B V O V : 2 7 POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1 Even if you don't know what to pray, by praying in the spirit you can pray the perfect prayer. (Rom. 8:26) 2 Praying in tongues enables you to talk to God about aspects of His will that are hidden from your understanding. (1 Cor. 14:2) 3 Praying in tongues builds you up spiritually so that you're strong enough to do what God has called you to do. (Jude 20) 5 If you'll pray daily in other tongues, God can prepare you in advance so you'll never be without an answer. (Prov. 16:1) 4 When you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit teaches you and refreshes you. (Isa. 28:11-12) Next time you're tempted to get discouraged over some problem you're facing, and you start to wonder if you really have what it takes to overcome it, here's something I suggest you remember: As a born-again believer, "You are the temple of God and…the Spirit of God dwells in you" (1 Corinthians 3:16, New King James Version). Think about that for a moment. You have, living on the inside of you, the Spirit of Almighty God Himself! The God who moved into you when you received Jesus as Lord, the God who fi lled you with His power when He baptized you in the Holy Spirit, is the same God who worked all the signs and wonders in the Bible. He's the One who delivered the Israelites out of bondage and poured out fi re and hail on their enemies. He's the One who engulfed the land of Egypt in so much darkness that no one dared move for three days. He's the God who dried a path through the Red Sea so the children of Israel didn't even get their feet muddy as they walked through, and then He drowned Pharaoh's army behind them. This same awesome, all-powerful God has made you His mobile temple! And He's saying to you every single day, "Come fellowship with Me. Spend time in prayer, talking to Me and receiving from Me so I can help you. I want to strengthen you and give you divine wisdom about that problem you've been having. I want to apply My supernatural power to it so that it disappears and gets out of your life." Talk about having what it takes to be an overcomer! All you have to do is spend time with God every day and obey Him, and your victory is guaranteed. "But I'm so busy right now," you might say, "I just can't seem to fi t time with God into my schedule. My days are absolutely packed." That may be true. But let me ask you this: If Jesus physically came into your house and o" ered to talk to you, do you think you could make time for Him? Sure you would! If you got up one morning and found Him sitting at your kitchen table, you wouldn't just rush past Him. You wouldn't just wave goodbye to Him on your way out the door and say, "I sure wish I could visit with You awhile, Jesus, but I have to get to the ož ce. I'll just have to catch You later." If you got home from work tonight and found "The Holy Spirit is leading you in the way you need to go. He's helping you to make the right decisions and telling you how to receive God's blessing."
