The importance of praying in other tongues.
By: Poppy Date: May 2, 2015, 4:05 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I've been reading something recently that suggests that after we
are baptised in the Holy Spirit it is praying in tongues in our
personal prayer time that enables us to receive and put into
practice the nine spiritual gifts and discover which gifting has
been given to us and where we 'fit' in the Body. Also that the
amount of time we spend praying in tongues has a direct bearing
to the effectiveness of these gifts and the way we use them for
the building up of the Body of Christ.

[center]Ask not God the reason why
Nor if, what, how, or when
Simply pray “Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heav’n”.[/center]

I don't think speaking in tongues more would solve much. Not
everyone is given the gift of tongues, so it couldn't be the
answer for them, could it? When Christianity has problems, it
seems to me the failure is result of not having enough charity.

Don't be negative about it until you've read what he has to say.
According to this guy every Christian who is baptised in the
Holy spirit will receive the gift of speaking in other tongues
but many will choose not to use that gift either for fear of
feeling foolish or because they are told it is not important.
This is playing right into Satan's hands as when people choose
not to use this gift then the other gifts will be ineffective.
You can get the Kindle edition of the book free from Amazon or
download it free from the authors website. If you have an open
mind it would do no harm to take a look at it.

I downloaded and may look at it later; but I've already formed a
negative opinion if he teaches that everyone is given the gift
of tongues. The way I read Paul, not everyone is.
1 Corinthians 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all
teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do
all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a
more excellent way.
So why does he say that? Paul also says that speaking with the
tongues of men and of angels can be worthless.
1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or
a tinkling cymbal.
For him to say if I don't speak in tongues, I am playing into
Satan's hand seems judgmental to me. I find that attitude
divisive too. I find him lacking in charity.

I'm reading How To Effectively Pray in Tongues and these are
some statements he makes that stood out for me.
"For example, sometimes the Holy Spirit gets quite forceful in
my spirit as I pray in tongues, and I feel like I’m fighting
something."....
Suddenly a warm sensation came over me, beginning in my uplifted
hands. The sensation flowed down through my arms and shoulders
into my chest and seemed to reach up into my mind. As this
sensation flowed into my legs, I fell over backwards. My breath
was knocked out of me, but I hardly noticed. ....
Then all of a sudden in the early hours of the morning, the
Presence of God entered that tent. To this day, I can’t tell you
if it was an angel or the Holy Ghost. I fell over backwards onto
a cot and began laughing hilariously in the Holy Ghost. I became
so drunk in the Spirit that I couldn’t rise off the cot. In the
midst of all this, Fort was saved and filled with the Holy
Ghost. All three of us laughed and giggled in the Holy Ghost and
prayed in tongues and rejoiced until dawn....
Remember, your key to unlock divine mysteries is praying in
tongues, ....
What am I saying as I pray? Most of the time I don’t know
because my understanding is unfruitful. ...

Or something else?
"You pays your money and you takes your choice"
There's no record of a Deist speaking in tongues, and I sure
won't be the first.

The second video majors upon "How satan stops Christians from
receiving the prayer language".
However there is the very valid suggestion that there might be a
genuine 'Christian' case of 'Praying in Tongues', and a parallel
satanic counterfeit.
In which case it would serve satan better to install the
counterfeit in gullible 'sign seeking' Christians, and then rely
on those of his thus deluded disciples to defend it as per the
second video.
When I was a young Evangelical Fundamentalist I was doing my
National Service and billeted with three Pentecostalists who
persuaded me to let them lay hands upon me with a view to me
receiving the 'Baptism in the Holy Spirit'.
They did their 'bit' as per the first video with incredible
tongue speaking fevor and, at the end, proclaimed that I emerged
unscathed because of my unwillingness to completely empty my
mind and let 'the power' (from whatever its source) take
'control'.
Many, many, recipients of a 'tongues' capability did so at
meetings where the need to empty one's mind was emphasised as a
prerequisite to receiving the 'Baptism in the Holy Spirit',
If however there is indeed a counterfeit version (as per the
first video) then whatever the source must welcome 'empty minds'
as 'his' greatest opportunity imaginable.
I think someone once counselled Christians to "test the spirits
whether they be of God"....... but you won't do that with an
'emptied mind'. ::) ???

[font=courier]Unable to speak for everyone else, but for me, my
communication with God via "tongues" is a solution to an old
problem. That is to say for me it is important, because God gave
the gift to me. What gifts God has given us we certainly need to
use according as He would have us to use them. For those who
have not received this gift, I would not be so forward as to
push them toward receiving it. Rather with Paul consider this:
"Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all
workers of miracles?
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all
interpret?
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a
more excellent way." I Cor 12:29-31
What are the best gifts for the individual or for the Church?
Even if we cannot answer that question definitely, surely we can
still seek those "best gifts", leaving the specifics to God,
or..?
This surely is important?[/font]
