After praying to be able to speak in tongues one day shortly after I actually did feel a presence that was so physically powerful come over me that it knocked me down to my knees and words of another language poured out of my mouth for maybe 15 minutes. The power of the Holy Spirit met me where I was at. It was a phenomenal feeling.
After 21 years of being a Christian, I finally managed to speak in tongues today. Praise the Lord. I have been afraid for so long to try speaking in tongues because I was scared that if I were to open my mouth and try to speak, nothing will come out and I will be so disappointed. That fear of failing kept me from trying. When I finally managed to utter my first complete sentence, it dawned on me that I had it in me all along and that it is indeed God's will for me (and all Christians) to speak in tongue. I believed that God has also led me to this video to give me courage and remind me that faith is really all that I needed. Thank you Mr Schoenheit and may God bless you and your family. If anyone is afraid like me, just believe that God wants you to speak in tongues too and he will patiently wait for that day when you are ready.
Janice Lee plz, understand u can't learn to speak in tongues. no one can teach u to speak in tongues its false false false. The word says, u speak in tongues as the spirit gives u utterance. Its a supernatural language, man don't understand it, let alone teach it.
Nnephilim No. Listen. It's not "LEARNING" to speak in tongues. It's simply DOING it. It's not learning a language. It's allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you, but it STILL is something that God allows us to do, we just don't. There are times when the Holy Spirit will just hit you with an utterance of tongues, but We're also allowed to as the Holy Spirit to speak through us whenever. Don't think out the words your saying, just pray and speak. But don't try to analyze what you're saying. Trust the Holy Spirit to speak through you. When you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit it is something God gives you to BE ABLE TO ACCESS, not something to just be like "Ooooh I don't know when the Lord will do this, or if he will this time, but maybe next time hell speak through me!" No. lol He gives us abilities to put in action according to His Will.
I am from India.Born again in February 2015.As compared to other Christians I had the opportunity to meet Christ first than Christianity as religion. I have no doubts what's soever. I seek in tounges. glory to God Praise to God
I was not taught. I didn't even ask God for this gift, I didn't even know what it was. I went to a little church in April 1973. I was 17 sitting in the pew. The Holy Spirit drew me to the alter, I fell to my knees speaking in tongues. My whole life changed. Everyone could see it, all my friends and family.
Anahutch1 thats exactly how it happens, plain and simple fact. We speak as the Spirit give us utterance and its not something we can learn from man but only from the Spirit. Man can't understand it, let alone teach it.
Anahutch1 Brother how was your life changed by speaking gibberish? Is not tongues and interpretation of literal language by the means of edifying in a church?
Yes, He wants us all to speak in tongues just as He wants us all to prophesy; but even more so to prophesy. 1 Cor 14:5 "Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up." Since they are all gifts, we can't learn by practice how to speak in tongues just as we can't learn by practice how to prophesy. That's what I believe. God bless you brother.
I love the way you teach with such tender mercy!!! I've been baptised with the Holy Spirit with tongues manifested in 1994~!!! Listen folks...this IS empowering for every believer.....I was saved in 1985...and am so sad I did NOT know or learn of this importance until 9 yrs. later~! Don't wait please~!!! This revolutionizes your Walk in Christ...the Anointed One and His anointing...and you will NOT be able to contain His witness~!!! Praise Yahweh!!!
Excellent 4 part series John on Tongues. The only thing I didn't hear you mention, that I've heard many other pastors mention is that you 'can' ask God for interpretation of the personal tongues you speak. My wife did that yrs ago when she would speak/pray in tongues, she would often ask for interpretation, and after she prayed in tongues she would speak in English the interpretation. I've personally been trying for 24 yrs now to pray/speak in tongues, but so far, cannot. I don't understand why I cannot, but I also will not give up trying to learn, as I know the importance & benefit of this 'gift' / 'manifestation'. Again, thank you John for sharing this teaching. I will come back and have another listen another day. God Bless!
BROTHER MY MIND IS BEING BLOWN RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS TO YOU ! I just finished responding to you on your last video but left out that I didn't speak in tongues. EVERYTHING YOU WERE SAYING IN THIS VIDEO WAS TRUE ! I always felt like I had to wait to be blessed by it or something but, I simply did what you said and started SPEAKING WORDS I DIDN'T KNOW ! I'm almost shaking ! I'M NOT LYING ! THANK YOU BROTHER THANK GOD THANK YOU ! I can't say how much i'm buggin out right now ! I've ...
YES! This is great! Over the past few days i am doing this in the mornings; what a different type of day i am having as a result. What is happening to me is on the inside and definitely from The Holy Spirit. This is transforming me. i have used this before whenever i am praying quietly with others; healing prayer ministry but now i am doing this on my own with God. If my inner world is spirit filled then my outer world consequently. If i am changed on the inside, my 'outer' world improves!
I recieved the baptism of the holy spirit 2 years ago, and i was able to only speak one syllable. I am now past that, this is the best video on tongues . Thanks!
surely you have helped me because I have already started speakin in tongues.......I am speaking like a kid but i love it because the Holy spirit is real.....thanx brother
Thank you for this video! I spoke in tongues for the first time last Sunday, and I have been trying to do it again. But like he said, I had been waiting for some overwhelming spirit to take me over and speak for me, instead of walking in faith and opening my mouth and trusting that the spirit will give me utterance. And also like he said, I didn't want to speak it myself because I doubted, asking "what if I'm just making this up?". This video has answered my questions! All glory be to God!
Acts 2:4 "and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the spirit enabled them to proclaim" is the right translation my friend.
God wants all men and women to speak in tongues. Just like he wants us all to believe in salvation. Why would God give us all these gifts if we don't use them.
was reading some prayers while fasting and praying ive already been speaking in tongues but dang the spirit came over me and it felt like act where the disciples were filled for me. i have no doubt in my mind that i do not have tongues. it was soo powerful when the spirit came spewing out of me soo beautiful i was like like whoaaa.
David, it just seems like there should be the power of God when one speaks in tongues i.e. the power of the spirit of God gives one utterance. Otherwise it is not of God, it is just syllables.
those who question being led or instructed into speaking in tongues might consider the struggle we all experience with God and our mixed responses to His word in other areas. It's about surrender and obedience that seeems akward at first. We want to be in total understanding and control. This is the fleshly tendency which is controlled by our enemy's use of fear. Be a trusting child. The whole purpose is to go beyond the limitation of our doubt, fear and own limitations. Abba is good and desires to give us good things!
I never said tongues was gibberish. those are your words. There is only one who I have to give account to and you don't have any authority to send me to hell. Your words remind me of James and John wanting to call down fire from heaven. Jesus told them that they didn't know what spirit was influencing their words.
you are hung up on the word "instructed" and yet once more you use condemning words rather than corrective ones. this seems more in keeping with a religious spirit rather than someone who knows Jesus in an intimate relationship. may His peace rule in your heart.
I was baptised in the Holy Spirit, and thought I could speak in tongues straight away...Maybe 3 weeks later I opened my mouth and bang it was there. been 6 years now 😀
Brother be cautious. We aren't baptised in water to gain the holy spirit but baptised by faith. Through faith alone and not in worksl lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8 Tongues are used to interpret literal written language. It is not an unknown language and it was used in the church only for the use of edification of those who spoke other odd languages that differed from the rest of the church.
I am glad to have found your channel. I took PFAL also back in the mid 1980's. It is God who gives the utterance. I am blessed to see you are speaking God's Word. Stand strong my brother in Christ!
My own experience of starting to speak in tongues was a lot like you describe here -- I wasn't in some hyped-up Pentecostal meeting, I was just in my room at home and kind of said, "Hey, let's give it a whirl, why not?" :-) and decided to just start speaking and see what came out. lol :-) It was easy and still is -- like Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." :-)
Good morning and God bless you for continuing in His Word. Thanks to the PFAL grads sharing in Topeka KS I took the class and spread the Word like wildfire. SIT is wonderful, proving my gift of spirit never got taken away from me even at my lowest point
Loved this teaching! I have a desire to speak in tongues and you really made it easy to understand what I need to do on my part. I have felt it bubbling up like it’s just on the tip of my tongue but I don’t open my mouth and move the air. I will work on this note that I get it.
When I was a child (I'm now 65) I sometimes went to my aunts Pentecostal church. They had lengthy sessions of speaking in tongues & I must say I got pretty freaked out. No-one explained anything to me as to what they were doing or even WHY they were doing it. I'm sure THAT was the beginning of my journey AWAY from Christianity. Today I have a faith - it's simply not CHRISTIAN faith. But thankyou for such a passionate explanation. Speaking in tongues makes such wonderful sense now. God bless you!
Paul said that the spirit speaks mysteries to God and the mind is unfruitful, its not language thought up in the mind, its the holy spirit that gives the utterance. And we should pray that we may interpret what was spoken. A spiritual gift doesn't need to be worked up, once its given from God we have it but one must have the holy spirit first. A natural minded man/sinner cannot jump off and start speaking in tongues. Only the holy spirit that given to only believers can receive these gifts
yeah, you kind of think, am I making that up, or its the devil trying to throw you down. I am saved so the Holy Ghost must by the will of God almighty manifest in me
There is a lot of good discussion over this topic. In Acts (as mentioned) the Apostles spoke in other tongues, which we understand to mean language. To understand what is happening, we need only read further to see that as Peter preached, everyone outside understood it in their own language..in other words Peter was speaking in another "tongue or language" The Corinthians verse 14:2 I believe refers to a spiritual gift that some have, and some don't. that chapter also speaks of prophecy,
Hello, so while watching the end of this video. I started speaking tongues. I feel like I’m speaking mumble jumble. I hate to think that since people are saying they do a phrase a a time. I felt like I could just keep going. I need help to distinguish whether it’s me or the Holy Spirit. Please help
Great video!! I was one of those people who thought that "something was going to come over me". I was guided similar to how to this video. After I received the gift, there was also a short time where I got "stuck" on 1 phrase that I kept repeating. I finally got past it! ha! I realized that most people don't talk about the EXPERIENCE of speaking in tongues. Thanks for this video!
Amen, brother. Thanks for sharing from a genuine, grounded heart. Tongues are real, and they're for everybody. Paul spoke in tongues more than anybody! And he said to follow him as he follows Christ!! Come on, folks! When I'm the closest to God, I speak in tongues more...great video, my brother. God bless you.
Speaking in tongues is a very powerful tool for the born again believer, it was not available before the day of Pentecost.. Every born again believer should be encouraged to use the holy spirit gift and one of the great ways to build up yourself is with speaking in tongues. To me its like God gave to mosses the 10 commandments and some choose to stay in line w/ them and some choose to deny them, speaking in tongues is what we Christians in the grace administration should use. Any believer that chooses to dismiss the importance of speaking in tongues is not using the power they have been given, choosing to ignore the power of the gift of the holy spirit not only cripples the brother or sister in Christ but those they fellowship with as they are not giving their best to the community of faith and they won't be praying as much as they can and if your spirit can be built up then they will never grow up in God.
Okay i was in youth group about 10 years ago or more and my youth pastor called for prayer and He said we will pray and those who will recieve the gift will receive it. And they were praying and laid hands on us and some started to speak in different languages.i was one of them and i felt the holy spirit come and I just started speaking i dont not wish to brag or anything. I am not the best example of a christian so It doesn't mean i have more power or anything more than a believer who cant speak in toungues. I do not understand what i say but I only do it in my personal prayer to exalt God. Thats it but i can do it on command, but you shouldnt have to practice this it is a gift that will come at once in my opinion but. It doesnt leave you. I hope i helped
hahaha..same thing goes on me..i've been speaking in tounges since this may, 1 week before the Pentecost sunday.well the Holy Spirit actually come to fill me on my 20th bday when i was attending a conference.
I am new to speaking in tongues and am watching your P1 video and my question is: "How does one know if they are speaking in a Holy Spirit tongue if no one is ever around to interpret or to say "hey I didn't know your spoke in "??????" language?)" I hear people from my church speaking in what they believe is tongues, but again how do they know? No one has ever said "I understood what Jane said while she was speaking in tongues" Please help in explaining.
What about 1 Cor 14:3-5 that says God would rather have you prophesie then speak in tounges because verse 4 says Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church, it goes on to say that he would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. and if you do speak in tongues you must have a interpreter so everyone can understand it because if no one understands it then who benifits from it example read 1 Cor 14:23-34
continuing - prophecy is a Spiritual gift that once again some have, and some don't. We are all different parts of the same body, and we are gifted differently according to God's divine plan. I wouldn't say that all of us should speak in tongues as Corinthians 14:4 says "One who speaks in tongues edifies himself, but one who prophesies edifies the church." I hold against no one whether they speak it or not, and I don't believe we are command to do so. love the teaching though.
Thank you for sharing! 1 Corinthians 14:5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[a] but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
glory to Jesus , i am a new born Christian and i have Holy spirits baptism , i have one question ... sometimes when i pray i think about many things , sometime i think about my friends and many silly things also .... this is good or not ?????? praying time our mind have to work or not ??? can you tell me please .
Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost. One of many gifts given to believers. 1Cor 12:4-6 These signs shall follow them that believe, Mark 16:17 In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. The Holy Spirit gives utterance as he speaks. Acts 2:4 I have this gift and I walk in truth and light ONLY with the Lord Jesus Christ and his word. You have to pray for it. I would pray for hours, still do. Unbelievers/ false teachers/pastors speak Satan's tongue.
been wanting to speak in tongues but it was just like you said.... No one ever told me I could actually do it ! It's coming out a bit crazy but, I just keep going as you said. I don't know whether to cry or jump up and down ! I just have to keep breathing because I run out of air like you said lol. My mind doesn't want to believe it ( or maybe that's the devil like you said ) ... I'm just ... Awww man lol .... THANK YOU ! TO GOD BE THE GLORY !
Thank you, John, this is an excellent class. It took me a long time to speak in tongues after I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior; I am very thankful to the person who helped me to discover and to understand God's Word because she never paid attention to my lack of interest to speak in tongues and she kept on insisting. As silly as it all sounded to me, I decided to speak in tongues when she said that it was an act of obedience to God and that I would find out how beneficial it was once I started. Well.. Bless God and bless Daysie. Speaking in tongues is an amazing spiritual weapon.
You say God wants us ALL to speak in tongues? But Corinthians was written by Paul to the Church at Corinth and he stated he would like to see all blessed with speaking in tongues. But the scripture says each gift is given or not given according to God's will and in a measure that he determines. He basically said "yes it would be nice if we all could speak in tongues" he then said "I WOULD RATHER HAVE YOU PROPHECY, FOR HE WHO SPEAKS IN TONGUES EDIFIES HIMSELF HE WHO PROPHECIES EDIFIES GOD!
I found this video series a blessing thank you. I do have a question of sorts. Do you know of any credible resources where I could discover if my tongues are an earthly language? I want to know what I am saying. Thanks again and God Bless.
1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
I got tongue cancer in my early 30's and had it removed. At the time I worked with thinners (paint solvent) which dried my hands out. So every time I would turn the pages on my trusty King James I would get some of the ink on my tongue when I tried to moisten my fingers. Because the bible I had was produced in some dodgy place in Asia, it was somewhat poisonous. So now that I don't have a tongue how can I receive Holy glossolalia? Is there a way of miming or hand signing in tongues? What about expressive dance?
Ask abba father to form the words in your mind. Sometimes i do it in my mind when i lye in bed. Just ask abba father that the tongues come from him and nobody else.
thank you so much nice video question for you what about people prophesying prophesyingin church after someone just spoke in tounges almost like translating it. i don't understand that part could you explain it to me?
This is an awesome teaching! Though I must take issue; there is such a thing as speaking supernaturally where the Holy Ghost speaks through a person. Just like in old Israel God would supernaturally lite the initial fire in the temple then it was their job to keep it burning naturally. It's far better if a person speaks supernaturally at least one time. Then if they follow the directions prescribed in this video they will find the blessings to be insanely tremendous!
this is the most frustrating thing to do. takes a long time and its too far fetched for me. i need help. its not as easy as people think. im one of the few who dont speak in tongues in my church and i feel out of place as if i dont belong there when they talk in tongues
I could have written your post. Feel exactly the same way and i have been saved many many years. I feel so dry not having this gift..God knows our hearts desires. He will give us this precious gift. Blessings..
Haddassa Block this guy Mark if he keeps bullying you. I reported him. There's no reason for him to call anyone names. And he's right, we don't have to listen to him. Take him up on that. I have. God bless you and may the Lord make His Face shine upon you. He adores you. Truly.
Hey TheBullionBug, John actually talks about this exact topic in our video series on Interpretation of Tongues that we just recently uploaded. If you go to our page you can watch them on there. We hope they bless you. -Truth
when you were making the video, were you making it up, or was it from the Holy Spirit? when I explain to people about speaking in tongues there's no way I can speak in tongues when not in the situation of praying or worshiping the Lord.
god is a god of order. that's why I don't understand why he would want people to "talk" in "languages" nobody understands. and if it was important to God, it would be described in many verses in the bible in different books, not only in first corinthians and acts
In the first days of the church people spoke in tongues or Languages. This kick started the church. The people were able to go out into other lands and tell the good news of Jesus in THEIR own language. There is much controversy of this subject. Just hold fast to the word of God and the Holy Spirit will lead you.
hi there, i've been trying to speak in tongues for several weeks/months with no success. My pastor says just speak in groans and tones until the words come out. So far its only lal lalalalala. but no tongues... Any suggestions? Thanks and stay blessed!
+Rajiv Jadhav Seek the Holy Spirit Himself. He is real! Or have Spirit filled people lay hands on you. Don't give up! One of my friends got the gift in their sleep. Another while taking a shower. Seek and you will find. Ask and it will be given. Knock, and the door will be opened.
Ever sense the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit is available to anyone who asks. Just ask the Lord to baptize you in the Holy spirit and believe that you will recieve.that is the key, BELIEVE just like you did when you were saved with faith like a child. when you speak in tongues it may come out spontaneously. I know people who have had that experience. personally I had to open my mouth and speak out in faith. my mouth didn't move by itself. If you do what I have said and recieve the Holy spirit please reply. that would mean so much to me.
I don't think it is uncommon to start out with one or two syllables like that.you may have already recieved but pray and ask God if I'm correct.ive heard some people say their prayer language consists of few syllables.
When I speak in tongues, it doesn't sound exactly like a language, but a gibberish and uncontrolled movements of lips, teeth and tongue with the sch- sound in the beginning of the speech after I stop to catch my breath. I notice that the pattern is quite different each time I speak. There was a long period that I considered myself a non-believer, but I was still able to speak in tongues. Is this considered normal? When you think that you don't believe, what God blessed you with still remains?
1Corinth 14:5 Please note if I said I would that all were women or all were millionaires (do all become women or millionaires), we are never commanded or instructed to speak in tongues. Did the people at Pentecost go to classes to learn the Gift. Please could you give me 5 reasons for Pentecost and what was the reason God gave tongues. Does the bible not say we are all the eye or the foot, Corinthians says not all SPEAK in tongues so why do you want to get baby Christians that do not know the word to allow evil spirits in maybe. Seriously how many times did Pentecost happen in Acts? WHO IS TONGUES FOR ? UNBELIEVER, WHY TRY MAKE BELIEVERS SPEAK IN TONGUES AS ITS NOT A SIGN FOR THEM.

Ok, so ur telling what u said is different from what i said in which way?
I am from India.Born again in February 2015.As compared to other Christians I had the opportunity to meet Christ first than Christianity as religion.
I have no doubts what's soever.

No one in the bible was ever "taught" to speak in tongues so how can you teach it? Who exactly taught it to them?
Yes, He wants us all to speak in tongues just as He wants us all to prophesy; but even more so to prophesy.

I just started speaking in tongues 😁. It does sound bizarre but I like it. 👍💜🎊🎀🎉
those who question being led or instructed into speaking in tongues might consider the struggle we all experience with God and our mixed responses to His word in other areas. It's about surrender and obedience that seeems akward at first. We want to be in total understanding and control. This is the fleshly tendency which is controlled by our enemy's use of fear. Be a trusting child. The whole purpose is to go beyond the limitation of our doubt, fear and own limitations. Abba is good and desires to give us good things!
I never said tongues was gibberish. those are your words. There is only one who I have to give account to and you don't have any authority to send me to hell. Your words remind me of James and John wanting to call down fire from heaven. Jesus told them that they didn't know what spirit was influencing their words.
you are hung up on the word "instructed" and yet once more you use condemning words rather than corrective ones. this seems more in keeping with a religious spirit rather than someone who knows Jesus in an intimate relationship. may His peace rule in your heart.
AMEN BROTHER..you have the fear of the LORD
positive message, people can be so negative, It is written by the almighty GOD so people believe and receive if you haven't already.
amen!
amen, sister!
I was baptised in the Holy Spirit, and thought I could speak in tongues straight away...Maybe 3 weeks later I opened my mouth and bang it was there.
been 6 years now 😀
Brother be cautious. We aren't baptised in water to gain the holy spirit but baptised by faith. Through faith alone and not in worksl lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8
Tongues are used to interpret literal written language. It is not an unknown language and it was used in the church only for the use of edification of those who spoke other odd languages that differed from the rest of the church.
When I speak in tongues, I speak really fast. When I really get into it and it starts flowing, it is really beautiful
I am glad to have found your channel. I took PFAL also back in the mid 1980's. It is God who gives the utterance. I am blessed to see you are speaking God's Word. Stand strong my brother in Christ!
after I watched your video amazing I experienced the speaking in tongues! it's amazing.... goosebumps! 😭💖 Thank you Lord God!
My own experience of starting to speak in tongues was a lot like you describe here -- I wasn't in some hyped-up Pentecostal meeting, I was just in my room at home and kind of said, "Hey, let's give it a whirl, why not?" :-) and decided to just start speaking and see what came out. lol :-) It was easy and still is -- like Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." :-)
Good morning and God bless you for continuing in His Word. Thanks to the PFAL grads sharing in Topeka KS I took the class and spread the Word like wildfire. SIT is wonderful, proving my gift of spirit never got taken away from me even at my lowest point
Thank you so much for this, I know this will help people who are truly seeking God's blessing in this area. It has helped me. Thank you.
Loved this teaching! I have a desire to speak in tongues and you really made it easy to understand what I need to do on my part. I have felt it bubbling up like it’s just on the tip of my tongue but I don’t open my mouth and move the air. I will work on this note that I get it.
When I was a child (I'm now 65) I sometimes went to my aunts Pentecostal church. They had lengthy sessions of speaking in tongues & I must say I got pretty freaked out. No-one explained anything to me as to what they were doing or even WHY they were doing it. I'm sure THAT was the beginning of my journey AWAY from Christianity. Today I have a faith - it's simply not CHRISTIAN faith. But thankyou for such a passionate explanation. Speaking in tongues makes such wonderful sense now. God bless you!
Paul said that the spirit speaks mysteries to God and the mind is unfruitful, its not language thought up in the mind, its the holy spirit that gives the utterance. And we should pray that we may interpret what was spoken. A spiritual gift doesn't need to be worked up, once its given from God we have it but one must have the holy spirit first. A natural minded man/sinner cannot jump off and start speaking in tongues. Only the holy spirit that given to only believers can receive these gifts
I enjoyed this i was smiling the whole time I had been speaking in tongues but i doubted myself. Thank you.
yeah, you kind of think, am I making that up, or its the devil trying to throw you down. I am saved so the Holy Ghost must by the will of God almighty manifest in me
Paul is Not referring to private prayer language when he makes that statement. Context is everything.
There is a lot of good discussion over this topic. In Acts (as mentioned) the Apostles spoke in other tongues, which we understand to mean language. To understand what is happening, we need only read further to see that as Peter preached, everyone outside understood it in their own language..in other words Peter was speaking in another "tongue or language" The Corinthians verse 14:2 I believe refers to a spiritual gift that some have, and some don't. that chapter also speaks of prophecy,
Hello, so while watching the end of this video. I started speaking tongues. I feel like I’m speaking mumble jumble. I hate to think that since people are saying they do a phrase a a time. I felt like I could just keep going. I need help to distinguish whether it’s me or the Holy Spirit. Please help
Great video!! I was one of those people who thought that "something was going to come over me". I was guided similar to how to this video. After I received the gift, there was also a short time where I got "stuck" on 1 phrase that I kept repeating. I finally got past it! ha! I realized that most people don't talk about the EXPERIENCE of speaking in tongues. Thanks for this video!
Amen, brother. Thanks for sharing from a genuine, grounded heart. Tongues are real, and they're for everybody. Paul spoke in tongues more than anybody! And he said to follow him as he follows Christ!! Come on, folks! When I'm the closest to God, I speak in tongues more...great video, my brother. God bless you.
Glad I found this. Plan on watching all 4 parts since this interests me.
Speaking in tongues is a very powerful tool for the born again believer, it was not available before the day of Pentecost.. Every born again believer should be encouraged to use the holy spirit gift and one of the great ways to build up yourself is with speaking in tongues. To me its like God gave to mosses the 10 commandments and some choose to stay in line w/ them and some choose to deny them, speaking in tongues is what we Christians in the grace administration should use. Any believer that chooses to dismiss the importance of speaking in tongues is not using the power they have been given, choosing to ignore the power of the gift of the holy spirit not only cripples the brother or sister in Christ but those they fellowship with as they are not giving their best to the community of faith and they won't be praying as much as they can and if your spirit can be built up then they will never grow up in God.
your really a good servant sir keep teaching inspiring other peoples
God bless you I can now do it am in Kenya Africa am pastor moses and would like to start a fellowship of true and spirit fellowship God bless you
+moses nazaria God bless you!
Okay i was in youth group about 10 years ago or more and my youth pastor called for prayer and He said we will pray and those who will recieve the gift will receive it. And they were praying and laid hands on us and some started to speak in different languages.i was one of them and i felt the holy spirit come and I just started speaking i dont not wish to brag or anything. I am not the best example of a christian so It doesn't mean i have more power or anything more than a believer who cant speak in toungues. I do not understand what i say but I only do it in my personal prayer to exalt God. Thats it but i can do it on command, but you shouldnt have to practice this it is a gift that will come at once in my opinion but. It doesnt leave you. I hope i helped
@Susan Park ME TOO! I feel so much consolation now. Thank You Jesus!
a fellow Christian at work constantly worries about our boss, I tell him, just pray in tongues let the Holy Spirit give you peace
hahaha..same thing goes on me..i've been speaking in tounges since this may, 1 week before the Pentecost sunday.well the Holy Spirit actually come to fill me on my 20th bday when i was attending a conference.
My tongues is so unique I just love speaking in it!!!
Big Mike what language is your tongue?
I really desire to speak in tongues but it's not happening ...😔
What about the part that says that if you speak in tongues, another will interpret?
Can You pray for me so that I may receive my prayer language. God Bless you ☁️🔥💜🙏🏽
I am new to speaking in tongues and am watching your P1 video and my question is: "How does one know if they are speaking in a Holy Spirit tongue if no one is ever around to interpret or to say "hey I didn't know your spoke in "??????" language?)" I hear people from my church speaking in what they believe is tongues, but again how do they know? No one has ever said "I understood what Jane said while she was speaking in tongues" Please help in explaining.
What about 1 Cor 14:3-5 that says God would rather have you prophesie then speak in tounges because verse 4 says Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church, it goes on to say that he would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. and if you do speak in tongues you must have a interpreter so everyone can understand it because if no one understands it then who benifits from it example read 1 Cor 14:23-34
continuing - prophecy is a Spiritual gift that once again some have, and some don't. We are all different parts of the same body, and we are gifted differently according to God's divine plan. I wouldn't say that all of us should speak in tongues as Corinthians 14:4 says "One who speaks in tongues edifies himself, but one who prophesies edifies the church." I hold against no one whether they speak it or not, and I don't believe we are command to do so. love the teaching though.
Thank you for sharing! 1 Corinthians 14:5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[a] but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues,[b] unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Sir can you advice regarding prayer i should pray before i attempt speaking in toungues
glory to Jesus , i am a new born Christian and i have Holy spirits baptism , i have one question ... sometimes when i pray i think about many things , sometime i think about my friends and many silly things also .... this is good or not ?????? praying time our mind have to work or not ??? can you tell me please .
Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost. One of many gifts given to believers. 1Cor 12:4-6 These signs shall follow them that believe, Mark 16:17 In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. The Holy Spirit gives utterance as he speaks. Acts 2:4 I have this gift and I walk in truth and light ONLY with the Lord Jesus Christ and his word. You have to pray for it. I would pray for hours, still do. Unbelievers/ false teachers/pastors speak Satan's tongue.
been wanting to speak in tongues but it was just like you said.... No one ever told me I could actually do it ! It's coming out a bit crazy but, I just keep going as you said. I don't know whether to cry or jump up and down ! I just have to keep breathing because I run out of air like you said lol. My mind doesn't want to believe it ( or maybe that's the devil like you said ) ... I'm just ... Awww man lol .... THANK YOU ! TO GOD BE THE GLORY !
This was a great, well broken-down explanation.
Very good teaching.
Thank you, John, this is an excellent class. It took me a long time to speak in tongues after I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior; I am very thankful to the person who helped me to discover and to understand God's Word because she never paid attention to my lack of interest to speak in tongues and she kept on insisting. As silly as it all sounded to me, I decided to speak in tongues when she said that it was an act of obedience to God and that I would find out how beneficial it was once I started. Well.. Bless God and bless Daysie. Speaking in tongues is an amazing spiritual weapon.
Very helpful information. Thanks a lot.
You say God wants us ALL to speak in tongues? But Corinthians was written by Paul to the Church at Corinth and he stated he would like to see all blessed with speaking in tongues. But the scripture says each gift is given or not given according to God's will and in a measure that he determines. He basically said "yes it would be nice if we all could speak in tongues" he then said "I WOULD RATHER HAVE YOU PROPHECY, FOR HE WHO SPEAKS IN TONGUES EDIFIES HIMSELF HE WHO PROPHECIES EDIFIES GOD!
Can you explain the difference between Acts 2 : 7 -11 and I Co 14: 2 please?
What does it mean when it says in 1 Corinthians 14:14, For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying. What is the "spirit" in this case?
wheres part 2 cant find it? But sweet video thanks so much for putting up these amazing vids!!
Apostle paul and all writers in the bible wrote what they wrote under the inspiration of the Holy spirit.
Hope you can teach me I have same belief as yours....
How do you know it's a language?
I found this video series a blessing thank you. I do have a question of sorts. Do you know of any credible resources where I could discover if my tongues are an earthly language? I want to know what I am saying. Thanks again and God Bless.
1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
Thank you for sharing this truth!!!
Why don't I sound like you when I speak? Are there many different tongues?
I got tongue cancer in my early 30's and had it removed. At the time I worked with thinners (paint solvent) which dried my hands out. So every time I would turn the pages on my trusty King James I would get some of the ink on my tongue when I tried to moisten my fingers. Because the bible I had was produced in some dodgy place in Asia, it was somewhat poisonous. So now that I don't have a tongue how can I receive Holy glossolalia? Is there a way of miming or hand signing in tongues? What about expressive dance?
ilivinahouse ;)
Ask abba father to form the words in your mind. Sometimes i do it in my mind when i lye in bed. Just ask abba father that the tongues come from him and nobody else.
God bless u from me and my family
This was very helpful in many ways thank you so much! God bless!
thank you so much nice video question for you what about people prophesying prophesyingin church after someone just spoke in tounges almost like translating it. i don't understand that part could you explain it to me?
This is an awesome teaching! Though I must take issue; there is such a thing as speaking supernaturally where the Holy Ghost speaks through a person. Just like in old Israel God would supernaturally lite the initial fire in the temple then it was their job to keep it burning naturally. It's far better if a person speaks supernaturally at least one time. Then if they follow the directions prescribed in this video they will find the blessings to be insanely tremendous!
How does praying in tongues start and how do you know for sure that the Holy Spirit has given you the gift of tongues?..................
this is a must seee video about the same subject
Speaking in tongues
thanks so much...faith is the main problem here !
thank you so much for sharing .all praises to our Living Lord.Amen.God bless all .
this is the most frustrating thing to do. takes a long time and its too far fetched for me. i need help. its not as easy as people think. im one of the few who dont speak in tongues in my church and i feel out of place as if i dont belong there when they talk in tongues
I could have written your post. Feel exactly the same way and i have been saved many many years. I feel so dry not having this gift..God knows our hearts desires. He will give us this precious gift. Blessings..
i am feeling the same as you. i have been a christian for over 30 years.i have asked the Lord for help but feel fake when i try.
thank you:) you are most kind:)
Haddassa Block this guy Mark if he keeps bullying you. I reported him. There's no reason for him to call anyone names. And he's right, we don't have to listen to him. Take him up on that. I have. God bless you and may the Lord make His Face shine upon you. He adores you. Truly.
couldn*t agree more.
Hey TheBullionBug,
John actually talks about this exact topic in our video series on Interpretation of Tongues that we just recently uploaded. If you go to our page you can watch them on there. We hope they bless you.
-Truth
when you were making the video, were you making it up, or was it from the Holy Spirit? when I explain to people about speaking in tongues there's no way I can speak in tongues when not in the situation of praying or worshiping the Lord.
Thank you💖..
God bless you my dear brother!!! I've been fasting and praying for thisz
Fasting is an interesting word study. Check Isaiah to see what is the fast that god wants for his people.
Thank you, Sir
god is a god of order. that's why I don't understand why he would want people to "talk" in "languages" nobody understands. and if it was important to God, it would be described in many verses in the bible in different books, not only in first corinthians and acts
You explain things so clearly :) thank you John, God bless you!
Amen and Awomen
My life is now complete. My friend kept saying speaking in tongues just comes naturaly, which I did not buy it.
In the first days of the church people spoke in tongues or Languages. This kick started the church. The people were able to go out into other lands and tell the good news of Jesus in THEIR own language.
There is much controversy of this subject. Just hold fast to the word of God and the Holy Spirit will lead you.
This for this information.
good question
Keep up the good work, brother.
hi there, i've been trying to speak in tongues for several weeks/months with no success. My pastor says just speak in groans and tones until the words come out. So far its only lal lalalalala. but no tongues... Any suggestions? Thanks and stay blessed!
+Rajiv Jadhav Seek the Holy Spirit Himself. He is real! Or have Spirit filled people lay hands on you. Don't give up! One of my friends got the gift in their sleep. Another while taking a shower. Seek and you will find. Ask and it will be given. Knock, and the door will be opened.
Ever sense the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit is available to anyone who asks. Just ask the Lord to baptize you in the Holy spirit and believe that you will recieve.that is the key, BELIEVE just like you did when you were saved with faith like a child. when you speak in tongues it may come out spontaneously. I know people who have had that experience. personally I had to open my mouth and speak out in faith. my mouth didn't move by itself. If you do what I have said and recieve the Holy spirit please reply. that would mean so much to me.
I don't think it is uncommon to start out with one or two syllables like that.you may have already recieved but pray and ask God if I'm correct.ive heard some people say their prayer language consists of few syllables.
When I speak in tongues, it doesn't sound exactly like a language, but a gibberish and uncontrolled movements of lips, teeth and tongue with the sch- sound in the beginning of the speech after I stop to catch my breath. I notice that the pattern is quite different each time I speak. There was a long period that I considered myself a non-believer, but I was still able to speak in tongues. Is this considered normal? When you think that you don't believe, what God blessed you with still remains?
1Corinth 14:5 Please note if I said I would that all were women or all were millionaires (do all become women or millionaires), we are never commanded or instructed to speak in tongues. Did the people at Pentecost go to classes to learn the Gift.
Please could you give me 5 reasons for Pentecost and what was the reason God gave tongues.
Does the bible not say we are all the eye or the foot, Corinthians says not all SPEAK in tongues so why do you want to get baby Christians that do not know the word to allow evil spirits in maybe.
Seriously how many times did Pentecost happen in Acts?
WHO IS TONGUES FOR ? UNBELIEVER, WHY TRY MAKE BELIEVERS SPEAK IN TONGUES AS ITS NOT A SIGN FOR THEM.
very good sir!
can i mimic someone else's tongues until i get it on my own?
But keep praying and desiring to speak in tongues and have faith u already have it. Gods word says we can't serve him without faith
Speaking in tongues is a known language, period!
