Is Speaking In Tongues Real? Is praying in tongues for today?

These are great questions and ones that you might share with many others. Speaking in tongues has been a matter of debate and sometimes argument among scholars and different denominations for many years. However, the Scriptures are not double minded about the subject. Tongues are a gift of the Holy Spirit available for any follower of Jesus Christ who will believe Him for it.

Peter the apostle said,

“For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is to and for you and your children, and to and for all that are far away, [even] to and for as many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.”  (Acts 2:39)

Tongues, speaking in tongues, praying in the Spirit, Glossolalia – this gift of God is described in many ways, but two things are certain – It is Biblical, and it is for today!

In truth, I don’t think any gift has impacted my life so much as the wonderful gift of speaking in tongues. It has led me to experience and explore more of the spirit realm and the possibilities of intimacy with God than any other blessing.

Tongues – Something Powerful and Supernatural - A Short Testimony

I have benefitted so much from the exercise of tongues in my life as a believer, a pastor (of four congregations in different areas of the UK over the past 12 years), and in every other area of my life.

Paul the Apostle said that when we speak in tongues we “edify” ourselves (1 Corinthians 14:4). And this ability to ‘build ourselves up’ spiritually is just one of the many benefits of exercising this supernatural gift, given by the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

Before I became a Christian I always believed that Christianity was dead religion, and that other spiritual paths were more switched on to the reality of the spiritual world around us. How wrong I was!

The night I accepted Jesus Christ I encountered the presence of God in such a dramatic way it radically changed my life. I knew nothing of this thing called ‘tongues’, but without any prompting or prior knowledge began to speak fluently in a language with utterances I had never learned nor understood with my natural mind.

It was only afterwards as I sought out what the Bible said about such encounters that I discovered many Scriptures that referred to tongues. What amazed me most was that the Bible had so much to say about the reality of the supernatural, and how the gift of tongues can bring us into contact with that reality.

“Speaking God’s Language” is a very easy read. I believe that the best way to learn to pray is to pray, not read hefty books about praying, so the book is very simple, very practical, and very helpful.”

Pastor and Teacher David Martin

The Scriptures tell us that God’s love and favour cast out all fear.

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18

Today’s post is an encouragement to cast off compromise and stand fearless in God’s favour. It is our small compromises that leave us open to doubt and anxiety in our spirit, because compromise is the result of a fear and doubt that God will actually come through for us. God can’t work with fear and doubt. Spiritually they are not a good substance to build anything with.

Take Ishmael as an example. Abraham and Sarah decided that God needed some help to produce the promised child so took upon themselves to provide a solution to the problem, and provide a half-baked answer to the full-fledged promise that God had given them. The result was the Middle East conflict, Afghanistan and the Iraq war, among other things.

May God in His grace help us each day to make decisions based on the promises He has given, trusting Him to bring them to pass in His own way and His own time. This does mean that we do nothing, it simply means that we do as we are directed by the Holy Spirit, and stay away from a compromised position where our reason has to justify our actions to make them sound acceptable to our conscience. Friend, God is not reasonable in the way we understand reason. He is far beyond what we consider acceptable, and His behaviour is beautifully untamed.

He has all the power and holy intention to bring to pass all that He desires in your life and the live’s of your loved ones. Instead of offering him a Hagar kind of solution, how about taking time to pray in the Spirit and offer the substance of faith – something He can work with.

“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 1:20-21

Step through the cross today and leave compromise behind – stand fearless in the presence of His favour and receive.

Perishing for Lack of Knowledge

Have you struggled with sins and addictions as far back as you can remember? Does it seem like an invisible curse follows members of your family? Do you wonder why bad things happen to good people? These questions and more are tackled in this engaging and easy-to-follow spiritual guide.

That Christians are in a fierce battle cannot be overemphasized, and it is with an enemy we cannot see with our physical eyes.

Many Christians live a life of defeat, harassed and bombarded by their arch enemy, Satan. They have not yet fully grasped that when Jesus Christ died on the cross, he completely and utterly defeated Satan! He took back the authority Satan used to deceive Adam and Eve, handing it to the Church. However, our strength is of no use if we don’t know we possess it! This is the tragedy of our Lack of Knowledge.

God is communicating the wonderful message that we are conquerors through Jesus Christ, and that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. God wants His children to live in freedom from the illegal bondage to Satan.

You must Stand Your Ground.Jesus has passed the victory banner on to us like a relay runner passing on the baton to the one who will finish the race. Those who perish are those who lack knowledge.
