Testimony 90. Mei Mei – Praying in the Spirit charges me up and causes sickness to flee

Name: Mei Mei

Location: Singapore
Note: Mei Mei shared this testimony tonight during our Grace Fellowship on 26th March (written by Joshua)

Mei Mei shared that she woke up one morning and knew that her husband was praying in tongues in another room. There was some energy generated in the spiritual realm, or some waves that she could pick up. She checked and indeed her husband was praying.

One day, Mei Mei attended a prayer meeting with some 60 people praying in tongue simultaneously. When this happened, the spiritual energy generated was so strong that she felt it surge within her belly. The tongues that she was praying in changed and she asked the Holy Spirit what language was this. The Holy Spirit told her that it was Hebrew.

She said that as they prayed in tongues, she could see in the spirit realm that the force was driving sickness away from the people. Isn’t that awesome?

When we pray in tongues, it is the Holy Spirit making intercession within us (Romans 8:26-27). There is power (or energy, or waves) in the spirit realm. If there is power when we pray, think about the power when the Holy Spirit prays.

The Bible says that when we pray in tongues, we receive edification. 1 Cor 14:4, “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself…” To edify is to charge up – like charging up a battery. When 60 people pray in the spirit, a lot of charging up is taking place. This explains the energy surge.

Praying in the spirit is praying in the language that the Spirit gives. It could be the language of angels or the language of men. In Acts 2, on the Day of Pentecost, the disciples in the upper room prayed in other languages of other men – the mother tongue of the diverse visitors to Jerusalem.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Life. He is the channel of the life of Jesus. The river of life brings healing when we pray in tongues. Sickness has to flee. Romans 8:26 says that the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. Another version says that the Spirit helps us in our infirmities, which include sicknesses.

So the next time you need some charging up, you need an infusion of life, or you have a healing need, you can pray in the spirit. In fact, you can pray in the spirit anytime of the day even under your breadth. Do not underestimate this New Covenant prayer language. Treasure it and use it because they did not have the privilege in the Old Covenant.
