What are/is Tongues/Speaking in Tongues?

Speaking in Tongues is the supernatural evidence of the holy spirit's infilling in a person's life.

We shall be addressing some common objections people have about tongues.

how?

Objection No.1: Jesus Didnt Speak In Tongues,So I Dont Have To

It is true that all the other seven gifts of the spirit were manifested in the earthly ministry of Jesus except speaking and interpretation of tongues. That is because speaking and interpretation of tongues are for this age we live in, which started on the day of pentecost when the holy spirit descended on the 120 followers of christ.
Jesus mentioned it as one of the gifts that God would give to his people under the new covenant in Mark 16:17-18 "....they shall speak with new tongues"
It was also prophesied about in Isaiah 28:11-12.

SMALLPENIS is speaking in tongues.
Hope for us all.

I so much wish to speak in tongue because I know it will increase my level of prayer , but once I start at a point I can't contiue. Pls what could be responsible and hw can I ask for such ?

The spirit give utterance ; at first you need open your mouth and flow with it, though you brain/understanding will not flow but just keep on and in time your spiritual man will begin to transmitt meanings from the tongues.

Intensify your worship.

one of the ways the devil tries to deceive us is by making us feel like we are saying ghiberish, but here is how to defeat him.
After you have received salvation, the holy spirit is in you, but you need him at a greater level
you dont need to wait long for him, try to pray whole hearted for the infilling of the holy ghost for about 5 to 10 minutes, open your heart whole heartedly and he will surely come upon you, it too me 12minutes the first time I asked for the holy spirit.
You pray until you feel an urge to speak, please take note, the holy spirit will only give you the utterance/urge to speak, but you have to do the talking how you will speak english on a normal day, the holy spirit is not like a radio in your stomach that if you just open your mouth you will be hearing sounds.
Once you start speaking keep going on, it may seem hard but dont stop and keep trusting God that he will give you the next word to say.just flow with the urge. See 1st Corinthians 14:14 and Acts 2:4.
Also note; you are not to understand what you are saying except in some cases, for you are talking to God alone. For you are edifiying(building) yourself.

Hope I helped?

For those who want to know more on tongues, I would recommend reading 1 corinthians and getting this book; 'Tongues Beyond The Upper Room' by Kenneth E. Hagin

Wow thanks guy, you really help with your explaination. I will flow as suggested.
@small, you hav lot inside of you but don't you think your username need to be change?

My little contribution. I see speaking in tongues as the least gift of the spirit. Speaking in tongues edifice us and help us pray in spirit. There are two kinds of tongue: heavenly tongues and human tongues. Someone who speak in tongues may either be speaking in heavenly tongues or other tribal tongues different from his/hers.

Speaking in tongues energies us to pray more beyond our normal endurance and speak the mind of God in the issue being addressed. Why then do I see this gift as the least of all gifts. One who knows whom he or she is in God doesn't count duration of prayer because we operate on decree levels as kings, priest and Gods. About speaking the mine of God, we already have the mind of God through his word unless we don't have the word in us.

I love the giver of the gift (the Holy Spirit) more than His gifts, because once you have him you automatically have His gives which must manifest as the need rises. Most times due to ignorance, we may not know when each gift is manifesting.

One more thing about the gift of the Spirit is any one you are giving to obeying will be prominent in your life. The one you usually neglect will with time not be operational in you.

now that you have recognised your problem and shared it, it is half solved. You can help yourself by praying privately in tongues, and keep praying for courage.
Also note; you musnt shout in tongues for God to hear you or for your prayer to have more power,

Ooppsss ! Sorry damsel. The more you speak in tongues, the faster the shy nature is driven away.

Jude.1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost

OP, i have had some some dreams that came to pass (that was last year).. In the first one, i was in an office with ma dad, i dint recognise the place in ma dream, buh i made a statement in that dream. I sed 'you only had 3' in the dream. 3 moths later, my dad forgot his phones in the office (which I had never been to prior to that day). We found the fones, then as we were about going out, he sed, 'only God knws how many missed calls i would have gotten' then i replied in d dream 'you only had 3'... At that moment, i remembered the dream... It was d same location, exactly the same clothes, the same viewpoint, everything same... I was wondering buh i dint act on it... 2 weeks later, I visited a family friend nd while i was there, i had a dream abt the woman... Someone entered her church and she bowed to greet the person (i hadnt visited the church prior to this time too) but what made this one different was that there was no Audio, i didnt hear anything although i understood what she was doing.. The evening of the second day, it happened exactly like it did in the dream, only with audio this time... Pls is this a 'gift of the spirit' And i haven't seen anything like that in a long time.. Pls does it mean it has stopped or what Your help is appreciated

That is the gift of prophecy working in you, and you need stir it up so it can be clearer and easier to interpret. Pray and medidtate more in the Spirit. You also have to have vast Bible knowledge for you to operate fully on this gift.

Keep deceiving urself-By their Fruit we shall know them nd not their Gift. And mind u nobody has a special or particular Gift it changes according to the will of the Spirit. Demon might be living in u nd u thinking u have the Holy Spirit. To know what Lives in you u must see d Fruits u produce.

Yes God has giving us gifts right from the foundation of the world.
Eph.1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

You can only operate in these gifts if you are in Christ. Its like salvation, it only have effect when you accepts Jesus. Not accepting doesn't mean He hasn't shed His blood for you.

Eph.4: 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
