I'll give a realistic example from experience:

My sister went on a missionary trip to Africa where the villages spoke French, but none of those travelling with her (including her) spoke French. When she arrived in Africa, she could suddenly speak to the villagers in fluent French and she could do it so well that she became the translator for her entire missionary group for the 2 weeks that they spent in Africa.

While in Africa, the missionary group had stayed at the house of an African woman and when it was time to return home my sister gave the woman her phone number so they could stay in touch.

After my sister had come home she received a phone call about a week later, but she couldn't understand the person speaking on the other end. After hearing her name, it turned out that it was the African woman calling but she was speaking in French, and my sister could no longer understand what was being said. What's more is she had also lost the ability to speak back to the woman in French.

To this day my sister doesn't speak French.
God gives gifts to those he chooses for HIS glory and not for our own. We need to remember that when seeking his gifts.

I love Justin Peters for speaking the truth of God’s word.

For every genuine gift from God, Satan has a counterfeit. God gave us our heavenly language, it’s no surprise that Satan will try to counterfeit it to throw off true believers.

The Apostle Paul said, "Let everything be done in peace and in order". This falling out, jerking and screaming is anything BUT peace and order.

Thank you pastor. I wish more people were taught this . This why it’s Vital we have and listen to good teachers of the word !

People take this verse from Paul and run with it and totally forget about what Paul also said “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit”. Tongues is a heavenly language given to us by god to speak to him about what it is we need when we don’t have anything to pray for or about. Paul only said that its best not to be used in a church setting when there’s no translator because it doesn’t benefit the church as a whole. However if you are in the secret place with the lord praying one on one it’s should be used because that’s between you and god.

This is another brother I ❤ because he is a great teacher and an example of who a real man of God is.

I was skeptical about this gift and once held the same belief as this preacher until I experienced it personally in my room. I Love you Holy Spirit.

[krisgold]

Exactly! I mentioned dreams to someone once amd she rejected them because she told me if I never spoke in tongues then I don't have the holy spirit. I believed her for a bit but then I realized we all cant be a hand in the body of Christ.

So thankful to Justin Peters: he helped me get out of the slump of NAR/prosperity gospel.

I only met one person who I felt had the genuine gift of "tongues". He was a missionary to a Muslim country. He absolutely flunked language school, but they sent him anyway. For awhile he worked with a translator. After 6 months, they reassigned the translator, thinking he should know Arabic well enough...he didn't AT ALL! They gave him a new local to work with who knew 5 languages but no English. They went to visit a family and he could understand nothing. Tears came to his eyes as he realized how he was now as useless as a baby. He couldn't even explain why he was crying! He could do nothing but pray. His companion told a joke and he laughed. They asked him how he understood. It was a couple of minutes before he realized he was speaking perfect Arabic. Ever after, he could speak perfect Arabic from the country he worked in. He did add some vocabulary over time.

I remember this teaching as a child. Over the time I have realized this is absolutely true. It cannot be from the Holy spirit will give the other the words for our understanding

[markrunk]

Babbling incoherently is not what is meant in the Bible the Holy Spirit allowed them to speak various languages that they never knew how speak prior

Wow! I was talking about this very thing today with a friend. And this is exactly the conclusions we came to! Thank you Lord for this. Amen

I came from a Catholic background but sought out other traditions after reading my bible. I was led to an AG church where some spoke in tongues, with translations, during the service. I didnt believe it was from God. It sounded like gibberish. Men laid their hands on me during alter calls, but I wouldnt believe. I prayed that God would show me the truth. Sure enough, in His gentle way, during prayer in my room, God gave me the blessing and I began to speak with language I didnt understand. Imagine if every thought and emotion you were feeling during prayer was expressed without using your words. Much like laughing, or crying comes from the heart, without words. The language of the Angels. It was true, and I could no longer deny it. For me, its a private and quiet thing. I have never spoke aloud in tounges. Its not always, but only when the Spirit moves me during prayer. Now I know that there are some who counterfeit this gift, and churches who abuse and falsify it. Just like the faith itself, there are the wheat and the tares. As all born again believers know, the most important things after faith itself are love and obedience to the law of Christ. Without these, all other gifts and accolades are just a symbol clashing in Gods ears. God help us.

I started praying in tongues in August 2023. I was in a parking lot, I had been desiring this gift for sometime. I made a simple prayer, yielded my tongue to the Holy Spirit, started to move my tongue to make sounds and immediately felt a welling up from my belly, to my tongue, and a strange language started to stream forth, it felt like it was coming from my innermost being! Since then, it has become like a 2nd language, I sing and pray in tongues any time I want to, and I praise God for this, and I believe this prayer language is for every child of God. Why would God, our Father, limit something that edifies someone's spirit and builds them up in their most holy faith, where the Holy Spirit prays through one's spirit according to God's perfect will, to only a few of His children??? There are various kinds of tongues: for personal edification (for every child of God), tongues for interpretation, tongues as a sign for unbelievers... May God open the hearts of all His children not to hinder His Holy Spirit in this matter of praying in the Holy Spirit. Believe, ask, and do it. May God bless us all.
