The last part of this Scripture was written about Jesus asking His disciples the question, “Can you not watch and pray with Me for one hour?”
The last part of this quotation is…. “for the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak (Matthew). 26:41)
WHILE PRAYING IN TONGUES WITH A ‘SEER’ (one who by the Spirit sees into the spirit realm) understood my tongues of the Holy Spirit, and said to me “Ray, this is what came from your lips in ‘TONGUES’.
This article will add greatly to your understanding of this subject. WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES, OR ARE WE?
Also as you began to speak ‘I SAW A VISION’, and HEARD THIS, “You said, “We must watch even while we are ‘PRAYING’.
The ENEMY comes upon many because they ‘DON’T WATCH WHILE PRAYING’, or PREACHING’.
GREAT TRIBULATION IS COMING OUR WAY. PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE.
I spoke this by the Holy Spirit in a language I didn’t understand. That’s what speaking in tongues is.
By the Spirit of God, when filled with the Holy Ghost we speak a very real language without our understanding it.
That’s part of the power of it. We may or may not know how or what to pray for, but when we pray in the ‘Spirit’, or ‘Tongues’ we always pray the will of God.
It gets to the person when in greatest need, and answers before the Devil even figures out what’s happening.
It will encourage you to read the article entitled WHY NOT SPEAK IN TONGUES.
We, in tongues may be speaking mysteries directly to God and not to man (I Cor. 14:2). No one understands it, including you, because it’s spoken in a language that no one in the congregation knows.
Note that speaking in tongues is not God speaking. The Spirit, however, is ENABLING YOU to speak directly to God in a language He gives you.
You’ll also want to read…. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW VERSATILE ‘TONGUES ARE?’
Compare what God showed this ‘Seer, or Prophet’ from my ‘Tongues of the Spirit’ that I was speaking with what happened while Nehemiah and his servants were building the wall.
(Nehemiah 4:15-21) “When our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work.
From that day on, half of my servants worked on construction, and half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail.
And the leaders stood behind the whole house of Judah, 17 who were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were loaded in such a way that EACH LABORED ON THE WORK WITH ONE HAND AND HELD HIS WEAPON WITH THE OTHER. 18 And each of the builders had his sword strapped at his side while he built.
So we labored at the work, and HALF OF THEM HELD THE SPEARS FROM THE BREAK OF DAWN UNTIL THE STARS CAME OUT.
Read this article that reinforces what you’re reading here. THE ENEMY HAS BOW IN HAND. HE HAS TARGETED YOU. WHAT WILL YOU DO?
I also said to the people at that time, “Let every man and his servant pass the night within Jerusalem, that they may be a GUARD for us BY NIGHT and may LABOR BY DAY.
So, my bro/sis even while praying and working for God we must be watchful, because the enemy may attack from any angle, direction or time. He will attack when you least expect it.
Who of us would think that he would attack us while we’re praying, preaching, or witnessing.
Satan throws us a curve when someone close to you, or someone you’re depending on, that the work be not hindered or stopped becomes a weapon in the hand of the Devil, either knowingly, or unknowingly and hinders, wounds, attacks, or stops the work of God.
Have you even considered that the Powers of Darkness have a plan to wound you, (fatally if possible), but if not, simply to put you out of commission.
Remember, Jesus told His disciples while He prayed in the garden, ‘WATCH AND PRAY’.
He didn’t say, ‘Watch and then Pray’. Nor did He say, ‘Pray and then Watch’, but ‘WATCH AND PRAY’ that you enter not into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matt. 26:41)

So, my friend, God has led you to this and other articles that will strengthen, bless, encourage you in your fighting the good fight of faith, and warring against an unrelenting enemy and winning. BUT THANKS BE TO GOD WHICH GIVES US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD, JESUS, CHRIST (I Corinthians 15:57)
