In June 2024 I set myself to pray in the spirit for 3 hours each day.
I set aside time for prayer and sidelined many other noble pursuits to test a theory.
The results were remarkable.
Aside from the most valuable, a deepening relationship with God, I also saw my income rise from an average of $10,000 in June to over $25,000 in December.
With that in mind, I want to share one of my favourite verses today.
It’s one you’ll be familiar with:
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28 KJV)
The interesting thing to remember is that this verse is written in the context of praying in the spirit.
Elsewhere in Scripture, we’re told that praying in tongues edifies the person praying.
“He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;” (1 Corinthians 14:4 KJV)
That word ‘edify’ means to build up and to strengthen.
Modern parlance might also call it "charging oneself up."
Think of all those power-hungry batteries you plug in each day.
The same is true for your spirit.
It needs to be regularly connected to the source to keep the lights on!
Concerning magnetically connecting to God’s purpose, I see my spirit like an electromagnet.
Connect an electromagnet to a power source and it becomes irresistible, repelling and attracting in equal measure.
When your spirit is connected to the power Source, you’ll attract all of the relationships and resources required to fulfil His mandate for your life. Conversely, you’ll repel everything that would detract from it.
The closer we align our lives and spirit with God through prayer, the more powerfully we pull those ‘good’ things into our orbit.
Prayer in the spirit is incredibly powerful and so underappreciated.
I speak about this principle of praying in the spirit in depth in my book ‘The Life Changing Power of Speaking In Tongues’. If you want to explore this amazing invitation to connecting with God further grab yourself a copy on Amazon.
