*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: FRIDAY 18TH JULY 2025

THEME: *THE BENEFITS OF PRAYING IN TONGUES.* (PART ONE)

MEMORIZE
1 Corinthians 14:4
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

READ
1 Corinthians 14:1-2, 4-5, 15, 18
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Praying in the Spirit is connecting with the Holy Spirit to take delivery of all our redemptive packages in God.*

MESSAGE
One of the initial evidences of being filled with the Holy Spirit is the prayer language which is popularly known as speaking in tongues or praying in the Spirit. The energy imparted by the Holy Spirit through this gift is awesome, as it helps us connect with God in prayers and worship. It spiritually refreshes, edifies and comforts beyond words. It is amazing how you can be strengthened to pray for hours without being tired when you are online with God through the prayer language.

The spiritual benefits of praying in tongues are simply amazing and wonderful.
Whenever we pray in the Spirit, we pray accurately because we are praying from the Spirit's stand, hence the prayer points come directly from the Spirit Himself, making it impossible for you to pray amiss.
When we pray in the Spirit, we connect faster to the realm of God to receive all that belongs to us in God.
The Bible puts it this way:
1 Corinthians 2:9-12
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."

It is also interesting to note that the benefits of praying in tongues is not only limited to the spirit alone, it also has an amazing physical health benefits as well.

A medical doctor of high repute, both in his field and in the Christian faith, from ORAL ROBERT UNIVERSITY made a very startling and amazing discovery of what happens when we use the "Prayer language" popularly known as "speaking with other tongues".
Being a Neurologist, he discovered while conducting a research on the relationship between the brain and praying or speaking in tongues. His discovery was that; whenever we worship or pray in the Spirit, the brain releases two chemical secretions that are directed into our immune system. This promotes healing within our bodies. Amazingly, this secretion is triggered from a part of the brain that has no other apparent activity in human being and is only activated by our spirit led prayer and worship.

This brings to mind the scriptures which says; we were made by the power of the Holy Spirit in creation. And the one who made us also knows how we were wired and what we need to function optimally. It is so soothing and encouraging that spiritual exercise also brings physical, bodily refreshing and rejuvenation. So whenever you are fatigued spiritually, mentally,emotionally and physically, learn to come to the Lord in prayer and worship for our complete package of spirit soul and body refreshment and restoration. Little wonder the Lord Jesus said, "come unto me, all you that Labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

*Hence forth, consciously involve yourself in praying in the Spirit with the intension to connect with the Holy Spirit to enable you take full delivery of your redemptive packages in God.*

May you find rest on every side as you worship and pray in the Spirit henceforth in Jesus name. Shalom.

HYMN
Come, Holy Ghost, in love,
Shed on us from above
Thine own bright ray :
Divinely good Thou art ;
Thy sacred gifts impart
To gladden each sad heart :
Oh, come to-day !

2
Come, tenderest Friend and best,
Our most delightful Guest,
With soothing power :
Rest, which the weary know ;
Shade, 'mid the noontide glow;
Peace, when deep griefs o'erflow :
Cheer us this hour.

3
Come, Light serene and still,
Our inmost bosoms fill ;

Dwell in each breast !
We know no dawn but Thine ;
Send forth Thy beams divine.
On our dark souls to shine,
And make us blest.

4
Exalt our low desires,
Extinguish passion's fires,
Heal every wound ;
Our stubborn spirits bend,
Our icy coldness end,
Our devious steps attend
While heavenward bound.

5
Come, all the faithful bless :
Let all who Christ confess
His praise employ ;
Give virtue's rich reward ;
Victorious death accord,
And, with our glorious Lord,
Eternal joy.
