Training Points

1 Corinthians 14:4 AMP
He who speaks in a [strange] tongue edifies and improves himself,

Philippians 2:13 AMP
Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.

Praying in Tongues – It's a Growth Activity
Praying in tongues builds us up and strengthens us personally. We simply can't fix our own problems by our own strength, however we can build ourselves up by praying in the spirit. If we want improvement in our personal lives, businesses, relationships, and habits, we must pray in tongues... and practice His presence. The Lord has given us gifts like tongues to be used, and He's essentially saying, "Trust me, use the gifts I've given you and let me work all the while effectually in you to create the power, the ability and desire to accomplish my will."

Our situations are not going to change by our own strength alone, but the further we get into His presence, all that other 'stuff' just melts away. All we have to do is trust and obey, then the Holy Spirit can do the work through us. Think of it this way, imagine your pet's water bowl outside is full of bugs and debris. You could spend the next hour picking out each speck in futility, OR you could take the water hose and just turn it on high and spray it all out--filling the bowl at the same time. The Holy Spirit is like the watering hose. All we have to do is open the valve and let him clean everything out.

Pray in the spirit, speak the word and see all the places you will go!



The Prayer Pulse

Acts 4:29-31 AMP
And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants [full freedom] to declare Your message fearlessly, While You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage.

Isaiah 62:10 AMP
Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Cast up, cast up the highway! Gather out the stones. Lift up a standard or ensign over and for the peoples.

Isaiah 60:1-3 NIV
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

1 Peter 2:2-5 AMP
Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation, Since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord. Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men ]tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God's sight. [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
