Gloria Copeland — Be Filled With the Spirit Part 2

Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries

You must supply the sounds as the Holy
Spirit supplies the words. These words will be
unknown to you. The Scripture teaches us that
in the spirit we speak mysteries unto God:
“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”
(1 Corinthians 14:2, 4). You are not speaking
to man but to God.

One translation says we speak divine
secrets. You can pray beyond your natural
knowledge when you pray in other tongues.

So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our
aid and bears us up in our weakness;
for we do not know what prayer to
offer nor how to offer it worthily as
we ought, but the Spirit Himself
goes to meet our supplication and
pleads in our behalf with unspeakable
yearnings and groanings too deep for
utterance. And He Who searches
the hearts of men knows what is in
the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what
His intent is], because the Spirit
intercedes and pleads [before God] in
behalf of the saints according to and
in harmony with God’s will (Romans
8:26-27, The Amplified Bible).

The Holy Spirit comes to our aid to help
us in prayer when we don’t know how to pray
as we ought. He gives us utterance in other
tongues, praying the perfect will of God. We
need this help. So much of the time we know
so little. We may only see a symptom of a
much deeper problem. But the Holy Spirit
goes right to the root of the problem and
prays the perfect will of God for us.

Look at Jude 20, The Amplified Bible: “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.” Praying in tongues edifies
you. This means “to build up or charge,” as we
charge a battery.
