“But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.” (Jude 20)
Jude wrote that build up our faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. A major part of praying in the Holy Spirit is praying in tongues.
Following are seven benefits of praying in tongues.
?1. You declare the wonderful works of God (Acts 2:11).
?2. You magnify God (Acts 10:45-46).
?3. You give God thanks well (1Cor. 14:16-17).
?4. You speak mysteries in the spirit (1Cor. 14:2).
?5. You build yourself up (Jude 1:20; 1Cor. 14:4).
?6. You bypass your limited understanding (1Cor. 14:14).
?7. You pray according to the will of God (Rom. 8:26-27; 1Jn. 5:14-15).
Paul wrote, “I wish you all spoke with tongues, … I think my God I speak in tongues more than you all” (1Cor. 14:5, 18).
For the above reasons, I encourage you to speak in tongues more than you currently do!
