MORE!
As soon as I completed my previous blog, I knew I had more to share, but alas it has taken me some time to get my computer.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gen. 11:4 - "They said, 'Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” 5 - The Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 - The Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.” 8 - So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. 9 - Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.'
Because the Lord did this, He has given us "great and precious promises to UNDO the confusion: Matthew 18:19 says - “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven." We, who are walking with the Lord, especially as we "pray in the Spirit," are restored from the confusion of language that happened in those days.
If we take the time to study God's word and we know what God says about topics such as "healing, salvation, restoration, and deliverance," then we should have little difficulty praying His WORD in agreement with each other.
Beyond that, Rom. 8:26 says - " In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27- and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."
Therefore, we are encouraged to pray in the Spirit and "be built up" in our most Holy Faith. Jude 1:20 - But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21- keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life."
There are many "benefits" to welcoming the Holy Spirit and His Power including His giftings! I encourage you, who may not have already "tasted and seen that the Lord is good," to invite the OUTPOURING of the Holy Spirit into your life and if it isn't at first evidenced, that you 'may pray in the Holy Spirit or e.g."tongues"' then continue to ask until you receive. "Ask and receive that your joy may be full." John 7:39 -" But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive;" John 16:24 - "Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full."
Blessings to all who will receive this exhortation!
