I spoke in tongues once and didn't know what I was saying and didn't know if it was doing it correctly as, it was my first time! I felt I sounded crazy but I was so desperate for my prayers to be answered I tried it. My husband was in ICU at the time and after speaking in tongues God began to heal him and eventually he was moved from the ICU unit to a regular floor. Eventually, he was healed completely and is now home thriving and doing well! Thank you Jesus!

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. 🙏

I received the feeling of the Holy Spirit when I didn’t even have any knowledge of what that was or meant. As I was raised Lutheran. I was so desperate for him. I was crying out to him one evening on my knees when all of a sudden, my hands flew up in the air, and I began to speak another tongue. I felt the filling of the Holy Spirit. My life has not been the same since.

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!

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!

Years ago I was baptised in the Maple Chapel Church in Glendale Ca. we had a baptismal tank and after coming out of the water I had a couple of our Church men pray with me as I told them I want the gift of talking to the Lord in a new Hevin language. and I asked the Holy Spirit give me the gift of talking to the Lord as they laid hands on me I felt in my belly like living water then my tongue started moving and I had control I could stop if I wanted but the love of the Lord moved over me, I am now 87 and the Lord loves me

[debrawatkins]

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.

John you’ve been such a blessing to me since I stumbled upon your book ‘Relentless’. Thanks for your defense for the truth about tongues today.

I just prayed in tongues for the first time and it was incredible. It literally felt like i was speaking 2-3 languages at the same time when i was finished tears down my face and sweating from the heat of the Lord. OMG the spirit of the lord just englufed me, I 😅may become addicted to praying guys.

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.

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.

Amazing! I have never meet someone who can give a such revelation on tongues. Thank you for this explanation of this 3 differants sorts of tongues. Now I understand the reason of why every beleiver must seek to pray in tongues. Who does'nt want to have more intimancy with God? I'am really greatful for this revelation.

[aweeks]

This cleared up so many things for me! I have been speaking in tongues for over 40 years. Unfortunately, I have been married to a spouse who not only doesn't believe in tongues, they are violently opposed to it. Lately, I have listened to some teaching on the internet that made me start doubting. This is wonderful teaching that has brought me back to the Bible using clear cut explanations from scripture.

[francisprasad]

I take this as a wonderful explanation about 'tongues' . It's not you explaining but the Spirit of God explaining through you. Thank you so much. God bless. Amen

[CKT_in_JC]

I was baptized with the Holy Spirit a year and a half ago. i would pray in it here & there. Then went through multiple seasons of backsliding to the point where I stopped doing it entirely, didn’t even think of it… In the past few months I’ve been making it right with God and thinking about tongues a lot. I feel this hesitation to pray in them sometimes because there’s this nagging skepticism that it’s not of God. I just feel so confused about what it is and why we do it… But your teaching and your testimony, and the one about the sorority girl is deeply encouraging and clarifying. Thank you for sharing 🙏.

[upschutt]

Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough to become visible to me. God is working behind the scenes and I desire to see it in the flesh

I've never had the gift of tongues but I can definitely relate to hearing the Lord in the quietness.
After hurricane Ida, New Orleans lost power for 8 days and in that quiet time, when there were no vehicles driving around, no AC units running, no power lines buzzing, no engines of any sort whirring, no streetcars rumbling, it was _dead silent_ . Since there was no cellphone service or electricity to be had, all the distractions in my life were suddenly erased. I heard the voice of my Lord several times during that time period, very clearly. So, SO many undeniable 'God things' happened in those 8 days that it forever cemented my unconditional faith in Him.
I don't wish the terror of experiencing a hurricane on anyone but I do wish more people could bear witness to the awesome power of God in those quiet places! ❤ 🙏
