The Language the Enemy Cannot Decode

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (1 Corinthians 14:2)
The Holy Spirit will use your mouth as a weapon against the enemy when you speak the Word of God over a situation, and He will also use it when you speak in an unknown tongue. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are speaking directly to God in a language that bypasses your mind and any demonic interference. The enemy has no defense against you praying in your Heavenly language whatsoever.
Paul wrote that in the spirit we “speaketh mysteries.” The word mysteries that Paul used means divine secrets. But secrets kept from whom? God is not trying to hide secrets from you. The Word of God is clear that the Spirit reveals the deep things of God to His people. First Corinthians 2:9-10 says eye has not seen and ear has not heard the things God has prepared for those who love Him, but God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. His secrets are not being withheld from you. Then what are the secret mysteries being withheld from? The enemy.
There is a warfare dimension to praying in tongues that the majority of the modern church has largely missed. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are communicating directly with the Father in a spiritual language that the enemy cannot decode. He does not know what you are praying. He cannot intercept it. He cannot counter it. He cannot build a strategy against it because he does not know what is being said. Praying in the Holy Ghost is a classified, undercover, covert style of communication, straight from the Holy Ghost inside of you to the throne of God, completely secured against any interference from the kingdom of darkness.
Practical Application
What the Holy Ghost prays through your mouth is always perfectly aligned with the Father's will. This is why the enemy fights so hard against a believer’s prayer language. It’s a weapon he has no defense against.
Jude 20; Romans 8:26
