temilolaoluwa: Female. I do speak in tongues and i can say that its great speaking in tongues. This the work of the holyspirit and so you need to be baptised with the holyghost before u can do this. The holyspirit grants you the power to speak in tongues . And there is one thing have learned in speaking in tongues is that it takes me deep in the spirit, it tells me type of prayer i need to pray, it tells me what to do, it reavels deep secrets no one knows and above all it brings me closer to God. About prophecy. Its still the holyspirit that does this. Sometimes it speaks directly through our mouth ,through the bible, through visions. Note! Everybody go in the spirit, but it's the level at which we are led that determines how far we go in the spirit. It is what the holy spirit shows us that we see. The choice also is also in our hands. If we choose to ignore the holyspirit, it wont speak to us. But if we accept him and do what he asks us to do, he will speak to us the more. I've experienced both situations. I regret it a lot when i don't do what he ask me to do, and i gain a lot by doing what he ask me to do. For example he told to write blogs about the experiences i've had and i think i'm loving it. I hope i've answered your questions.

pls, mail me at fxbayo@yahoo.com, i have private discussion with you, i guess maybe it's because of me that the Holy Spirit told you to share this experience in this forum, serious! Pls, it's important! Pls, we need to talk together.

Temilolaoluwa, Can i ask you a few questions? Are you a male or a female? Are you now able to speak in tongue and how do you feel when you speak in tongue? Do you prophesy(as in gbe emi i.e go in spirit?) If yes, whay is your feeling when you do that. Please, kindly answer these questions after which i will tell you my experiences - very lenthy.
Thank you.

BBDelta:
AT POSTER, For the first time on Nairaland, I took my time to read every comment on a topic, Suprise! really at myself. I am Christian and manifest the Presence of the HolySpirit in My Life through the Speaking of Tongues. Now, Tongues are unknown Languages in form of a spiritual tool which is release from Heaven from the HolySpirit on a born again Christian (A Person who accepts Jesus Christ a His Lord and personal Saviour, through which the Human Nature of Sin is eradicated from His Life) for effective communion with God Almighty without the devil acknowledging that communication or communion and keeping the devil totally blank of the communication with God.

Now some body would ask does the devil hear what I say when I pray to God? The answer is YES, but when you pray in tongues or worship Him in Spirit (i.e pray in the spirit, without muttering words not speaking in tongues this time) at time when you have totally dedicated your spirit to God, the devil does not hear what you say to God.

Now Like every Good tool at our disposal for Worshipping God, there is ABUSE, and most of this ABUSES comes as a result of lack of proper understanding of WHAT the tool is meant for, or HOW the tool is to be use.

There are things (Places, times, Instrument & Equipment, Process or Acts) which AID a particular person to have effective communication or communion with God like Churches, Songs, Messages, Night-time, quite places, mountains, desert, culture, way of life of similar people and so many to mention as they changes and unfold as life itself metamorphoses and diversifies. Now the effectiveness of this tool does not depend on any of this above mention things or class of thing. If a person have an understanding or ideology that the Effective of this tool lays on this aids, THAT IS THE FIRST AND MAJOR ABUSE…………,  an anything built on a wrong foundation is bound to crumble Good or Bad. Now the second ABUSE IS WHAT TONGUES IS MEANT TO DO, Tongues is not meant to show a measure of Spiritual sensitivity or strength, infact, I see Majority of  Nairalanders just like the Majority of Christians out there say, it a way to show your wife is very spiritual WRONG!!!!!. The evaluation of spirituality or service to God or communion to God cannot be determine by any activity on earth from the perspective of any man (but God) or determine by any man, no matter who you are, you can not say this man has the fear of God, you can only have a myopic evaluation, which you are entitled to. Most men of God (Revs, Bishops, Pst etc) have been guilty of this and it has affected the mentality of many including YOU, (sorry to point it out so bluntly, because you admit that “the whole thing looks very strange to me, she herself has become a strange person to me, it scares me whenever she starts all those syllables of speaking in unknown tongues, even at some points, she goes in spirit.”

My personal experience is this, two days ago, I stopped my wife from praying at night, you maybe surprise, I noticed my wife wakes up at 12:00 noon exactly, I mean exactly to pray at for exactly 2hours nothing less and nothing more, I love been meticulous but that was kind of strange, and the understand made me to understand that she have an iota of conclusion that this aids of Night-time and time duration has an effect on the effectiveness of the prayer. WRONG!!!! Secondly, I have been educating her on to how have a positive perspective on attacking and solving situation, she grew up in CAC, and the believe is there are witches that flies between 12:00 and 2:00pm, so that is the best time to hack them down WRONG AGAIN!!!!.

Now from my perspective in a home (husband, wife and children) the Husband is the Head and must do every thing within his capacity to remain the head but not hindering the growth of other members because you want to be the head. You are suppose to be the Spiritual Head of that Family, So you need to have a deep understanding about all spiritual activities including the ones you do not believe in, I have often said if my any mean I married a Muslim, before she would no what is happening I would have finish and had a proper and superior understanding of the Quran, and guide her properly to become a good Muslim or  if she accepts to become a Christian, I will guide her adequately, (Although, the quest for this knowledge is why you are putting up this question, you need more than just asking Nairalanders, run searches, read books and let her be surprise at the depth of your knowledge, she will listen to you).

So, You must really do some serious work and study on what this Tongues is? And what it is used for, then study her and teach her if you think she has an abuse of it.

My Finally Words, It a Good tool she has got there, but all the conditions above must be meet and you will enjoy yourselves, but pulling her away from the Church is not the solution, She is not speaking in tongues because she attends the Church NO, infact, if I am with this type of zeal as soon as I attend the Baptist, as soon as it is prayer time, I will caught off in tongues and will really be happy, I had a time to communicate to God in Tongues, since you may probable have stop her from praying in tongues in the House, and you will really not like to be beside her, with the eyes of people who do not believe or understands what she is doing

Just one thing, I don’t understand what you mean by prophesying in tongues?


Cheers Bro.

What i mean by saying 'prophesying in tongue' is when she goes in spirit' like worshippers from Cherubim & Seraphim.
Victor, sincerely, i must confess that ur comment and advice gives me peace and also shows me a direction. You can imagine quite a lot of posters have started calling me so many names. If i want to act so wickedly, i need not informing anyone for advice, at least i love my wife so much. It's just the fear and apprehension i feel that makes me seek people's opinion. I am not wicked and am not an Anti Christ as well. But i used to hear so many controversies about this doctrine of 'tongue speaking' so many times. Some say the gift is totally gone,

I thank you all for all ur advice. However, some still were bent on insulting me and my opinion. I feel and i believe i strongly need a help, that is why i put across this and as such, u need to provide a help as i rightly said in a very courteous and respectful manner not to be calling me Anti-Christ or devil or start insulting my personality. Please, i welcome those who have helpful advice not the other way.
Thank you

Mutter, i really thank you for your very matured reply. Though in some measure, i must confess that many a time i feel intimidated by her present level spiritually, but i feel she leaves the tongue speaking church - Winners - to my Church, Baptist where such doctrine is not popular. Also, i have heard so many arguments against speaking in tongues too, whereby i was told those who practise such thing are possessed with familiar spirit. How about that?

My wife is no more lively in the house again but always very moody and dull. Her interest in sex with has drastically reduced. I don't find great excuitement in her again and in fact, i am seeing a different person in my house already and i am not confortable about that at all. Is that it's used to be?

Hello guys,
Having attended Baptism of Holy Spirit Class at Winners Chapel, my wife has possesed the spirit of speaking in tongues and even prophesying in tonges too since October 2011 but i do not want that at all - the whole thing looks very strange to me, she herself has become a strange person to me, it scares me whenever she starts all those syllables of speaking in unknown tongues, even at some points, she goes in spirit.
As for me, I DON'T WANT ALL OF THESE AT ALL. HOW CAN SHE DO AWAY WITH ALL THAT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IT AT ALL. Since she got that 'supposedly spirit of tongues' , i have never been sexually attracted to her again, our home has changed from being lively, bubbling to very moody one - is that how holy spirit works? Also, my haome has been experiencing all forms of unrest or the other between myself and her.  Also, i am scared of loosing her to prophetic ministry.
I am a Baptist by denomination but she is a Winner. Because of this, i have instructed her to leave the church and start coming to my own church.
Please house, what is ur opinion. I want bthat spirit to leave her. Please, i don't want any abusive statement, be polite in ur answer.
Thank you.
