The prophet Isaiah describes speaking in tongues as "the rest" and "the refreshing." In the New Testament, the apostle Paul tells us that the believer who speaks in a tongue "edifies himself."The word "edify" here is oikodomeo, which means to build up, restore and repair. I have found all this to be true, especially when I'm tired after a long flight. Many a time, despite the jet lag, praying in the Holy Spirit has given me a supernatural rest and energy to carry on preaching and ministering!
My friend, one of the best ways to be refreshed, to enter into rest and remain restful is to pray in tongues throughout the day. You can pray in tongues under your breath on your way to work or while having your coffee break. If you are a homemaker, you can pray in tongues while cooking or doing the laundry. Beloved, when you involve the Holy Spirit and are restful, how can you not experience His supernatural provision in everything you do?
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. —John 16:13
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. —Romans 8:14, NLT
And we know that God causes everything to work together for thegood of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. —Romans 8:28,
The more he did that, the more he was tuned to the Spirit's leading in the areas of his diet, medication and health. Led by the Spirit, he finally got out of his nine-year ordeal!My friend, rest is not inactivity or laziness, but Holy Spirit-directed activity. The more you pray in tongues, the more you'll sense the Spirit's leading. He will lead you out of your valley of depression, debt or disease and bring you to a high place of health and wholeness! ...
"the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." —l Corinthians 11:23-24
Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." Matthew 26:27-28
So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. —John 19:30
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, andby His stripes we are healed. —Isaiah 53:5...
Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. —1 Peter 2:24
We took the Holy Communion, declaring that by Jesus' stripes we had been healed and from that day on we have been eating normally...For over a year now, we have been completely well and able to try so many new foods!Beloved, the work is finished. Whenever you hold the bread and cup in your hands believing this, you will receive Jesus' provision of health for your body! You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. —Psalm 23:5-6
Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered... —Psalm 68:1
The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. —Deuteronomy 28:7

REST IS HOLY SPIRIT-DIRECTED ACTIVITY
One of the great benefits of praying in tongues is that it sensitizes you to the leading of the Holy Spirit. A brother from our church was tormented by panic attacks and depressed to the point of being suicidal. He had other health issues too and had to take many pills each night just to get a bit of sleep.But he started to pray in tongues after he heard me preach on the subject, and experienced divine peace. Every day, he just prayed in tongues. The more he did that, the more he was tuned to the Spirit's leading in the areas of his diet, medication and health. Led by the Spirit, he finally got out of his nine-year ordeal!My friend, rest is not inactivity or laziness, but Holy Spirit-directed activity.

DAILY COMMUNION WITH THE LORD
Why do we take the Holy Communion? Is it to get something out of the Lord? No, taking the Communion reminds us of what Jesus has already provided and accomplished for us at the cross.My friend, has Jesus already made provision for our sins at the cross? Yes! Then you no longer have to live feeling condemned for your sins. Has Jesus already made provision for our healing at the cross? Yes! Then you no longer have to accept the disease in your body, and you can start believing Jesus for total healing. Has Jesus already made provision for our lack on the cross? Yes! Then you no longer have to accept lack and can start believing Jesus for His abundance to start flowing and manifesting in your life.Beloved, take the Communion daily and have a fresh revelation of all the good that Jesus has already made provision for through His finished work. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, andby His stripes we are healed. —Isaiah 53:5...
Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. —1 Peter 2:24
FAMILY HEALED OF FOOD ALLERGIES
A lady from the United Kingdom wrote in to share how taking the Holy Communion and seeing Jesus' finished work havedelivered her and her family from gluten and dairy food intolerance:None of us could eat dairy foods or foods containing gluten. Our diet was very restricted... However, when we heard the messages on the Holy Communion and the perfect exchange Jesus performed on the cross, we decided that it had to be the truth, and therefore we were already healed.We took the Holy Communion, declaring that by Jesus' stripes we had been healed and from that day on we have been eating normally...For over a year now, we have been completely well and able to try so many new foods!Beloved, the work is finished.
