Effective Prayer

Have you ever wondered if your prayers have any effect?

When you pray in tongues, you are praying the perfect will of God.

You don’t have to wonder if your prayers make a difference when you speak in tongues .

Here’s a sermon by John G Lake which illustrates this truth:

“John G. Lake: "Tongues has been the making of my ministry.

"Will you speak in tongues when you are baptized in the Holy Ghost?

Yes, you will, but you will do an awful lot more than that, bless God. An awful lot more than that! You will speak with the soul of Jesus Christ. You will feel with the heart of the Son of God. Your heart will beat with a heavenly desire to bless the world, because it is the pulse of Jesus that is throbbing in your soul. And I do not believe there will be a bit of inclination in your heart to turn around to another child of God and say: “You are not in my class. I am baptized with the Holy Ghost.” That is as foreign to the Spirit of the Son of God as night is from day.

Beloved, if you are baptized in the Holy Ghost, there will be a tenderness in your soul so deep that you will never crush the aspiration of another by a single suggestion, but your soul will throb and beat and pulse in love, and your heart will be under that one to lift it up to God and push it out as far into the glory as your faith can send it.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU WITH THE UTMOST FRANKNESS AND TELL YOU THAT TONGUES HAVE BEEN TO ME THE MAKING OF MY MINISTRY.

It is that peculiar communication with God when God reveals to my soul the truth I utter to you day by day in my ministry. But that time of communication with me is mostly in the night. Many a time I climb out of bed, take my pencil and pad and jot down the beautiful things of God, the wonderful things of God, that He talks out in my spirit and reveals to my heart."
