There is one great and powerful gift that God has given to the New Testament Church; unfortunately, many take it for granted. That gift is the Holy Spirit and especially, speaking in tongues. The Bible says that when you speak in tongues, it is the Holy Spirit praying for you.

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
Romans 8:26

The Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you. You can be sure that He will pray the right prayers and they will all be answered because He is the Spirit of God Himself who will bring the answers to you. The gift of the Holy Spirit is such a powerful one!

Imagine that you need a job in a big company and the owner sends his only son to help you. The son meets you, becomes your friend, then introduces you to another relative who helps you to write the application letter. Also, the only people who will sit at the panel where your application for this job is to be reviewed are the owner of the company, his son and this relative of theirs. I am sure you know already that you would get the job.

God is the owner of this big company and He is the one who sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son who becomes your friend when you get born again. The Holy Spirit is the family member the Son introduces to you and even places inside you. Speaking in tongues is the Holy Spirit writing your request to God for you. You can now see why you should speak in tongues more often.

If you speak in tongues for at least one hour every day, your life will be smoother than if you only speak in tongues once in a while. There is a lot happening in the spirit realm that you don’t know. The Holy Spirit however, knows all things and will say the right prayers through you when you speak in tongues. The Holy Spirit in you helps you pray in tongues to navigate around dangers and optimise opportunities in your future that you don’t know about yet. Speaking in tongues is a powerful gift; use it.
Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye.

It's really shameful that the early church didn't need such teachings about tongues, but were able to do much more with speaking in tongues than all of today's church despite being much fewer in number.

Such teachings are unnecessary when people uphold and keep the teachings of Jesus as the early church did, because the Holy Spirit would definitely confirm the Word with signs, including spoken tongues, as He did in those days.

It's only when people hear but don't keep the Word of God, that they'd start having to teach them how to speak or when to speak in tongues which ordinarily should be the job of the Holy Spirit.

That's what led to rise of fake tongues in the church.

The focus should be on keeping the Word of God not speaking in tongues.

If the former was taken care of, speaking in tongues with the utterance of the Spirit would become inevitable and only a matter of time.

God bless.

Ok

Did Jesus ever spoke in tongue?
