Praying in tongues is praying in the Spirit… Praying in the Spirit can also be by revelation.
It’s when the New Man prays. The New Man is born of water and the Spirit… we are spiritual beings. When we pray in tongues, we speak out mysteries of God into manifestation! Speaking in tongues is when the we ‘call forth those things that be not, as though they are’ by the Spirit. Every audible word bypasses the physical mind and materialises spiritual realities in our favour! The logical mind doesn’t need to comprehend spiritual realities unless necessary – that’s when the interpretation of tongues is given.
It’s the fruit of the Spirit.. it’s not our fruit! The fruit of the Spirit is not ours to bear – it is the Spirit of God within us who bears the fruit and manifests it. All that’s required from us is to let Him do it! We are made one with the Spirit of God. That is what being born again means. We have received the Life of God and now we are one with that Life. The Fruit Of The Spirit are by-products of being born again. We cannot be filled with the Spirit and not be filled with the fruit. It’s another thing, that we tend to interfere with the manifestation of the fruit – but it’s all placed within our being.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil brought about condemnation and guilt in man. Man was subjected to a life of choosing between right and wrong. The purpose of life changed from originally enjoying a relationship with God, to having to choose between good and evil to survive. Jesus restored all things to where the New Man is now living in the abundance of life. Jesus is the Tree of Life.
We can only believe information we have received. There are only two sources of information – the physical world, and the Father. The world can only give us information about the physical realm. It cannot reveal Spiritual realities. Only the Spirit can give us Revelation about Eternity – our identity and Jesus! Our belief system is a product of the information we receive, and our lives are a product of our belief system!
When you inhabit the Father, there is no urgency! There is no pressure to perform or produce. Inhabiting the Father is: living by the Spirit. He produces the fruit – you just go along for the ride and watch Him live through you. Your life must be a response to His leading. Being led by him never binds you with a need to produce anything. Living in the Spirit means to cooperate with what He is leading you to do, when He wants you to do it – this is when you see the greatest results.
The bible was written by men. It was the experiences of men who spent their lives in relationship with God. It is written to show us what God does, not to reveal who He is. The revelation of Him comes through an intimate, personal relationship. He is a person. He reveals Himself through His Holy Spirit in us. You are one with God. You are so one with Him that whatever He does, He does through you. You are a portal that unleashes an eternal reality into this physical world.
