Jude 20 [KJV]But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Praying in tongues or praying in the Holy Spirit has a lot of benefits. There are lots of blessings that you stand to gain or derive from praying in tongues. Basically you can either pray in tongues or in understanding. 1Cor14v14-15. But praying in tongues can’t be compared with praying in Understanding. In fact, I would say praying in tongues is more powerful and better than praying in understanding. I know this both from personal experience and the testimony of the scriptures.
So why is Praying in Tongues better than Praying in Understanding?

THE BENEFITS:

1. Praying in tongues has no limitations, while praying in understanding has certain limitations.
Ideally, from the natural point of view, there is a place you get to in praying in understanding that you become limited by words or desire, but this does not apply when praying in tongues. Praying in tongues has an unlimited dimension of talking with God. 1cor14v4

2. Praying in tongues is a direct means of communicating with God without interference or obstruction.
While praying in understanding, you could be distracted or obstructed. This is why it pays to pray in tongues more than in understanding. 1cor14 v2

3. Praying in tongues is speaking forth the wisdom of God.
While there is a limit to the wisdom you can operate in a while praying in understanding. In fact, when you speak in tongues, you are actually speaking answers and solutions without not knowing it. This is why you ought to pray in tongues more. 1cor2v6-7

4. Praying in tongues edifies and builds you up.
This is what is meant in Jude 1 verse 20. Your spirit man is fortified and strengthened ast you pray in the Spirit. Precious child of God, this is why you should do more of praying in tongues so as to be built up.

5. Praying in Tongues is praying according to God’s will.
This simply means that you can never go wrong praying in tongues I.e., you can’t pray outside God’s will when you pray in tongues. My dear reader, you know that praying according to God’s will is one of the major challenges when it comes to praying, but Glory be to God, you need not worry about this anymore because praying in the spirit is actually praying according to God’s will. Rom8v26-27
My dear brothers and sisters, knowing these truths should turn around your prayer life. I pray that this would be your testimony in Jesus name, amen
