Speaking in Tongues through the Holy Spirit





Jesus Christ promised many
wonderful experiences and manifestations of the Holy Spirit to those
who believe in Him. We read in Mark chapter 16 verse 15, "And He
said to them, ( the disciples) "Go into all the world and preach
the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized
will be saved but he who has disbelieved will be condemned. These
signs will accompany those who have believed; in My name they will
cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up
serpents and if they drink any deadly poison it will not hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover." These
signs will follow, and one of the signs that followed was on the day
of Pentecost; those who received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, they
started speaking in other tongues. All those who are baptized in the
Holy Spirit will be able to speak in tongues, to pray in tongues at
anytime that is what Jesus promised to those who believe in Him and
obey Him. There is much deception and misconception about the baptism
in the Holy Spirit. I received the baptism in the Holy Spirit many
years ago after seeking for the baptism in the Holy Spirit for quite
some time, many years actually, and one day while I was praying and
praising Jesus in private, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and I
started speaking in tongues; and ever since I've been able to speak
in that tongue. Jesus gave me a tongue by which I can speak to God
anytime. I don't know what I'm saying but the Spirit of God in me
knows what I need. We do not know rightfully what to pray always, but
when the Holy Spirit is in us He prays with us, in us, and through us
according to the will of God. I speak to God I'm not speaking to
people as the apostle Paul wrote in 1st Corinthians chapter 14 verse
24, "for the one speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to
God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries."
i read verse 14, "for if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays
but my mind is unfruitful." My mind is not in what I'm praying
because I don't know what I am praying. The Holy Spirit is giving me
this entrance that's flowing through me. I pray in tongues anytime
right now while looking to you, {SPEAKING IN TONGUES....
Do I know what I'm going
to say next? No, but I speak and the Holy Spirit gives it to me to
speak. I can pray in tongues in my mind, at any time, at will, and
while I'm praying my mind is not in what I'm saying. My mind can be
busy with a problem at work, and while I'm busy with my problem at
work, in my spirit I pray; I pray in tongues in my mind. I say,
"Lord help me, I don't know what to do, Lord I don't know what
to say to this person," maybe somebody asked me a difficult
question I don't know what to say. I say Lord I don't want to lie,
please give me the words Lord; I want to testify to this person, I
don't know what to say, please give me the words," so while I'm
listening to this person my mind is unfruitful but in my spirit I
pray, { PRAYING IN TONGUES... ..]
My spirit is praying to
God; Why? because i am praying, I'm praying through the Spirit of God
in me. I'm connected to God all the time and the Holy Spirit that
dwells in me never sleeps. He always knows what I need to say, what I
need to do to do the will of God and to be pleasing to Jesus, and
that is why He gave the Spirit.
The apostle Paul also
wrote in Romans chapter 8: 26, "in the same way the Spirit helps
us in our weakness for we do not know how we ought to pray but the
Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words
and He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because,
the Spirit intercedes for the Saints according to the will of God."
I don't rightfully know what to pray, I don't know what to do in this
circumstance, but because I pray in the Spirit [Praying in tongues..]
the Spirit of God manifests Himself in the natural, gives me wisdom,
gives me understanding, He gives me an answer, and I'm led by the
Holy Spirit of God because the Spirit of God dwells in me and I pray
in the Spirit. The Spirit of God flows through me.
Am I in a trance? Am I
drunk? No! I'm sober; my spirit is praying to God. You must be of a
sound mind to be led by the Spirit of God, but you must have the Holy
Spirit of God dwelling in you and you must pray in the Spirit so that
the Spirit of God can manifest through you. You first have to receive
the baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the speaking of tongues, the
ability to speak in tongues before the Spirit of God can flow through
you, and manifest through you. That is why Jesus said to the
disciples, "go to Jerusalem and wait until you receive the gift
of the Holy Spirit. The first gift that you receive is the in filling
with the Holy Spirit. There are many gifts; interpretation, a word of
wisdom, knowledge, healing, according to that which is required by
the Spirit of God, that which God wants us to do because we are led
by the Spirit of God. If it is healing that is required, He works it
through us, IF we are tuned in, if His Spirit is flowing through us.
If it's a word of knowledge or understanding He will give it to us if
we are tuned in, if we are busy with the kingdom of God. You are not
in a trance when you are led by the Holy Spirit; you are tuned in to
the Spirit of God but the Spirit of God must dwell in you. You must
have received the Holy Spirit and you have to exercise that gift of
the Spirit. You can pray in tongues at any time when you are filled
with the Holy Spirit and you MUST pray in tongues. You must exercise
the gift of the Holy Spirit must flow through you. Many people only
want the gift and then they think they have salvation, but they have
no relationship with Jesus. Their relationship dies right there
because they do not exercise the gift the Holy Spirit, is not
operating through them.
Many want to use the gift
for wrong reasons; many churches want to use the gift of healing or
prophecy for their own benefit and they do it. They try to attract
the people. They make the people believe that they are something
special with this gift that they've got and they use it to attract
people to capitalize on it, to build their own church, their own
kingdom. God will judge them because the gift is for the kingdom of
God not for our personal benefit. The Holy Spirit that Jesus gives in
us is for us to serve Him but we need the Holy Spirit. There are are
other manifestations of the Holy Spirit but it all starts with being
filled with the Holy Spirit in the first place and being able to
speak in tongues, everyone! Jesus said these signs will follow those
who believe; they WILL speak in tongues, amongst other things, but if
we are not following Jesus, if the Holy Spirit is not functioning
through us then these things won't happen. We have to be in the
Spirit. We have to be led by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will never
control you nor manipulate your Many people say they are going into a
trance and then they speak in tongues. I'm not in a trance. I'm
speaking to you from my mind but while I'm speaking to you from my
common sense. in my mind and explaining to you you how the Holy
Spirit indwells me I'm praying in tongues. I say, "Lord give me
the right words to convey to the world how the Holy Spirit works and
manifests Himself through those who are led by the Spirit of God."
You need the Holy Spirit and it is through our dependence on, through
the flow of the Holy Spirit through us, that we grow in knowledge and
understanding of the kingdom of God. If you do not have the Holy
Spirit you cannot see the kingdom of God because He reveals himself
in and through us by His Spirit dwelling in us.
To speak in tongues is not
always to speak a known language. You might inadvertently speak a
known language because when you speak in tongues you don't know what
you say. It happened on the day of Pentecost that that the disciples
who were Galileans, they spoke in other tongues from all over the
world. They do not even know it but the Holy Spirit was giving them
utterance and these people who were in Jerusalem and heard these
people making this noise, they heard that they were speaking of that
great deeds of God in their own languages. They said, "these
Galileans, how come they are speaking our languages, where did they
learn it? They never learned, they never understood it and even after
that day they never understood because the Holy Spirit gave utterance
to them. I have spoken languages that I did not even know that I was
speaking in them. One night during a broadcast I was speaking in
tongues and somebody afterwards asked me whether I can speak Spanish.
I sad: No I don't, I don't know a word of Spanish; but they said I
was speaking Spanish. I was not, our speaking to God and the
utterance that He gave me
was in Spanish. I did not know it, but to that person it was a sign
that the Holy Spirit is in me; because the Holy Spirit gives
utterance.
When you speak in tongues
you speak to God. You are busy speaking to God you are not speaking
to people. You do not preach to people by speaking in tongues, like
so many and uninformed people say. When you preach, you preach from
your mind, but when the Holy Spirit gives you utterance you speak
things that you do not know, and that is why interpretation of
tongues is required when there was a message in tongues, like a
prophecy.
Tongues with
interpretation is a different matter and I will explain that in
another video; but it is important for you to understand that we
first need to be fulled with the Holy Spirit. We first need to
receive the indwelling Spirit of Christ in us. We have to first
repent, be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit, before we can be led
by the Holy Spirit. And all those who have received the baptism in
the Holy Spirit can speak in tongues at any time. The Spirit of God
dwells in them.
I've been speaking in
tongues for many years and I will forever speak in tongues, because
it is the gift that God gave me, by which I speak to Him, as Peter
also said on the day of Pentecost, "the promise is for you and
for your children, and for everybody who is far off, those whom the
Lord God will call unto Himself. It is Emmanuel, God with us, the
Holy Spirit of God dwelling in us, and manifesting Himself through us
because we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit; we are led by the
Spirit, we make ourselves available to Him as vessels of honor, as
servants of God. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God they
are the sons of God. Have you received the Holy Spirit? Do you have a
desire for the Holy Spirit? If you do not have the Spirit of Christ
you do not belong to Him. You need the Holy Spirit. Many people do
not know it; you know it. Seek Him, repent, be baptized in water;
seek Him with all your heart and He will fill you with the Holy
Spirit.
May Jesus bless you.
