For ALL:


Act 2:4 "And they were ALL filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the spirit gave them utterance"


Acts 2:39 "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to ALL that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call"

Act 10:44-46"While Peter yet spake these words, Holy Ghost fell on ALL them which heard the word"
45"And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost"
46" For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter"

Acts 19:6-7 "And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. "
7"And ALL the men were twelve"

Now Jesus confirmed it here Mark 16:17
"And these signs shall follow them that believe, in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; "


Let's consider this particular unanswered questions by

Paul the Apostle 1 Corinthians 12:30 "Have all the gifts of healing? DO ALL SPEAK IN TONGUES? do all interpret? "

These mean all do not have all the gifts but at the same time believers can attain to any of all these.

This verse of the scripture admonishes us to grow in grace 2 Peter 3:18a" But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ "

The gospel is given to us in seed-form, if it is watered with the cooperation of the believer, he grows into full maturity.

The same paul the Apostle after admonishing us to be cautious with the way we speak in tongues now said:
1 Corinthians 14:39"Wherefore,brethren,covet to prophesy, and FORBID NOT to speak with tongues "


This our generation is yet to tap into all the resources in Holy Ghost.
A man of God saw a vision of the Liberia war before the war started, he warned them but they replied the man of God that the gate of shall not prevail against the Church.

God also told the man of God that there is bankruptcy of prayer in the Church today.

Why?
The Church has neglected the purpose of the Holy Ghost which is to help our infirmities to pray with groaning which cannot be uttered.

Without the Holy Ghost bursting out with tongues from our belly, our prayer life will be nothing to write home about.

Let's start with the why's

1. Speaking in tongues will enable you to have a close relationship with God Almighty.

2.It will turn you to prayer machine.

3.It pushes you or drive you to pray more.

4. Speaking in tongues is mysterious way of serving God.

Note: My reply is for correction purposes only.


Inasmuch as speaking in tongues is good, being a gift from the Holy Spirit,
we should realise that the prayers that are actually of much effect spiritually are prayers that are prayed from/in the spirit,
the reason speaking in tongues isn't necessarily praying in the spirit, is spiritual prayers are prayers that are prayed according to the will of God. James chapter 4 talks about that.

So if in a case where a Christian is praying and the way he/she is led to pray is via his/her words, then such prayers should be prayed as such AnD vice versa.

And also praying with your words are also of much effect, an example is in the lives of some foremost revivalists who weren't really able to tap into the holy spirit's provision of tongues but we're baptised in the Holy Spirit nonetheless, were able to explore realities in prayer and there were physical manifestations of their prayers an example is Charles.G. Finney, Billy Graham, e. T. C.

21. It offers help to control your tongue.

22. It is a way of ministering to yourself, to the Lord and to others.

23.By speaking in tongues, it is like dialing 911 to the throne of God.

25. it will enable you to prophecy good things about your life.

26. God will start leading you.

27. Your spirit receive power to dominate your flesh.

28. Your spiritual battery is charged.

29.it is calling upon the power of God.

30. It is a way of knowing the mind of God.

When scriptures are saying speaking in tongues, it refers to two things :
1. It may be speaking in other languages order than your own mother tongue as seen in Act 2:4, like hausa man who has never spoken yoruba suddenly heared speaking yoruba.
2. It may be speaking incantations like rokoskebolookukusket!!! or whatever rubbish that does not make sense to the hearing of humans as seen in 1 cor 12:13, but there must be interpretation, otherwise it's absolutely non sense to the holy spirit.

What is absolutely nonsense is what and all that 50 ridiculous and/or ill-advised bulldust God2man2again posted up there

God2man2again and others of his ilk have difficulty in the praying department, so they have to invent this fake gift of speaking in tongues, a reminiscence and variant of "Ọfọ̀ Asẹ" and/or "Ògèdè". They fail to recognise that the real gift of speaking in tongues, is so cool, simple and straightforward, if you have it, you have it, and if you dont, you dont, as not all speak in tongues and so, it doesnt need to be faked, turned on its head and into something else, and like I always and earlier numerously have said, turn it into glorified "ògèdè and/or ọfọ̀" and/or incantation recitations

The gift of speaking in tongue, actually is a sign for unbelievers and/or the unbelieving. The three times, the gift of speaking of tongues was recorded in the Bible, it, on each ocassion happened, to dispel unbelief and/or convert the unbelieving. No one has to believe me on this just on face value, not even God2man2again, as he can verify all what I've said about this from the Bible

Now the thing is, people, especially Africans like God2man2again, because of being accustomed to the culture of "ògèdè and/or ọfọ̀" an/or reciting incantations, are propelled to mix their own ideas and understanding, against the teachings of the Bible and what the Bible actually is saying. They often need a crutch to lean on, so this make-believe PRAY in tongues charade has to be discovered. It is among the last bastion of ATR and/or pagan mentality that needs to be shrugged off

God understands all tongues, so it doesn't matter to God, what earthly tongue anybody chooses to speak in. This thing is so simple and straightforward but guys, like God2man2again, just have just to turn the gift on its head and into something else, like I earlier said into glorified "ògèdè and/or ọfọ̀" or incantations with some ill-informed 50+ve Whys You Must Speak In Tongue

The very first one here got me laughing. You think that God gives you anything so you can have a measure of "Control" over any other thing, including your own tongue?

The gift of tongue is not under your control, nor is it for you to control or use of your own will.
