I ve been in the min-istry more than twenty-five years and had many wonderful encounters with the Lord, but Ican truthfully say that the revelation knowledge God has imparted to me in these last fewyears has completely changed my life, taking me to a place in God I had never before , you can t put up walls where there is no foundation. You can t add a roof wherethere are no walls. The life-changing truths God has been showing me couldn t have beenadded to my life had not a strong foundation of the Word been built inside of me line upon line,precept upon precept, through many hours and many years of praying in tongues while med-itating on the now know more than ever before that praying in tongues is the revelation gift that helpedlay a scriptural foundation in my life.

4 God was getting me ready for the awesome, eternaltruths He is now pouring into my Spirit in preparation for the days to come. He is using theculmination of all those years of praying in tongues to open up to me a whole new realm ofunderstanding in very measure of God s Power in a believer s life is dependent on how much of his life isordered by the Holy Ghost. Therefore, from the very beginning, the primary message of thisministry has been praying in tongues. Over the decades, the Lord has imparted a wealth ofrevelation knowledge to my Spirit on this subject. Step by step, He has taught me how to walkout of a life dominated by the flesh into a new life dominated by the Holy Spirit through thematchless gift of praying in my heavenly prayer language.

5 Then in 1997, the Lord spoke strongly to my Spirit , saying, This message on tongues hascome to maturity. At first, I thought God meant the message had come to maturity in I came tounderstand that He wasn t talking about me in particular at all. He was saying that the timehad come to share in a broader measure the revelation knowledge He had given me over theyears regarding praying in tongues. The message had come to maturity for the Body of Christ. The Lord has commissioned me to teach believers how to live a life of Power as they walkin the Spirit , always building on the foundation of the Word and praying in tongues as theHoly Spirit gives utterance. This book is written out of my desire to be faithful to that have not only taught the truths contained in this book for many years; I have also pur-sued them with all my heart in my own personal walk with God.

6 So believe me when I tell youthis: As you read this book and diligently apply its principles, the day will come when you lookback on your life and say in awe and wonder, I m not the same person. I have learned to walkin the Spirit , and it has completely changed my life forever!

7 In His infinite wisdom, He left nothing out as He looked down through the ages. Hepassed through generation after generation, planning every intricate detail of every life thatwould live on the face of the earth. God s desire was to recover as many as possible fromSatan s rebellious camp and to gather unto Himself a people He could call His in the midst of this divine planning session, long before the eons of time began,God came across yourname! Then He formulated a perfect plan just for you that is unlike anyother plan for any other person who has ever been born. Imagine God the Father looked outacross the great void of space and time and saw the moment in time when you would live onthis earth. Then He decided precisely how that moment should be filled!

8 We Must ChooseHis PlanGod conceived a wonderful plan for every one of us. In His plan, we were predestined tobecome His sons and daughters at the Cross. But one potential obstacle stands between us andGod s perfectly conceived purposes: Using the free will God has given us, we must choose towalk in the plan He has ordained for our lives. God looks for a way to approach each of us in order to present His personal plan for ourlives. He begins with the preaching of the Cross that encourages us to accept Jesus Christ asSavior and Lord. If we accept Jesus, we take our first step into the plan God predestined forus before the foundations of the world. But if we reject Him, then like so many before us, wewill live and die without ever taking that first step salvation into the divine purpose forour when I was ministering in India, I looked out at the crowd of thousands before meand marveled that God could have a specific plan for every individual in that vast truth is, God formulated a perfect plan for every single person born since Adam.

9 He onlywaits for each person to find out what that plan is and then to choose to walk in it. Jesus talked about His plan of eternal life for mankind in Matthew 7:13,14:Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that lead-eth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and fewthere be that find it. Jesus words indicate that the majority of people end their lives with one final journey intoa godless eternity without Him. A person can live and die and go to hell without knowing Jesusor fulfilling God s plan for his life. However, that doesn t change the fact that God had a per-fect plan of redemption and purpose for that person; he just never discovered it.

10 7 But, praise God, you don t have to be one of that number! If you have found the Cross andmade Jesus your personal Savior, nothing can stop you from discovering the rest of God s planfor your life. All you have to do is chooseto obey Him. The Holy Spirit Prays for UsSo somewhere, somehow, in God s great and marvelous plan for His creation, your namecame up. And God, in His eternal wisdom and counsel, laid out a perfect plan for your personallife. Then the Holy Spirit did a wonderful thing. He listened intently to every detail of your lifeas the Father planned your birth, your ministry, your prosperity, and every aspect of yourredemption and personal life. In fact, the Holy Spirit is the One who has been put in charge of overseeing God s plan foryour personal life.
