We need Azusa-level reports to shoot around the planet as we explode in supernatural cries: Honestly, it's difficult to understand why so many charismatic churches minimize tongues in their meetings. I don't know that you can really have a dead prayer meeting if people are erupting in tongues. Praying in Tongues: The Solution for Dead Prayer Meetings Our minds can't understand what's being prayed and therefore can't come into disagreement with it. We have a resounding yes in our spirits even though we don't know logically what we are agreeing with! In fact, bypassing our logic and intellect through groans of intercession is a primary reason why we are in agreement with God. As the powerful mysteries of God are exploding out of us in prayer, we easily find ourselves loving God with deep intimacy. When the groans begin, Romans 8:28 initiates. Yes, it will make a lot of people uncomfortable, but the Holy Spirit will be radically comfortable. Just as praying in tongues requires a literal sound to come out of our mouths, the groans are also deep, zealous sounds, tones, emitted from the depths of our inner man.Ĭhurches must begin to become prayer- and groan-driven! The sound will break strongholds and usher in deliverance into our nation. Things work together for good when we allow the Holy Spirit to intercede through us with groans! No groan, no guarantee of success. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26-28: Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. Romans 8:28 (ESV) starts with the word "And," which should reveal that it's connected to what came before it: It's actually pretty bad counsel if we don't let them know that this verse is dependent on the preceding verses. When people are struggling, it's common to share this verse with them. One of the most misapplied scriptures is Romans 8:28.
It's the tone of the groan that will be heard around the world. I am convinced that this is not a new musical style, but rather a new groan of the Spirit. It's been prophesied many times that a new sound is going to be released. The loud, erupting sound of groans have been resounding in our meetings. I've been privileged to give leadership to some events where intercessors and hungry people have shaken and shocked atmospheres.
Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses, for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Rom. For we are saved through hope, but hope that is seen is not hope, for why does a man still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Not only that, but we also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan within ourselves while eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. We know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
