AGLOW BY THE SPIRIT

(Praying In The Spirit Makes You Glow)

📖 “Keep your eyes on the LORD! You will shine like the sun and never blush with shame” (Psalm 34:5 CEV)

Have you ever stepped outside at night and gazed up at the stars? It’s a breathtaking sight. Did you know that, in the spirit, if you were to look down at the earth, you’d see a similar display of lights? Those bright shining lights you’d see are us God’s children! 

The Bible says in Philippians 2:15 NIV, “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.” Just like stars in the sky, we all shine, but our brightness can vary. Some of us glow more intensely than others. Consider Luke 9:29 NIV, which tells us, “And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.”* There’s something transformative about prayer that affects your spirit and makes it glow. 

Even if others can’t see the glory on your face, as you pray in the spirit, you’re being transfigured from glory to glory. This is why praying in tongues is so important. When you pray in tongues regularly, you’re charging up your spirit and stirring up the power of God inside you. 

The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 NKJV, “Let your light so shine.” This means it’s up to you to make your light shine brighter. The more you pray in the spirit, the stronger your light becomes. This not only helps you do God’s work more effectively but also keeps you healthy and strong. Hallelujah!

PRAY

Dear Father, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit and for giving me the ability to pray in tongues. As I pray in tongues today, I light up everywhere, glowing ever so brightly, radiating your goodness, kindness, and graciousness to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
