When you pray in tongues, you are praying "in the spirit." Just as your language is the voice of your mind, praying in tongues is the voice of your spirit. It is your spirit speaking mysteries unto God (1 Corinthians 14:2) . The Apostle Paul said, "If I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful" (l Corinthians 14:14). I want to pray with you now to receive the Holy Spirit:

My heavenly Father, I am a believer. I am Your child and You are my Father. Jesus is my Lord. I believe with all my heart that Your Word is true.

Your Word says that if I will ask I will receive the Holy Spirit, so in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, I am asking You to fill me to overflowing with Your precious Holy Spirit.

Jesus, baptize me in the Holy Spirit. Because of Your Word, I believe that I now receive and I thank You for it. I believe that the Holy Spirit is within me and by faith I accept it.

Now, Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise my God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance.

Now, I want you to begin to thank God and praise Him for baptizing you in the Holy Spirit. As you do, there will rise up within your spirit certain words and syllables that are unknown to you, so by faith speak. Don't speak any more of your own language. You can't speak two languages at the same time.

Just begin to speak the syllables that are on your lips. You are like a baby and you will begin by speaking baby-sounding words.

(Remember, you have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.)

From this moment on, you are a Spirit-baptized believer. Jesus said in John 14:16, "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." The Holy Spirit is your Comforter, which means Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby.

You can rely on Him to fulfill all these areas of ministry.

The Holy Spirit was sent to teach you all things, to lead and guide you into all truth (John 14:26, 16:12-13). You are no longer alone. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter Who will abide with you forever!
