The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

again. Praying in the Holy Ghost, for explanative purposes, is the communication of the divine language of the Godhead. Moreover, it encompasses every tongue that has ever been spoken on the planet since the creation of Adam and those that are yet to come. See Genesis 10:20, 31; Psalm 55:9. Also review Mark 16:17; Acts 2–4 and 11. Praying in the Holy Ghost accesses the communications network of the spirit world and allows conversation between the Lord and His saints, Spirit to spirit. It also enables God’s protocratic agents to hear from the heart of the saints what they really need and want, and receive it consistent with the will of the Lord concerning them. Acts 10:46; 19:6. See Praying in Other Tongues and Speaking in Other Tongues. 1043. Praying in Other Tongues—Referred to as praying in the Spirit. Praying in other tongues allows the New Creation saint to communicate in the language of the supernatural and effectually charge, reprimand, and overrule the agents of darkness. It also permits God’s children to produce from the Spirit world the immaterial, yet existing, blessings and provisions the Lord has provided via the New Covenant in His blood. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, offhandedly divulged that the language of tongues includes the tongues of men and of angels in his treatise on the superiority of love over spiritual gifts. By this he let it be known that not only did the angels of God sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation have the means of effectively communicating their need using every tongue ever spoken on earth, but that they had the resources to convey them in every language of creation as well. See also 1 Corinthians 12:10, 28, 30, 13:1, and 14:2–6, 18, 21. Beyond that, definitively speaking, there is apparently a difference between praying in other tongues and speaking in other tongues. Praying in tongues involves the classic elements of prayer as discussed in Scripture, with one exception: It is not in the native language of the person praying. The distinction becomes important once one understands the purpose of the two (the native language and tongues). Praying in other tongues integrates the actions of the Holy Spirit resident in the worshipper who, according to Romans 8:26, helps our infirmities; that is, the Holy Spirit overcomes our human lack of spiritual strength to tackle the matters that drive us to prayer. Infirmities, as meant in this passage, include feebleness of mind due to emotional duress or simple mental fatigue caused by intense and relentless trials and tribulations, along with spiritual naïvete concerning God and His kingdom ways.
