Corinthians 14:14
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. |

God has given us a
powerful prayer gift — praying in tongues, which is not limited by distance,
time or head knowledge. When you pray in tongues, you could be praying for
your future or even a loved one overseas. You won’t know what you are praying
unless God tells you. This is because your “understanding is unfruitful” —
your mind is not involved.
“But Pastor Prince, I
must know what I am praying!”
Sometimes, it is
better not to know what you are praying. In 1993, I had a long season of
praying in the Spirit. If I had known then everything that I was praying in
tongues, I would have freaked out! For example, I would have been afraid if I
had known that the Holy Spirit was saying, “Father God, in the year 2002,
anoint Joseph Prince to preach six messages every week to more than 10,000
people.” That has come to pass. But back in 1993, one service was enough to
tire me out!
So I thank God that I
don’t know what I am praying when I pray in tongues. I simply trust His
goodness and pray in tongues for everything that He has planned for me to
come to pass in His perfect timing.
Beloved, don’t stop
praying in tongues just because you don’t know what you are praying. You
could be praying for the safety of a loved one in a life and death situation.
Especially when you feel an urge to pray because you sense danger, pray! Pray
until you sense a release as the burden is lifted. The Holy Spirit will know
exactly what is going on, who is in danger and how to pray for deliverance.
(Romans 8:27)
You may say, “Well, I
can just pray in English.” You can, but your prayer will be very limited
because you don’t know everything. It is better to pray in tongues because
the Spirit knows all things.
My friend, you don’t
belong to the natural, limited realm. You belong to God who is unlimited! So
pray in tongues, and see great things happening for you and through you.
