When I was a little girl, my mother said that when we speak in an unknown language,only God understands and that somebody seen or unseen could not know what we are saying to God or thwart / hinder our praise and requests! Not even ourselves could get between our intimate communion with the Lord ourGod!✨🕊️✨🤍✨🕊️✨🙏🏼✨✝️✨🕊️✨😩😩🤍✨🙏🏼✨😂
Amen, one day my daughter and I were at a convenience store, 3 men came in speaking spanish and were in dire straights, my daughter and I both answered them, to their shock they asked us if we spoke spanish, we both said no because we didn't nor do we even today, yet we heard them in english. Reminded us of Acts, when the people Heard the apostles in their own language ❤ Though we also have our own language given us when we received the baptism of the Holy Spirit ❤ Amen ❤
One thing that has always puzzled me is that in the upper room, the believers spoke in foreign languages, that they did not know beforehand. In churches today, people speaking in tongues, only speak what an unbeliever would say is babble. Why this difference?
I get what you’re saying, but this mixes up two different kinds of tongues. In Acts 2, the apostles were definitely speaking in real human languages, but this was a specific act of the Holy Spirit-what we call the **Gift of Tongues**. This was a sovereign move by the Spirit for the purpose of evangelism. The people in Jerusalem heard the gospel in their own languages, which was a miracle meant to draw them to the message of Christ. But in **1 Corinthians 14**, Paul talks about a different kind of tongues that’s for personal edification and is directed toward God. This isn’t for preaching or evangelism but for personal prayer and worship. If it’s done in public, it needs interpretation; otherwise, it’s not meant to be understood by others. So there’s a clear distinction between the tongues in Acts 2 and those mentioned in 1 Corinthians 14. One is for evangelism, and the other is a spiritual gift for personal edification.
@@YeshuaAkbar7 Thank you for your clear reply. I have only ever heard this form (1 Cor 14) in several churches, and often from Pastors, but never have I heard it interpreted into understandable words. It is often used to ‘work up the crowd’ with the Pastor encouraging everyone to join in. I need to ponder this, as it just doesn’t seem right to me.
@YeshuaAkbar7 I believe that the speaking in tongues in Acts ch.14 is the same on spoken by the believers in Acts ch.2 Many times the Word will use a threefold repetition to alert us to an important spiritual truth Three times in Acts ch 2 the men in the crowd question how they are hearing the believers speak in their native languages. The spiritual truth is the believers were all speaking in one spiritual language, but the men in the crowd Heard what they were saying in their individual native languages. This is speaking in " tongues" operating as a sign to unbelievers, the men in the crowd.
@@YeshuaAkbar7 very good explanation. It's what came to my mind when I thought about it...I don't think that I thought of it on my own..had a little help?
In Acts ch.2 When the believers recieved the Holy Spirit and began to speak in " tongues" they were all actually speaking in the same one spiritual language. The miracle for the men in the crowd was one of hearing what they were saying in their native languages, not one of the believers speaking them. What alerts us to this fact is that three times, the men in the crowd questioned how they were hearing the believers speaking in their native languages. There are two operations of speaking in " tongues" working in this chapter: 1) The first sign that a believer has recieved the Holy Spirit. 2) A sign to unbelievers, the men in the crowd. I once heard of a Jewish man who visited a pentecostal church to see what they were about. When people stood and prayed the woman in front of him began praying in " tongues". After the service, he went up to her and asked here how she had learned to speak in such perfect Hebrew. She turned to him and said," I'm sorry I don't speak Hebrew."
Gorly the Lord Jesus Christ God blessings forever 🙏🙏🙏
