WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.799
You pray it and he can answer it. The effectual

00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:07.280
fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:10.460
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:13.060
so that he can answer it. Goes into the hearts

00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:15.880
of the people, doesn't return void, it produces

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:22.379
results. Welcome to Prayer and Purpose and I'm

00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:26.320
your host, Margie Florent. Today on this broadcast,

00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.030
I'm gonna be teaching you on the purpose and

00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:34.530
the power of praying in other tongues our last

00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:37.810
episode we talked about the baptism of the holy

00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:41.969
spirit and that the outward manifestation of

00:00:41.969 --> 00:00:44.950
being filled with the holy spirit is speaking

00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:47.609
with other tongues and so we're going to dive

00:00:47.609 --> 00:00:52.329
into why it's so powerful that we use and stir

00:00:52.329 --> 00:00:57.299
up heavenly language but before we do by way

00:00:57.299 --> 00:00:59.820
of introduction I just want to say that when

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:03.500
we pray in tongues or exercise our heavenly language

00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:07.579
this heavenly language can be used for the prayer

00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:11.980
of intercession the prayer of dedication and

00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:15.819
consecration it could be used in the prayer of

00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:20.090
worship It could be used in times when you just

00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:23.629
don't know how to pray. So there's many reasons

00:01:23.629 --> 00:01:27.709
why a person needs to stir up and exercise their

00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:31.549
prayer language once they have received the baptism

00:01:31.549 --> 00:01:34.629
of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking

00:01:34.629 --> 00:01:39.290
with other tongues. Now, Jesus spoke often about

00:01:39.290 --> 00:01:43.290
the Holy Spirit and his coming. The New Testament.

00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:50.049
uh the holy spirit is actually spoken of 264

00:01:50.049 --> 00:01:55.349
times and 60 or more the holy spirit is spoken

00:01:55.349 --> 00:02:00.269
of in the gospels um as a matter of fact jesus

00:02:00.269 --> 00:02:04.200
the very last words he spoke before he went up

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.299
into the clouds was he said listen he told the

00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:10.680
disciples don't do anything don't go anywhere

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:16.990
until you be endued with power from on high You're

00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:21.129
going to receive the Holy Spirit, but wait to

00:02:21.129 --> 00:02:24.430
the promise that I'm telling you about. Stay

00:02:24.430 --> 00:02:28.449
and don't do anything until he is manifested

00:02:28.449 --> 00:02:32.370
on the earth. So the very last words that Jesus

00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:37.840
spoke of was about the Holy Spirit. and his coming.

00:02:38.099 --> 00:02:41.319
Now, when the day of Pentecost had fully come,

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.080
you can read it in Acts chapter two, verse one

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.219
through four. When the day of Pentecost had fully

00:02:47.219 --> 00:02:50.240
come, the Bible says that they were all in one

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.680
place, in one accord. They were waiting on God,

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:56.560
waiting on the Lord. And what happened is the

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.259
Holy Spirit was poured out. And we call this

00:03:00.259 --> 00:03:03.759
the birth of the church age. And the Holy Spirit

00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.860
was poured out. And the very first thing that

00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:11.840
happened and was manifested was that they were

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.240
all filled with the Holy Spirit. and began to

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.759
speak with tongues as the spirit gave them utterance

00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.780
so the baptismal he spirit and the release of

00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:28.000
tongues was very important at the birth of the

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:33.219
church age okay so i was recently speaking in

00:03:33.219 --> 00:03:36.479
a church And I was talking on the subject of

00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.960
tongues that we're talking about today. And the

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.780
spirit of prophecy came upon me. And the Lord

00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:45.180
said to us, he said, there is going to come a

00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:49.819
surge of tongues into my church, into my body.

00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:53.180
And the Lord said that many have neglected their

00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:55.539
prayer language. They've not understood their

00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:59.219
prayer language. They don't know why. The Holy

00:03:59.219 --> 00:04:01.699
Spirit was poured out when the Spirit of God

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:05.939
manifested Himself by releasing tongues into

00:04:05.939 --> 00:04:08.319
the earth. He said, but there's going to be a

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.340
surge of tongues released into the body of Christ.

00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:16.279
He said, because I... I am going to be doing

00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.060
in these last days some great and mighty things.

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.920
And therefore, I need my people to stir up their

00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.680
prayer language because I need them to begin

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.220
to pray in the Holy Ghost, stir up their prayer

00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:35.180
language. So it can once again prepare the way.

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.759
It can once again cause that which I desire to

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.300
do to become manifested into the earth. And I

00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:47.470
think we've come out of a season. where people

00:04:47.470 --> 00:04:50.490
have been in what we called seeker -friendly

00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:53.230
churches. People weren't speaking in tongues.

00:04:53.430 --> 00:04:55.790
You didn't see any moves of God in the churches.

00:04:56.170 --> 00:04:58.649
There was no falling under the power, no gifts

00:04:58.649 --> 00:05:00.870
of the Spirit in operation. But my friends, I

00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:04.709
just want you to know that all that is in the

00:05:04.709 --> 00:05:08.379
process. Of changing. And I don't know why I'm

00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:10.500
hearing in my spirit right now. The Bible says

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:14.839
Jeremiah 33, three call upon me and I will answer

00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.319
you and show you great and mighty things. So

00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.500
God desires to show us great and mighty things,

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.800
but we've got to dive in deeper in our prayer

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.420
life. We've got to begin to stir up our prayer

00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:30.600
language, stir up the gift of tongues that he

00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.819
has given to us. Those of us that have received

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:37.139
the baptism, the Holy. spirit also i would just

00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:39.620
like to share with you that in our meetings on

00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:43.019
the road we're seeing a lot of hungry believers

00:05:43.019 --> 00:05:46.949
we're seeing a lot of hungry christians And they're

00:05:46.949 --> 00:05:50.589
coming forward and they're desiring to be baptized

00:05:50.589 --> 00:05:53.790
with the Holy Spirit. And we're seeing lines

00:05:53.790 --> 00:05:57.670
of people asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit

00:05:57.670 --> 00:06:02.529
and releasing their prayer language. So we're

00:06:02.529 --> 00:06:05.449
already seeing this surge of tongues beginning

00:06:05.449 --> 00:06:08.910
to manifest in the church. And I'm very excited

00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:12.120
about it because I feel like. The body of Christ

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.860
in a measure has been somewhat bored with church

00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:19.480
as usual. Well, God by his spirit, by the Holy

00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.000
Spirit is going to be invading our services,

00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:26.420
invading our homes, invading our prayer meetings,

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.920
because yes, I'm hearing it. He desires to show

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.939
us some great and mighty things. So I'm going

00:06:34.939 --> 00:06:37.819
to talk to you in this broadcast on the power

00:06:37.819 --> 00:06:42.000
and the purpose. of praying in tongues but before

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.500
we do i have to just say this because some people

00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:49.100
have come to me with this question or with this

00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:51.800
comment they've said to me well margie you know

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.639
it's just not my gift it's not my gift it's not

00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.319
my gift to speak in tongues well i have two answers

00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:04.019
to that number one The Lord, the disciples came

00:07:04.019 --> 00:07:07.100
to a group of believers and he said to the disciples,

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:10.699
have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?

00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.100
And they said, we have not so much as heard whether

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:17.759
there be any Holy Ghost. And the Bible says that

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.420
they laid hands on them, Acts 19, and they released

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:24.060
their prayer language. So they were believers.

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.899
but they had not yet received the Holy Ghost,

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.199
meaning the empowerment from on high, the baptism

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.160
of the Holy Ghost, meaning that which is within

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.720
them rising up like John 7, 38 and flowing up

00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:45.300
out of them. So this gift of tongues is for every

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:49.379
believer. The Bible says these signs will follow

00:07:49.379 --> 00:07:54.329
them, accompany them that. believe, March 16th,

00:07:54.370 --> 00:08:00.670
they will speak with other tongues. So speaking

00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:04.069
in tongues is for every believer. It is, yes,

00:08:04.069 --> 00:08:06.990
your gift. God has not chosen one over here,

00:08:07.050 --> 00:08:09.029
one over there to have this prayer language.

00:08:09.230 --> 00:08:14.410
No, this release of your prayer language is for

00:08:14.410 --> 00:08:16.410
all. We're going to go ahead. We're going to

00:08:16.410 --> 00:08:19.529
dive into another scripture to prove to you that

00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:22.699
this is for you, but First we're going to take

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:28.699
a break. Early in 2025 I had a dream that I'd

00:08:28.699 --> 00:08:31.379
like to share with you. I dreamed I was a guest

00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:34.539
speaker in a church. During the preaching I had

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:37.799
a vision of a great ship. I saw the ship going

00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.240
straight and it was moving fast and furious ahead

00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.120
on the water. Then I saw the ship suddenly turning

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.120
to the right. I said to the people, the ship

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.179
is turning, but we must continue to pray into

00:08:51.179 --> 00:08:54.379
it. It's not in time to stop praying. I could

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:56.980
see that the ship was turning and the church

00:08:56.980 --> 00:09:00.559
was at the helm of the ship. causing the ship

00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:04.539
to turn. Upon awakening, God gave me an assignment,

00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.080
and the assignment was, and still is, to mobilize

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:12.500
prayer. We are praying together on our KIU prayer

00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:15.740
conference call. I would love it if you could

00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:18.980
join us. If you'd like more information, go to

00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:23.120
my website at martyferrant .org or the number

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.399
is on the screen. I look forward to praying with

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:35.100
you. Now let's go back to the broadcast. Okay,

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.179
let's continue. For those of you that think...

00:09:38.429 --> 00:09:41.009
that speaking in tongues is, quote, not your

00:09:41.009 --> 00:09:43.950
gift. I'll tell you where you've heard teaching

00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:47.009
on that. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians chapter

00:09:47.009 --> 00:09:51.289
12, now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren,

00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:55.070
I do not want you to be ignorant. Another translation

00:09:55.070 --> 00:09:58.809
says, actually in the Greek, now concerning things

00:09:58.809 --> 00:10:03.570
pertaining to and of the Holy Spirit, I don't

00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:07.289
want you to be ignorant. And he goes on, he begins

00:10:07.289 --> 00:10:11.049
to teach us about the gifts of the Spirit, the

00:10:11.049 --> 00:10:14.269
manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit. And

00:10:14.269 --> 00:10:17.629
it says here in verse 7, it says here, but the

00:10:17.629 --> 00:10:21.690
manifestation of the Spirit is given to each

00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:27.769
one for the profit of all, for to one is given

00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:33.019
by the Spirit the word of wisdom. Now, just really

00:10:33.019 --> 00:10:34.940
quick, this is not our teaching. The word of

00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:40.019
wisdom is knowledge given to a person of things

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:44.399
pertaining to things that have not yet been born,

00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:47.519
things that are not yet revealed, things that

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.919
have not yet come to pass. In other words, things

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.460
pertaining to and of the future. So he said,

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:57.039
for to one is given the word of wisdom through

00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.960
the spirit to another, the word of knowledge.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.120
Now the word of knowledge is things pertaining

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.059
to things that are in the present and things

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:08.000
that have happened in the past. It's not a whole

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.080
sentence. It's a word of what God knows about

00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:16.639
a particular situation, circumstance. Okay. And

00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.120
then it says, To another, faith by the same spirit.

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:24.000
To another, gifts of healings by the same spirit.

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:27.960
To another, the working of miracles by the same

00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.159
spirit. These are what we call the power gifts.

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.720
The gift of faith, gifts of healings, and the

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.259
working of miracles. These are the gifts that

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:39.019
Catherine Coleman had in manifestation in her

00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:42.940
ministry, okay? God just decided, I'm going to

00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:46.379
empower this woman with the power gifts because...

00:11:47.009 --> 00:11:50.690
This is going to equip her to win souls, okay?

00:11:50.769 --> 00:11:53.429
Because the Bible says many believed on Jesus

00:11:53.429 --> 00:11:56.350
because of the miracles. So miracles are basically

00:11:56.350 --> 00:11:59.570
signs pointing to that Jesus is still alive,

00:11:59.850 --> 00:12:03.769
that he is the way, the truth, and the life.

00:12:03.889 --> 00:12:07.629
So this is the gifts that God gives to an individual,

00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:11.450
a ministry, and it empowers them, and it's for

00:12:11.450 --> 00:12:14.409
public assembly. It's for people, for other people.

00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:18.139
and then it goes on to say to another prophecy

00:12:18.139 --> 00:12:23.360
to another discerning of spirits to another different

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:29.039
kinds of tongues to another interpretation of

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.279
tongues but one and the same same spirit works

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.159
all these things distributing to them severally

00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.200
as he wills so that's where people get the idea

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.899
well this tongues isn't for me because it's quote

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:47.990
not my gift but what is god is saying is This

00:12:47.990 --> 00:12:51.850
particular gift of diverse kinds of tongues is

00:12:51.850 --> 00:12:55.129
for public assembly. In other words, a person

00:12:55.129 --> 00:12:59.230
will have an unction or an anointing to speak

00:12:59.230 --> 00:13:02.830
in tongues. And then someone comes along or that

00:13:02.830 --> 00:13:07.129
person and interprets what was spoken in tongues.

00:13:07.289 --> 00:13:10.289
And they have a gift. It's a gift of tongues.

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.919
an interpretation of tongues and so that's their

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:18.100
gift and not everybody has that gift i personally

00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:22.340
operate a lot in tongues and interpretation actually

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:26.120
now more than ever operate in prophecy but in

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.679
essence tongues and interpretation of tongues

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.279
equals prophecy i said all that to say that the

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.639
the baptism of the holy spirit with evidence

00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:41.419
of speaking in other tongues is for every single

00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:45.620
believer that desires to have this release of

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:48.019
their prayer language. The Apostle Paul said,

00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.740
I thank my God. I speak in tongues more than

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:55.700
you all. So he stirred up the gift of God that

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:58.600
was within him. He exercised his prayer language.

00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.639
And we're going to get into it, but there was

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:06.029
reasons. why the Apostle Paul exercised his prayer

00:14:06.029 --> 00:14:08.389
language. I'll just put one of them out here

00:14:08.389 --> 00:14:11.570
right now. The Apostle Paul wrote two -thirds

00:14:11.570 --> 00:14:14.490
of the New Testament. So he had a lot of wisdom.

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.580
He had a lot of revelation. He had a lot of insight

00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:21.620
into the scriptures. And that's the beauty of

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:24.299
the baptism of the Holy Spirit. For me personally,

00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.000
when I first got filled with the Holy Spirit,

00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:32.139
I was born again. I was a child of God. I understood

00:14:32.139 --> 00:14:34.860
the heart of the Father to a degree. But when

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:36.840
I got filled with the Holy Spirit and released

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.840
my prayer language, suddenly the Word of God

00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.350
opened up to me. It opened up to me with... what

00:14:43.350 --> 00:14:46.330
we would call revelation. Things that were written

00:14:46.330 --> 00:14:50.570
just came alive. And I saw things with the eyes

00:14:50.570 --> 00:14:53.730
of my spirit that I had never seen before. And

00:14:53.730 --> 00:14:56.610
the baptism of the Holy Spirit will open up the

00:14:56.610 --> 00:15:00.850
door for you to have more revelation in the Word

00:15:00.850 --> 00:15:03.830
of God. Okay, so we're going to talk more about

00:15:03.830 --> 00:15:07.110
the purpose and the power of praying in tongues.

00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:11.419
One reason that it's important for all of us

00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:13.139
to be filled with the Holy Spirit and release

00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:17.679
our prayer language is because it is a supernatural

00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:23.340
means of communication. It's supernatural. You're

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:26.019
not praying from your mind. You're not praying

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:29.059
from your intellect. You're not praying with

00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:32.210
knowledge that you know in your head. in your

00:15:32.210 --> 00:15:35.470
thought life you are praying with the knowledge

00:15:35.470 --> 00:15:39.429
that god knows and the solution to that knowledge

00:15:39.429 --> 00:15:42.529
or if you have a question as to what god knows

00:15:42.529 --> 00:15:48.250
so it is a super natural means of communication

00:15:48.250 --> 00:15:52.509
the bible says in first corinthians 14 2 for

00:15:52.509 --> 00:15:56.850
he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men

00:15:56.850 --> 00:16:02.990
but to god For no one understands him. However,

00:16:03.149 --> 00:16:07.470
in the spirit, he speaks mysteries. Another translation

00:16:07.470 --> 00:16:12.350
says divine secrets. So when you exercise your

00:16:12.350 --> 00:16:14.750
prayer language and you pray in tongues or you

00:16:14.750 --> 00:16:18.350
pray in the spirit, you are speaking to God.

00:16:18.929 --> 00:16:25.070
I love this. The language of heaven. The Lord

00:16:25.070 --> 00:16:28.450
spoke to me one day. He said, Margie, many of

00:16:28.450 --> 00:16:31.750
my people desire to be intimate with me. They

00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:34.570
desire to spend time with me. They desire to

00:16:34.570 --> 00:16:38.710
have a vibrant prayer life, but they just don't

00:16:38.710 --> 00:16:42.490
know where to begin. They just don't know how

00:16:42.490 --> 00:16:45.850
to start. So I wrote this book with that in mind.

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.500
Encountering God through prayer. Simple strategies

00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:54.100
to develop a powerful prayer life. I take the

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:57.620
reader from the very basics. Begin where you

00:16:57.620 --> 00:17:02.139
are. Begin with 15 minutes. Find a quiet place

00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:06.319
in your house. Go into a closet if you have to.

00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:10.900
Shut the door. Just begin where you are. And

00:17:10.900 --> 00:17:14.500
I teach the reader about the heart of the Father.

00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:18.200
Because if you don't know who God is, you're

00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.680
not going to understand His character and His

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:24.000
nature, and you'll be afraid of Him. So I go

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.299
into the heart of the Father. Who is the Father?

00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:30.160
What's His character? What's His nature? And

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.339
then I take the reader all the way up into...

00:17:33.950 --> 00:17:37.970
what I call contemplative prayer. So if you would

00:17:37.970 --> 00:17:41.970
like a wonderful resource on how to begin your

00:17:41.970 --> 00:17:45.089
prayer life, I encourage you to get this book,

00:17:45.250 --> 00:17:48.630
Encountering God Through Prayer. Go to my website

00:17:48.630 --> 00:17:58.390
at margieflaurent .org. Welcome back. Let's continue.

00:17:58.769 --> 00:18:02.630
So we said that your spirit is praying or...

00:18:02.670 --> 00:18:07.170
communicating with God. Can you imagine when

00:18:07.170 --> 00:18:09.410
you pray in tongues, any kind of prayer you pray

00:18:09.410 --> 00:18:13.230
anyway, when it's projected to God, he hears

00:18:13.230 --> 00:18:16.509
you, right? But when you pray in tongues, you

00:18:16.509 --> 00:18:21.230
are praying or you're communicating to God. And

00:18:21.230 --> 00:18:26.000
it is like we said, the language. heaven. Let's

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.480
read first Corinthians 14, 14 and 15. It says

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.980
here, if I pray in a tongue, my spirit praise,

00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:40.160
my spirit praise. Remember we said you are a

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:45.859
spirit, my spirit praise. Your spirit man is

00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:50.720
the real you. So when you pray in tongues, my

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:55.950
spirit. Like we said in the last broadcast, but

00:18:55.950 --> 00:18:59.450
you do the speaking. God uses your voice, your

00:18:59.450 --> 00:19:04.390
vocal cords, but it's your spirit praying. But

00:19:04.390 --> 00:19:07.089
he's praying through you, through your mouth,

00:19:07.150 --> 00:19:08.990
through your vocal cords, through your body.

00:19:09.089 --> 00:19:14.509
And you are communicating with God. So if I pray

00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:18.980
in a tongue, my spirit prays. But my understanding

00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:22.619
is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:28.579
will pray with the spirit and I will pray with

00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:31.160
the understanding. And then he goes on to say,

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:36.240
I will sing with the spirit. I will sing with

00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:39.599
the understanding. I want you to notice he said,

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.680
I will pray. So those of you that have not yet

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.380
released your prayer language. I want you to

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:49.839
notice these two words that might help you in

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.319
understanding that the Holy Spirit is not going

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.779
to come upon you and make you say or do something

00:19:57.779 --> 00:20:01.700
you don't want to say or do. You have to yield

00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:05.920
to him. You have to yield over to the Holy Spirit.

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.900
When you sense something on the inside of you

00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:12.950
rising up, it's almost like a bubbling up. of

00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:17.509
you it's up to you to release that language through

00:20:17.509 --> 00:20:21.390
your voice through your vocal cords notice he

00:20:21.390 --> 00:20:27.130
said I will pray with the spirit I will pray

00:20:27.130 --> 00:20:30.309
with the understanding also and then he says

00:20:30.309 --> 00:20:33.450
I can also sing with the spirit I can sing in

00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:36.549
tongues I can sing with the understanding also

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:40.000
Have you ever been in a church service where

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.980
everyone was singing, you know, the hymns and

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:46.059
the songs and they were all in their known language?

00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.359
Or if you're in the United States of America,

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:51.880
the English language or Spanish, whatever, they're

00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.940
singing in their known tongue. But then there's

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:57.700
another language that goes beyond the language

00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:01.170
from this earth. And it's tongues. And then everybody

00:21:01.170 --> 00:21:04.089
just begins to sing in tongues. And it's such

00:21:04.089 --> 00:21:06.369
a beautiful thing when everyone releases their

00:21:06.369 --> 00:21:09.690
prayer language together because it sounds so

00:21:09.690 --> 00:21:12.890
beautiful. And there's a harmony about it. There's

00:21:12.890 --> 00:21:15.150
a symphony about it. It's beautiful. If you've

00:21:15.150 --> 00:21:20.099
ever experienced anything like that. I just think

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:22.680
it's one of the most amazing things and amazing

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.180
times of worship when we're all singing in tongues,

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:29.480
singing in the spirit. Let's look at 1 Corinthians

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.859
14, 14. Here's the amplified. For if I pray in

00:21:34.859 --> 00:21:37.579
an unknown tongue, my spirit, and listen how

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:41.500
it says, by the Holy Spirit within me prays.

00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:46.960
but my mind is unproductive. So you can be singing

00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.539
in tongues or speaking in tongues or praying

00:21:49.539 --> 00:21:51.799
in tongues, but your mind doesn't understand

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.000
what you're saying. Your mind is unproductive,

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.839
but you're producing results in the realm of

00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:02.599
the spirit when you are praying in tongues, whether

00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.400
you think you are or not, whether you feel like

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.900
you are. or not. You're praying the language

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:12.440
of heaven and this kind of prayer is powerful.

00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:17.200
So your spirit by the Holy Spirit within you

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.079
is speaking to God. You are not praying from

00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:26.180
your mind. This is a pure and very unselfish

00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:31.019
prayer. You are not praying your own will on

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:35.619
a person or even for yourself. You are praying

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:41.240
in line with the will of God, and it is a very

00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.980
pure prayer. There is no pride involved, no reason,

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:50.880
no selfish ambition. It is a pure language that

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:55.180
originates from the heart of God back to the

00:22:55.180 --> 00:23:00.119
heart of God. And as a result, he accomplishes

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.700
his will in the earth on the behalf of another.

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:06.599
if that's the prayer focus when you pray in tongues,

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:11.299
or even in your own life when you release it.

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:15.039
Bill Hammond once said, those who have been born

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.559
of the Spirit and baptized with the Spirit receive

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.519
a spirit language. This gives the believer a

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.720
private communication line direct to God's throne,

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.700
which cannot be understood or hindered by the

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:34.579
devil or natural man. It's like having one's

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:38.849
own private cell phone to heaven. However, it

00:23:38.849 --> 00:23:48.069
is more designed to be used for more than communication

00:23:48.069 --> 00:23:52.730
to God in prayer. So this language has a lot

00:23:52.730 --> 00:23:56.710
of reasons that we need to do in releasing it.

00:23:56.910 --> 00:24:00.890
So praying in tongues is also praying in line

00:24:00.890 --> 00:24:05.940
with God's perfect will, purpose, We're going

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:08.380
to go ahead and we're going to read from Romans

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:14.740
8. Verse 26 says, Likewise, the Spirit also helps

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:18.900
in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:22.519
should pray for as we ought. Notice it says we

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.180
do not know what we should pray. We know how

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:27.660
to pray. We need to be praying more in tongues.

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:33.039
But sometimes we don't know what we should pray

00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:38.509
for. But the Spirit himself makes intercession

00:24:38.509 --> 00:24:42.349
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

00:24:42.349 --> 00:24:46.349
Now he who searches the hearts knows what the

00:24:46.349 --> 00:24:50.630
mind of the Spirit is because he makes intercession

00:24:50.630 --> 00:24:54.269
for the saints according to the will of God.

00:24:54.950 --> 00:24:58.970
What's the result? And we know that all things

00:24:58.970 --> 00:25:01.549
work together for the good to those who love

00:25:01.549 --> 00:25:04.829
God, to those who are the called according to

00:25:04.829 --> 00:25:09.630
his purpose. So when we pray in tongues, we are

00:25:09.630 --> 00:25:14.630
praying according to the will of God. So we're

00:25:14.630 --> 00:25:17.289
not deviating from the will of God when we pray

00:25:17.289 --> 00:25:21.750
in tongues. We are praying his plans. We are

00:25:21.750 --> 00:25:25.130
praying his purposes. We are praying according

00:25:25.130 --> 00:25:29.210
to his will. I like to put it like this. Now,

00:25:29.230 --> 00:25:32.369
some of you will not know what this is, but those

00:25:32.369 --> 00:25:35.150
of you that are a little older will remember

00:25:35.150 --> 00:25:38.670
when we used to play darts. Okay. The dart, there

00:25:38.670 --> 00:25:40.990
was a dart board. You'd put it up on the wall

00:25:40.990 --> 00:25:43.769
and you'd have these little darts and you'd throw

00:25:43.769 --> 00:25:47.440
that dart. And the goal was to hit the center

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:52.099
right on. When you pray in tongues, you're like

00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:56.220
that person with the dart. You're shooting that

00:25:56.220 --> 00:26:00.140
dart and you're hitting the target center right

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:03.799
on. You are not missing the mark when you pray

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:08.119
in the Holy Ghost. You're praying accurately

00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:13.670
and you're praying. according to the will of

00:26:13.670 --> 00:26:16.710
God. So thank you for joining me in this broadcast.

00:26:17.089 --> 00:26:20.029
We're going to pick it up in our next broadcast,

00:26:20.089 --> 00:26:23.630
and we're going to continue to teach on the power

00:26:23.630 --> 00:26:28.509
and the purpose of praying in tongues. My book

00:26:28.509 --> 00:26:31.230
contend stewarding the hearts and destinies of

00:26:31.230 --> 00:26:33.990
our children through prayer is one of my most

00:26:33.990 --> 00:26:38.509
favorite projects thus far in this book. I teach

00:26:38.509 --> 00:26:42.309
the reader how to pray effectively for their

00:26:42.309 --> 00:26:45.450
children, their grandchildren and the rising

00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:48.410
generations that are in the earth today. Make

00:26:48.410 --> 00:26:51.890
no mistake about it. There is war over the hearts

00:26:51.890 --> 00:26:55.009
and the destinies of our children. And this book

00:26:55.009 --> 00:26:58.569
will equip you as to how. to pray effectively

00:26:58.569 --> 00:27:01.890
for those young people. In this book, I teach

00:27:01.890 --> 00:27:04.430
you about the power and the purpose of praying

00:27:04.430 --> 00:27:07.869
in tongues. I show you what a prayer alert looks

00:27:07.869 --> 00:27:11.230
like. There are sample prayers. Not only that,

00:27:11.450 --> 00:27:14.589
there are outlines at the end of each chapter.

00:27:14.809 --> 00:27:17.789
So if you run a Bible study, you can use this

00:27:17.789 --> 00:27:21.369
book as a springboard to teach others how to

00:27:21.369 --> 00:27:24.509
pray for their children. Go to my website at

00:27:24.509 --> 00:27:28.319
margieflorent .org. and pick up your own copy.

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:38.059
There are several prayers spoken of in the Word

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:42.059
of God. The prayer of intercession is just one

00:27:42.059 --> 00:27:45.119
of those prayers spoken of in Ephesians 6 .18.

00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.859
And this particular book, Marked for Intercession,

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.380
teaches the reader how to pray for your family,

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:55.099
how to pray for your friends, how to stand in

00:27:55.099 --> 00:27:57.599
the gap for a nation, how to pray for leadership,

00:27:57.900 --> 00:28:01.099
and it goes on and on and on. I would encourage

00:28:01.099 --> 00:28:04.619
you to get this book and dive in deep so that

00:28:04.619 --> 00:28:07.460
you can be that man, you could be that woman

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:10.119
that would stand in the gap and put up the hedge

00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.160
and be the love of God expressed in the earth.

00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:16.559

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.380
