Jude 20 [KJV]
But ye beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith praying in the Holy Ghost.
In this text, Jude is talking about “building up”, that means there is an existing structure. The most holy faith here refers to as a sanctified faith which means the topmost level of faith you have attained at a particular time.
Think of building a skyscraper, it goes deep down to go high up. The higher you want to go, the deeper the foundation must get. You build layer by layer, block by block until the desire design is achieved. What people see is the edifice, but it rose to become an edifice.
Let’s read the Amplified Classic Version…
Jude 20 [AMPC]
But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;
By praying in the Holy Ghost, we rise like an edifice; praying in the Holy Ghost will build and bear you up; the next time you pray again in other tongues, you will not go below that topmost faith.
The Spirit builds up to a benchmark where your faith is stabilized. At this level, any challenge that rises to the level of your faith will be crushed because you have risen above them by praying in the Holy Ghost.
When we spending quality time in praying in other tongues, we are actually building to effectively carry out the task God has assigned for us; we are stirring up the gift of God from within, fanning into flames whatever is staying dormant and bringing into fruition the plans and purposes of God in our lives.
The Holy Ghost expresses Himself and His will through our vocal chords. This is real prayer. It is the Holy Spirit praying IN ME and THROUGH ME. The Holy Spirit is praying out the will of the Father.
The Holy Spirit is in us executing the present and the next plan in God’s item. The Holy Spirit in us positions us to pray to cause changes and make dynamic power available.
Fan it to flame! Express the God – life that’s in you! You’re capable of so much more! Yield yourself and stir up the gift of God from within you.
DECLARATION
Dear Precious Holy Ghost, thank you for your indwelling presence and this glorious divine elixir at work in me. I am making progress in you. I am making power available dynamic in its working everywhere and changing my world for Christ Jesus. (Go ahead now and spend time praying in other tongues)
