Gloria Copeland — Pray God’s Will
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland
Since you can only do the will of God one day at
a time, you need to find out each day what His will is.
First Corinthians 2:7 says, “But we speak the wisdom
of God in a mystery….” When we pray in tongues—in
the spirit—we’re speaking mysteries, decreeing the
plan of God, which we don’t understand or even
know in our natural minds. But because we’re spiritual
beings, we trust the Word of God and pray as the
Holy Ghost gives us utterance. Though, in our natural
minds, we don’t know what we’re praying for, we
know it’s good, because we know when we pray in
the spirit, we’re praying the perfect will of God.
If we’d all begin praying the will of God, His work in
the earth would be done quickly. Isn’t that what
Jesus told the disciples to pray? “Thy will be done in
earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). His will must
be prayed. As we pray in the spirit, He can use our
mouths and our authority, even if we don’t mentally
know what we’re saying. (See 1 Corinthians 14:13-14.)
We’re speaking forth the mysteries of God and giving
Him place to display and manifest His glory and to fulfill
His plan—His hidden plan to repossess the earth.
As we pray His will in the spirit, the Holy Spirit begins
to reveal to our minds what God is doing and how we
individually fit into that plan. Supernatural understanding
comes to our minds.
God knows exactly how to deliver His children. Just as
He knew how to deliver the children of Israel from the
bondage of Egypt, He knows how to deliver us. Have
you ever thought about how God delivered the children
of Israel and read about it in such a way that you
realized the Bible is not just a storybook? It took some
doing, but it really happened! Read the book of Exodus
with the understanding that it’s your God and Father
who did this. The One who lives in you!
When God gets ready to deliver His people, you’d
better look out, Pharaoh! In all his splendor and glory,
Pharaoh had to eat dirt when God got ready to deliver
His people. God knew exactly how to bring them out.
And He knows exactly how to bring you and me to
that place of being the glorious Church without spot
or wrinkle. He knows exactly how to do it! And He is
going to do it!
I get excited when I think about all of us coming before
the Lord, praying the mysteries of God into the earth.
If we’ll get in the spirit, walk in the spirit, pray in the
spirit and intercede in the spirit, we’ll bring the mysteries
of God into our very presence in our lifetime. God has
never told us to do anything we couldn’t do. He’s never
commanded us to be spiritual beyond what He has
made us able to do. Each of us can pray in the spirit
—in tongues—every day. You don’t even have to be
smart to pray in tongues! You just have to be full of
the Holy Ghost.
The devil doesn’t have a chance if we’ll just be obedient
to God. When we walk in the spirit, we’re agreeing with
God. If you and I are in agreement with God, we’ll
automatically be in agreement with each other. By
the Spirit of God, the unity of our faith becomes a
reality. We’re learning to agree with God in His Spirit!
