THE SECRET OF ENDURING PRAYER II
(1Corinthians 14:18 KJV)
“I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all”.
It is not possible for you to pray for a long time without praying in tongues. English language and any other language known to you is not sufficient to keep you for long in prayer. And you need to pray for as long as necessary for the intensity of God’s presence in your life. If you dare to do elongated praying in your understanding, you may fall into the temptation of vain repetitions that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 6:7.
Paul stated very clearly that he prays mostly in tongues, and for some reason, he knew the prayer level of the Corinthian church, and could confirm that they didn’t match him in tongues. The secret of enduring prayer amongst other things therefore is prayer in tongues or in the spirit. While praying in tongues, you can last in prayer for very many hours without feeling it. In tongues the Holy Spirit comes to your aid with serious intensity of prayer force, such that your heart literally catches fire in an unquenchable fashion. Romans 8:27 says “the Holy Spirit will help you with groaning which cannot be uttered.”
What is the effect of this enduring prayer in tongues? Your spirit will be so built up to the point where you become an ‘unattemptable’ person by the enemy. Jude 1:20 says you build faith as you pray in the spirit. When your spirit is built up and strong you will conquer adversity very cheaply; (Proverbs 18:14). Your strength cannot afford to fall short for any reason because the enemy is not relenting in his attacks on the believer. “And if you faint in the day of adversity your strength is small” (Proverbs 24:10). You shall not faint in Jesus Name, and every wave of unnecessary adversity is averted in Jesus Name.

Nugget
When praying in tongues the Holy Spirit comes to your aid with serious intensity of prayer force, such that your heart literally catches fire in an unquenchable fashion.
