What I write in meant to promote impartation to you and me, for us to walk in as we mature as Sons and Daughters. We must be disciplined and make every day count as we move toward spiritual maturity.
I can’t rely on my past achievements and urge you not to look to anyone except Jesus to perfect your walk. The true character of spiritual revelations is that they exalt Christ, not people.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 12:
7 The extraordinary level of the revelations I’ve received is no reason for anyone to exalt me. For this is why a thorn in my flesh was given to me, the Adversary’s messenger sent to harass me, keeping me from becoming arrogant. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to relieve me of this. 9 But He answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and My power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. 10 So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my Love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.
Every morning I spend the first hour praying in Tongues. The reason I do this is because FATHER has revealed Its importance to me. HE imparted the understanding thus I do this in obedience to HIS impartation. This is why I strongly urge you to do the same.
Do I fully understand the ramifications to this act of obedience? No, but I understand that FATHER deems it important so I deem it important. Paul spoke in Tongues “more than you all” so he deemed it important. Why would I argue with The Word?
Over the years, I have heard many arguments against “speaking in Tongues” and these arguments against It come from those who have not been “baptized” in The Holy Spirit. The adversary understands the power of praying in Tongues thus he does not want this reality promoted among believers. Additionally, if you do pray in Tongues, he wants you to do It in minimal fashion.
As for me, it is too late for I know the benefits of praying in this manner. As Paul wrote “When someone speaks in tongues, no one understands a word he says, because he’s not speaking to people, but to God—he is speaking intimate mysteries in the Spirit” and, “The one who speaks in tongues advances his own spiritual progress”.
I need my spirit to progress and mature, how about you?
All of us are dealing with challenges on a daily basis. My wife and I are no different than you in that we are presented with life’s challenges. FATHER didn’t promise HE would eliminate them, but instead HE would help us go through them successfully.
Praying in Tongues on a daily basis makes me more spiritually sensitive and I need that sensitivity. My wife is inherently more spiritually sensitive than me thus I have to discipline myself in this area. Yes, sometimes I am like a “bull in a china closet” and need to slow down. As I have matured, I have thankfully become more attuned to THE SPIRIT rather my own faculties. I suspect Paul dealt with a similar issue.
Why do I share these things? It is to encourage you that you can receive impartation from FATHER just like I have. I willingly admit to my weaknesses so I don’t misrepresent myself as some “exception” to the norm. I choose to state reality instead of some misguided perception.
If I write and share revelation that you believe is beyond your grasp, then what is the point? If what I write keeps you from having to go through some of life’s challenges, then I am pleased. Isn’t that the goal of a teacher? Everything I write is intended to mature all of us together for we are all integral parts of Christ’s Body so let us all become fitly joined together in unity!
