Rhapsody of Realities 28 July 2025: Pray in Tongues Consistently
Scripture: (1 Corinthians 14:4) He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
Praying in the Spirit is a powerful spiritual exercise that produces remarkable results within you. One
of the things God designed to keep you healthy, sound, and strong is prayer, especially praying in the Spirit. When you speak in tongues, you edify yourself; it’s like charging a battery. Your spirit is charged, energized and strengthened, enabling you to truly serve God.
The Apostle Paul revealed something profound in Romans 1:9, saying, “For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son ” This means we serve God with our spirits. Therefore, for your spirit to function effectively, it must be charged, strengthened and continually refreshed. Praying in tongues achieves this.
The human spirit can be weak or strong. To strengthen your spirit, you must spend time praying in the Holy Ghost. As you do, your spirit is built up and fortified: “But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit” (Jude 1:20 AMPC).
God has His role, but you also have yours. The Holy Spirit is your Helper; He doesn’t do the work for you but works through you. Paul, in Ephesians 3:14-16 tells us, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.”
The term “strengthened with might” refers to being infused with miracle-working ability by the Holy Spirit in your inner man. Paul understood this truth deeply, which is why he made a remarkable statement in 1 Corinthians 14:18, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.” The Corinthian church was known for their enthusiasm for speaking in tongues, yet Paul stated that he spoke in tongues more than all of them.

Paul’s consistency in praying in tongues was key to his continuous progress, victories and extraordinary accomplishments. It wasn’t something he did occasionally; it was a lifestyle. If you desire consistent growth, success, and advancement, then praying in the Spirit must be something you do consistently. It’ll help you make consistent progress as you experience continuous increase in grace and victory after victory. Hallelujah
CONFESSION
Dear Father, I thank you for the blessing of praying in the Spirit through which I build up and strengthen my spirit to serve you effectively. Even now, my spirit is attuned to your guidance and direction, and I walk in perpetual victory, progress and ever-increasing grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
