Speaking in Tongues | 21 Amazing Benefits of Praying in Tongues

Several years ago, when I just got saved and filled with the Spirit, my pastor asked me to speak in tongues for an hour every day. I did that faithfully, even though I seemed to struggle for the most part of it.

On the 53rd day or thereabout, the presence of God filled my room and I was caught up to the throne room of God. I saw the form of the Father seated on His throne and a special class of Angels flying in His Holy presence. I heard His ‘voice as of many waters’ speaking to me with a sense of urgency about the assignment He has given me, part of which I am carrying out now by challenging you to go deeper in God.

I can’t begin to discuss how praying for a few hours to several hours daily at different points in my life has shaped my life and ministry, and that, in tandem with God’s ordination.

I dare you to press into deeper dimensions of the person, presence and power of the Holy Spirit by praying in the spirit consistently and journaling your experiences day by day.

Here are 21 amazing benefits of speaking in tongues.

1. Speaking in tongues helps you pray with the extensive vocabulary of heaven in a way that adequately captures the essence and earnestness of your prayers.
2. When you pray in tongues, the Word of God opens up to you. The same Spirit who inspired the written Word will make the scriptures come alive within you.
3. When you pray in tongues consistently, your spirit-man will gain the governing and controlling influence over your sense-ruled self. Your appetite for carnal things would begin to lose its grip.
4. Speaking in tongues is a means of spiritual refreshing, refilling and refuelling. If you ever feel dry, you now know what to do to be restored, revived, recharged, revitalized and refired!
5. When you speak in tongues, you pray, make petitions, send praises, give thanks, and magnify God. What more? You cross hurdles, avoid, circumvent and subvert the plots, ploys and powers of darkness!
6. Speaking in tongues helps you to communicate directly with the God of the Universe. You move past the myriads of angels before and around His throne, you engage with God one-on-one and spirit-to-spirit.
7. Speaking in tongues is communicating with God directly through the highest and most secure end-to-end encryption channel. No one can get in on it, not even satan and his cohorts.
8. Praying in tongues gives God legal access to move mysteriously and miraculously in your life in a way that will render the plans of the enemy null, void, ineffective and inoperative.

10. Speaking in tongues is the best way to give thanks and magnify God.

12. Praying for a protracted period in tongues regularly will provoke recurring flashes of inspiration, cutting-edge innovations, witty ideas and solutions to stubborn problems.
