Let me tell you the difference between praying in tongues as intersession and enquiry.
There is a prayer language for your spiritual building and edification and the prayer that is for reception.
1. When you pray the prayer of enquiry, the prayer you receive from God is not the kind of prayer you pray with aggression.
Your mind has to be alert.
Listen carefully.
There are certain kinds of prayer that the power of God comes upon you and you exert energy because of the gravity of what is happening in the spirit.
But when you want to receive direction from God, that kind of tongues is prayers with your mind alert to what is happening as you are activating certain things, ideas will be coming.
It’s not the kind of tongues that you go to the forest alone and be shouting. In this one, you are praying and receiving at same time.
Something is coming from heaven for you to receive and your mind is alert as you pray.
Your mind must be alert as you pray.
It’s not every kind of prayer you pray that your mind stays alert.
There are times you will pray and sometimes you are not yourself.
Five hours pass and you don’t know.
But if you are praying to activate a mystery, your mind must be alert to receive that which God is bringing.
2. Everything received must be documented or preserved immediately because of the nature of spiritual things.
Spiritual things are very volatile.
You can loose a spiritual information in 5minutes and it will take the grace of God to receive it again.
Sometimes it can be a vision.
That vision you can’t understand it immediately so you find a way of preserving it.
My phone is full of voices of encounters. Sometimes am praying and I record the encounters am having because I know if these things slip, they may never come back again.
Most of you when these kinds of things happen, you say you will wait and finish your 3 hours prayer first and then the more leaves.
And never comes again.
That was a 5 years breakthrough that just disappeared in one second.
You see why prophets were writers?
When am praying, I pray with my books, my pen and phone because there are times I will need to draw, there are times I will need to quickly write ,there are times I will need to quickly record..
I get up in the morning and I find out that writing is too slow.
Sometimes it takes just a second to loose them.
Let me tell you something.
I have gotten informations in pieces that the full picture cane withing the span of 3 years.
Spiritual things are very strange.
You can get one part, you will need to preserve it because the other part will come end of the year and the the last part may come in January and when you put the lives together, you will see a dimension of breakthrough your life will never recover from.
So go to the place of prayer bearing in mind that the purpose of this prayer is to receive a strategy from God.
Am going there Lord to receive. The. You pray and be alert.
There are some times you go to the place of prayer and you find out that the grace to pray supposedly leaves and you can’t pray again.
Don’t just get up and say its a demonic attack.. BE SILENT! HIS VOICE IS COMING..
most of us don’t understand this dynamics of prayer.
There are times you stop praying and will just feel like sitting down quietly, you are even afraid and you don’t want people to think you are not serious.
You see the mistake we make? When we get to the place of prayer we just shut down every voice and shout at the top of our voice just to make sure everyone notices that we are praying to justify our spirituality but we are cheating ourselves of dimensions.
There are times you can go to pray and nobody will hear you.
You have not even started the prayer yet you are sitting down writing for two hours things that you yourself don’t understand.
One day God will say, REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU. GO TO YOUR BOOK AND OPEN PAGE 75 AND CHECK THE LAST COLUMN.. That’s THE ANSWER TO WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
