Opening the Gates of Heaven Perry Stone

prayer is not just because He is touched by your infirmities and He loves you. He answers for His glory so that you will testify to others and His name will be magnified among the people (Acts 19:17). 12. P RAY IN THE S PIRIT … W ITH THE I NTERPRETATION Dad prayed in the Spirit, and he interpreted his prayer language. This was the real secret of my father’s deep spiritual walk with God—he prayed much of his prayer in the prayer language of the Holy Spirit. He would always begin praying in his native English language, calling on the heavenly Father, praying the Lord’s Prayer, and entering the gate of heaven into the throne room with worship and words of understanding. At some point deep in prayer, he would begin to pray in the languages imparted to him by the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4; 10:46; 19:6). It was during this time of “praying in the Spirit” (1 Cor. 14:2) that the Holy Spirit spoke to him and brought him instruction, sometimes for the church, for himself, or for the family. Sometimes the Spirit brought warnings of coming danger or insight into events about to transpire. He also believed strongly in the gift of interpreting what the Spirit was saying. I will spend an entire chapter explaining the importance and significance of the prayer language of the Spirit and interpreting the words the Spirit is speaking.
