure filter through which knowledge flows unhindered from the throne of God to us. We receive encoded messages of a sort, which are then unveiled as the Holy Spirit translates these messages to our spirit.
"The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14
If I ever have uncertainties or questions to God, praying in the Spirit removes any 'spiritual fog' that might be resisting me. A friend of mine prays in the Spirit when they need a dream interpreted by the Lord. Aligning with the Spirit via tongues brings deception and confusion under submission to Christ.
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5
Tongues are divinely powerful. They serve as a truth filter! Revelation from tongues reveals the pure truth. Praying in the Spirit removes the influence of the flesh, which after all profits nothing (John 6:63). This is a way that we can prove the will of God.
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2
