My Testimony: How I Received the Gift of Tongues

[@kay-pu7hr]

I just prayed that prayer with you because the gift of tongues gives power. In these last days, we need more power to serve God, to witness. I know i don't want to go to heaven alone. I want to bring someone with me. At any time He may call me home. I want to please Him with however many days I have left on this earth. Especially now, because our society is confused in so many ways. They need the gospel more than ever before. None of us know what exacty is ahead, but we need His power to be his witness. I know I need it. I am 80 years old. Thank you for your message.

Thank you for watching and for sharing. The same power that rose Christ from the grave lives in you!

And he that searched the hearts know what is the mind of the Spirit, because he make intercession for the saints according to the will of God…Jude 1:20-But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit….Ephesians 6:18-20- Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit….🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Before i first spoke in tongues i had been praying for the Lords presence( Holy Spirit) to be in me in an apostolic prayer room. Two altar workers were praying quietly for me and laying hands on me but i don't even remember hearing them speak in tongues. They just told me to ask the Lord for what i wanted. So i fervently began to. After a few minutes i heard footsteps and then the pastors voice telling me to stand up and recieve the Holy Spirit. I stood up and lifted my arms while still keeping my eyes closed expecting to recieve. Immediately i saw this window appear to my upper right. It had what looked like those old fashioned shutters on the outside ends of the window and they were wide open. I looked in the window and saw this beautiful blue sky. Then a bright light appeared at the far left corner inside of the window and started to move across my field of vision. When it reached the center point it stopped and shined on me. Then i felt a warm rising up ny legs starting at my ankles. It continued rising up my body as it approached my head. I felt like my body was being filled with a warm oil. I was rejoicing and thanking the Lord for answering my prayer when i heard the pastors voice in front of me telling me to surrender my tongue to the Holy Spirit. So i stopped thanking the Lord, opened my mouth and starred relaxing my tongue as a way of surrendering it. Suddenly i felt control of my tongue seized and i began to fluently speak in tongues. The effect was staggering. I felt " beside" myself i was so full of joy. Now i knew why the church people were shouting in the service, dancing and running the aisles. I led the way out of the prayer room and stopped and faced the seated congregation. Suddenly i felt such love for these people and really didn't know any of them this being my first visit to the church. I felt like i had a small sun in my head and i could feel its rays shooting out from around my head and face.

Am a believer from last 8 years but I don't have gift of tongues. Whenever I saw people speaking in tongues in there prayers.I always thought God why I don't have this supernatural gift ?? And I start praying for it continously. One day, am cleaning my room and I just say to god tell me what should I do for you? Holy spirit spoke to me🙂 He ask me to forgive my two friends with whom I have a fight from a year. I don't spoke to them atleast for a year. And said no god I can't do this. This is impossible. But holyspirit say this to me again and again. After an hour I said okay lord but I don't know how I can do this. And god himself make a way so that I can apologize to them. After this will happen I feel so frustrated because I don't feel good. But when I came into my prayer I received the gift of tongues 😃. This is the power of forgiveness or I would say obeying holyspirit 😄🔥

So I starting praying every day the same prayer to receive tongues for 30 days straight before I received it.

Ah thanks for answering so swiftly - people connect the baptism of the Spirit with it - especially Pentecostals - they would teach you can’t be empowered without that ‘release’ - I used to think that - but acts 1v8 tells us otherwise I think - how we KNOW we have ‘more’ is something that is personal - I’ve been zapped with power with tongues and without on about 3 occasions - they are ALL baptisms of the Spirit I suppose - you just know something has happened - seek the Holy Spirit first and foremost - then see what happens - if it rises up speak it out - if not don’t be tempted to make it up - it’s a subject many are unsure of especially in light of certain passages in acts - especially Acts 19 x thanks Jimmy Uk - keep up the good work 👍

@@169provebs Your video is nothing more than clickbait. The last people who spoke in tongues were the Apostles. You could stand up there all day long doing this so called speaking in tongues and never get it right. Read your Bible will you? Not one person on this earth today could interpret what you were saying. Not one. Paul said if there is no interpreter, do not do it. We both know you are wrong. What if the Bible translated it from tongues to language, would you still be making this type of video? I doubt it. If I posted Italian to you, or German, which I speak, would you call that speaking in tongues? I have been to a ton of Pentecostal churches, and First Assemblies, and they have never had an interpreter during the service. 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. 1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1 Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? Look at the following verse, 1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. Notice it says that speaking of tongues shall cease? 1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. 1 Corinthians 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? The only reason I responded to this video is it went to my homepage and if Babes in Christ see it they will see it should not be used. Have you ever seen an English-speaking evangelist preaching in a Spanish country? Notice he has a "translator" with him repeating his words from English to Spanish? Or an English-speaking preacher preaching in Germany, how he has another man with him on the stage speaking in German as the preacher speaks in English? Is that speaking in tongues or language? I'm not here to trash you, just pointing out you made a false video.

Why am I doing this? because I have been praying for my son (not with tongues) who was laid off from his job after the COVID, but till today (Jan 13) my prayers were not answered.

Personally, I let the Holy Spirit take control when I can't really think of words to use. I was also taught that according to 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. And especially 1 Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. That your prayers go directly to God. As in, no interference from demons blocking your prayers. It also seems to fight off demons. On a physical level though, it's been reported that there are health benefits for people that pray in tongues for a long time. The most extreme example I've seen is a testimony from Reg Morais, who the Lord cured of autism and other mental conditions.

You are blessed. Speaking in tongues is a supernatural direct communication with God - 1 Cor.14:2

[@tomtemple69]

2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. 4 One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. 5 Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying. 6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching? 7 Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp? 8 For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? 9 So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning. 11 If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me. 12 So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.

I'd highly recommend reading "Living Water" by Chuck Smith. It really answered EVERY question I had as I struggled to believe wether rhe gift of tongues was even real.

I ordered Living Water today.Will be anxious to read. You talked about your frustration about your ankle not healing for so long Gods healing for your ankle came. Once you experienced speaking in tongues the next day, So... what would be the difference in that compared to speaking in tongues for God to bring the RIGHT man into your life? Totally just curious how God would work in different situations.

[@robertpearson-yg4xt]

It’s unfortunate that there is so much confusion with this topic. So many different beliefs, and doctrines. For those of you who are seeking God and witnessing such confusion, i’m sure you are wondering why are there so many different beliefs. So, let me explain. Many people have searched scriptures, studied scripture, and preached scriptures without the guidance and grace of God. And because of their lack of love, obedience and humility, God resist them as he only gives grace to the humble. This automatically forces them to lean onto their own understanding and come up with all of these different beliefs and doctrines. God is not the author of confusion and he will teach us the very same things when we genuinely seek him, love as he has commanded and approach him with complete humility. when you do, God will show you clearly that tongues is in fact a gift of the Holy Spirit that God will give you as he will, and when he will. Speaking in tongues is not an entitlement and all Christians do not speak in tongues. This is why in 1Corinthians chapter 14 verse five Paul says, “I wish ( Greek word for would) you all speak with tongues.” If I had all my children standing around me, and I told them that I wish they were all my children, they would think I was crazy and state that “we are all your children” But if I had a group of children around me with some being my children and some of them not. Then I could rightfully say “I wish you were all my children” that would make sense. That’s the very situation in this case. Paul is addressing the body of Christ telling them that he wish they all spoke with tongues because he understood that they all didn’t. But if they all did speak in tongues as so many people claim today then they would wonder why is Paul saying this if they were all Pentecostal pushers as we have today. This is why so many people are being prayed for and not receiving the gift tongues because God is not honoring their misunderstanding. Regardless of how many excuses they come up with or if they teary all night. So she did right by not going up there for prayer because it’s not an entitlement gift as they seem to push. This confuses so many believers and causes them to pretend many times. Whenever you receive the gift of tongues, you should know it’s from God as it is very supernatural and is only granted according to his will and no one else’s. Pray for it and desire it, but desire gifts that will benefit the body and not just yourself. And most importantly, make sure your love is in check and your humility And that you live holy for God. I say this to all the proud, humble yourselves before the Lord and come to him empty-handed. Restudy in complete humility, holiness and love and he will open up the eyes of your understanding! There is so much I would love to say concerning this, but I will end on that. Glory be to God!

I couldn't agree more with this comment! I spoke in tongues for the first time today and i cannot possibly explain how the words were flowing out of my mouth, how my body was reacting to them and the almost out of body feeling i felt at times. It all came from the deepest desire to draw closer to God and i always thought speaking in tongues was a joke and fake. I looked up a very good teaching, gathered all the scriptures, looked them up for myself in the bible and was extremely compelled that this was something for all to seek. I then prayed in faith that God would give give me this gift.. i felt awkward but started to pronounce syllables and the rest is history... please be encouraged and trust God, let go of unforgiveness, cling to the one who Loves you. Here are the locations of the scriptures that talk about speaking in tongues: some refer to speaking diffrent languages and tongues for interpretation but i understand theres a diffrence between the 2. The video from John bevere on this helped me unpack the topic 1. Mark 16:17 2. Acts 2:1-4 3. Acts 10:44-46 4. Acts 19:6 5. 1 Corinthians 12:10 6. 1 Corinthians 12:28-30 7. 1 Corinthians 13:1 8. 1 Corinthians 14:2 9. 1 Corinthians 14:4-5 10. 1 Corinthians 14:18-19 11. 1 Corinthians 14:22 12. 1 Corinthians 14:27-28

When we genuinely have that desire, God is ready and willing to draw near to us also!

[@scottsponaas]

What an amazing testimony! I love how personable you are in your videos. There is a genuineness that just radiates off of you. I was not raised in the church, and actually used to make fun of Christians, but that all changed three years ago. God had to really humble me and take everything from me to get me to see the error of my ways and I’m so glad he did. I received the gift of tongues about 6 months after coming to faith. After about 3 months of believing I started seeing videos of people doing it and I wanted to know if it was real and still active. Well I tried to do it for a few months, but I would always stumble over my own efforts and couldn’t think up syllables fast enough. I would make it like 3-4 seconds and then stop because I knew it was my own effort and not the Holy Spirit. Then one night, I watched a teaching online telling me that you have to just step out in faith and let the Holy Spirit give you the utterance. Within a few minutes, I was speaking in tongues. I went for about 5 minutes and was just amazed because I knew that while the sounds were coming from my mouth, I wasn’t thinking them or choosing them. So amazing!

[@169provebs]

Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos! I appreciate you sharing your story, it truly is a language that you can speak on your own. I think that's what makes it so powerful, because you know that it isn't coming from you. I pray God continues to grow your faith as you seek Him🙏

Gifts of the Holy Spirit are often abused by people and I think that false prophets are all around, so many are afraid to even pray for the gift out of fear. We should pray for an understanding to use whatever gifts Gods given as a way to bring glory to Him and not to ourselves. Thanks for watching and sharing.

I speak in tongues, I have cast out demons, I lay hands on the sick and they have recovered. This is the commandment Jesus gave all of his follows. Mark 16:17-20. The same Holy Spirit gives all the gifts. Can anyone who has the Holy Spirit speak prophecy? Yes. But that doesn’t make them a prophet. There is a mantle (or assignment) of a prophet that is different and for the whole church. Then their is personal prophecy that can be given. I have received many dreams and visions from God that were just for my family that were prophetic but I am not a prophet. I did have 2 dreams that would be prophetic toward the whole church but that still doesn’t make me a prophet. All the gifts are for today. Go look up David Diga Hernandez and Kathryn Kirk.

Corinthians teaches how Gifts of Holy Spirt are like many body parts, made up of one body, from the same Holy Spirit. Not one part (gift) can say to another I don't need you as all work together. Question: Why do some teach the Gift of Tounges comes first place before one can manifest in the other Spiritual Gifts? If all gifts are equal, yet Paul says I would rather you Prophecy, why not ask for Gift of Prophecy or Healing instead? Nothing wrong with Gift of tounges for (self edification) however there seems to be this preoccupation in the church to make everyone receive the Gift of Tounges as a first instance? Can we not in the same Faith receive the Gift of Prophecy instead, considering how the Holy *Spirit gives to each one (gifts) as He Determines*. *1 Cor 12:* 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just *as he determines.* 31 *Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.* *1 Cor 14* *Intelligibility in Worship* 14 Follow the way of love and *eagerly desire gifts* of the Spirit, *especially prophecy.* 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, *but I would rather have you prophesy.* The *one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets,* so that the church may be *edified.* 12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to *excel in those that build up the church.*

Glad you love Jesus but beware of the teaching of gibberish as tongues. Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift mentioned in the New Testament, particularly in the book of Acts and the writings of the Apostle Paul. The gift of tongues is often referred to as a form of ecstatic utterance or a supernatural language given by the Holy Spirit to a believer. In the Bible, the first instance of speaking in tongues occurs on the day of Pentecost, as described in Acts 2:1-13. On that day, the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and they began to speak in languages they had not previously known. This allowed them to communicate the Gospel to people from various nations who were present in Jerusalem. Acts 2:4 (ESV) says, "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." The Apostle Paul also addresses the gift of tongues in his letters. In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul provides instructions for the use of tongues within the context of the Christian assembly. He emphasizes the importance of interpretation so that the entire body can be edified. Paul also states that tongues can be a sign for unbelievers (1 Corinthians 14:22). 1 Corinthians 14:13-14 (ESV) says, "Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful." It is important to note that the biblical concept of speaking in tongues involves the utterance of real languages that the speaker has not learned. This is distinct from some modern practices where individuals may engage in unintelligible sounds or "gibberish" and claim it as speaking in tongues. Such practices can be misleading and may not align with the biblical understanding of the gift. If you have concerns about how speaking in tongues is being practiced in your church, it may be beneficial to engage in open and respectful dialogue with your church leaders and fellow believers. Sharing your understanding of the biblical principles can lead to a more accurate and edifying use of this spiritual gift in your community of faith.

Hi Ashley I am Bob the one that sent you the LONG comment about physical illnesses my wife and I deal with now. 2 points First Question Do you attend an Assembly of God or Penticostal church where speaking in tongues is very much spoken about in scripture Unfortunately I attend a Baptist Church (very conservative) where it is NOT for today and I forget the passage they use. I believe 1 Corinthians 14:10I will look it up. If it it is done and imterprited I totally accept and attended a church ( The Chicago Tabernacle ) Of course in Chicago where it models the Brooklyn Tab in New York City They have just an awesome choir . Dont know if you are in to choral/ Gospel clap hands with music. TBH now I am not sure you are the one that wasd talking about Tounges If not very very sorry 2) Since I have a brain injury I talk lot which means also type a lot Sorry Point #2 When my wife and I got married of course our wedding vows were "In Sickness and In Health" You just dont really think about lt just say it. I was a very analytical man just like you as a woman to make sure this was Gods women as my wife We had a great marriage for 15 yrs traveled where involved together musically. Our personalities and our temperments were an awesome match in about every way. Then all these HEALTH ISSUES near fatal and then the words in those vows really come to life when you have 2 people with disabilities . Because ours are both neurological it has had a negative impact on our marriage Thankfully our marriage was strong enough to these challenges we STILL deal with 10 yrs later. My wife has tried every treatment possible and I still have some neurological issues. Romans 8:28 is what we live on All that to say you can have the "perfect for you husband" for you but you never know what challenges God allows to really challenge your commitment and faith. I hope what I share with you is helpful in some way Even this post is 2 years old I hope you will see it as a new comment.

How do you know your gift is authentic and you are not making words up, or that your brain is improvising meaningless words? I can do the same gibberish, it is not a phonetic tongue.

[@169provebs]

Hey, great question, I think this was my biggest doubt going into prayer for this gift. I would encourage you to read the book "Living Water " by Chuck Smith. To answer your question, my imagination isn't that good, I wish that it was, but the words that come out of my mouth are not fabricated in my mind, they're not thought about how to say like Normal speaking, they're also extremely powerful and they flow together in perfect harmony and unity. Unfortunately, of myself I'm not capable to beautifully create a new language. It's not from me, it's a gift from God of a new tongue.

[@foggy71]

@@169provebs You don't need to be a creative person to do that. Creativity is a selection process that requires intuition, but languages are "muscle memory" for the brain, improvisation is not that difficult, anyone can do this. I can do this too, in fact I used to do that, sounds great of course. But the problem is, the Bible describes tongues as human languages that can be translated. All these manifestations I have heard are not human languages, I literally never heard one phonetic language in any of the churches I have entered. I have heard many sermons about this, mostly Derek Prince, and I get the whole "have faith that you receive a good gift when you ask", but the truth of the matter is: it's not a language. "Tongue" is an English archaism for "language". So I don't know, I am 99% sure this whole modern speaking in tongues is a self-suggested improvisation driven by the desire to be spiritual and to somehow have a supernatural interaction, but these manifestations are never verified with an interpreter, as the Bible says to do. So I cannot conclude this is authentic, according to the standards of the Bible, it does not matter how I feel about it. Also, interpreting is not "listening to whatever thoughts come into your mind when you hear this 'tongue'", it's translating a human language. Such languages are named exactly at Pentecost according to the region of the listeners, it was not a random unintelligible babbling...
