CHARGED UP IN THE HOLY GHOST

CHARGED UP IN THE HOLY GHOST

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue 

edifieth himself… (1 Corinthians 14:4).

One of the synonyms for the Greek word 

translated “edify” is to “charge,” like a 

battery. Jude 1:20 (AMPC) says, “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.” He’s telling you to 

get charged up in the Holy Ghost; embolden yourself 

in the Holy Ghost through speaking in tongues. 

This is what you do when there’re matters arising: 

you charge yourself up in the Holy Ghost! Are there 

projects you want to undertake and you’re somewhat 

not sure what steps to take? Get charged up in the 

Holy Ghost! Activate the wisdom and power of God 

by praying in the Holy Ghost until you’re filled with 

the Spirit. 

Ephesians 5:18 says, “And be not drunk with wine, 

wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.” This 

is the secret to a day-to-day life of the miraculous and 

supernatural: being filled with the Spirit. If someone 

was timid, and began the exercise of speaking in 

tongues consistently, soon enough, he’d become bold 

and sound. 

When you speak in other tongues, and your spirit 

is charged, it takes over your mind; your spirit will rise 

like a giant from within and dominate the outward man. 

Paul said to Timothy, “...stir up the gift of God that is 

in you…” (2 Timothy 1:6). One of the ways to do this 

is through speaking in tongues. 

The reason some Christians faint in the day of 

adversity is because their inner man is weak, and 

the reason for that weakness is that they don’t speak 

in tongues sufficiently. Speaking in tongues imparts 

courage to your spirit. It produces in you a sense of 

absolute dominion over adversities. 

Refuse to live an ordinary life. There’s power 

in you; stir it up always. In your privacy, speak in 

tongues. When you’re on the go, speak in tongues. 

Keep yourself supercharged all the time. This isn’t for 

a particular Christian denomination; it’s for every child 

of God. Get yourself charged up in the Holy Ghost 

always.

CONFESSION

I’m emboldened, strengthened and fortified by the 

Spirit to do all that the Lord has called me to do. 

I’m filled with miracle-working ability by the greater 

One who lives in me, energizing me from within! 

Glory to God!
