Tongues

The infilling of the Holy Spirit has long been a point of contention amongst the Christian denominations.


Despite there being proof in the written word, spread out through new and Old Testament, some denominations don’t acknowledge it or acknowledge it but won’t practice it. The power that comes with speaking in tongues is an amazing experience and gift from the Lord. He left us His spirit so we can be led/helped and connected to Him.



Acts 2:11-13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
11 Cretans and Arabians too—we all hear them speaking in our own native tongues [and telling of] the mighty works of God!
12 And all were beside themselves with amazement and were puzzled and bewildered, saying one to another, What can this mean?
13 But others made a joke of it and derisively said, They are simply drunk and full of sweet [intoxicating] wine.

The speaking in tongues can transform your prayer language into a language unknown by you but understood by others.


Ephesians 6:18

New King James Version (NKJV)
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—



Praying in the Spirit means to pray in tongues, the evidence of having the Holy Spirit in you is with the evidence of speaking in tongues-speaking in the Spirit. A heavenly language designed for your spirit to speak to God. This is important, to have your spirit freely and clearly pray for what you can’t articulate.



Don’t push Him away by choosing not to believe in the gift the God has given to you.
