Praying in the Spirit. This is a powerful weapon in building our inner strength. Today I realize, if I can spend more time in praying in tongues rather than fighting it by thoughts, it's much more effective. I really feel like God is sending resistance in my way every day for me to lift those wieghts through praying in the Spirit. Today as usual I'd watched 2 pretty dark movies, don't suggest anyone to watch it, but since it's part of the class. I realize whenever I found things disturbing, I can quietly pray in tongues, it's a far more effective way in resisting temptation. Walking out of the class will be my second option, since I don't want to miss too much of it. I walked out in an intense scene after 4 hours bombarding with drama. Praise God.
Driving home, I prayed in tongues with sternness and concentration, I feel the wellspring as usually lightly in my stomach. My mind is still pretty chaotic. I try to use tongues to control my thoughts and bringing them under captives. Until around the 40 minute mark I start to feel sleepy. I pull myself up, and I knew it is something unclean on the spirit, it is my weight of the day. If I can resist this weight, I'd done my work out of the day, and I gain ground. I did not shout as usual, instead, I pray with greater concentration. I did overcome it right then when I arrive church. Usually I can feel the breakthrough when it's through, I feel gently heat and warmth going through my back or other body parts, which I sensed it. If I go for longer, I can be baptize by fire.
-------
The enemy continue attack me in my weak spot - rejection and my confidence. Quickest way to overcome is to proclaim truth of love over myself, Alvan God delights in you. Alvan you are loved. I have to say in a very sincere way in order to work. In other words, I need to accept myself first using the love of God. God will anoint me when I speak. I cannot linger on the feeling of dizziness or irritation or shame or fear, etc, which is my usual pattern. Then I should cast them out with sternness, doesn't have to be loud.
