10 Myths About Speaking in Tongues Debunked! - Jim Staley

There are not too many topics out there more controversial than the gift of tongues. In this teaching, Jim Staley pulls out the Top Ten Myths About Tongues and explains how this topic has been massively misunderstood on both sides of the aisle. While there is no doubt that this gift has been abused and counterfeited by the enemy over the last few decades, it doesn't take away from the fact that it was a powerful gift to spread the gospel in the first century, and is promised in Joel to once again be poured out on His people in the last days. This is one of several major teachings that Jim will be doing on this subject in an effort to bring the proper balance of the Truth and the Spirit!

This is only the first video in a series of videos I am producing around this topic. I just finished filming an 1 and 45 min teaching on every scripture related to this topic. This topic must be understood by the body.

Wonderful message Brother. The Messianic movement has definitely thrown the baby out with the bath water. I have also been guilty of this. I received the gift of tongues as a teenager in a charasmatic church. Years later as an adult, I left the church in pursuit of the truth of Torah, turned to Judaism and then came back to Messiah Yeshua. Since then, I have seen Messianics disregard the spiritual gifts because it was church stuff, while at the same time refusing to have anything to do with anything they label as being Jewish. It has grieved me to see this neglect of so much truth and I believe it is the work of the enemy to leave Messianic believers unarmed and unequipped. Whenever I don't know what to pray about something, I pray in the Spirit. Recently I lost my son to suicide. To say I have no words to pray would be an understatement, but time spent with the Father praying in my prayer language always leads me into His presence. I pray that this message will be shared widely. Abba bless you brother.

I spike once in a patio bar area to a guy an he heard God in his language an understood .Cried an Said thank U an left an i never seen him again . I dont know What God said . So awsome . It was during a time i would go to a bar in my town an dance but looked for people to share God or prayer an comfort. Many things happen in this season of my life . I no longer feel a need to go to a bar anymore . I always believed never tie Gods hands when He calls on U . Hes greater than the things of the World . All Glory to Yahweh Amen

2013 I desired Yahs spiritual gifts and I wanted to speak in tongues because I witnessed for the first time in my Bible study group and I was in love with the gift.
So I fasted & prayed to father for it. Then one day a brother from bible study was looking for me because the father told him I was ready. I had 4 witnesses from our study group who saw this. I had my hands up and kept thanking Christ (Yeshua) and all of a sudden I spoke fluently in unknown language, I was smiling and crying tears of joy and even danced a little but while doing all of this at the same time I had a vision of me as a little girl dancing in front of the ocean twirling and raising my hands to the sky praising Abba 😢 i felt drunk in the spirit and so light. It was the most beautiful indescribable experience and so powerful that a sister near me received the same gift. So I still speak it in my prayer time with father and I have recorded myself to hear what it is I’m saying and I noticed that some of the words I repeated and when I researched a word or two it was ancient Hebrew ❤ thank you for breaking this down to us and it brings me great joy that this definitely from father and I’m honored 🙏🏽 Shalom

Thank you so much. Thank you Lord for that great gift. May all of my dear brothers and sisters get it.

This is probably the MOST biblical interpretation of the biblical gift of tongues !
I cannot believe how balanced, well-documented, careful and all-in-all biblical these explanations are.
Praise the Lord for this inspiration He gave to brother Jim Staley !
