7.33 Receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
If you have not received the baptism in the Spirit with the new prayer language of tongues, you can ask believers who minister in this area to pray for you. Alternatively, you could pray by faith to receive from Jesus your Baptizer. Find a quiet place to pray the following from your heart:
Heavenly Father,
I desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit so that I can receive empowerment in my Christian walk, and to be an effective witness. Lord Jesus, the Bible says that You are the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit. I receive the infilling of Your Holy Spirit now by faith. I receive this new prayer language of tongues. I thank You Lord, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
When you ask Jesus by faith, you will sense a gentle flow of the Spirit from within you. As the rivers of the Spirit flow out, you will sense the unction to pray in tongues. You can respond in faith by praying aloud as the Spirit gives utterance. Remember that Jesus is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit; we just need to relax, enjoy the moment, and receive.
If you have asked before, you should believe that you have already received. This new prayer language is dormant in you until you pray out in faith. The next step is simply to pray aloud together with friends who can encourage you.
Some could be waiting for God to take control of their tongue rather than praying out in faith. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman. He does not force us, unlike evil spirits who possess people to control their minds and speech. Instead, He empowers us to pray.
The Bible says that we are to speak as the Spirit gives us the utterance (Acts 2:4). The person needs to be encouraged to pray out in faith. Praying with fellow believers in the corporate anointing would provide encouragement.
Let me share another verse to show you that we are in control and we can use this new prayer language at any time. Paul said in 1 Cor 14:15, “I WILL pray with the spirit, and I WILL also pray with the understanding.” It was within Paul’s control whether he prayed in tongues or in the known language.
The Spirit gives the utterance but it is within your control, and you can pray out by faith. Why is this prayer language so important? In the days ahead, I will share about the many benefits of praying in tongue and how this humble prayer language has transformed the spiritual walk of believers. God gives us good things because He loves us.
