12 Benefits Of Praying In Tongues by judedwriter(m): 4:17pm On Sep 01, 2019
Romans 8:26 New International Version (NIV)

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

When we pray in tongues it is actually the Holy Spirit interceding for us. I have been praying in tongues for awhile and here are 12 benefits i have realised from this glorious spiritual exercise:


1. Praying in tongues strengthens your spirit. It empowers your spirit to do exploits like Jesus.

2. Praying in tongues causes your spirit to grow to maturity. You become more like Jesus if you pray more in tongues.

3. Praying in tongues delivers you from stangnacy, demonic prisons , limitations and cages. It causes you to progress well in life.

4. Praying in tongues makes you perform at your very best. The Holy Spirit energizes your gifts and talents 100%.

5. Praying in tongues stops the attacks of the enemy in advance before they can be launched.

6. Praying in tongues causes you to have a deeper love for the Lord and for people.

7. Praying in tongues can help you understand and fulfill your purpose and destiny from God.

8. Praying in tongues will cause the miraculous and testimonies to be common in your life.

9. Praying in tongues brings rest and refreshing to your soul.

10. Praying in tongues fills your life with comfort, joy and peace of the Holy Spirit.

11. Praying in tongues helps you receive God's very best blessings and gifts for your life.

12. Praying in tongues fills you with boldness. You will become fearless.

It would have been better if you addressed this issue in a more polite manner sis.

Don't be deceived by what modern theologians have been preaching and teaching.
Praying in the Spirit IS NOT the same as praying in tongues!.

In all honesty, there's nothing like praying or singing in the tongues in the Holy Bible.

That you're getting "positive results" after your "praying in tongues" don't negate it that it's not biblical.

Don't forget the Bible said the devil can come as an Angel of light.

He carted away two-thirds of angels in Heaven.
And he's still doing so to te Christendom today.

I used to be someone like you UNTIL I got proper and full teachings (everything in the Bible) not some books wrote by any "spiritual man or woman" by them having "personal encounter from God or as the holy spirit revealed it to them" as they usually claim.

Everything we need from here to Glory is in the Bible.
We just need to "search the scriptures"
Not to "research"

Now, you can't search what you already know.
You search what you don't know.
That's just it sis.

I'm a believer of Jesus Christ, and I'm so sure you'll claim such too! And praise God for you & I.

If you don't mind, we can discuss further on it through mails.

May His coming gladen pur hearts.

This "speaking in tongues" of a thing has been abused today. A particular "fire prayer" branded church actually teach that it's a must to speak in tongue to show you're baptised in the Holy Ghost. How true is that?
Re: 12 Benefits Of Praying In Tongues by Circuit3: 12:46am On Sep 03, 2019
What is the purpose of speaking in tongues you do not know the meaning? Stop deceiving yourselves.

You speak in tongues(Saying Gibberish) that even you cannot say its the meaning, how does that help you? Until you know the meaning of what you are saying and someone else not related to you can go in spirit to translate what you are saying, my brother and sister, you are wasting your time.

Even the book of 1 Corinthians says that of what purpose is speaking in tongues when no one understand what you are saying? (means noise making)

Yes. The evidence that you are baptised in the Holy Spirit is the ability to speak or pray in tongues.

That bible verse renders everything you're saying above and below useless. Don't let Satan fool you, take advantage of it and watch your spiritual life enters the Next Level. Sit down, humble yourself and let the word penetrate your soul.

So, tell me where it mentioned singing in "tongues" sir.

That's the problem at hand sir.

We know where Apostle Paul wrote "tongues" and we know where he wrote "sing with my spirit".

So, tell me whether he didn't know what he was writing or you'll tell me he actually meant " tongues" while writing "spirit".

The Bible is of no private interpretation, remember.

God bless you sir.
Thanks for the scripture.
To be spiritual is to be scriptural.

We definitely know what the tongue mean in the book of Acts of the apostle after the were filled with the Holy Ghost.
The Bible said they spoke in tongues and the people that was there was "hearing it in their own various languages".
Not all these foolish nonsense that people do all around and call it whatever they like.

Do you even know Paul said if there'll be speaking in tongues and there's no interpretation to it, that the new comers in church will say everyone is mad?

For you to speak in tongues, there must be interpretation sir!.

God bless you.

Shalom.

You said and I quote, "There's no such a thing as "praying or singing in tongues" in the Holy Bible."

So all i did was to point to you where it says in the bible "praying in tongues". Meaning, you were wrong in the first place. For me to continue this conversation with you, you have to admit that there is actually praying in tongues in the bible from there I will break it down for you.

If you read in context you will see clearly that praying in the spirit and praying in tongues were used interchangeably. Same goes for singing in the spirit. This is simple common sense

1Co 14:15 — 1Co 14:17
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

Hmmn, you people make a mockery of Christianity because you have refused to allow the Holy Spirit minister to you when you study the Bible or you've even refused to study your Bible at all.
What happened in Acts 2 was a significant event which marked the beginning of the New Testament - the coming of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Verse 4 says they were filled (NOT BAPTIZED) and they spoke in other languages as enabled by the Spirit. The languages they spoke were well understood by the people (foreigners) around them, they didn't speak gibberish like what we hear people utter nowadays in the name of "speaking in tongues".
Everything that happened that day was significant (1 Corinthians 14:22) and doesn't mean anyone who receives the Holy Spirit MUST act likewise afterwards. The gift of speaking in tongues like other spiritual gifts is not for everyone (1 Corinthians 12:10). Speaking in spiritual language (which no one but the Spirit understands) shouldn't be done in a congregation (1 Corinthians 14:2) but speaking in other known languages can be done in a gathering but one at a time and there must be an interpreter (1 Corinthians 14:27,28), NOT THE TYPE OF SENSELESS CONFUSION THAT WE SEE IN TODAY'S CHURCHES.
