Debunking the Mystery of Speaking in Tongues

I did once when I was praying for my sick baby son...I was in such pain and prayed so hard that I started to speak and pray in tongues. My spirit took over, and I prayed what I had no words for. My son survived a near death experience by the grace of God.

Yesterday at 7:10pm may 31st ,2024 I was baptized in the spirit filled with the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues!!!! After I prayed the prayer with you pastor John and spoke in faith the Holy Ghost has his way with me as I continued to yield to him!!! Thank you again so much for all your teachings on this topic! I almost lost faith that I would be able to speak in tongues but you said yield to the Holy Ghost and don’t try to speak in English and in your heavenly language at the same time so I chose to speak in faith what I saw in the spirit and the tongues began to flow like a downstream river or waterfall !!! The Holy Spirit is REAL !!!!! I’m so full of joy. He loves us so much !!!! Glory to GOD

I received the gift of tongues 12 years ago. I was in addiction and one night crying out to God. Broken!! My spirit started praying for me. It was so powerful! My grandmother prays in tongues as well as many of my other family members! A few weeks ago I had a tongue interpreter pray over me. His words from God were so powerful. He told me that when I was crying out to God that my words were heard the night before. I spent about thirty minutes crying out in tongues and this man had no clue what I was doing the night before but God let me know through him that he heard me he was with me and I’m not alone. ABBA in the name of Jesus I adore you. Thank you for supernatural healing thank you for being the lover of my soul. You are mighty. I don’t know how many people are reading this. Tongues are real. Our father is with us he left his Holy Spirit with us. He will protect his children and he fights for us!!!!

I wasn’t raised in a church home. I didn’t believe that people were swept by the spirit or spoke in tongues. I felt it was fake. This was during the Jesus movement in 1978. I began going to church and a prayer group. I was learning and felt ready to accept the Lord, but believed ALL the sweeping of the spirit on TV etc was fake. Large groups of people falling and speaking in tongues. The night I accepted Christ and was baptized in the Holy Spirit I remember the preacher reaching out to anoint my head in oil. I don’t remember him touching me. I don’t remember falling. The next thing I knew I was looking up at the painted church ceiling and speaking in tongues. I loudly (in my mind) heard God say “Some of it is fake, but never doubt my power!” I never have since. It is very real.

Thank you for this teaching. I remember waking up at night praying in tongues feeling a heavy weight on me and I knew I was interceding for someone. I wrote it in my journal. A week later a Pastor I knew closely who was like a father to me told the congregation he wanted to end his life by jumping off a building. He said the day and time he was going to take his life and I began to weep. God revealed to me I was praying for him that very same date and time. I went home and my journal confirmed the same date and time. Praying in tongues is so powerful and effective. 🙏

Myself and a friend had a 2 Chapter of Acts experience. We were sharing the Lord with a Muslim college student and he wanted to hear what tongues sounded like. When my friend started speaking in his tongue the Muslim man dropped to his knees crying out saying, you just spoke in the Aramaic language, your heaven, your heaven is calling me! He responded to the call by giving his life to Christ right then and there in the middle of the parking lot. PTL! This was a great teaching on tongues! Singing in the Spirit is also another manifestation that is so wonderful!

We have a wonderful story in our family. My great grandmother was a baptist. She was praying alone in her room when she started speaking in tongues. She was completely confused so she went to her pastor to ask him what it was. Instead of telling her not to pray in tongues (they didn’t believe in speaking in tongues): he encouraged her to go to a Pentecost church. And told her she will be more comfortable in that church. Because of her choice to move churches, almost every member of our family speaks in tongues! I thank God I come from such a wonderful Christian family.

I didn't want to pray in tongues, I thought that was beneath me. But God! I was on my knees in an apostolic church and my tongue came out of no where. No one heard me until I asked for prayer over a family concern and 3 pastors surrounded me. My tongues came out of no where, I threw my hand over my mouth in embarrassment. One of the pastors said God said my son will be saved. One month later he accepted Christ. It was all done by God. If God doesn't do it, it may not happen for a genuine Christian, but God still loves them; and loves them no less than a tongue talking Christian! The Holy Spirit is in us all! God's love, mercy and grace is bigger!

Many times our prayers focus only on things concerning this world, our own needs, fears, desires. But when we pray in the Spirit, the troubles of this world seem to melt away, our minds and hearts disconnecting, allowing our spirit to enter true communion with God.

I saw a man crying so hard. I asked him if I could pray for him. He started speaking to me in another language. I couldn't understand. I realized that he didn't speak my language so I said, you pray in your language and I will pray in mine. While I was praying on tongues with my eyes closed, I realized the man stopped crying and was silent. I kept praying in tongues. When I opened my eyes and looked at him, he excitedly, with big eyes, started talking in his language to me. I kept telling him that I didn't know what he was saying. Finally, he realized that I didn't know and said, "How can you not know. You spoke perfect Spanish". His English was so broken. But, he gave his life to Christ. I saw him a year later when he spoke better English. He told me how what I shared about Christ in tongues changed his life. He then shared how he got full of the Holy Spirit and also speaks in tongues. We laughed together with joy. My friends used to go up to the exchange students in college and speak in tongues. They always came back with stories about speaking in other languages, sharing the gospel in French one day or Italian and German the next. The exchange students always cried and repented, falling to their knees and repenting of their sins. I think there are so many people in the church that dismiss tongues that it is a gift that is kept hidden in the body of Christ because of the persecution of the religious.

The fight against tongues is a spiritual stronghold that the religious embrace. They are blind. Lord open the eyes of the blind, and give them wisdom from You! Amen!

I got saved in 1982 I got prayed for to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and it just didn’t happen. 3 days later kneeling by my bed I cried out to God and asked to be filled and then boom it felt like somebody poured refreshing water over my head and I began to speak in a new tongue. I’ve never stopped praying in tongues since. Sorry if you’re a cessationist you’re truly missing out 🫶🏾

I was not walking the Lord for 37 years, and during that time I kept periodically speak a few words I tounges, I fully believe it's what bought me back to him 2 years ago.. I asked him for interpretation and he showed me!! I kept saying please Lord do not forsake me! Now I have a whole new language, just amazing gift 🎉❤

Singing in the Spirit helps my mind not to wander, sometimes it just flows in unknown sounds other times it will be a Traditional Christian song, very peaceful and spiritual restoring

Speaking in tongues is our prayer language. God knows what we're saying when we pray in tongues. Holy Spirit fill everyone with your presence with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I remember when I experienced Him.... beautiful overwhelming life changing!❤🙏

I spoke in tongues for the first time today and it was an out of mind experience. then I went to have my shower and I had series of revelations which included forgiving and going back to make peace with people I have fought or dews I have owed whether I was at fault or not. I also discovered how I personally relate with God and this was before watching this video to seal everything in me. This is definitely a wonderful day

My pastor said that his dad needed a job during depression time. He fasted and prayed. He heard the Father say to apply at tailroad job. He got a job reading blueprints. He didnt know how to read them. He would praybinbtongues asking the Father tobgive him understanding of the blue prints. He immediately had understanding. I shared this with my young sons. When our dryer or cars broke, I encouraged them to work on them by praging in tongues and asking for understanding. They fixed everything. The holy spirit is our helper and teacher.

This message was a real blessing. When I pray with my 94 year old Dad, I get a strong desire to pray in the spirit. It’s awkward, but after hearing this, I’m excited to see where the Lord will lead.

Thank you for this teaching. I am an 80 year old woman of God. At 28 the Lord gave me this beautiful gift. I have used this gift for worship and for battle. Praying for family members things I didn’t know. When I’m in church and worship is filled with the Lord I can’t stop it. Fortunately it’s loud worship so no one hears me. Very few of my friends have this gift and those who have it don’t use it. I say use it you will be blessed

This is a good teaching. I decided to get baptized again about 5 years ago. About 4 years ago I was praying for the gift of tongues and had been doing so fer several month. I told an elder in the church I was going to at the time about this desire. One day a few weeks later, he stood up to give testimony about something and part way through this testimony, he turned and pointed across the church to me and said, "And Michael, you are going to start saying hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah and you will start praying in tongues. Several days later on a Saturday, I thought about this and I asked God to fulfill this prophecy. I started saying hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah and stumbled over my tongue a couple of times. I stopped and thought, "Was this it? Did I pray in tongues or did I just stutter?" The following Wednesday morning, I tired it again. This time I broke out praying in tongues at 1:05 AM and I prayed in tongues for almost 3 hours without ceasing. Sometimes I was overcome with great feeling of joy. Other times it was sadness and still other times it was anger. One thing I noticed was how different the language was when I was feeling so angry that I was shaking my fists violently. I learned later that this is referred to as warfare tongues. Having studied several languages, I could tell where one sentence began and ended. I could tell the different words in the sentence. I do not know what they mean, but I can recognize a language when I hear one. It does take faith to know that God will give you tongues. The testimony from the elder, naturally, reinforced my faith which I believe is why I was able to speak in tongues so soon after he told me that when I had been praying for it for about 4 months up until then. Believe in the scripture and you will see the truth in God's word. Don't let the devil steal from you this intimate time with our Father in Heaven. He is our Poppa. Spend time with Him.
