*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: SATURDAY 19TH JULY 2025

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

MEMORIZE
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

READ
1 Corinthians 14:2, 4-5, 13-15
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.
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
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.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Mysteries are required to demystify mysteries.*

MESSAGE
When you pray in an unknown tongue (which is referred to as the prayer language,) several things are being engaged at the same time.

You are dealing with the unknown realms. You are dealing with unknown powers resisting your life and destiny in the spirit world so as to receive all your blessings that are hidden from you.

When you are facing mysterious issues, engage the Holy Spirit to help you deal with them by deliberately worshipping and praying in tongues. And if the problem persists, you need to trust God for an untiring grace and the ability to persevere in the prayer language until victory is won and the coast cleared.

The easiest way to deal with faceless powers who depend on your ignorance to outsmart you is by engaging the Holy Spirit to help you use the prayer language.

When we pray in an unknown tongue, we are attempting to use the mysterious department of the Holy Spirit to deal with the mysteries of darkness fighting us.

*Mysteries are required to demystify mysteries.*

As there are dark mysteries causing miseries in men's lives, so also there are also mysteries of godliness required to end dark mysteries.

*It is an established fact that the problems of men remain problematic for as long as they remain mysterious.*

*However, the things that are mysterious to us are not mysterious to the Holy Spirit.*

This is why we need the prayer language to help us navigate our ways through the dark terrains until the coast is cleared.

Consider this counsel and may the Lord guide you continually.
1. Pray often, pray daily in tongues to edify your spirit, man.
2. Pay attention to your spirit whilst you pray.
3. Watch out for visions and images forming in your mind or in your spirit as you pray.
4. Take note of the scriptures that drop in your heart or spirit as you pray.
5. Write down instructions, ideas, nudges, and impressions.

We need the unknown to connect to the unknown. We fetch the unknown with the unknown, and we finish the unknown with the unknown. This is the principle of depending on the Holy Spirit in praying with the unknown tongue.

God's Word says; "Call upon me and I will answer and show you great and mighty things which you know not." (Jeremiah 33:3;)

The things that are unknown to us are far more than the things we know.

Our richest blessings are largely unknown to us. 1Cor 2:9;
Our real enemies are unknown to us. Ephesians 6:10-12;

Therefore, praying in an unknown tongue is the real deal because you are dealing with the best and the worst things about your life.
Whether you win or lose is largely dependent on your ability to pray through the spirit realm.

Thank God for giving us the Holy Spirit to help us win invisible battles.

ACTION STEPS
1. Keep a tight relationship with God through His Holy Spirit.
2. Build up your most holy faith, praying always in the Holy Spirit.
3. Pray for spiritual understanding of the ways of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide; and thank you for giving me your Holy Spirit. Help me to take delivery of all your blessings for me in Jesus' name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*Mysteries are required to demystify mysteries.*

HYMN
Holy Spirit, lead us now
Boldly to the throne of grace ;
While our heads in prayer we bow,
Let Thy presence fill this place :
Holy Spirit, Heavenly Guide,
Lead us to the Crucified !

This is now our time of need,
This is now the day of grace ;
Now our souls with manna feed
Ere we leave this sacred place :
Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
Lead us to the feast of love !

3
At the blessed mercy-seat
Peace and joy are freely given ;
While we wait at Jesus' feet,
Make this place the gate of heaven :
Holy Spirit, Heavenly Friend,
Now upon our hearts descend !

4
Weak and sinful though we be,
Jesus' blood can cleanse from sin ;
At the fountain full and free
Wash and make us pure within :
Holy Spirit, Cleansing fire,
Burn up every base desire !

HOW LONG SHOULD A COURTSHIP LAST?

One of the top questions I receive from singles preparing for marriage is this:

👉🏽 “How long should a courtship last?”

Let’s talk about it—honestly, practically, and spiritually.

FIRST: What is Courtship?

Courtship is not casual dating or emotional experimenting.
It begins when a mature single man, after prayer and divine conviction, proposes marriage to a woman—not for fun or trial—but with the clear intention to marry.

Likewise, the lady must also have her own personal conviction before accepting his proposal. Courtship is not built on pressure, fantasy, or romance alone—it must be rooted in spiritual clarity and maturity.

SEVEN AREAS TO PREPARE BEFORE YOU START COURTSHIP

Before you even say “yes” or “let’s start a relationship,” you must be prepared.

❗️Here are 7 non-negotiable areas of personal readiness:

1. Spiritual Preparation
Give your life to Christ. If Jesus is not at the center of your life, He cannot be the foundation of your marriage. Without Christ, the storm will sweep your home away.

2. Physical Preparation
Marriage is not for teenagers or people still hiding under their parents’ roof. Be ready to leave and cleave—physically and emotionally. You need your own space.

3. Financial Preparation
Don’t enter courtship jobless or financially irresponsible. Learn how to make, manage, and multiply money. Love without money quickly turns sour.

4. Emotional Preparation
Heal from past wounds. Stop carrying baggage into your future. If you’re easily jealous, insecure, moody, or manipulative, work on yourself first.

5. Mental Preparation
Educate your mind for marriage. Read books, attend seminars, and gain godly knowledge about family life. Ignorance will c0st you.

6. Social Preparation
Can you relate well with people? Do you know how to communicate, resolve conflicts, and build community? You will need all of these in marriage.

7. Moral Preparation
Live a life of integrity and $exual purity. Self-control before marriage prepares you for faithfulness within it.

A WARNING TO SINGLES: COURTSHIP IS NOT A SECRET AFFAIR

If your partner says:
“Don’t tell your pastor.”
“Keep this from your parents.”
“Let’s hide our relationship for now…”

That is a red flag. Run.

Healthy courtships are accountable, not hidden. Your pastor or mentor should be aware, and both sets of parents should bless your journey. Secrecy invites danger. Courtship is not a game. It’s a sacred preparation.

SO, HOW LONG SHOULD A COURTSHIP LAST?

Minimum: 6 Months
Maximum: 2 Years
(Exceptions: financial delay, parental objection, or health challenges.)

Here’s why:

Less than 6 months is too short to truly know someone. It’s risky.

More than 2 years can breed temptation, compromise, boredom, or unnecessary emotional strain.

Courtship should not be rushed, but it also should not be dragged endlessly.

What Should Happen During Courtship?

❗️Deep and honest conversations about life, vision, and expectations.

❗️Pre-marital counseling with a trusted mentor or pastor.

❗️Family visits and open discussions about background, values, and boundaries.

❗️Prayer, fasting, and studying God’s Word together.

❗️Agreement on issues like finances, $ex, children, ministry, and more.

Courtship is not a time to cuddle and go on endless dates.

It is a time to discern, discover, discuss, and decide.

Final Thoughts for Singles:

Don’t chase a fast wedding; pursue a solid foundation.

A one-month courtship can c0st you a lifetime of regret.

A 10-year relationship doesn’t guarantee success either. It’s not just about time—it’s about truth, trust, and preparation.

Spend more time praying, learning, and growing—before and during courtship.

Marriage is not for the unprepared.
Courtship is for the mature.

🙏🏽 May God grant you wisdom, clarity, and success in your marital journey

"No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot." – Mark Twain

Twain’s sharp wit exposes the futility of reasoning with the willfully ignorant. This critique emphasizes the importance of open-mindedness for true understanding and intellectual growth.

If we bring not the good courage of minds covetous of truth, and truth only, prepared to hear all things, and decide upon all things, according to evidence, we should do more wisely to sit down contented in ignorance, than to bestir ourselves only to reap disappointment

_Sentiments may make us act in bad faith, and the fate of everybody and posterity is put at risk._

*_If we can calibrate well our action, we will come out with attitude that will represent the expectations of majority._*

_Every man must reflect the diversity of his experience and exposures, for the benefit and betterment of his immediate family and friends._

*_Clearly, no one will claim total ignorance of what he wants and why he wants it, though the reasons may be selfish or general._*

_When things are bad, there are victims and when things are better, there are beneficiaries._

*_Remember, no matter what happens, your life is your call. What happen around you is your call, don’t lose guard, take charge._*

_Good morning and God bless your day._
