WHY WE PRAY IN TONGUES FOR HOURS?
No. 1 Spiritual Fortification
The number one reason we pray is for spiritual fortifications. The more you stay, the more you are fortified. You need to be fortified against the world. We are in the work of spiritual powers. Going to Prayer Mountains to ask for POWER is like charging your phone with a power bank. Praying in the Holy Ghost is like plugging into the electrical source.
Take a look at this picture. This is akin to the Nigeria government offering two white rams to the god of the river for them to do a project. This happened in the 21st century. They acknowledge the existence of a terrestrial force. They may do the bridge, YES, but a covenant had been enacted. But what they do will not end there. And blood must always be shed. One day, someone will wake up from his house, drive his car, park by the roadside, walk to the bridge and jump right into it. Once the spirit calls for blood, blood must answer. This is not just a Nigeria or Africa thing. Occultism and spiritism are stronger in America than in Nigeria.
Take my word for it. You must be fortified! That school, that hospital, even some churches, that road, has been blooded! That bus driver has a covenant hanging on him. Someone, somewhere, is wishing you bad. They’ve told his auntie, his auntie is occultic. Then, what next? Someone told me that the next person to her shop is outselling her because she’s using charm. I told her, you too use your own charm. Get fortified. Pray… while you are sleeping, while you are watching football, while you are posting status, while you don’t care. You know I don’t usually speak to you this way, but it’s real!
Jud 1:20 says, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.” The word “building up” here means CHARGING. Charging your spirit is simply fortifying your spirit. I was writing my third book, Mocking the Devil, when a spirit walked into where I was sleeping. I was traveling and got stuck on the road. Slept in a house. I saw things but woke up alive. I am not scaring you, I am telling you. Went to pray for someone in the hospital. He told me to pray for the child next to him. On my way home, maybe our driver slept off, his car swung to the other side of the road. I slept, they came to ask me: why did you pray for them? I went to eat in an eatery with my wife. I came back home. I saw people pounding yam at the window where my daughters were sleeping. I have three daughters in the house. The next day, one of them was sick. The eatery was demonic. We were to have a guest in the house. I saw in a revelation that we should allow the guest in. I should have known that God was trying to tell me to be watchful.
He came to stay some days with us. My wife jumped from her sleep one night. She said she heard the voice of that guest shouting “MUMMY MUMMY.” We went to his room, he was fast asleep. Like fast asleep. We checked the girls, all asleep. Nobody was calling her but it was deeper. Some days after, the guest traveled. I saw him walk back into the house. I chased him out but before he left, I wanted to hurt him. That was when confession started. He wasn’t a bad person. His parents are good people. But someone close to their family wanted evil to follow him everywhere and so uses his image. That was the only reason I didn’t hurt him. All these events I share happened between December and January. You see, you don’t know where arrows are flying from. Get readily fortified… pray! You may be speaking the same tongues, it may not make much sense to you but STAT! STAY! STAY PRAYING! Continue praying!
I came back from MAS, and three times I heard: they want you to have an accident. I said they were joking. I am fortified. Our fortification is a mixture of KNOWLEDGE AND FIRE. You need the two. 1 Corinthians 14:4 says, “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself.” The real “himself” here is not your body or your soul, it is your SPIRIT. When they want to charm or spell, they call the spirit. In the name of Jesus, you’re divinely fortified! You and your household.
