For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful (1 Corinthians 14:14).
So much happens in the realm of the Spirit when we pray in tongues. So don’t take praying in tongues lightly. Be like Paul who was bold to say he prayed in tongues more than the entire Christians in the Corinthian church: “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all” (1 Corinthians 14:18).
When we pray in the Spirit, we’re often led to address specific situations, people, or circumstances that we may not be consciously aware of. The Spirit guides our prayers, aligning them with God’s will and purpose. Additionally, praying in tongues empowers us to enforce the Father’s will on earth.
Furthermore, through praying in tongues, we keep the enemy at bay and frustrate his plans. Once, we were in a meeting that began on a particular Friday night and extended into the early hours of Saturday morning. As we were rounding off the meeting, I took the microphone for the closing prayer. But something unusual happened; I couldn’t stop speaking in tongues. Though I wanted to stop, the Holy Spirit led me to continue.
I kept on praying in tongues fervently and the brethren, recognizing this move of the Spirit, joined in, and together we prayed until I received a note of victory in my spirit. With joy and laughter in the spirit, I announced to the congregation, “In a day or two, it’ll be clear what we prayed about in other tongues.”
The revelation of what had transpired came to the fore two days later. A certain man had planned to bomb one of our TV stations, located on the eighth floor of a certain building. As he approached the floor, the bomb detonated in his hands before he could execute his nefarious plan. The explosion severed his hands, and he was rushed to the hospital where he confessed that his intention was to blow up the station.
This miraculous intervention occurred because we prayed in tongues. The Spirit of God moved through our prayers, dismantling the enemy’s plans. This is one of the reasons you should fervently and excitedly pray in other tongues always; it helps forfend danger amongst its other transcendent benefits.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the blessing and privilege of praying in tongues and communing with you through the Spirit. I am empowered by your Word and the Spirit to stand in the gap, enforce your will, and bring your plans to fruition on earth. I pray with boldness and faith, knowing that my prayers avail much, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Romans 8:26-27 NKJV
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit [is,] because He makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. ||

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, ||

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; ||
