The Importance of Praying in Tongues

I want to explain to you the importance of praying in tongues.  Jesus said that a time has come and now is that the true worshipers will worship God in SPIRIT and in TRUTH.  The only way that you can worship God in SPIRIT is if you have received the HOLY SPIRIT through the baptism in the Holy Spirit.  When you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit you also receive the gift of tongues, of praying in tongues.  Now when you pray in tongues, you are speaking mysteries to God. Your mind is unfruitful, you don’t know what you are saying because the Spirit of God prays together with your spirit.  You are speaking these syllables and because the Holy Spirit knows what God wants to pray through you, He intercedes through you and with you with groanings that cannot be uttered by words. He prays according to the will of God, through us, but you don't know what you are praying because you are speaking mysteries to God, the Spirit of God, praying in and through you. And while you are praying in tongues, your mind is unfruitful, it is not working, but you focus your mind on Christ. Because your mind is unfruitful, you are not thinking about other things, you are focused on Christ and then the Holy Spirit imparts to you, to your mind that is opened and receptive and focused on Christ; He puts revelation in your mind and you receive the MIND OF CHRIST. He tells you mysteries. He teaches you the same as Paul himself was taught by the Holy Spirit. He was taught by Jesus Himself because the Holy Spirit conveys that which Christ wants to tell us. He gives us guidance, He teaches us, He reprimands us, He reveals to us the will of God. He shows to us the Kingdom of God. That is why Jesus said that if a person is not born again he cannot SEE the kingdom of God.
If you are not born of the Spirit and the Holy Spirit of God does not live in you, you cannot receive that revelation and perceive the Kingdom of God – you don't have spiritual perception. And that is why we need the Holy Spirit, and that is why we need to pray in tongues. We need to PRAY IN SPIRIT, the Holy Spirit of God together with my spirit, and IN TRUTH! I need to be focused on Him while I am praying, INTENSELY PRAYING! You cannot enter that intensity of prayer without the Holy Spirit of God, you cannot do it on your own you cannot do it from your mind. You need the Spirit of God to pray together with your spirit.
Dear friends, Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Helper, to guide us, to teach us, to tell us things to come. You cannot do it without the Holy Spirit, you need the Holy Spirit. YOU CANNOT PRAY IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, you cannot receive the mind of Christ, if you have not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and if you do not pray in the Spirit, intercede in the Spirit! That is how you are unified with Christ, through His Spirit that He puts in you.
Paul writes: “If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him”(Romans 8:9) He says in Romans 8:14 “those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Jesus said, as John wrote in John 10:27 “My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they follow Me.” You cannot listen if you do not have spiritual perception, if you have not received the Holy Spirit of God. That is why, my friend, you need to REPENT, turn away form sin and you need to accept Jesus with everything that is within you and be BORN AGAIN of water and of the Spirit of God. You are born again of water when you obey Him and you are baptized in water and then He promises you the Holy Spirit to FILL you and then the Holy Spirit of God will pray in you IF you exercise the Spirit of God in you, if you PRAY IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. The Lord our God I seeking worshipers, that worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Have you received the Holy Spirit and do you worship Him  IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH?
May Jesus bless you.
