Plead your case with the Father.

Keeping in mind this understanding of our authority, let’s examine a crucial passage from Scripture in the context of our discussion on praying in the Spirit.

Praying in tongues protects you from the contamination of the world.

Praying in tongues protects you from the contamination of the world.

Here is another reason why every Christian should speak in tongues: It is a means of preserving ourselves from the contamination of the world, the ungodly, the profane, and all the vulgar talk that surrounds us, whether at work or in various public places. How can praying in tongues spiritually preserve us from the contamination […]

The Best Way to Give Thanks.

The Best Way to Give Thanks.

Paul gives us another reason to pray in tongues. Language is the best way to give thanks. “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise […]

The Holy Spirit is our Helper.

The Holy Spirit is our Helper.

Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to assist you. An “assistant” is someone who helps you get the job done! “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.” John 14:16 The word “Helper” is the Greek word “paracletos.” The Amplified […]

Talk to God, not man.

My father-in-law, Mr. Rooker, was a man of faith, a farmer in the black lands of central-north Texas, near the small town of Tom Bean. I arrived in 1938 to be the pastor of a small Full Gospel church in town and that’s when I started courting his daughter! I remember Mr. Rooker telling me […]

Praying for Mysteries.

Praying for Mysteries.

Allow me to give you an example from my own life, where the Holy Spirit warned me to pray about things in tongues before they happened. I was at a program in St. Louis in 1958, and I had returned to my hotel room after the service. I tried to read a book, but I […]

A gift for hungry hearts.

A gift for hungry hearts.

I read another testimony, just after the Second World War, from a denominational missionary in Africa. In 1946, this missionary returned to the United States for the first time after ministering continuously for 37 years in the African bush. When she arrived in New York, she was overwhelmed by the noise, traffic, and crowds. She […]

A little further, a little deeper.

A little further, a little deeper.

This truth was confirmed to me in the 1960s during the move of God in the denominational churches that we call the charismatic movement. I was one of the speakers at a meeting, alongside an Episcopal priest named Brother Patterson. As he was teaching on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Brother Patterson recounted an […]
