do you speak in tongues

[Floatingaxe]

And tongues are not evidence one has received the Holy Ghost, tongues is evidence one exercised faith. The evidence one has received Gods Holy Spirit is he does the things Jesus did, and Paul, and all of those who received the same from God even Jesus. Matt 3:16. Only then was it manifest to do the things of God if we have the same as these did. Christ manifest in you and walk in the same light as He.

It is an evidence of the presence of the fullness of the Holy Spirit in a life. There are other evidences, but tongues is the most easily read manifestation.

[Mark2005]

Years ago, I was taught that speaking in tongues was of the devil and should be avoided at all costs.

Well, if that is true, I would humbly suggest it's not working too well.

I have met people who claim to speak in tongues that are all about Jesus. But not necessarily fanatics, either.

Of course, there are also those who are mean as the devil, too.

So, it could go either way.

There are mean people who are Christians who don't speak in tongues as well.

As far as resurrections go, this thread takes the cake. There would have been hundreds (literally) of tongues threads since, LOL. But anyway, my answer is yes I do speak in tongues.

Do you understand what you are saying? Do your listeners understand?

Does it enhance your relationship with God?

Yes, daily.

My Pastors spoke about tongues a few weeks back.The Pastor and his wife are of of Pa Dutch lineage, the Pa Dutch language is called a Low German and the true German language is called High German.

During his message, the Pastor told a story about his wife. Many years ago the Pastors wife visited Germany and she had to get up in front of a group of people to speak. She did not know High German, but when she spoke to the group, she started speaking High German perfectly, like she was speaking it for years. (maybe God had a hand in it)

Since God is outside of time, I suppose Worthy threads are too.

Many times I pray in the Spirit, which is in tongues. There are times when I just let Him flow through me in prayer when I don't know what to pray about, but know I need to pray, being moved by His Spirit. I do this privately and not in the open, which I am moved to do so.

I have never given a message in tongues.

Only once was I given a message in tongues & my flesh or (the devil?) fought against me giving it! I did give it after a brief inner struggle & it was interpreted by someone else at the assembly. Praise God!, cause then I knew I had heard correctly & had been obedient.

I usually pray in tongues after I have prayed all I know to pray in English. Sometimes, there is just an overwhelming urge to just pray in tongues.

Sometimes, I am lead to pray for someone I do not know, and at those times I always pray in tongues, because the Spirit knows what to pray when I don't.
