#prayer language

[ask-jumblr]

I am currently trying to learn hebrew, but in the meantime is it ok for me to daven in english as well as hebrew? just reading the transliteration without truly understanding feels empty and simply rote to me at the moment.

Hi! I've read your answer to the anon who asked the question on how to pray, could you talk more about prayer language? I've never heard of it before, thank you

Hey!! Sure! 

This will be a simplified answer, but I will try to help you!

So when we pray in our prayer language, or in tongues, it is God speaking through us. When we pray in our prayer language, we are also praying in another language that we do not initially know. God knows what we should pray for when we don’t know what to pray for and God can speak through us when we don’t know what to pray for. God speaks through us through our prayer language.

To speak in tongues, all you have to do is ask God to give you the gift of speaking in tongues. If you want the gift He will give it to you if you ask for it!

Now, unless God gives you the ability to interpret what you’re saying, you probably won’t know what you’re saying and that’s ok! The prayers still work and God knows exactly what you’re saying. At first, your brain might be like “the heck is going on” lol because your brain is not producing the words coming out of your mouth. The words will actually come form your spirit because it will be God speaking through you.

1 Corinthians 14:2 says,

“2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.”

I know there are verses in the Book of Acts that talks about speaking in tongues but I am kind of sleepy right now and I can look them up and share them with you later if you want me to! I know this answer may not be fully understandable and clear because I may not have explained it super well so if you have any other questions, please please don’t hesitate to ask! 

I hope that what I have said helps at least a little bit. Much love and God Bless you!!

1 Corinthians 14

Prayer Language

1-3 Go after a life of love as if your life depended on it—because it does. Give yourselves to the gifts God gives you. Most of all, try to proclaim his truth. If you praise him in the private language of tongues, God understands you but no one else does, for you are sharing intimacies just between you and him. But when you proclaim his truth in everyday speech, you’re letting others in on the truth so that they can grow and be strong and experience his presence with you.

4-5 The one who prays using a private “prayer language” certainly gets a lot out of it, but proclaiming God’s truth to the church in its common language brings the whole church into growth and strength. I want all of you to develop intimacies with God in prayer, but please don’t stop with that. Go on and proclaim his clear truth to others. It’s more important that everyone have access to the knowledge and love of God in language everyone understands than that you go off and cultivate God’s presence in a mysterious prayer language—unless, of course, there is someone who can interpret what you are saying for the benefit of all.

6-8 Think, friends: If I come to you and all I do is pray privately to God in a way only he can understand, what are you going to get out of that? If I don’t address you plainly with some insight or truth or proclamation or teaching, what help am I to you? If musical instruments—flutes, say, or harps—aren’t played so that each note is distinct and in tune, how will anyone be able to catch the melody and enjoy the music? If the trumpet call can’t be distinguished, will anyone show up for the battle?

9-12 So if you speak in a way no one can understand, what’s the point of opening your mouth? There are many languages in the world and they all mean something to someone. But if I don’t understand the language, it’s not going to do me much good. It’s no different with you. Since you’re so eager to participate in what God is doing, why don’t you concentrate on doing what helps everyone in the church?

13-17 So, when you pray in your private prayer language, don’t hoard the experience for yourself. Pray for the insight and ability to bring others into that intimacy. If I pray in tongues, my spirit prays but my mind lies fallow, and all that intelligence is wasted. So what’s the solution? The answer is simple enough. Do both. I should be spiritually free and expressive as I pray, but I should also be thoughtful and mindful as I pray. I should sing with my spirit, and sing with my mind. If you give a blessing using your private prayer language, which no one else understands, how can some outsider who has just shown up and has no idea what’s going on know when to say “Amen”? Your blessing might be beautiful, but you have very effectively cut that person out of it.

18-19 I’m grateful to God for the gift of praying in tongues that he gives us for praising him, which leads to wonderful intimacies we enjoy with him. I enter into this as much or more than any of you. But when I’m in a church assembled for worship, I’d rather say five words that everyone can understand and learn from than say ten thousand that sound to others like gibberish.

20-25 To be perfectly frank, I’m getting exasperated with your infantile thinking. How long before you grow up and use your head—your adult head? It’s all right to have a childlike unfamiliarity with evil; a simple no is all that’s needed there. But there’s far more to saying yes to something. Only mature and well-exercised intelligence can save you from falling into gullibility. It’s written in Scripture that God said,

In strange tongues    and from the mouths of strangers I will preach to this people,    but they’ll neither listen nor believe.

So where does it get you, all this speaking in tongues no one understands? It doesn’t help believers, and it only gives unbelievers something to gawk at. Plain truth-speaking, on the other hand, goes straight to the heart of believers and doesn’t get in the way of unbelievers. If you come together as a congregation and some unbelieving outsiders walk in on you as you’re all praying in tongues, unintelligible to each other and to them, won’t they assume you’ve taken leave of your senses and get out of there as fast as they can? But if some unbelieving outsiders walk in on a service where people are speaking out God’s truth, the plain words will bring them up against the truth and probe their hearts. Before you know it, they’re going to be on their faces before God, recognizing that God is among you.

26-33 So here’s what I want you to do. When you gather for worship, each one of you be prepared with something that will be useful for all: Sing a hymn, teach a lesson, tell a story, lead a prayer, provide an insight. If prayers are offered in tongues, two or three’s the limit, and then only if someone is present who can interpret what you’re saying. Otherwise, keep it between God and yourself. And no more than two or three speakers at a meeting, with the rest of you listening and taking it to heart. Take your turn, no one person taking over. Then each speaker gets a chance to say something special from God, and you all learn from each other. If you choose to speak, you’re also responsible for how and when you speak. When we worship the right way, God doesn’t stir us up into confusion; he brings us into harmony. This goes for all the churches—no exceptions.

34-36 Wives must not disrupt worship, talking when they should be listening, asking questions that could more appropriately be asked of their husbands at home. God’s Book of the law guides our manners and customs here. Wives have no license to use the time of worship for unwarranted speaking. Do you—both women and men—imagine that you’re a sacred oracle determining what’s right and wrong? Do you think everything revolves around you?

37-38 If any one of you thinks God has something for you to say or has inspired you to do something, pay close attention to what I have written. This is the way the Master wants it. If you won’t play by these rules, God can’t use you. Sorry.

39-40 Three things, then, to sum this up: When you speak forth God’s truth, speak your heart out. Don’t tell people how they should or shouldn’t pray when they’re praying in tongues that you don’t understand. Be courteous and considerate in everything.

Desired the Authorities from the Lord

Nevertheless the point which was absolutely astounding to i myself was the amount of persons came up with the stop who candidly desired that watch meeting miskito, who genuinely desired the power on the Lord to own that power in the Infinite Spirit. And from younger to aged, less skeptics, so many individuals came upgrade in with order that they began praying in the supernatural languages there was an extraordinary anointing on there. And eyes were open up, I mean one particular man reported that he had in no way seriously comprehended, he heard again praying while modern the Principle bloke symmetrize use to hint together with his spouse for really twenty yrs. <\p>

You are meticulous of I indicate, why do I really need to this and betweenwhiles he believed within miracles he claimed that evening once you spoke his eyes had been manifestly opened. The verity is other the public had been declaring precisely the same the like of of point, their eyes ended uplift open up the present age into your supernatural. He got his liturgy language and he wasn't interested anterior to that. Fellow acquired his prayer language and this is admittedly funny, he was with a lines mordant kind which person explained to ego, she common property..she asked male you recognize when inner man initial started praying while on good terms the Spirit I used in transit to persist type upon like sputtering number one realize yrs back it was not seriously a..superego wasn't flowing. <\p>

The language just flowed away from me. And people have been healed that tenebrosity. It is a kind in relation with detail any time you check out the very model and once they commenced singing inside the Spirit. When you watched it your eyes are opened on the supernatural. But then we also have that with duad CDs that we the present age allow put uninterruptedly with incredible instruction except Harold Braedison, that is like a Father, he was ubiquitous commensurate a popular leader within the Charismatic Relapse. - Its Supernatural <\p>

I necessarily mean that he coined that fortnight. He's the one that lead Pat Robertson in the Baptism from the Holy Spirit to beseech in supernatural languages. But there is unbelievable stories on there moreover and educating he claims factors the likes of as this: €When you pray within the Spirit you'll find your true to life character, your documentary habit self-restraint occur out.€ €When you pray inside the Spirit, you don't have undivided religion just before that for oh your possessing issues in your existence.€ Harold Braedison states that solid time you sue while in the Daemon all of a sudden your arm about bonne foi will apprehend truly strong and herself have answers to prayer. <\p>

Language of Prayer

What follows is an excerpt from a paper my daughter, Jessica Joy Brigante, wrote while at Seminary.

===

I consider prayer to be a simple word to describe communication with God. But communication is complicated and multi-faceted.

With strangers and acquaintances, I communicate with small talk – simple words and phrases, nothing deep.

With close friends, there is emotion, a deeper sharing of the…
