And fo you think there is nobody that understands tongue language

Are you a Muslim to start with...let me know from where to help your CONFUSION....

Have seen anyone come up and say that aman say blowing iyagasebubuki is speaking one native kenyan or brazillian language and he translated what the man said? No! Even Never!

Not once has anyone confirmed their act and this is clear proof that God is embarrassing them. And, i am not muslim!

You guys keep parroting this same line without fully understanding the story. They didn't speak human languages as you say, but whatever they spoke was understood by people in their very own language. You may not understand this phenomenon but let me give you a scenario to help you.

In a crusade, a girl was filled with the spirit and started prelophesying, in the congregation, there were Igbos, Hausas, Yorubas, Efiks, all language in Nigeria, and somehow while this one individual was prophesying, every single person could understand her in their own native language, and guess what? The girl said she didn't even know what she was saying. It was gibberish like you called it.

Kindly explain to me how this one girl, speaking one language, was understood by people with many different languages in their very own language? That's what happened in the Pentecost too. Read the story again and you will note that some people in that crowd heard gibberish coming from the disciples, hence they called them drunk. Will you call someone who is soundly speaking your language drunk?

That's the story below, read it!

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:4‭-‬13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

[5] And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

[6] And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

[7] Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?

[8] And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? ”..

Read again, they were speaking other tongues NOT STRANGE TONGUES!

Which is they were speaking their natiral language or they spoke other people's languages eg like an ashanti speaking ibo, ehen or like when we are amazed by a chinese man speaking youruba.

And members of the public who were foreigners witb those languages HEARD THEM, exactly as we are shocked to see an oyibo man speaking bini.

Its as simple as that. They were not speaking a strange or manufacturable language but were speaking either their normal local language which the foreigners suddenly acquired uderstanding of the hebrew language even thougb they do not hear nor understand hebrew because of The Power of God.

Or suddenly, Peter found himself speaking efik and the efik man in the street was shocked to see a whiteman speaking efik.

Those are the 2 natural scenarios which explain what happened on that womderfull day.

AND SEE AFTER THAT DAY, IT NEVER EVER HAPPENED AGAIN! But, as we havr.already seen those who fabricated it do it again and again and again. And can always do it at their will and motion. CLEARLY, ITS FAKE and definitely unholy spirit!

grin grin Ble means something ooo....Google it..

U have not met everyone..and there are many undocumented and unpopular languages in the world..
grin My funny get valid point is...there is no need invalidating someone's tongues as fake or rubbish because we can't audit or compare it to a popular language we know..

For example.... "Bli" which can sound like gibberish to u ...also means to be come, to get, or to grow in Norwegian

grin Na lie! I don't need to meet everyone to know that blebleble is not under anybody"s language, for this fake act is so notorious that everyone has been waiting for years for someone neutral to come out and point out and say, "no that pastor is not faking his tongue, he is speaking .Kiev langiage, exactly like what happened.to our beloved Obahiagbon with his higgi.hagga, and Crinkum crankum grin grin grin

simonhabby:


So why did you stop being a Christian?
Just didn’t make sense to me
There is no clear concept of what God is

Some say Jesus is God
When you ask them if God knows everything, they say yes. They when you tell them that Jesus said he didn’t know the hour(that’s the day of judgement)

Then they tell you that God is 3 in one
Some believe that these 3(the father, the son annd the Holy Spirit)are co-equal partners, and that they have equal powers.

Then you tell them that Jesus says the father is the ‘only true God’ . Then they will tell you that God is a mystery.

So many things are not clear.
The religion is centered around the teachings of Paul. Yet Paul never met Jesus, and he disagreed with the other disciples of Jesus including James the step brother of Jesus.

I really thank God for giving me the gift of speaking in tongues, ever since then, my prayer life has changed. Now I can pray for 3 hours, 4 hours without getting tired.

I still remember 31st of may, 2024. It is a day I will never forget. I didn't even dream that I will ever speak in tongues, I never prayed about it, infact I was not expecting it.

Let me tell you you truth, initially, I hated the idea of praying in tongues, I thought it was not possible, I thought it was scam, I thought that people were just speaking anything that comes out of their mouth. It was because I have prayed earnestly for it before that God should give me this gift and enable me to pray in tongues, but I didn't see it forth-coming. I prayed seriously for it, read books that dealth on Holy Ghost baptism, exercised my faith, opened my mouth for God to fill it, yet nothing happened, so I gave up the idea and stopped praying about it. But little did I know that God heard the prayer and was waiting for the appointed time to bring it to manifestation.

On that day, I was hungry to just praise and worship God and nothing more. Once it was 4.pm in the evening, I started with praise. I praised God for a very long time.

After I was true with praise, I entered into deep worship song. I worship God with songs with all my heart for a very long time.

When I was true with worshipping God with songs, I entered into a prayer of praise and. I began to call God sweet names, I was calling Him by His attributes praising and and worshipping Him. Then I became tired. I decided to sit down because I have been standing for over one hour.

As I sat down, I felt a sensation in my body, from that moment, I knew in my spirit that something was about to happen, and it happened.

Immediately something began to move from my body, immediately, it came to my mouth. Before I knew it, my mouth opened, I started to speak in tongues or pray in tongues. It was so powerful. It was like rivers of living water flowing out of my belly.

For almost 45 minutes, I was praying in tongues as the Holy Spirit gave me utterance. It was so great. It was lovely. It was so much that it didn't want to stop. It was like borehole water that doesn't finish, infact I have to force myself to stop it.

After that encounter, my prayer life has never remained the same. I can now pray for longer hours like 3 hours, 4 hours without getting tired. Before I received the gift of tongues, I could only pray for 30 minutes to 1 hour before getting tired or running out of words.

It has reached to the extent of whenever I want to pray but don't know what to pray, I will pray a simple prayer and tell God that I want to pray in tongues that the Holy Spirit should possess my lips, and that the Holy Spirit should pray through me. Immediately, my lips will open and I will start praying in tongues. God is alive, and He answers prayer. My prayer life have changed since then. Infact I am addicted to prayer. It is burning inside of me. Any day that passes without me praying is like I want to die. I can't survive without prayer.

My fellow pastor, evangelist, brother, sister, desire this gift of praying in tongues. It is more powerful and effective than praying with your understanding. By praying in tongues, you don't know what you are praying. But in the spirit, you are speaking mysteries. As you are praying in tongues, God can use your prayer and heal someone in China. Your prayer can travel to India, Japan, U.S.A, London, even to your village etc and lose someone in bondage.

I plead with you, desire this gift more than anything else. Remember, prayer is a powerful weapon. With it, you can touch anybody around the world right on your knees.

Good morning and have a pleasant day.

Happy Sunday.

We want someone who can help us with solutions to the problem in Nigeria. Someone who can pray his or her way to return Nigeria to the blessed nation it should be.
We want someone who will pray to solve our power problem
Prayer is good.
Prayer is powerful
Prayer should be personal.

Imagine working or learning a skill fervently for 3 to 4 hours everyday, I am sure you will be a millionaire not just in Naira but also in dollars by now. As the saying goes "Two hands working can do more work than a thousand clasp in prayer" and speaking in tongues.

Anyway, all is about Oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. These are happy or feel good hormones released into the brain when you undertake certain actions or consume certain substances. Some people release these happy hormones by dancing and night clubbing, others use psychotic substances like cannabis or alcohol to get happy or high, others still use meditation, prayer or trance to get their dose of happy hormones.

The problem with all these is that these methods of getting happy and high are very addictive and once you are hooked, you always long to get high again. Then on waking up you hit your low, and then the need to get high once again. In all these your situation or condition the same or even worse.

Religion has the same effect and highs as taking cocaine. Nothing more, nothing less. It's all starts and dies in the feelings.

OP will learn not to waste his life couple of years down the lane when he is overtaken by poverty.

I said blebleble! You now came with your own one word "ble".which you.said i should google.

Meanwhile, blebleble and those faking tongues are more than just one word, so your recom was not useable.

Secondly, simple logic tells you that "he who.asserts must prove" so op saying he speaks foreign language requires to be proven by a person with that foreign language, especially with the fact that we know it is fakable. So the onus is on him to prove beypnd the doubt of faking, that he is genuine just like Obahiagbon with his higgi.hagga, and Crinkum crankum grin grin grin

So, stop being angry that your proposition did not hold up.

Exactly! That's why a society that's gets high on religion simultaneously also gets high on hard drugs like cocaine, marijuana, codine, etc. Eg highly religious South American countries are the headquarters of hard drug. Even Taliban ruled Afghanistan is the epicentre of cocaine trade and use in Asia. Meanwhile, less religious countries like China have little drug problems.
