It's just another incantation to copycat what they felt the real speaking in tongues denoted. It wasn't done the way it is done today.

if the goal was only to spread the news...

How do you now explain the below verse.?

For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.

"...speak a language, then God's holy spirit ensured it was understood." I explained already. Plus your confusion is from the translation of the Bible you use. Acts 2:4-8 conveys my point.


Also, 1 Corinthians 13:8 explains that the gift of speaking in tongues has ended. Then what are they still practising?

Pray for hours?


What would you be saying for hours? Or repeating what was said earlier to make the prayer long to score holy points are allowed? Even Jesus taught a short prayer...the model prayer called the Lord's Prayer popularly known as the "Our Father." He taught his disciples how easy and non-repetitive of what to pray about when they asked to be taught. According to the Bible, God already knows your needs even before you ask...na only you know wetin you go dey talk for hours.

Or you dey "speak in tongues?"

Only that the speaking in tongues you were taught...the utterances of unintelligible words ..are unbiblical, blasphemous, and wrong.

It's just another incantation to copycat what they felt the real speaking in tongues denoted. It wasn't done the way it is done today. Then, those with the spirit spoke just a language and the spirit ensured those from different tribes understood, and the goal was to spread the news of God not taking nonsense (that's to say, for example, in a gathering of a Russian, Chinese, Hindu, Japanese, German, Italian etc., the preacher assisted by the holy spirit only spoke a language and everyone understood even if they never learnt the language)...not some rashidi yekini yamaha tundra susuki done by your fake pastors.

I'm teaching you pure theology for free...but your pastors tithe you for the false ones that enrich them.

100% correct. BUT we humans are very superstitious. Infact we can't do without it.
In reality the entire consequence of how you crossed over completely disappears by end of New Year's day!

You are actually BIBLICALLY correct. But what SOME people discovered in REAL LIFE is that praying for hours makes THEM feel good, and that praying in tongues (mindlessly uttering or shouting unintelligible words) is actually cathartic

Anyways




Praying for Hours means repetition,except you were interceding for so many people or praying a prayer of Assurance.

I can say to a high level of correctness that Jesus interceded for many people and not really himself,that was why he stayed up for hours.
He told Peter that the Devil had asked that he be tempted but "I have prayed for you"


Also!

A prayer of Assurance of the promises of God and of who you are in God can also take a lot of time like that.
A Prayer of Assurance is a Prayer of Faith which will totally work Everytime because of Hebrews 11 "Faith is the assurance of things not yet seen"
You can assure yourself enough to the point of making it visible.
Tho this is not about repeating the same thing also.


If You find yourself praying against Enemies,you are making a Terrible mistake.
You have to first understand and totally believe that you are in the secret place of the most high.It is no longer you that lives but Christ lives in you.God Almighty is the lord your God, and he shall fight your battles for you and you shall hold your peace.(He is still going to fight for you with love)


Praying against enemies directly goes against What Jesus commanded.
It's a direct waste of time.

If you prayed against Enemies for 7days,you have only wasted 7days of your life.
Jesus wants the person you tag as "enemy" to be saved also.
He is literally on your side and the side of the "enemy".
The only person that can be called enemy is Satan and he has already been defeated.


To everyone reading,

The real way to go into the presence of God is by reading the Bible.
The only way to very pleasing to God is to love everyone.
The only way to manifest the power and Glory of God is to have the heart of God.
The heart of God is described in the ways of Jesus that he has given us to follow
They are all in Luke 6

No be every day u go dey pray short prayers...
Kingju:
Mr pure theology, when Jesus went to pray and came back to his disciples sleeping, was that also a short prayer? Una go just open mouth dey talk without thinking
We need to understand the main motives behind that particular long prayer of Jesus. He wanted the cup to pass from him, but that was not the will of His Father. I hope you understand such impossibility. If what Jesus Christ wanted was in line with the will of God, He wouldn't have prayed for so long. At the end of that long prayer, what did Jesus say? 👇
“My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

You're 100% right! But MOST followers of the god of men will argue deny and get mad at you for exposing their "role models" or so called spiritual papas!
The Bible is very explicit about prayers and speaking with tongues yet religious people love the "mystery" the false preachers portray as though they are doing something true!
Any objective reader of the Bible will understand clearly and follow the simple logical truth!

You must be praying in tongues to be able to pray 🙏 for hours. Otherwise it will be repetition of words.

How I Crossed Over Into New Year 2025

I crossed over into 2025 talking with my Heavenly Father.

It wasn't pre-planned because it was the cross over night but just doing something I often did every other day.

In fact I actually hoped to finish my prayer before midnight but sadly couldn't meet up because I was already lagging way behind in my daily dose of prayer despite having prayed for hours, so it while I was yet on it trying finish my prayer, I heard the clock chime on the hour to my chagrin.

I had no choice though but to continue til I had prayed to my satisfaction and by the time I was through it was already past 1 am.

So that was how I crossed over into the new year 2025 just as I often did every other new day.

Talking to my heavenly Father.

God bless.
May your secret and open prayers be accepted in Jesus name.
