Don't worry about God,
His understanding is like the depth of the sea,

But keep on offering your prayers to Him , He ears you...

And if you so much border about getting interpretations to ur prayers,
Then start writing them down, and post those words to Nairaland the same way they pampered U on these topic , they will also give you the interpretations.

arcbabe: Pls i didn't post this in Islamic section neither did i seek the advice of muslims in this thread. It high time you stick to your Quran instead of studying the bible just to change it meaning and trying to confuse people. Majority of christians belief in the words of the bible and don't take it upon themselves to study the Quran,but you see muslims studying the bible just to blasphem God. Pls you can go to another thread to do that b'cos i won't accept such here,this is not an avenue for you to insult the integrity and sincerity of the word of God. Am a christian and will want muslims to stop disturbing and trying to make me change my religion. Respect is reciprocal, i can never say anything bad about Islam and i also will want you to respect my religion. Thanks


Pls keep it up, ure just encountering the spirit of God, meanwhile there are different gifts 1 Corinthian 12. Verse 7 says: Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

I must tell you, I manifest my own spirit even as a baby in the Lord. For God has put in me the spirit to see the future, I foresee things that will happen in the future. I don't brag with it, I keep it to myself. I see many things in my dreams b/4 they happen and they happen almost exactly the way I see them. I avoid the ones i want to avoid and still keep it to myself. That is the spirit of God, meanwhile I can't speak in tongues.

my dear, if you had actually been going through a lot before the strange language thing begins, you may need to see a doctor. except if of course you think you are speaking in tongue. an assumption which beats any rational line of thinking.
God is the Greatest! Just exactly my thought. Depression could also cause this or being possessed as she claimed being studying alone and confused. Had a friend in such a situation.

THUNDER4real: let THUNDER STRIKE DEAD any body that is insulting Jesus, God the father and the holy spirit who is made manifest through SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
There was never this verse in the earlier verses of the Bible. This is an Interpolition. You dont need all these to wade people off this thread and whosoever insults Jesus Christus knows where he is heading towards.

John1305: Its amazing to see someone bring up this issue to NL and I am so happy.

Dear OP,

This is not for you to be scared, but as Apostle Paul, (whom you must have read about) said, I wouldn't have you IGNORANT."

So also, do not ignore the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This act which you described, happened to me too, and I tell, I have gotten far beyond even my expectations. Even the things I couldn't pray about in (beyond my understanding) I saw them materializing. I found peace praying in the Holy Ghost so much that, I tagged it my first Language.

Rom 8:26-28 describes one of the wonderful reasons why this invaluable gift was given to us believers, and I believe it is more applicable to this case of yours (there are more uses).
"Also the Holy Spirit helpeth our infirmities, for we no not what to pray as we ought to, ... With groaning that can not be uttered'..

The Lord grant you light. And strength.

Re: Help! I Am Praying In A Language I Don't Understand. by viski: 11:03am On Nov 29, 2013
I understand people, that I can't speak in tongue doesn't mean, I should discriminate those that have got the gift (besides, I've got mine too, therefore, I refuse to feel inferior), many who antagonise this gift from God secretly wish they could have this gift, but due to sin, not denying self and not submitting to the Holy Spirit, they were not given this gift, if you are in this category, don't be angry, the truth is bitter, just swallow it for rectitude. Mind you, don't misunderstand me, if you can't speak in tongue, you're not a sinner, neither are you inferior to those who can, and if you can speak in tongue, don't ever think you are superior spiritually to those who cannot, there are many other gifts that we can have as a true christian: *Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another SPEAKING in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the INTERPRETATION of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, JUST AS HE DETERMINES.*[1Corinthians 12:7-11]
Speaking/interpretation here shows that not all that speak in tongue can interpret, they are two different gifts, the last two sentence of the 1Corinthians 12:10 says,"to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, AND to still ANOTHER the interpretation of tongues". In chapter 14 of 1Corinthians, Paul urges us to follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, speaking in tongues is just one of the numerous spiritual gifts, why should it be an issue? Anyone who speaks in tongue speaks to God and not man, he utters mysteries in his spirit[1Corinthians 14:2] He who speaks in tongues edifies himself [1Corinthians 14:4] Paul did not also forget to press us on to desire other more proactive spiritual gift that will be more beneficial to the church like prophesy, healing, knowledge, faith, distinguishing btw spirits, LOVE etc. For my peeps out there who speaks in tongue, listen to Paul's advice, Paul said and I quote, "For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says."[1Corinthians 14:13] Mind you, not all will speak in tongue, not all can speak in tongue, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and the Spirit of the Lord overshadow you, it will spring up fruits which are gifts with which you'll serve God better, the gift is given in accordance with each and everyone's capability. "And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all have gifts of healing? DO ALL SPEAK IN TONGUES? Do all interpret? Now eagerly desire the greater gifts." [1Corinthians 12:28-31]

"For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the FOOLISHNESS of what was preached to save those who believe." (1Corinthians 1:21)

Well.....OP.

The has nothing to do with whether Christianity or Islam.

There are disembodied souls all around us. These are souls of men who have died without shedding their passions and vices, hence, they are earthbound. These souls can take temporary or permanent control of one's brain, if permitted through one's spiritual strength.

It is highly probably that you are the subject of psychic pranks by these beings. In other words, you are temporary possessed. You may have unconsciously opened yourself by being too emotional, this breaks down natural psychic defenses and makes you vulnerable. The fact that you can not understand or control the process is a proof of this fact. The brain controls the body. These beings hijack your brain and control your nervous system thereby rendering you incapable of controlling your body. Be careful, these beings can drive you into actions that are not good based on their vices and inclinations. Examples of serial murderers hearing voices in their head and urging them to commit murder is a version of the unnatural control. Research on the phenomena of automatic writing, mediumship, etc.

This has nothing to do the Holy Spirit.

Christians telling you that tongues are heavenly languages understood only by God, do not have any idea of the spiritual worlds. Human words are only needed here on earth as a medium of conveying our thoughts to others. In the higher worlds closer to God, words are not needed. There, a thought is equivalent to a word, an action even a real experience. Thoughts, words and action are one and the same. By that, language is useless. You only communicate with God through heartfelt thoughts. Words only clothe our thoughts here.

In conclusion, the greatest power of the human being is WILL. If you exercise your will with unshakeable faith, you can easily disperse any psychic attack or oppression. Try it. Consciously will that alien force to leave. It will bow out. Even Satan can not stand a man with strong spiritual will.


If I don't make any sense, kindly ignore me. Thanks.

WAOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU, MANY CHRISTAIAN HAVE CRIED AND REQUESTED FOR SPEAKING IN TONGUE WHICH IS ONE OF THE EVIDENCE OF THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN CHRISTAIN'D LIFE.
MANY HAD FAKED IT.
GOD GIVES IT TO PEOPLE IN DIVERSE WAYS , SOME WHILE PRAYING IN THEIR ROOMS, THROUGH MINISTRATION FROM A SPIRIT FILLED MAN OF GOD, SOME WHILE WORSHIPING GOD.
IMMEDIATELY YOU RECIEVED IT, IT FLOWS OUT WHENEVER YOU ARE COMMUNICATEING WITH GOD. IT ENABLES YOU NOT TO PRAY AMISS.
SOMETIMES WHAT YOPU WANT TO ASK FOR IS NOT WHAT GOD ACTUALLY WANT TO DO FOR YOU, SO THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL POSSESS YOU TO SPEAK IN TONGUES THAT ONLY GOD UNDERSTANDS.
EVEN SATAN DONT UNDERSTAND IT, SO HE WONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ASKING OF,AND THUS WILL NOT ACCUSE YOU BEFORE GOD.
MY DEAR CONGRATULATION.
NEXT ACTION:

START PRAYING FOR INFILLING,I.e FOR GOD TO INCREASE YOU AND HE CAN ALSO GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF INTERPPRETATION OF TONGUES WHEREBY YOU CAN SPEAK AND INTERPRET.


I, BEFORE I RECIEVED MY OWN, I PRAYED, FASTED, CRIED, WENT FOR MINISTRATION, INFACT I LONGED FOR IT, FINALLY I RECIEVD AT A CRUSADE IN 2008.

@OP you do well to read Isaiah28:11 and 1Cor14. I strongly recommend you get the book "The Power of Tongues" by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD, this will enlighten you and also rhapsody of Realities, this will inspire your daily and consistent study of the bible. Kindly note that not everybody (christian inclusive) will speak in tongues, but why should you be among them. If those tongues are from God, as I'm very sure they are, you ll give account of what you did with it.

for those asking why those in the old testament didn't speak in tongues even when the spirit of God was upon them, its because they were not born again and no one could have been born again before the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

@OP it is the glory of God to code a thing, it is the honour of kings to search out a matter!!!
