The gift of tongues is a powerful prayer tool. Keep seeking God’s face sincerely and one day He will give you utterance. |
Re: Speaking In Tongues by spartan117(m): 10:01pm On May 10, 2020 |
Toyorlee1:Glad to know! Then speaking in tongues is 100% for you. 1 Corinthians 14:2 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. You don't have to understand other peoples tongues because they are speaking to God not to you. What you need to do is get baptized in the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. It will change your life. Do you want to receive the baptism of the holy ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues? Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 1 Like |

![]() Like some have rightly spoken, speaking in tongue is a very powerful tool. You need to thirst for it earnestly to receive the gift. I was like you before. Didn't believe it was real, like how could one do it. So after i became a worker whenever we were asked as workers to pray in the spirit; I could not join. I became worried and began to thirst and pray at every Holy ghost service to receive the gift nothing. And I wasn't going yo pretend about it. So I kept praying. Then one time, I went for a one on one deliverance session with an mfm prophet. He asked if I speak in tongues I said no. He asked if I was willing to receive the gift I said yes. So we started. By the time this man was done with me ( hitting and boxing me) lol. He made me kneel down and ask me to release myself and start praying. few mins into the prayer ( he was moving around the auditorium praying) I felt a rush of wind and I began to speak but I stopped immediately cos I was somewhat ashamed of what I was saying but the man of God shouted continue! Let it flow.. Omor.... That was how I began o. This was in 2016. Since then, once I'm praying and it becomes so intense my tongue changes. So if you desire it, you'll receive. Its a very wonderful and refreshing experience. Glory to God.! 2 Likes |

spartan117: What about 1 Corinthians 14:9 When someone speaks in tongues, no one understands a word he says, because he’s not speaking to people, but to God—he is speaking intimate mysteries in the Spirit. But when someone prophesies, he speaks to encourage people, to build them up, and to bring them comfort. The one who speaks in tongues advances his own spiritual progress, while the one who prophesies builds up the church. I would be delighted if you all spoke in tongues, but I desire even more that you impart prophetic revelation to others. Greater gain comes through the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless there is interpretation so that it builds up the entire church. My dear friends, what good is it if I come to you always speaking in tongues? But if I come with a clear revelation from God, or with insight, or with a prophecy, or with a clear teaching, I can enrich you. Similarly, if musical instruments, such as flutes or stringed instruments, are out of tune and don’t play the arrangement clearly, how will anyone recognize the melody? If the bugle makes a garbled sound, who will recognize the signal to show up for the battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak in a language that’s easily understood, how will anyone know what you’re talking about? You might as well save your breath! I suppose that the world has all sorts of languages, and each conveys meaning to the ones who speak it. But I am like a foreigner if I don’t understand the language, and the speaker will be like a foreigner to me. And that’s what’s happening among you. You are so passionate about embracing the manifestations of the Holy Spirit! Now become even more passionate about the things that strengthen the entire church. So then, if you speak in a tongue, pray for the interpretation to be able to unfold the meaning of what you are saying. For if I am praying in a tongue, my spirit is engaged in prayer but I have no clear understanding of what is being said. So here’s what I’ve concluded. I will pray in the Spirit, but I will also pray with my mind engaged. I will sing rapturous praises in the Spirit, but I will also sing with my mind engaged. Otherwise, if you are praising God in your spirit, how could someone without the gift participate by adding his “amen” to your giving of thanks, since he doesn’t have a clue of what you’re saying? Your praise to God is admirable, but it does nothing to strengthen and build up others. I give thanks to God that I speak in tongues more than all of you, but in the church setting I would rather speak five words that can be understood than ten thousand exotic words in a tongue. That way I could have a role in teaching others. Some even speak in tongues when preaching to the people.. Though I'm not saying speaking in tongues is not real... But der r ways of using it |
Re: Speaking In Tongues by spartan117(m): 10:57pm On May 10, 2020 |
Toyorlee1:Yes when you are addressing a congregation, you should try as much as possible to interprete your tongues so they may understand. However when you are praying to God whether in private or in public or in Church, you are free to speak in tongues as much as you want because It is God not man you are praying to. Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Are you ready to get baptized in the holy spirit? |

You people are mixing up everything and confusing people spartan117:see, have you ever heard babalawo doing incantation? That is speaking in tongues for you. In those days, when prophets receives a prophecy from God they will do little incantation like talking mysteries before delivering the prophecy to the people, that incantation was what Paul was referring to here as tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:3 Now, you are talking about baptism of the holy spirit in the book of act, something that is totally different from prophetic incantation and has nothing to do with prophecy or did any of the disciples prophesy anything on the day of Pentecost? Rather, what tongues was referred to in this scripture was Christians speaking languages they couldn't understand previously before the holy ghost baptism. Act 2:6 So, when you see Christians today doing sketelobborkata!! in their prayers who are they deceiving? ![]() ![]() |

Re: Speaking In Tongues by paxonel(m): 5:08pm On May 11, 2020 |
spartan117:that question isn't necessary! what is necessary is. ...whosoever believes have everlasting life (John 3:16). ..confession that Jesus is the Christ is made into salvation (John 10:10) ..He that believed in him is not condemned (John 3:18) ..This is the work of God, that you believe in him(John 6:29). To believe in him is what is necessary. Your speaking in tongues or incantations during prayer can never be the evidence, the evidence is you, your faith in him(Hebrews 11:1) You speaking in tongues or incantation isn't necessary, except you want to prophesy, even with the the prophesying it is still not necessary, Just say the prophecy people will hear. |

Re: Speaking In Tongues by paxonel(m): 6:41pm On May 11, 2020 |
Stephenmoka4:see, by the time you keep meeting with a group of people who are speaking in tongues and you pray with them you will soon get used to the sound of the tongue as you keep listening to them, that will trigger you to speak in tongues using exactly the sound that you have heard that they are using, it is natural. But if you don't gather with them nothing will trigger you to speak. That was how i too learnt how to speak until one day, I read through the bible again only to discover that the whole thing they are doing is scam, there is nothing that will benefit you in that exercise. I will advice you, go back to your bible and read from the horse mouth itself and leave these people before they corrupt you. 2 Likes |
