Father Knows Best

LANCE WALLNAU said, while standing amazed among powerful leaders one day, that he had never thought he would find himself in that place in his life. "I mean, what am I doing here?" he asked. And the Spirit replied, in that instant, with a remark just as totally unexpected. Speaking of Minister Wallnau's prayers in tongues, in the Spirit language, the Holy Spirit said, "Whenever you pray, this is what you ask for."

“For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.” (1 Corinthians 14:14)

The Scripture says whenever we pray in the Spirit language our mind is unfruitful (1 Corinthians 14:14). I've come to realize the Truth of this. The Father knows best, we might say. From His wisdom, He changes our Spirit words into direction we are not expecting. We may decide to pray for a certain person, and He honors that. But He also prays what we'd never ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Minister Wallnau's story is one example.

Romans 8:26 says the Spirit helps our weaknesses. I love this. I can rest in knowing He’s using my prayers to protect, aid, and heal me. We read this in the next verse as well. Verse 26 says. "For we know not what we should pray for as we ought." Then verse 27 says, "He [the Spirit] maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." God prays through you what is His perfect, unexpected will. What He has chosen you to do that you have no idea of, He will bring to pass, and you were the instrument which called for it.

This may sound scary to you, but if I didn't trust Him with my Spirit language prayers, I wouldn't be here. Because I knew He used those prayers to rescue and heal, I knew, as well, that no power of darkness understood them. So it took the pressure off. In short, I couldn't mess them up.

I spoke on receiving your Spirit language, a while back. I compared it to the Code Talkers of World War II. Though that was done during time of war, and we are not in a war (Jesus is Victor over all the works of Satan and darkness), we do battle our minds. God's language is abundant peace. Jesus’ Resurrection made a way for God to inhabit us, to live inside us, and do great work to heal and strengthen our heart and mind and physical body. He sent the power of the Resurrection, the Holy Spirit, to be with us forever. We are blessed with a new character, with a new motive for living, and all the wisdom and power of heaven to live well. Trusting God to pray His will for us, through us, bypassing the limitations of our mind, takes us to new heights of heaven. We walk where Jesus is. We stand where Jesus is.

“And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words. God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.” (Romans 8:26-27, TPT)
