BAPTISM of the HOLY SPIRIT can result in
Speaking in Tongues
Isaiah 28:11-12 KJV With (through our)
stammering lips and another tongue (heavenly
language)
will He speak to this people. To whom He said, "This
rest
(interior peace) wherewith
you may cause the weary
to rest;
this is the refreshing;
yet,
they would not hear
(listen/accept/believe/apply to
their circumstances)."
Matthew 3:7,11-12 - When he saw many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees coming
to where he was baptizing,
he said to them, "...I baptize
you with water for repentance,
but after me will come One who is more
powerful than I,
Whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Mark 16:17These signs shall follow them
that BELIEVE. In My name shall they cast out devils.
They shall
speak with new tongues. (Tonguesis our praying out loud in a
language,
personally unknown to us, and is often a form of praise)
Luke 3:16-17 - "I
(John the Baptist) am
baptizing you with water, but there is One to come
Who is mightier than
I...He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire." Luke 11:13 - "If
you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how
much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who
ASK Him,"
(says Jesus). Luke 12:49 -
"I have come to cast fire on
the earth and would (prefer) that it were already
kindled."
John 1:3 - "Upon whom you see the
Spirit descending, and remaining on Him;
this is He who baptizeswith the Holy
Spirit." John 14:17 - The (Holy)
Sprit dwells with you (water baptism) and will be in you
(fire baptism). John 20:19-23 -
19
So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week,
and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews,
(Resurrected) Jesus came and stood in their midst and SAID to them, “Peace
be with you.” 20
When He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side.
The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21
So Jesus SAID (spoke) to them again,
“Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I
also send you.” 22
When He had said
this,
He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive Holy
Spirit."
23 “If
you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them;
if you retain the sins of any,
they have been retained.”
[Yeshua SPOKE (created/seeded) Holy Spirit into human experience/existence
(conception),
but the visible manifestation (birth) seems to have appeared later
at Jewish feast of Pentecost 50 days after Jewish feast of Passover.]
Acts 1:4-5,8 - On one occasion, while
He (Jesus) was eating with them (the disciples),
He gave them this command, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait
for the gift My Father promised,
which you have heard Me speak about. For
John baptized with water, but in a few days you
will be
baptized with
the Holy Spirit." You will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be
My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the
earth." Acts 2:1-4 - When the day of Pentecost
came, they (120 believers) were all together in one place.
Suddenly a sound like the
blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house
where they
were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that
separated and came to
rest on each of them. All of them were filled
with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues as the Spirit
enabled them.
(Even Pope John Paul II prays in tongues.
www.sign.org/article.phtml?idnum=16) Acts 2:38-39 - Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ
for
the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the
Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you
and your children and for all who are far off,
for all whom the Lord our God will call." Acts 8:14-17 - 14When the apostles in
Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God
(Jesus
as Messiah), they sent Peter and
John to them.
15When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might
receive the Holy Spirit,
16because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any
of them;
they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17Then Peter and John placed their hands on them and they received the Holy
Spirit (baptism). Acts 8:13-17 TPNT -
13Even Simon (a powerful practicer
of magic arts) himself believed and
after he was baptized
(with water for the repentance of sins), he was attaching himself
to Philip;
he was amazed when he saw that there were signs and great miracles.
14When the apostles in Jerusalem hard that the Samaritans welcomed the Word of
God,
they sent Peter and John to them,
15,who when they went down from
Jerusalem,
prayed on their behalf to the end that they would take the Holy
Spirit:
16for not yet was it fallen upon any of them, but they were only
being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17Then Peter and John
were laying hands on them and they were taking the Holy Spirit.
(evidenced by speaking in tongues. The skill of transference was coveted
by Simon noted in Acts 8:18-24)
[TPNT footnote. "The laying on of hands for the baptism comes from
this.
See Acts 19:6.
Notice that those prayed for (took) the Holy Spirit.
The baptism of the
Holy Spirit must be sought."]
(Not bought. Also consider that the 3 names of the Trinity may need to be
invoked, eg.
in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, not just in
the Messiah's name.) Acts 8:18-24 TPNT - 18.When
Simon saw that the Spirit was given by the
laying on of the hands of the
apostles (Peter and John), he offered them gifts
19saying, "Now you must immediately give me
this authority,
so that if I would lay hands on someone he would take the Holy
Spirit."
20Peter said to
him, "May your silver be destroyed with you, because you believe the gift of God
is acquired by money.
21Neither
is there for you any part nor any share in this message,
for your heart is not
right before God.
22Therefore
you must immediately repent from this evil of yours
and ask the Lord if He will
really forgive the thought of your heart for you,
23for
I see that you are in a gall of bitterness, extreme wickedness, and a bond of
sin."
24Simon said, "You must
right now ask the Lord about me in order that nothing which you said would come
upon me." Acts 9:17 TPNT Ananias left and entered the house; when he
placed his hands on him said,
"Saul (Paul), brother, the Lord has sent me,
Jesus the One Who set upon you on the way while you were coming,
so that you
would regain your sight AND you would be filled with the
Holy Spirit." Acts 10:38 KJV God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power,
Who went about doing good and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil,
for God was with Him. Acts 10:44-48 - 44While Peter was still
speaking these words,
the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.
45The circumcised (Jewish) believers who had come with Peter
were astonished
that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the
Gentiles,
46for they heard them speaking in tongues
and praising God. Then
Peter said,
47"Can anyone (deny) keep these people from being baptized with water?
They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have."
48So he ordered that
they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Then they asked Peter
to stay with them for a few days. Acts 19:1-7
1Paul took the road
through the interior and arrived at Ephesus.
There he found some disciples
2and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"
3So he said, "Then in what name
were you
(water) baptized (immersed)?"
"John's baptism,"
They replied, "No
we have not even
heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
4Paul said, "John's
(water) baptism was a baptism of repentance.
He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
5On hearing this, they were
(water) baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6When Paul placed his hands on them, Holy Spirit came on them,
and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
7There were about 12 men in all.
(Morford footnote, "The laying on of hands for immersion in the Holy Spirit
comes from" Acts 19:6.)
Romans 8:26-27 The (Holy)
Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know
what we are to pray for,
but the (Holy) Spirit Himself intercedes
for us with
groans (heartaches/tongues/voice/sounds/unknown languages)
that (known) words cannot express. He Who searches our hearts knows the
mind of the Spirit,
because the Spirit intercedes for the BELIEVERS in
accordance with God's will.
1st Corinthians 14:2 KJV - He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men,
but unto God, for no
man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
1st Corinthians 14:4 KJV He that speaketh in an unknown
tongue edifieth himself (spiritually).
1st Corinthians 14:13 KJV Let him that speak in an
unknown tongue

1st Corinthians 14:39 NIV Do not forbid to
speak with tongues. 1st Corinthians 14:14-15 14If I pray in an

15What
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. 1st Corinthians 14:22 KJV
Tongues are for a sign, not
to them that believe,
but to them that believe not.
2nd Corinthians 14:15 KJV
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

1st John 14:16-18 KJV - I will ask the
Father and He shall give you another comforter,
that He may abide with you fore
ever...I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you.

He has made My mouth like a sharp sword.

Baptism of Fire Commentary:
Reinhard Bonnke in Mighty Manifestations: The Gifts and Power of the Holy
Spirit. notes that John
baptized with water for the forgiveness of sins, but
that the resurrected Christ baptizes
with the fire of His Holy Spirit for
the power to do God's miraculous work in this generation.
In The Pentecostal Movement (1964) Nils Bloch Hoel MD
incorrectly says that tongue-speaking
is a psychological illness, and a
tongues-speaker is a subspecies.
It is such "theories" that
have harmed
the psychiatric industry and its patients.
His opinion is unscriptural and unGodly.
When we ask Jesus to baptize us with His Holy Spirit, we become equipped to
function as His son or daughter. Our switch is turned on to God, so that now at
last He can begin to operate through our infant legs and arms to accomplish His
will. Now we can begin, in baby steps, to resist evil and to
overcome the enemy of depression, suicide, bitterness, anger, rage, indignation,
despair, neediness, fear and all those
weights which try to overpower us. With the baptism in the Holy Spirit can come
the speaking in tongues. Father Hampsch has a very short but extremely
interesting video tape "Why You Should Pray in Tongues" which you might want to
look at.
www.claretiantapeministry.org
Both ancient Greek and modern Olympics runners carry a torch of
fire that is never extinguished. Another never extinguishable fire is the Holy Spirit.
It burns in our hearts and passions. It burns out diseases. Whether
as a parent, ministry or mentor, we can carry the torch to the hurting and to
the next generation. In ourselves we can allow the Holy Spirit to
burn out all that interferes with His amazing grace.
Praying, anointing with oil, & laying on of hands, all are
excellent, but it is the SPEAKING ALOUD of God's personal Words in scripture
that have the clout/power/audacity/supremacy to actualize sound into matter.
Physics has show this scientifically. Objects can materialize or disappear
to go through walls, based on this phenomena of sound in motion. Speaking
God's Words in ANY language will perform His Works. The human tongue is
God's 2 edged sword coming out of our (or His) mouth. Eureka.
Kat Kerr
www.revealingheaven.com mentors that Holy Spirit fire is both an
anointing we loose to burn up evil in us and others, but also holy healthy
healing laser surgery to both our soul and body. 2nd Holy Spirit fire
is a step/dimension beyond Holy Spirit baptism.

Never say that you are sanctified until you know it."

Speaking in tongues is the only SIGN indicated in scripture as evidence for the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is done by Jesus Christ the baptizer, having
arisen from the
dead and sitting at the right hand of God. "NOT everyone
who speaks in tongues has been
baptized in the Holy Spirit." There are
people who pretend/attempt to speak in tongues and
there are demonic spirits who
speak tongues or lies through individuals.

Brimm, Billye - Re: Smith Wigglesworth -
Chapter 25 The Blood and the Last Outpouring
https://nuggets4u.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/the-blood-and-the-glory.pdf
Here is Wigglesworth's account of what
happened from the time he boarded the train to return home to Bradford after
having received the baptism in the Holy Spirit at Boddy's place in Sunderland:1 The 1st thing I did was to telegraph to my home saying, 'I have received the
baptism in the Holy Ghost and have spoken in tongues.' On the train to my home
town, the devil began questioning, 'Are you going to take this to Bradford?' As
regards my feelings at the moment, I had nothing to take, but the just do not
live by feelings but by faith.
So I shouted out on the railroad coach to everybody's amazement, 'Yes, I'm
taking it.'
A great joy filled me as I made this declaration,
but somehow I knew from that
moment it would be a great fight all the time.
When I arrived home one of my sons said to me, 'Father, have you been speaking
in tongues?' I replied, 'Yes, George.' 'Then let's hear you,' he said...
My wife said to me, 'So you've been speaking with tongues, have you?' I replied,
'Yes.' 'Well,' she said, ;I want you to understand that I am as much baptized as
you are
and I don't speak in tongues.'
I saw that the contest was beginning right at home.
'I have been preaching for 20 years,' she continued, 'and you have sat beside me
on the platform, but on Sunday you will preach yourself, and I'll see what there
is in it.'
She kept her word. On Sunday she took a seat at the back of the building. We had
always sat together on the platform until that day. So the contest had begun
right in the church.
There were 3 steps up to the platform. As I went up those 3 steps the Lord
gave me the passage in Isaiah 61:1, 'The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;
because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings; unto the meek He hath
sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to them that are bound.'
I was no preacher, but hearing the voice of my Lord speaking those words to me,
I began. I cannot now remember what I said, but my wife was terribly disturbed.
The bench on which she sat would seat 9 people and she moved about on it until
she had sat on every part of it. Then she said in a voice that all around her
could hear,
'That's not my Smith, Lord; that's not my Smith!'
I was giving out the last hymn when the secretary of the mission stood up and
said,
'I want what our leader has received.'
The strange thing was that when he was about to sit down he missed his seat and
went right down on the floor. Then my oldest son arose and said he wanted what
his father had, and he, too, took his seat right down on the floor. In a short
while there were 11 people right on the floor of that mission. The strangest
thing was that they were all laughing in the Spirit and laughing at one another.
The Lord had really turned again the captivity of Zion, and the mouth of His
children was being filled with laughter according to the word
of the Lord in Psalm 126:1-2.
1Stanley Frodsham, Smith Wiggleswortb: Apostle of Faith (Gospel
Publishing House, Springfield, MO 65082.)
I believe we need to return singing about
the Blood. Real singing to give the Blood its place in our approach to God. Not
merely to singing just a token song in a service,
but to singing a while in honor of the Blood. The old-timers said that when they
sang about the Blood for a while 'a cleansing wave' seemed to sweep over them
preceding a wave of the Spirit in power. The Spirit answers to the Blood.
The Spirit of Glory must complete our preparation now for the Lord of Glory...
It won't be long now until we
complete the circle...We are about to return to the fullness
of the Glory of the Father's Presence. Oh! What a Planner! Oh! What a
Plan.
Thank God for the Blood and the Glory."
Brooks, Steven Working with Angelswww.stevenbrooks.org
Chapter 5 The Slipstream of Heaven
shares that Steven's praying in
tongues, results in God being able to do much more in and
through Steven than
He would or could ordinarily,
if Steven did not pray in tongues.
Chapter 7 shares how Steven received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking
in tongues.
"The Lord then said...'No one needed to pray for
Elisha to see; he lived in this realm on a
consistent basis.
This realm is
known as the slipstream of Heaven...It is a
heavenly flow that
you can merge into where the realm of the prophet
and seer
anointing becomes activated in
your life. In this place the deeper
mysteries of My Word are revealed to you.
In the slipstream,
your
spiritual eyesight becomes greatly illuminated and you move with much greater
ease in
your walk with Me.
I desire for all of My people to live in this
heavenly stream.'"
"One of the easiest and most refreshing ways to merge into the slipstream of
Heaven is by
praying in tongues for extended periods of time.
Even
if a person does not have a large block
of uninterrupted time available for
non-stop prayer,
a few minutes here or there can really
become a lot in the
course of an entire day...
I have enjoyed praying in tongues every day."
Burt, Arthur Around the World in 88 Yearswww.arthurburt.com
Chapter 12 Climb the Mountain
Although Arthur speaks in
tongues, he contends that one's fruit is more important than
the
ability to
speak in tongues - to both others and to God.
"It would be
incredibly unscriptural to
exalt somebody who speaks a few words in tongues
as being superior to a man like Billy
Graham who has preached the Gospel to more
people than any other human being in the
history of the world."
Chavda, Mahesh - The Hidden Power of Speaking in
Tongues - www.watchofthelord.com
A hidden treasure of a man; a great mentor.
Chapter 1 shows God healing a child
in a psychiatric section of a hospital,
through speaking in tongues!
Chapter 3 Opening the Promised Gift shares that speaking aloud in tongues
is THE hidden key to moving in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit
baptism, which is available to everyone who takes Jesus as his savior and is
baptized in water.
Chapter 7The Secret of Paul's Effectiveness,
says Mahesh, is speaking in tongues. Although Paul was a brilliant
scholar of scripture and theology, he failed to recognize Jesus as messiah,
until God knocked him off his horse. He was introduced to the Trinity and
subsequently had ongoing intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit, initiated
through speaking in tongues. It is the Holy Spirit Who personally taught
him all that the 12 disciples learned fellowshipping with Jesus! God's
wisdom is always imparted from His Spirit to our spirit. It is the mind
who accepts or rejects this spiritual wisdom.
The human mind is never able
to discern/learn Truth, nor is the human body ever good enough to work its way
into the graces of God. Christ did ALL at the cross. We either
accept or reject what Christ did and the Holy Spirit reveals to us
(especially as/when we pray in tongues). Praying in tongues permits
the Holy Spirit to do miracles in us and in others, while hiding His work from
Satan; the longer/more we pray in tongues, the greater/more complete will be His
work. Chavda, Mahesh

Chapter 6Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit anointing, power, and possibly baptism was found on a few
appointed/available men in the Old Testament,
(whereas God's baptism in the Holy Spirit became available to all men after
Jesus was glorified - John 7:39).
In the New Testament "the (initial) sign of
speaking with other tongues followed the experience of receiving the fullness of
the Holy Spirit...The 120 disciples' experience
of the Holy Spirit was
certain beyond question...Their representative, Peter, spoke,
'Having received
of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He hath shed forth this
(speaking in other languages/tongues),
which ye now see and hear (Acts 2:33).'"
"Peter was saying that there was objective proof of the experience of the
baptism
of the Holy Spirit...
If we don't have evident proof, if we continue the spiritual struggle,
not being sure whether we have received the Holy Spirit or not, how can we
become bold and powerful witnesses?"
(8 years later) in Samaria under the ministry of Philip, deliverances, miracles and
healings resulted in salvation and water baptism for the attendees.
However, no baptism in the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in tongues,
occurred until Peter and John ministered there for that purpose, with the
laying on of hands.
Approx 40 years after Pentecost Saul became Paul; in Damascus when Ananias
prayed
and laid hands on Paul, he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
"Salvation is received through regeneration by believing in the work of the Holy
Spirit,
but authority and power can only be received when a born-again
Christian receives the fullness of the Holy Spirit after believing."
"Speaking in tongues in itself is not the fullness of the Holy Spirit,
but as confirmed
in the Scriptures tongues is the common external sign that a
person has received
the fullness of the Holy Spirit."
"Speaking in tongues and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are NOT synonymous.
Some people today mistakenly say that the Assemblies of God teach this...Almost
without exception, as the final and most common sign, the recipients spoke with
other tongues."
Chapter 11 The Vocal Gifts - The
Gift of Tongues "When speaking in tongues is a sign,
the
tongues cease after the initial baptism of the Holy Spirit. In order
to continue speaking in tongues a person would subsequently receive the tongues
as a gift...
Those who have received the speaking in tongues as a gift can
speak in tongues anytime as they pray...By using this heavenly language the door
is opened for us to experience the deep revelations of God."
"Translation generally gives the word-for-word meaning of a foreign language,
while interpretation (of tongues typically) makes clear
the overall meaning of a foreign language." We should never regard tongues
interpretation as being equal with the Bible.
Clark, Randy - There Is More -
www.globalawakening.com
In chapter 13, Randy says that he received his prayer language/tongues in 1971,
but that it did not coincide with his receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit. He notes
that many
Pentecostals believe that speaking in tongues must come at the same time
one is
baptized in the Holy Spirit, as evidence of receiving the baptism in the Holy
Spirit; while many Evangelicals believe that the Holy Spirit baptism must come
at the time of conversion.
Randy notes that John Fletcher (John Wesley's associate)
taught that one can have many effusions/pouring outs of the Holy Spirit
(one at salvation/water baptism, one at confirmation/Holy Spirit
baptism/speaking in tongues, plus other effusions as God deems expedient).
Randy urges us to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit, resulting in (1) a
deepening relationship with Christ and (2) much fruit.
Copeland, Kenneth - Kenneth Copeland Ministries - John G Lake -
www.kcm.org
Many people believed that John Lake had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit
due to
his healing ministry, but in fact it was later that he received the
baptism in the Holy Sprit, and God confirmed it by announcing, "You are now
baptized in the Holy Spirit."
(Remember, God also made an announcement when the Holy Spirit descended
upon Jesus like a dove right after He was baptized in water by John the Baptist.)
Speaking in tongues is considered by many to be evidence of the
baptism of the Holy Spirit. In one of John Lake's services, a teenage girl
named Hilda Daniels chanted in a foreign tongue (which a fellow from East India
recognized). The message was an explanation of salvation. Lake shared
a similar experience where he spoke (witnessed of Jesus)
in a tongue (Italian of Naples, Italy - unknown to him)
for 15 minutes to a group of laborers at the train station in Logansport,
Indiana.
(Please take note/warning that some men not of God also
have this skill, but it is of the unholy spirit!)

Chapter 4 Peter Faith or Abraham Faith "Negative thoughts destroy
faith.
When you allow yourself to think the, they take root. Capture
those negative thoughts
and pull them out immediately, praying in tongues.
All devils have to leave your mind alone as long as you pray in tongues, because
you are praying for the mind of Christ."
DeGrandis, Father Robert in The Ten Commandments of Prayer
recommends that we pray in tongues to allow the Holy Spirit to minister to the
root cause (such as deep emotional problems) of physical ailments.
Any one who has been baptized in the Holy Spirit can pray for himself or for
another this way, using tongues (another language; sometimes called
the language
of angels; a second known language, but unknown to the speaker). Father
warns us regarding praying, in any capacity, including tongues, to be persistent
and not
to quit: Life, marriage, as well as the baptism in the Holy Spirit
has a honeymoon period. The honeymoon always ends, at least for awhile.
Then comes the school of hard knocks, such as Moses and his nation encountered
in the desert. In the desert of life we experience growing pains.
We
finally get enlightenment. Then the emotional/maturity cycle begins again.
Eckhardt, John -

"Praying in tongues keep us built up and
edified that we may be strong in the Lord
and the power of His might (1 Corinthians 14:4; Jude 20; Ephesians 6:10-12).
Tongues are needed to successfully wrestle against the powers of darkness.
Speaking in tongues during deliverance sessions irritates and weakens demon
spirits.
There is also a demon spirit named False Tongues that counterfeits the
genuine manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Jesus cast out demon spirits by
the Holy Spirit.
Through the Holy Spirit and tongues, we can drive out evil spirits."
Ferrell, L Emerson -
The Supernatural Believing the Consciousness of Christ -
www.voiceofthelight.com - Chapter 3 Believing Is the
Substance of Our Reality "Many
people believe and even say that speaking in tongues is the evidence of being 'filled' with the Holy Spirit. Nothing can be further from the
truth. Speaking in an unknown tongue is a gift...Now, is it
possible for someone filled to capacity with the
Holy Spirit
to
sin?...No...The...Holy" Spirit's "purpose for leading Jesus into the wilderness
was to complete His total consecration that He began at the river Jordan... Speaking with tongues is a tool that the Lord will give to any who ask,
as an aid...for His occupation." Ferrell, L. Emerson -
Immersed in Him -
www.voiceofthelight.com also introductory video -http://www.voiceofthelight.com/ VOTLM2009/ImmerseInHim/ImmersedInHIMFirstChapter.pdf
Emerson gives his personal testimony + his understanding that there needs to
be 3
water immersions (baptisms), in the name of the Father, the Son, AND
the Holy Spirit.
(The 3rd seems to be for the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
Who empowers us to be useful to the Trinity and imparts both spiritual gifts and
spiritual fruit enabling us to raise the dead, heal, deliver and do miracles.
Emerson suggests that one's operation in these powers is the "sign" marking
one's passport into the Kingdom of God, rather than one's "speaking in tongues".
Jesus began His ministry immediately after His baptism by John. Jesus said
per Luke 4:21 and Isaiah 61:1-2, "TODAY this
scripture has been fulfilled in your ears.")
Garlock, HB & Ruthanne - Before We Kill and Eat
You - www.garlockministries.org
"I opened my mouth to speak a few words of their (tribal) language...and then it
happened. The Holy Spirit took complete control of my tongue and vocal
organs,
and from my lips poured a torrent of words that I had never
learned...
Since receiving the Holy Spirit (baptism) 10 years earlier,
I had
spoken in tongues many times,
but never under conditions like these."
Hagin, Kenneth E - Tongues
- Beyond the Upper Room -
www.rhema.org
Part 1, Chapter 5 How I Was Filled with the Holy Spirit Excellent.
Shares how NOT to rely on feelings.
Part 1, Chapter 6 God Will Visit Hungry Hearts
"The denominational pastor exclaimed, 'Is that what you Pentecostal
people call
the baptism in the Holy Ghost? Why, for the past 35
years, all my converts have
experienced that! We just call it "getting
sanctified"!'"
Part 1, Chapter 7 Guideline to Receiving the Holy Spirit
"A lot of folks miss it. They sit around waiting for the Holy Ghost
to do the talking...
The Holy Ghost is the One Who gives the utterance. But
it is not the Holy Ghost doing
the talking. There is a difference."
Acts 2:4 They were all filled with the Holy Ghost
and (they) began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (unction/urging/
prompting). Acts 10:46 They heard them (not Him/Holy Sprit)
speak
with tongues. 1st Corinthians 14:18 I (not the
Holy Spirit)speak with tongues more than ye all. Isaiah 28:11
With stammering lips and another tongue will he speak.
"Nothing in your life would keep you from being filled with the Holy Ghost.
You have no secret sin that would hinder you from receiving the Holy
Spirit...
There is no such thing
as a secret (personal sin) you don't know
about. (because)
The Holy Ghost or your own conscience will tell you. And it
your conscience doesn't tell
you anything, don't try to drag something
up!" (such as - on a psychiatrist's couch or in
a church confessional box
or in the middle of the night under darkness and heaviness)
(Postscript. Sometimes the Holy Spirit will reveal at a later date things
which He needs
to deal with, when we are more spiritually mature, such as
curses, ancestral sins,
sins committed by others while we were in the womb,
traumas, etc.)
"Learn how to answer (read aloud to) the devil with the Word if you're ever
going to amount to anything in the Lord! Someone might say, 'Why, I can't
rebuke the devil.
I'm scared of him!' But if that's what you're
saying, you've already let the devil take you captive. You've already
played into his hands, for the spirit of fear is of the enemy...
You can always
whip him with the Word!"
"It's the blood that made you worthy to receive the Holy Ghost. It isn't
anything you did. (or failed to do) It's the blood of Jesus that made you
a new creature...Don't let the devil or anyone else, including yourself, talk
you out of what God has already given you."
(Another mistake is one's mind attempting to filter/judge/listen
to/hear/comprehend if
the sound/words are authentic. One's mind needs to
be on Jesus and NOT on self/flesh. Critical self blocks the flow.
The more God conscious one is and the less SELF-conscious one is, the better,
the more open our hearts are to God and His workings.
Psychiatrists often label other's with "character disorders" of the
mind/behavior regarding the flesh. It may be that the degree of speaking
in tongues is a barometer of one's spiritual character/maturity/muscle, at least
for some Christians.
However, KE Hagin warns us NEVER to encourage those who are NOT born again
to
receive the baptism of the Holy spirit, lest they take in an unholy spirit;
for
Satan is a counterfeiter, who can provide one with demonic language!) Part 2 Chapter 10 A Supernatural Means of Speaking to God
"The Holy Spirit isn't the One praying. He is helping you pray by giving
you utterance in your spirit...Our (invisible) spirit MAN can pray apart from
our understanding." [One can whisper (speak under one's breath) prayers (pray/sing in tongues)
all day long while doing one's duties. Thank You
God for the power of Your
mouth, by which You created all visible and invisible things. Speech is
such a powerful and significant aspect of Your kingdom work. You gave
Lucifer charge of music, where sound/ears/hearing is imperative. Quantum
physics gives us a hint that all created matter consists of musical sounds.
We have only begun to be in awe.] Part 2 Chapter 11 A Means of Spiritual Edification - A Personal
Example of 'Charging Myself Up' shares that KE Hagin's greatest
healings/deliverances/miracles occurred AFTER spending prolonged times praying
in tongues. A woman committed to solitary isolation
in a mental
institution for 2.5 years was permanently delivered by Hagin's obeying God's
words, "Go stand in front of her and say, 'Come out, thine
unclean spirit, in the Name of Jesus!'" Part 2 Chapter 13 More Scriptural Purposes for Speaking in Other Tongues
Like physical or mental exercise, "Praying in other tongues is one of the
greatest spiritual exercises there is, along with feeding your spirit on God's
Word."
"Physical healing at the same time a person got baptized in the Spirit was a
frequent occurrence."
Praying daily in tongues may provide emotional rest
plus prevent a nervous breakdown.
"We emphatically need this supernatural mans of communication with Him...
No matter what a believer feels or does not feel, when he speaks in tongues,
he
is being built up." Part 3 Chapter 14 Five Common Misconceptions about Speaking in Tongues
"If I hadn't started praying in tongues as an act of my own will, that
(heavenly) 'gusher' never would have come.
Praying in tongues like that is just like drilling an oil well...
There is a difference between praying with tongues as an act of your will and
praying with the anointing...that deeper realm of prayer, praying by the
anointing of the Holy Ghost. That's when miracles happen and revelation
comes! Thank God for praying in the Spirit! That day it took me
almost 5 hours to get into that deeper realm of prayer. But as I kept on
praying every day in other tongues, I came to the place where I could get into
that place in the Spirit in 10 minutes."
Sometimes when we do not speak a known language, Satan does not understand our
words. "That's (one reason) why the devil hates tongues so much and fights
it." Part 3 Chapter 15 Common Excesses Regarding Speaking in Tongues
Interceding/travailing in tongues prior to alter calls will assist in others
being born-again + help new converts put their roots deep into Christ.
"Pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus. But you can talk to the Holy
Spirit because
He is a divine Personality...in you. Then...begin to pray
in other tongues."
"When that stronger anointing comes upon me, I pray in tongues as hard and fast
as
I can. I keep praying that way until the burden lifts and I sense a
note of victory." Part 3 Chapter 16 The Scriptural Scope of Praying in Tongues
For born again Spirit filled Christians the expert Counselor is living right
inside of your inner man. To allow Him to counsel you, one needs to
spend DAILY time with Him praying in tongues, for beginners. The more
time, the better. Not in minutes, but in hours. This is NEVER a
waste of time. It is the best investment one will ever have with the most
interest/returns/value. According to GOD, "Most Christians do NOT need
(any sort of human) counseling." What they DO need is to take that time
spent at a psychiatrist's office and spend it on their knees before God.
Additionally, one will begin to recognize God's voice, which is a marvelous
benefit.
...The majority of Christians reason and plan in the mental realm, but fail to
sufficiently spend enough time praying in tongues. Thus many go in wrong
directions. Hagin, Kenneth E - Tongues
- Beyond the Upper Room 10/2008
excerpt titled Prying in Live with God's
Will in The Word of Faith magazine
"We are praying in line with God's perfect will when we pray in tongues." Hagin, Kenneth E - I Believe in Visions -
www.rhema.org
Chapter 1 How God Raised Me from a Deathbed shares his learning that
Christ obtained ALL (salvation/healing/baptism of the Holy Spirit/tongues)
and that we need not re-obtain (wrestle from Satan) what He has already
obtained, but rather just receive. Just retrieve/accept and open like a
birthday gift or inheritance. 2nd, we are NEVER to look at or rely on
feelings/ sight/ manifestation as evidence, but only on His Word in Scripture.
Otherwise Satan or the flesh will overrule/deceive/trick/lie to us.
Chapter 7 A Hospital Visitor "I have prayed as long as 6 hours a
day in tongues and
then prayed the interpretation in English...None of this
comes from my own mind...
It is a greater blessing to use
PROPHECY in prayer. It lifts one higher than anything
else, because prophecy carries greater inspiration than tongues.
Praying in this manner is NOT limited to ministers. All Spirit-filled
Christians can do it."

Tongues
Introduction + Chapter #1. A retelling of the book of Acts, using the
imagination.
(Bottom line. If a Christian has Holy Spirit indwelling, but neglects to
receive and
pray in Holy Spirit's gift of tongues, we will be unable to move/function in
spiritual power, in same manner a car cannot move without the infilling of gas,
on a regular basis.
We cannot run on empty. Mechanically, praying in tongues is the oil that
lubricates the Holy Spirit's operation in our lives.

Chapter 2 Miracles Come Through Faith "God is saying to you...'The
reason I want you to speak in an unknown tongue is because when you do so you
speak directly to Me and no one can understand you. The 2nd reason I want
you to speak in an unknown tongue is to edify yourself, to build yourself up.'" Hayes, Norvel - Understanding the Ministry of Visions -
www.nhm.cc
Chapter 5 Visions Can Impart Knowledge
Praying in tongues keeps
Satan from sabotaging us when we pray in our native language.
2nd, praying in tongues enlists/utilizes the Holy Spirit to pray with
our human spirit aligning our prayers with the will/intentions of
God/Jesus.
When we pray the price to consistently pray in tongues, we are able to
break the power of the enemy over the situation and to help the Trinity
set the captives free; we are Jesus' body on earth. He, via the
Holy Spirit in us, typically only works through us, rather than apart
from us.
Thus when we pray (in our native tongue) and do not act (heal/deliver),
He seldom intervenes.
Chapter 9 How to Keep Your Vision Alive "Pray in tongues
every day...I usually pray in tongues all day...Praying is
hard work sometimes. You may never feel like praying. You
have to make yourself pray...The natural part of you will talk you out
of believing... Your natural mind will come into operation so strong it
will make you wonder why what you're praying or doesn't happen or
question if it's ever going to happen...You've got to pray in
tongues...You're responsible to build yourself up. If you don't
pray in the Holy Ghost, your (human) spirit will be so
weak...Satan...he'll steal your vision...After Satan is bound you, you
have to put action to your faith. Walk the floor and confess the
opposite of what the devil is doing...Confessing for about 30 minutes in
English, spend another 30...in the Holy Ghost...don't ever look at your
vision through your natural eyes...Always look at a situation with the
eyes of your spirit man." Hayes, Norvel - The Blessing of Obedience - booklet -
www.nhm.cc The Baptism of Fire section contends, "There are 3 baptisms:
water, the Holy Ghost,
andfire...Only a small number have been baptized
in the fire of God.
As long as you leave off thefire,
you will stay in some degree of rebellionas a child of God. But if
you will spend time praying in the Spirit (tongues) and
yield yourself to Him - to the Greater One Who lives inside you - He will burn you out of you."

Chapter 4 Spirit Man Arise During an annual month of
seeking the Lord's direction, the Lord revealed that it would be a dry year.
Her spirit would have no feedback from soul nor flesh to encourage her.
The war plan was to daily pray in tongues + daily to confess the covenant
promises found in scripture. Hebrews 4:12 NASB It is the Word
of God that rightly divides between soul and spirit.
"Our born-again spirit will always adhere to the truth of the Word of God
regardless of our thoughts, feelings, or circumstances...Our emotions...can
betray us. Our thoughts can deceive us.
The (uninspired/ unmotivated/unpassionate) daily degrees of the promises of God over my life (for at
least an hour) and the hour each day I prayed in tongues,
truly gave definition to my spirit."
Chapter 7 The Helper (or the Guide) clarifies, "Baptize means to
be fully immersed or to
be completely filled. When you ask the Lord to
baptize you in the (Holy) Spirit (which is
a
subsequent experience to salvation) you are actually inviting the Holy Spirit's
presence
to fill your soul (mind) and body,
as well as your spirit man, where He already resides
(if you have
asked Him to forgive and live in you)...
This is actually an act
of consecration or being set apart for God."
"In addition to asking for an initial infilling of the Spirit, we can
also ask for a refill whenever we need one. Ephesians 5:18...Be
(continually) filled with the Spirit. (KJV)
The
word 'filled' here is written in a present, ongoing tense."
"Don't allow your feelings or lack of them to determine if your experience is
valid.
You are filled because you have asked and He has answered.
The Scripture says so."
There "are 70 functions of the Holy Spirit found in the New Testament.
He is in you and with you to perform these," including:
giving power to cast out devils. Matthew 12:28
giving the gift of tongues. Acts 2:4
releasing prophecy, dreams, visions. Acts 2:17-18 Acts 11:28
transporting to heaven and/or other locations on earth.
Acts 8:39
Tongues are real languages. From the 1st
mention of it by Jesus in Mark 16:17, on through all the references to
it in the Book of Acts and the Epistles, the same Greek root word,
or a form of it, is used. It simply means language. Speaking in
tongues is the ability of
a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian to talk, pray, sing or praise God
supernaturally in a language he has never learned. The words or
utterance originate in the Mind of the in-dwelling Holy Spirit and are
spoken out of the human spirit while bypassing the believer’s conscious
mind.
'For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my
spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful'
(I Cor. 14:14). “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not
unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries'
(I Cor. 14:2)...
When a believer speaks in tongues his
understanding is (usually) unfruitful for others,
not (necessarily)
himself. Although the believer (often) does not know the
precise meaning of the words he is uttering in prayer to God, yet he
is (often) aware of the truths
Holy Spirit reveals to him during, and (or) as a result of,
communing in the Holy Ghost...
'For he that speaketh in an
unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God:
for no man understandeth (heareth, Gk.) him, howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries (sacred secrets/hidden truths)' (I
Cor. 14:2)...
In I Cor. 14:15, Paul defines
praying in tongues as praying 'with the Spirit'...
When one is praying in
the Spirit he is under the direct control and (or)
inspiration of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4)...
One of the 1st
benefits of speaking in tongues is the increased
ability it gives us to worship God...
As we pray in the
Spirit, our mind and emotions enter into a deep
peace. We are enabled to commune with the
Father, spirit to Spirit, while bypassing our
conscious understanding...
We are enabled
to enter into a God-directed life.
We are released from the prison of our own
mental limitations...
God here
recorded for all time and eternity that
we enter the 'Promised Land': by
speaking. Although Moses refused to
'speak TO the Rock,' over 1,500 years
later a group
of 120 followers of God did when Christ,
'the Exalted Rock,' poured out the Gift
of the Holy Spirit upon them. These
believers entered into 'rest.' The
Promised Land today represents the
Baptism in the Holy Spirit and the
higher Christian life. It is a life of
blessings and victory...Praying in
the Spirit will do for our inner man
what physical exercise does for our body...
The Lord called me to minister
in Australia in March of 1976
while I was attending seminary.
It wasn’t until May of 1982 that
I first set foot in Sydney’s
international airport...
Unfortunately, after some
meetings, although the ministry
was received quite well, none
of the churches seemed to be
able to offer the sponsorship
which the government required.
Suppose I would have lamented,
'Maybe it’s not God’s will after
all.' No doubt, the plan
of God for my life and my
ministry in Australia would have
been thwarted. Instead,
I prayed from 10:00 a.m. one
morning until 4:55 p.m. At
the end of that prayer time
I saw in the Spirit a golden
door which swung open. The Lord
then gave me the scripture:
'I
know thy works: behold, I have
set before thee an open door,
and no man can shut it'
(Rev. 3:8). The next day
that verse became a reality as I
traveled north to Brisbane and
eventually was sponsored by the
largest full-gospel organization
in Australia...
Any 1 or more of the 9 gifts
listed in I Cor. 12:8-10 may
be manifested by any
Spirit-filled believer who
desires to be so used...The
battle Yahweh would wage
against the enemies of
His people in the Person
of the Holy Spirit,
would be fought by that
the (Person of the Holy)
Spirit being upon His
servants,
and His Words being
(spoken) in their
mouths...
Our enemies are
spiritual ones: the
Devil and demons...
We conclude...
1st, God is
aware of the
oppression of
the Enemy
against His
people (Isa.
59:16).
2nd, God Himself
will put on the
armor and fight
the battle for
them (Isa.
59:16).
3rd, He will
wage this
warfare against
the real enemies
of His people
(Isa. 59:18-19)
4th, this
warfare will be
waged in the
Person of the
Holy Spirit
(Isa. 59:19).
5th, this will
be accomplished
by the Holy
Spirit being
upon His
servants,
and His words
being in their
mouths (Isa.
59:21)...Eph.
6:10-18...
We make an
appointment
with our
Divine
Counselor
concerning a
particular
need or
situation
saying:
“Here’s the
problem
Lord; now
what are we
going to do
about
it?”
Praise God
for the Holy
Spirit’s
ministry on
our behalf
as we then
yield to Him
in prayer,
allowing
Him to take
the case
before the
Throne of
Grace
for us
according to
the will
of God, in
such a
manner that
we know the
answer will
be
forthcoming....the
opposite
of living
our lives in
the flesh,
by the
dictates of
our carnal
reasoning
and fallen
physical
senses. Just
as Adam and
Eve were
given a
choice
between the
Tree of Life
and the Tree
of the
Knowledge of
Good and
Evil, so we,
too, have
the blessed
privilege of
fasting from
the devil’s
offer of a
counterfeit
existence.
In contrast,
we can
choose Life
(God’s
provision
for each
particular
situation)
in every
crisis...precisely
why Jesus
could be so
bold as to
declare if
we would
continually
come to Him
we would
never hunger
and if we
would
constantly
trust in Him
we would
never thirst
(John 6:35).
David
explained
what it
means to
trust in
Yahweh:
“Trust in
Him all
times; ye
nation,
pour out
your heart
before Him:
Elohim [the
Trinity] is
a refuge for
us” (Ps.
62:8, Heb.).
It is simply
a matter of
personal,
intimate
prayer.
"Pray
without
ceasing" (I
Thess.
5:17).
This verse
illustrates
the third
aspect of
the Spirit’s
ministry for
us in
prayer. We
can,
by an act of
our will,
pray in
tongues,
undertone,
throughout
the day (in
much the
same way as
the unsaved
whistle, hum
or sing
undertone),
and thereby
authorize
Holy Spirit
to minister
through us,
either for
us or
others, as
He deems
spiritually
necessary.
In this way,
we can be
used of God
to make
intercession
and
supplication
for all
saints in
various evil
days known
perhaps only
to God
Himself
(Eph.
6:17-20).
The Promise
of the Holy
Spirit,
Himself, in
fullness is,
in fact,
God’s
All-inclusive
Gift. Let us
treasure Him
and yield to
Him daily
through
(tongues)
prayer in
the Spirit,
the missing
link...
Pray for the
Lord to give
the people
their daily
bread...
God has
ordained
prayer—–communication
and
fellowship—as
His
divine
means of
union
and
communion
with
Him. His
very Son
depended
upon
this
spiritual
interaction
on a
daily
basis...
A
prayer
you
may
pray
to
be
filled
with
Holy
Spirit:
"Heavenly
Father,
I
come
to
you
as
your
child
in
the
Name
of

Your
promise

Spirit
to
all
of
Your
children
who
ask.

-
"We prayed, we spoke the Word of God, and we stood our ground...
As I prayed
in tongues, I just put my focus on the Holy Spirit and His power...trying to
turn my thought away from...fear...Dozing in and out of sleep, and then I saw
Jesus...
I cannot tell you if I actually saw Him with my physical eyes or if I
had a dream...
2 angels reached up to the gold clips on each shoulder...The tunic
He wore dripped until it was now only around His waist...His entire back was
bare...covered with scars...He was showing me that His stripes paid for the
diseases written on those (medical) reports.
His back was pointed at them,
according to Isaiah 53:4:
'But He was counted for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him;
and with His stripes we are (already) healed.' Jesus wanted me to know that He received those scars, so my dad could be
healed...
It was NOT in how hard all of us tried to make Dad's healing happen;
we
just had to trust the anointing and that it was in fact (already)
working...
Today he has one of the ill effects doctors said he would have, if he
even lived at all... (Because of) the vision of the stripes...I was finally certain that the job
was done, NOT based on the medical reports, but based on the fact that God
reminded me in that vision the His power was very much in operation...I finally
came to the end of myself and trusted God power...was working regardless of what
it (physical evidence and medical reports) looked like...Instead of trying to
make the power (of God) work, I finally trusted that it
was (already) working
(in the life of a born-again, Holy Spirit baptized person).
(Waiting for His heirs to recognize and appropriate it.) (The
wafer in communion stands for Jesus' body which took our physical and mental
problems away, as we appropriate that mystery during mass.) Section - Tongues: the Supply of the River - "The Holy Spirit told me
to do something different during my preparation time...to 'preach
my meeting in tongues'...I spent 2 hours 'ministering' to the crowd in
other tongues during my private time in the seclusion of my own bedroom...As I
'preached' in tongues, I disciplined my mind to think only on the meeting...
Praying tin tongues is like the ground space that is carved out before buildings
are built.
It is the foundation created before the results...the doorway
to the supernatural power of God...a 'digging' tool to forge ground in front of
me...Praying in the (Holy) Spirit
(via tongues) is the primary way to cause the
river of power to flow from your spirit.
That is why it was the 1st
manifestation of the Holy Spirit that flowed out of the people in Acts chapter
2." Chapter 5 Supernatural Equipment Is in Your House - A"reason
the devil hates praying in tongues" is because it represents the restoration of
a unified language that supersedes natural limits. In the power of the
(Holy) Spirit, we are of one heart and one language...

"Genesis 7:11 'On that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up,
and the windows of heaven were opened.' Just as God released His power
when the floodwaters
of Noah's day were loosed, you can break open the deep
things of God in your spirit by praying in the Spirit...
This is how we stir up the gifts of God...(2 Timothy 1:6)
(Also,) we stir our spirit to receive what God is giving to us by mouth to mouth
transmission (prophecy/tongues/interpretation of tongues)...You don't have to
figure it out in your head; you just allow the anointing to come from the
heart...
Simply ask...the Holy Spirit what is on His heart...Ask Him what is important to
Him...(Daily) set...time aside to fellowship with the Holy Spirit...He LOVES it
when you do." Kunneman,

There are different power levels in God's kingdom:
Level #1 is receiving
forgiveness for our sins & then accepting Jesus as our Messiah/savior
Level #2 is receiving Jesus' Holy Spirit baptism.
Level #3 is praying
regularly in tongues; this helps to move men, angels, and demons!

Chapter 23 Baptism in the Holy Spirit shares, "When a group prayed for me
as if I were
to receive the Spirit (baptism) for the first
time, nothing much happened. But the next afternoon, when a few friends
prayed for a release in me of the gifts of the Spirit
(which I had already
received in (infant water) baptism, confirmation and
ordination),
I was overwhelmed with joy, and a wave of laughter swept over me."
"One of the purposes of this immersion in the (Holy)
Spirit is empowered ministry,
as Jesus promised His disciples after His
resurrection." (Remember, Jesus' disciples did have a healing/deliverance
ministry before Jesus died; however, each lacked
courage/authority/boldness/character/confidence needed of leadership, until
after the Holy Spirit baptism, which came only after Christ was resurrected.)
"Even Jesus in His human nature needed to be empowered
by the (Holy) Spirit before He began His public ministry,
preaching, healing and casting out evil spirits...Look at the example of Jesus,
Who walked with God for 30 years, then needed a new dimension of union with the
Spirit to empower Him for ministry. I need that empowering, too...
Padre Salvador Carillo...told them (priests in Mexico City)
they should not get trapped into trying to figure out too much theoretically.
The main thing they should ask themselves was whether what happened to the
apostles at Pentecost had happened to them. Where they eager to preach the
Gospel? Where they healing the sick and casting out evil spirits?..."Tradition says they (the 12 disciples) were ordained at
the Last Supper, almost 2 months before Pentecost. Yet they were not ready
for ministry until the Spirit descended on them at Pentecost." MacNutt, Francis - The Prayer that Heals -

"The Lord has chosen to withhold the gift of speaking in tongues and the
gift of interpreting tongues from the beginning of time until the day of
Pentecost. These 2 precious gifts were presented to the Body of Christ, and are
available today. Many times, the operations of the other 7 of the 9 spiritual
gifts are manifested in conjunction with tongues and interpretation. If tongues
and interpretation are not welcomed, reverenced, and given the chance to
operate, oftentimes the other gifts will not activate either.
We need all
of the Holy Spirits gifts, ministries, and operations. We cannot do without a
single one of them."

Chapter 20 Nourishing Your Spirit -
"Praying in tongues edifies your spirit (as well as your soul, and body)...The
more active the Holy Spirit is in our lives, the stronger our spirit
becomes....The quenching of the Holy Spirit can even affect an entire
territory." Exercise your spirit man. "Your (human) spirit is the part of
your being that 1st knows (and hears) God...Your soul needs to hear what your
(human) spirit has to say (to relay from God)." Likewise your soul/mind
needs have your mouth speak aloud God's words to your body. (Andrew
Wommack and others contend that the human spirit is perfected at salvation or at
least Holy Spirit baptism.
Thus it would be God speaking to our born-again
human spirit,
which communicates to our soul, the latter which needs to be
exercised.)
Prince, Derek - Rules of Engagement -
www.derekprince.org
Fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit are different. "A gift comes through a
single brief impartation, but fruit comes through a slow process of development.
Receiving a spiritual gift does not, in itself, change a person's
character...When we pass from time to eternity, we will leave our gifts
behind, but our character will be with us forever." "Many
will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,
cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' Then I
will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice
lawlessness!'" Matthew 22-23
Roberson, Dave - The Walk of the
Spirit - The Walk of Power - The Vital Role of Praying in Tongues -
www.daveroberson.org - Portrait
Version Book
shares how Dave and Donner, his sister, learned to move mountains by praying up
to 8 hours in tongues. The Lord shared with Dave that there is a "spiritual law"
- praying in tongues edifies one personally and spiritually; praying in tongues supernaturally builds faith or spiritual
backbone/muscle. Dave contends that the dividing line between Christians
with spiritual power and Christians without power is (the absence or presence
of) speaking/praying in tongues, the 8th office of the Holy Spirit, which is the
foundation/door/switch for all spiritual power/gifts/fruit/muscle of the Holy
Spirit.
For instance, a pastor may be intellectually qualified but spiritually
disqualified, if he does not receive/refuses the gift of tongues. Praying
often in tongues allows our private tutor the Holy Spirit to minister to our
human spirit, to remove our old nature, to remove the enemy's nature, and to
impart His nature into us. (Actually
what a wonderful thing to do in a mental hospital. Any patient can cry or
sing aloud in holy tongues and accomplish more healing in one week than
the doctors can accomplish in one year.)

Dave contends there are tongues for personal use & for public use.
The
following is how Dave translates 1st Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing?
(In public places)
do all speak with tongues (that need to be interpreted)?
(In public places)
do all interpret
(the tongues spoken in public)? 1st Corinthians 14:18 " I (Paul)
thank my God, (that) I speak (pray privately)
with tongues (that supernatural language of edification that
allows/imparts/downloads the Holy Spirit's revelation knowledge)
more than you all."
Chapter 7 Praying Out the Mysteries of God's Plan notes that the second
we are born again into God's kingdom (when we ask God to forgive our sins
and ask God's Son Jesus to be our Lord), a book/seed/blueprint of
God's perfect will/plans for our life is deposited inside our spirit. Each
time we pray in tongues, we allow the Holy Spirit to water/nurture/download into
that seed.
Chapter 8 The Channel Through Which the Holy Spirit Speaks reminds us
of Jesus' Words.
(Matthew 11:7-14 NKV 7Jesus
began to say to the multitudes concerning John,
"What
(who) did you go out into the wilderness to see?...
9 A Prophet?
Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
10for this is he of
whom it is written, 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your Face, who will
prepare Your way before You.' 11Assuredly,
I say to you, among those who are born of women there has
not risen a greater (person) than John the Baptist;
notwithstanding, He Who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12From the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence; the violent take it by
force. 13All the
prophets until now prophesied until John. 14If
you are willing to receive it, He (John) is Elijah who is to come. Matthew 11:18-19 NKV
18John came neither eating nor
drinking; they say, 'He (like Jesus)
has a demon.' 19The Son
of Man (Jesus) came eating and drinking; they say,
'Look, a glutton, wine-biber, and a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'.)
[Consider - John (the Baptist), Jesus' 1st cousin
may have had a deposit of God's Holy Spirit while in in womb. Luke 1:41,44 NKJV When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary,
that babe (inside her) leapt in her womb; Elizabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit...As soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in
my ears, the babe leapt in my womb for joy.)
John's wilderness life probably allowed the Holy Spirit to minister to his human
spirit/soul/body. Dave reminds us that the more we pray in tongues and
allow the Spirit to do His work in us, the more God will be able to use us.
John's (and Christ's) life is an example to us of how to
doggedly/tenaciously clamp onto the goal (our reason for
existence) for which God Himself designed in our lives.]
Roberts, Oral - When You See the Invisible, You Can Do the Impossible -
www.orm.cc
The book's introduction states strongly that one reason the elderly author is
vibrant/young in spirit is due to praying in and interpretation of
tongues.
Chapter 20 Why I Make No Decision or Attempt Anything for God without First
Praying in the Spirit and Planting a Seed of Faith
shares that both Oral and Evelyn prayed in tongues in crisis or great
joy, but not daily. Suddenly (when Oral was in desperation, on his knees,
in tears) the Holy Spirit flowed up in tongues. Next the English
translation poured forth. Each only lasted approximately one minute.
Oral asked the Lord to let this happen again and again. God granted this
both for him and later for his wife.
1st Corinthians 14:13-15 TNAB 13One who speaks in a tongue should pray to be able to
interpret. 14If I pray in a
tongue, my spirit is at prayer, but my mind is unproductive. 15So
what is to be done? I will pray with the spirit, but I will also pray with
the mind.
I will sing praise with the spirit, but I will also sing praise
with the mind.

Likewise, Merlin Carothers in Prison to Praise
www.foundationof praise.org shares
that the Lord instructed him first to pray softly in unknown tongues and then to
speak out the translation. One key to operating in God's will and His
power is to NOT think/argue/debate/discuss but to immediately obey God. If
you consider the thought/command to be a contradiction to scripture, then you
should test the spirits.

Chapter 2 Made for Communion - Mike's roadmap to Holy Spirit
fellowship and access
of our inheritance in Jesus. "1st is meditation on
the Word of God, 2nd is dialogue

Chapter 4 Unlocking Mysteries - When praying in tongues focus on
http://niv.scripturetext.com/revelation/4.htm &
http://niv.scripturetext.com/ezekiel/1.htm ). "When we speak in
tongues, we are addressing God in His native tongue - spirit...We're NOT
babbling TO the air; we're communicating with a Person in a specific language."
"Mahesh Chavda...talks...'As the Japanese could NOT penetrate the code of
the Navajo wind-talkers, so the devil cannot break through the language of the
Spirit...
Spiritual wind-talkers have a secure communication with the Lord, a
special language
or 'code' that cannot be intercepted, understood or subverted
by the enemy.
Speaking in tongues is the language of the realm of (3rd)
heaven.'"
Speaking/praying mysteries. The game or point of hide and seek is to be
found.
"Our Father...wants us to experience the excitement of searching
for Him
and the delight of finding Him. God hides to be found."
"Praying in the Spirit is critical to engaging in the revelatory realm...
'I find
on a regular basis that after praying in tongues for 20 minutes, my mind begins
to be filled with (the) divine...You will see an increase in divine
appointments...
and...begin to carry the anointing of God."
Chapter 5 Strengthening Yourself - Per
Shelley Hundley -
http://www.shelleyhundley.com/about/ "In Bolivia...a small house
church...members were encouraged to pray in tongues all the time...A tractor
driver...worked on a soybean plantation and he spent most of his days praying in
tongues as he drove his tractor.
One day his co-worker failed to show up
for his shift...The man had hung himself the night before...He cut the man down,
laid him on the ground, and began to pray in tongues...'Jesus, I praise You
because You are life,' he began to declare...and continued praying in the
Spirit. suddenly the corpse sat up...He (the co-worker) received the
Gospel; and the baptism of the Holy Spirit that same night'...
Because he (continually) strengthened his spirit through praying in tongues,
in
the hour of crisis he was able to access the power of God and call forth a
miracle."
"We are living on a 'machine' - (that is) surviving off the 2nd hand spiritual
experiences
of our leaders - and we are missing out...The Holy Spirit is calling
the Body of Christ individually and corporately to stand as priests...The Lord
spoke to me one day and said,
'I am about to take the
Church off of her feeding tube. I am going to
teach her how to eat.'"

Chapter 6 Building a Capacity for God - "Even
on a daily basis, it takes around 20 minutes of praying in the Spirit before I
begin to consistently receive breakthrough from God.
For those initial
20 minutes, I am usually battling my wandering thoughts and constantly
bringing my mind back to the focal points found in Scripture...Praying in the
Spirit not only creates space (a nest/home) within us for the life of God, but
it builds and strengthens
the connection between our spirits and God...We are
building something to contain the atmosphere and activity of the supernatural
realm, and just like Jacob, we can call this edifice, this ladder connecting us
to our heavenly home, the house (habitation) of God."
Chapter 7 Learning How to Fight - Corey contends that demons DO
understand our prayers while speaking in tongues TO God. Yes, demons do
lie; nonetheless his is a plausible argument. During a deliverance,
progress was made via praying in tongues.
When commanded in the name of
Jesus to share what was being prayed, the result was,
"They (the students) are
declaring the victory of Jesus" and "They are prophesying our coming demise."
"The reality of spiritual warfare...propelled me into the practice of praying in
tongues for extended periods of time...Sometimes this only took 20 minutes and
sometimes it took 2 hours...I learned to discern the presence of
breakthrough...The greatest war that we are in right now is against the spirit
of (naivety, laziness and) complacency" (in addition to spiritual flabbiness.
An uncharged dead battery is of NO avail during an emergency.
The Holy
Spirit is our lithium battery. We are NEVER to go it alone. NEVER.
One ministry resource for spiritual training is
www.flashfloods.com ). "God has
given us...offensive weapons - (singing To the Lord, feasting on and speaking)
the Word of God and praying in the Spirit...People who have NOT built up their
(human) spirit, may speak the same words and pray the same prayers (as do those
who terrify demons), but the proclamations fall to the ground with NO life or
power in them. What was meant to be a sword is more like a butter
knife...Begin...the daily discipline of praying (and singing) for extended,
undistracted periods of time in tongues."
Chapter 8 The Key to Transformation - "Praying in tongues
is sowing to the Spirit...planting the things of the Spirit in the garden of our
hearts; and if we keep sowing those seeds, we will eventually reap a
harvest...There are sowing seasons and reaping seasons in the spirit, just as
there are in the natural."
Chapter 9 Receiving and Sustaining Life in the Spirit -
"Everything in the Kingdom of God is accessed by faith, and so it is with
receiving the personal gift of tongues...Remember that we are NOT trying to
produce a specific sound. We must NOT judge and evaluate our prayer
languages or compare them to the languages of those around us." ( Disallow your
mind to reject; it is your spirit that communicates with papa God, Who is
Spirit.) "Stop striving and start receiving" in Jesus' name. FOCUS
on Him and NOT on His manifestations. We desire to be mutually intoxicated
with each other; that is the goal. Begin with a minimum of "setting aside
20-30 minutes every day to intentionally pray in the Spirit."
Chapter 10 There Is More - "Tongues is a gateway gift...As
believers, we are invited (daily) to receive more and more of the Holy Spirit.
We are being baptized deeper into a PERSON, immersed in His life, His love, and
His power." (Lord forgive us for settling for the obvious, when we can
have it ALL, especially all our inheritance in Messiah and a more magnificent
relationship with You Father God. Spur us on that we might NOT have many
regrets at the end of our life, with could have and should have, in Jesus' name.
Amen.)

Fleming H Revel publisher - Chapter 9 Detective Story -
"I
ran across a story which I could fit in no way into my forgotten-exposure
hypothesis. One day a young man from New Jersey, Clifford Tonnensen,
had attended a Pentecostal camp meeting in Michigan. In the course of the
meeting Clifford received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and began to speak in
tongues. A lady standing nearby grew extremely excited. Clifford was
speaking German, she said. A fluent, beautiful High German.
But...it
was the fact that she knew he could NOT be speaking the language by any natural
meals. He could NOT even speak his own language, English. Clifford
was a deaf-mute
who had NOT heard a sound since a disease destroyed his hearing
at the age of 2 months!"
"The most amazing story...took place...in the year 1922...
Reverend H.B.
Garlock and his wife of Toms River,
New Jersey volunteered...to go to Africa
as missionaries to the Pahns,
as small tribe in the interior of Liberia...The Pahns were cannibals.
(Later as a captive of the Pahns) Garlock prayed, 'Lord, show me what to do.
Send Your Spirit to help me.' suddenly Garlock began to shake
violently...With the trembling came
a sense of the nearness of the Holy Spirit.
Words of Jesus came to him, 'Take no thought what ye shall speak, neither do ye
premeditate; but whatsoever shall be given to you in that hour, that speak ye;
for it is not ye that speak but the Holy Ghost.' Garlock felt a strange
boldness...From his lips came a flow of words which he did not understand.
Garlock saw the natives lean forward, enthralled. He saw that the words,
whatever they were, had a stirring effect on those who listened. He knew
beyond a doubt that he was speaking to the Pahns in their own language.
For 20 minutes Garlock talked to the Pahns...
Then, straightening, the witch doctor gave an order and a white rooster was
brought forward. With a snap, the witch doctor wrung the rooster's neck.
He sprinkled some of
the blood on the foreheads of Garlock and the (other)
prisoner. Later Garlock interpreted this as meaning that the rooster had
taken his place; blood had to be shed, but something he had said in the Spirit
had convinced these people that he and the prisoner should go free...Garlock is
certain that the beginnings of the conversion (of the Pahns) came with the seed
sown while he...gave a speech, not one word of which did he understand."

The pastor went on to explain to Delores that she was 'baptized in the Holy
Spirit" and "received some gifts" (tongues, interpretation of tongues, and gift
of knowledge) at the same time that she received her healing. No one had
ever explained this to her before.

Chapter 4 In the Work shares, "All who were present came to the altar and
make a full consecration and prayed for a baptism of the Holy Spirit and
of fire, and that night it came. 15 came to the altar screaming for mercy.
Men and women fell and lay like dead.
I had never seen anything like this.
I felt it was the work of God but did not know how to explain it, or what to
say....
The Spirit of God brought before me the vision I had before I started out in the
work of
the Lord, and said, 'Don't you remember
when you were carried away and saw the field of wheat and
the sheaves falling? The large field of wheat
was the multitudes of people you are to preach the Gospel to.
The falling sheaves is what you see here tonight, the
slaying power of God. This is My power.
I told you I would be with you and fight your battles;
it
is not the wisdom of men, but the power and wisdom
of God that is needed to bring sinners from darkness to light.'" Woodworth-Etter, Maria -

Chapter 22 section A Visit of 2 Angels pg 130-131 "Brother Riese
went home. He went to bed and to sleep, and he was awakened by a voice and saw 2
angels. [And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him (Peter), and a
light shined in the prison...And he ( Peter was) not (sure/aware) that it was
true (in the body/reality or spiritual) which was done by the angel; but thought
he saw a vision. (Acts 12:7, 9) standing by his bed.] His (Brother
Riese's) room was in darkness, but a light filled the room, as the angels were
bright and shining as the sun. They had long golden hair and beautiful wings,
and each carried a golden palm; even their hands and feet, fingers and toenails
were all shining with the same brightness, and their feet never touched the
floor, but they stood on a level with his bed one of the angels spoke to him in
such a tender voice of sweetness and said in English the same message that
Brother Wiley had given in Turkish, 'Go back and warn
God’s people to watch and pray, for the time is at hand of the coming of the
Lord. Tell them to warn the American people that God is preaching to
Europe at the cannon’s mouth, because He spread His hands all day long to a
rebellious people, speaking to them by the Spirit. Each nation claims its God to
be the greatest, yet in reality they are mocking God. Tell the American
people they are the last nation to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
and to repent while the windows of heaven are open to pour out the Spirit on all
flesh. Tell them that the knowledge they profess came from the Nazarene, the Son
of God, for their country before the Gospel came was evil and full of darkness,
and even now men reject the Wisdom of God, making themselves greater than God.
A man will soon conquer Europe, and then God will ‘preach to this nation at
the mouth of the cannon, and those who are asleep (deceived)
will remain asleep, and those who have their eyes on man will remain with man,
and this country will also be conquered by the man of Europe
(antichrist ?), then Jesus will catch away his Bride
and God will take away His Spirit from the earth, and those who are not filled
(baptized)
with the Spirit, whose lamps are not trimmed and burning, will fall on that day.
The time is at hand.' The angels then disappeared."

least temporarily) with His saints at the end of His visitation (time of
mercy).**

To help us pray we can enlist our imagination for holy encounters, eg:
"to
picture the cloud of God's presence wrapping around" us.
To help reject distraction we can write down "to do" things rather than meditate
or act on them now. "Then say to your mind, 'You can't tell me things to do
anymore. All my to-do-list is written down, so be quiet.'
(Obviously, if your sins come to mind, confess them and get rid of them.
Then you can't blame that as a distraction anymore)...
If your mind wanders aimlessly, speak in tongues...I would speak in
tongues for hours until my mind completely gave up and I didn't even know
what I was doing anymore...
My mind learned who was boss. Speaking in
tongues energizes your (human) spirit.
It is like lifting weights for
the body.
Sing and praise and worship God. Focus on Jesus. Meditate on the
Word until your mind is still. At first...10-20 minutes a
day...Persist...to establish new habits...to enter God's presence."

Kevin: Jesus himself...23 years
ago, in person told me that the #1 supernatural thing that you could do was
to yield to and let the Spirit begin to speak out God's mysteries.
He says, "Once that happens, guess what: The
transaction goes from the heavenly realm into the physical realm."
I have had people who spoke the language that I speak
in tongues tell me what I was saying. For a whole week this individual
translated,
not interpreted, translated from his native tongue everything that I was saying.
It was naming people that I would meet within 24 hours; I did. It was every
transaction that was going to happen the next week. He didn't even know. He was
just telling me.
He would name names, and I would go, I know what that is, and then I would come
in contact with that person. He would tell me things. He said, "The Spirit is
saying, "Kevin...you're going into the supernatural."
He told me what name of the school I was going to. He didn't know that. I was
speaking his native language.
So what is it that the Spirit is wanting to say through you that's going to take
it from the spirit realm and bring it here? I'm telling you, once you
utter it, it is a transaction and the devil can't do anything about it.

How to Receive Divine Insight by Praying in the Spirit
- 11/12/2018 - "When we pray in the Spirit, divine
insight enlightens our hearts so we can hit the mark when we pray...But you,
beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith. Pray in the Holy Spirit.
Keep yourselves in the love of God while you are waiting for the mercy of our
Lord Jesus Christ, which leads to eternal life (Jude 20-21)...'Waiting
anxiously' means waiting with expectation, hardly being able to contain your
eagerness. Praying in the Spirit releases
a supernatural atmosphere and enables you to walk continuously in the love
of God.
Another interesting fact about this passage is that it says you are supposed to
build yourself up. You cannot wait for others to do so, and you cannot wait for
God to make
it happen." (Entire editorial reminds & encourages us of other excellent

How Can You Recognize the Voice of the Lord?

"The primary way God communicates is not with my brain but with my spirit.
That’s why I make sure there are times when I pray in tongues and do nothing
with my mind on purpose...
The Holy Spirit is supplying the language, all right,
but it is your human
spirit that is doing the praying.
You see, we are a part of the Body of Christ, and Jesus is the Head. Wherever
His Body is present in this earth, the Head has authority. When the Holy
Spirit transfers that supernatural language to your human spirit, He
also transfers the authority. Now you as a member of the Body of Christ are
praying a prayer that the Holy Spirit gave you with the authority to change
things on this earth..
I was in my prayer closet edifying myself in tongues. Suddenly
it seemed like some kind of invisible dome settled over me–as if I was in the
Holy of Holies. Everything got very quiet as I slid over into the realm of the
Spirit. God was about to teach me some profound truths about distinguishing His
voice. In the Spirit I saw the physical anatomy of a man. Then I saw what appeared
to be a 'glow' on the inside of the man’s body. I understood the glow to be the
outline of the inner spirit man, which was encased by the outer man–wall to
wall, hands to hands, eyes to eyes.
In that moment of revelation, I learned something I hadn’t understood before
about the spirit man. If I had the ability to have my spirit man step out and
stand next to my physical man, you would see that my inner man has hands, eyes,
a nose, ears, and hair. He also has a brain that fits inside my natural brain.
In fact, my spirit man looks exactly like my physical man, minus age and
defects.
But I had more to learn. In this vision I saw the spirit man’s mind. Then
I saw the Holy Spirit literally creating tongues within the spiritual mind,
which was bathed in that heavenly glow. The moment the Holy Spirit created the
tongues, they came outward to the outer man’s mind and then out of his mouth. I
realized I was seeing the part of the spirit from which the Holy Spirit
speaks...
The hidden man of the heart–the spirit man–has a brain just like your
physical body does, and that spiritual brain fits in your natural brain. God
does not move out of your spirit man’s brain and go down to the belly button
region to talk to you. He communicates with your spiritual mind, and that
spiritual mind is in your head...
The spiritual mind, of course, lies beneath the natural mind. This
explains why it appears that the voice of the Holy Spirit is coming from 'way
down somewhere' when it is actually coming from the deep recesses of your
spiritual mind.
My outer man gives my spirit man the authority to operate in a natural world.
Because I am 'wearing' my physical body, I can contact physical things. In the
same way, my physical brain allows my spiritual brain to operate in a natural
world and translate what I am receiving in the spirit into a natural operation,
such as languages.
So your spiritual brain is the part of you with which the Holy Spirit
communicates. The more you pray in tongues, the more you are going to
familiarize yourself with the part of you where He actually creates that
supernatural language. It is the same part of you where you will hear the inner
witness or hear Him in your native language in such a way that you can hear
God’s voice.
Now, let me help you isolate this part of your spirit. I suggest that you do
what God instructed me to do on that particular day. He had me pray out loud for
a while in the Holy Spirit; then He impressed me to stop. I stopped praying out
loud, but the tongues did not stop because the Holy Spirit was continuing to
create the words on the inside of my spiritual mind. When I didn’t let the words
come out of my mouth, they just floated up to my natural mind and I could hear
them. For a while, the Holy Spirit kept creating the words, and I kept on
hearing them.
If you respond to the Holy Spirit and say, 'I want to pray in tongues,'
immediately He will supply the language. If you don’t open your mouth, you will
notice that you can hear those tongues being created somewhere on the inside of
you. You are hearing God’s voice with the ear of your spirit. What is God
saying? Tongues. Where is He saying it? In your spirit.
So let me suggest that you forcefully pray in tongues for a few minutes; then
stop abruptly. In doing this, you will create a river that will continue to flow
up to your natural mind even after you stop speaking. Listen to where this
language is created in your spirit for a moment. Familiarize yourself with it,
for that is the exact same part of you that you will need to monitor in order to
distinguish the voice of the Holy Spirit.
The more you pray in tongues, the more familiar you will become with the source
of the Holy Spirit’s language and how He talks to you. So start learning to
listen. Make it your highest priority to learn how to hear the voice of God.
There is no better way to prepare yourself for the times to come. Whatever the
future might hold for the world, YOUR future will be bright as you grow in close
fellowship with Him!"

Ephesians 6 "says take the helmet of salvation. What
part of you does your helmet protect? Your head. What does your head stand
for? Your though life. That’s right.
It is so important that we know how to protect our thought life. God has
provided a helmet. Here it is called the helmet of salvation. In 1 Thessalonians
5:8 it’s called the hope of salvation. You know what protects your mind? Hope.
You’ve got to be an optimist. If you are a pessimist your mind is open to the
attacks of Satan. I have a message about that because it is something I
learned about spirits. I was born and brought up a pessimist I suffered agonies
in my mind until I learned that I had to change and that I had a helmet that
would protect my mind. Alright, take the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit
which is the word of God”
the spoken word of God. Notice you’ve got 6 items of
equipment, all of them are defensive except the last one. The sword which is a
weapon of attack which only goes as far as your arm can reach.
But the 7th weapon is THE weapon in verse 18:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (tongues).
Here is where we can reach out and assail Satan’s kingdom in the
heavens.
It is what the weapon of prayer is in the spirit (realm).
So we have 7 items of (military) equipment. 5 are defensive, the 6th is the
sword which will only reach as far as your arm reaches, but the 7th is what I
call God’s intercontinental ballistic missile...We can assail Satan’s
kingdom with the weapon of all prayer. Alright, now I am coming to the very
thing that I wanted to deal with, we are going back to Matthew 12 and I am going
to show you one more verse. Really all I can do is stimulate your thinking but
that’s a lot. It always impresses me that Martin Luther started the Protestant
reformation by pinning up 90 some thesis. He did not put up the answers, he just
got them started thinking. Now when they started thinking, things changed. See.

Signs, wonders, and the very present Kingdom of God -
Part 4 - Healing, tongues
and salvation in Hong Kong
pseudonym of Roger Mugs editorial from
http://www.theologer.com/2009_02_01_archive.html -
"Before I went to Hong Kong I had heard that
Jackie Pullinger put a high value on tongues and when I arrived after
my 1st night I asked if some of the people would lay hands on me to receive the
gift. I'd done some reading on the subject and understood that if I didn't open
my mouth nothing would happen, so not long into the prayer I opened my mouth and
starting praying. It was pretty weird at 1st and I definitely wondered if it was
from the Lord. However since then I've come to the conclusion that even if it's
very natural at 1st - if I am honestly seeking he Lord in this and telling Him
that I'm offering up my tongue to Him then He will be faithful to make it into
what He desires.
And the next day I woke up and everyone ate breakfast and then headed into the
community room to pray in tongues. And every addict young and old prayed at the
top
of their lungs in tongues for 15 minutes. It was weird. But Jackie says
she's seen a relationship between how much people are praying in tongues in her
ministry and how often she's seeing supernatural things happen - like healing...
When someone came to this meeting they would hear a clear presentation of the
gospel - and a shockingly large % of people would accept the Lord right then and
there. Then seemingly without exception they would pray in tongues. I was
only there 1 night and I may not have understood it, but the best I could tell
no one was telling them they should pray in tongues, they just all did...Now
most of these people were messed up in a lot of ways. Heroin addicts...
I remember Jackie walking around the room praying for people...At one point she
stopped, turned around and pointed at a guy and said in English, 'That one's got
a demon on him there.' And then some folks stood up and ran across the room to
begin praying for the guy. I don't understand everything that went on that
night, but I did understand that these were dirty nasty people both physically
and spiritually but these people loved them anyways and the Lord was showing up
in powerful ways."
Jackie Pullinger
"soon came across the (Hong
Kong) Walled City, a dire slum full of Triad gangsters, heroin addicts,
prostitution, and with barely a chink of light in the whole place. 10s of 1,000s
of desperate people were crammed into a few acres of space. She received the
gift of speaking in tongues, and began praying for people while in the Spirit,
finding that as she did so, addicts would sometimes detox without any
withdrawal symptoms... In the Old
Testament you had a few special people like judges or kings or prophets.
In the
New Testament God said, ‘I will pour my
Spirit out on all
flesh.’ So,
the more you put 1 person on a pedestal, the more people think there’s a special
anointing or something, which is NOT true, and it actually makes the Church go
backwards and not forwards."

http://www.revivalschool.com/healing.html - "Born in 1859 into
poverty, Smith Wigglesworth was converted by the Methodists at eight
years of age. Even then, he
was hungry for God and hungry for souls. He was in
the choir of the local Episcopal church. 'When most of the boys in the choir
were 12 years of age they had to be confirmed by
the bishop. I was not 12, but
between 9 and 10, when the bishop laid his hands on me.
I can remember that as he imposed his hands I had a similar experience to the
one I had 40 years later when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. My whole body
was filled with the consciousness of God's presence, a consciousness that
remained with me for days. After the confirmation service all the other boys
were swearing and quarreling. I wondered what had made the difference between them and me.' (Stanley Frodsham, 'Smith Wigglesworth, Apostle of Faith', pg 13. -Most of the following
quotes are also taken from this excellent book). Later, Wigglesworth was
fully-immersed in water by the Baptists...
Smith Wigglesworth: 'I had the grounding in Bible teaching among the Plymouth
Brethren.
I marched under the blood and fire banner of the Salvation Army,
learning to win souls in the open air. I received the second blessing of
sanctification and a clean heart under the teaching of Reader Harris and the
Pentecostal League. I claimed the gift of the Holy Spirit by faith as I waited
ten days before the Lord. But in Sunderland, in 1907, I knelt before God and had
an Acts 2:4 experience.' (Pg 119). He described this experience as follows: 'She
[Mrs Boddy, a minister's wife] laid her hands on me and then had to go out of
the room. The fire fell. It was a wonderful time as I was there with God alone.
He bathed
me in power. I was conscience of the cleansing of the precious blood,
and I cried out: "Clean! Clean! Clean!" I was filled with the joy of the
consciousness of the cleansing.
I was given a vision in which I saw the Lord Jesus Christ. I beheld the empty
cross.
I saw Him exalted at the right hand
of God the Father. I could speak no longer in English, but I began to
praise Him in othertongues as the Spirit of God gave me utterance.
I
knew then, although I might have received anointings previously, that now, at
last,
I had received the real Baptism in the Holy Spirit as they received on
the day of Pentecost.' (Pg 44)...
After this experience, there was no stopping Smith Wigglesworth. He was a flame
for God, and the fire fell wherever he went. He said: 'I believe God's
ministers are to be flames
of fire. Nothing less than flames. Nothing less
than mighty instruments, with burning messages, with hearts full of love. They
must have a DEPTH OF CONSECRATION, that God has taken full charge of the body,
and it exists only that it may manifest the Glory of God. A Baptism into death
in which the person is purified and energized.'"

transcript-
In Isaiah 44, Verses 3 and 4, God said, 'I will pour water on him who is
thirsty.' That's our responsibility to be thirsty for God, thirsty for the
things of God. And God said, 'I will pour the floods on the dry ground. I
will pour My spirit on your seed and my blessing on your offspring.' My
daughter was about 5 years old and she had not been filled with the Holy Spirit
yet. So I started claiming that promise after I found it. Everyday I
would confess, now God, you said in your Word, 'I will pour out my
spirit on your seed, on your descendants.' I was in a revival meeting in Carbon
Hill, Alabama, and she was there with a group of young people, and I preached on
the infilling of the Holy Spirit. She came forward, fell out of the power, spoke
in tongues about 45 minutes... Find out what God has already made a commitment to do. Like Deuteronomy
7:9 says, 'He is the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy with those
who love Him to a thousand generations'...
Proverbs 11:21 says, 'The seed of the righteous shall be delivered.' God
didn't say light be, could be, should be or maybe. He said, 'The seed of the
righteous SHALL be delivered.'
I think we need to speak with that
kind of forcefulness."
"Father, in the name of Jesus, You said that in the last days You would pour out
Your
spirit on all flesh, our sons and daughters would prophesy, and our young
men would
see visions. I claim that fulfillment, that promise coming
to pass in Jesus' name.
May every child represented by every person watching
this telecast, let everyone of
them come unto this canopy of the anointing of
God. You're the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy with those that
love You to 1,000 generations. Let covenant come upon them in Jesus' name...
I just feel like there are hundreds of you that are going to see your
offspring...delivered, Proverbs 11:21, 'The seed of the righteous shall be
delivered'; we prophesy (declare/profess Proverbs ll:21) over you in Jesus'
name. Amen. Hallelujah"...

Pennsylvania
in 1863, was
ordained by
the
Methodist
Church in
Iowa in
1895. His
pastoral
ministry was
cut short,
however,
when he
became
afflicted
with
tuberculosis.
Upon the
advice of
his doctor,
in 1903 he
moved to
Arizona. He
made a
living for
his family
by selling
fruit. Scull
was a leader
at the small
Life Line
Mission in
Phoenix when
the
congregation
began
hearing
reports in
the summer
of 1906
of the Azusa
Street
Revival
in Los
Angeles.
According to
Scull, the
news
generated
'great
interest
among
spiritual
people in
Phoenix and
vicinity.'
In the
summer of
1907, Scull
made a
pilgrimage
to the
Arroyo Seco
camp meeting
in Los
Angeles to
check out
the emerging
revival.
Recalling
his visit,
Scull wrote:
"I was much
prejudiced
at first and
disposed to
be critical,
and saw much
that I did
not like,
but was at
once
impressed
with the
fact of the
overwhelming
sense of the
presence of
God. The
very
atmosphere
seemed
charged and
the awe of
God
overshadowed
all." He
continued,
"I had never
heard such
raptured
praise. I
heard praise
in many
strange
tongues,
some
interpreted
by people
who knew the
language,
but most in
an unknown
tongue
interpreted
in the same
way as they
were given;
that is, by
Spirit
utterance.
Soon I was
thoroughly
convinced of
the
genuineness
of the work
and realized
that God was
bringing us
back to
Pentecost of
the upper
room, and,
as far as
possible,
renewing the
power as of
the early
church."
What Scull
witnessed
caused him
to cast his
lot with the
Pentecostals:
"The sick
were healed,
devils cast
out, the
lame walked,
the blind
received
their sight.
I saw that
God was
going that
way and
resolved to
gladly
follow Him,
though I
knew it
would cost
me much."
Scull
returned to
Phoenix and
shared what
he had
witnessed.
This caused
conflict and
the mission
disbanded.
Ironically,
Scull had
not yet
personally
experienced
Spirit
baptism with
the evidence
of speaking
in tongues.
Scull was,
however,
healed of
tuberculosis.
In December
1907, he
traveled to
Denver,
where he met
Maria
Woodworth-Etter,
the Holiness
healing
evangelist
who would
later
embrace the
Pentecostal
message. She
agreed to
hold
services for
Scull in
Phoenix. The
meetings
with
Woodworth-Etter
established
the
Pentecostal
movement in
Phoenix.
Scull
recalled,
'The meeting
opened
January 2,
1908, with
about 75
present.
The
situation
was
pecu1iar.
The pastor
had not
received the
Pentecostal
baptism,
neither had
the
evangelist,
and yet we
were holding
a
Pentecostal
meeting.'
Scull
continued,
'The 1st
Wednesday
night a
little girl
fell under
the power
and lay for
2 hours lost
to her
surroundings.
She came out
speaking in
one of the
most
beautiful
tongues I
ever heard.
She had been
in heaven
and had
wonderful
things to
tell of her
experiences
there.
We
needed no
other
advertising;
they packed
the house,
standing
room and
all, and
filled the
street
outside. For
8 weeks the
tide ran
high. From
75-100 were
saved and an
equal number
received the
Pentecostal
baptism, so
wonderfully
God
wrought.'
According to
Scull, 'a
great number
of people
were healed
of all
manner of
diseases and
infirmities;
and Phoenix,
then a small
town, was
profoundly
moved. Our
halls were
filled with
sinners and
our altars
drew many to
seek the
Lord.' These
spiritual
victories
brought
opposition.
Scull wrote,
'Friends
whom I had
thought be
tried and
true,
refused even
to shake
hands with
me. The
Methodist
church, of
which I was
an official
member,
being an
ordained
elder,
dropped me
from its
membership...we
were egged
at the altar
and had to
put heavy
screen wire
over the
windows to
keep from
being maimed
or killed by
rocks
weighing 4-5
pounds which
were thrown
through the
windows. But
the power
and glory of
God made
these things
seem of
small
concern.'
What can
later
generations
learn from
Pentecostals
from 100
years ago?
Writing 40
years after
the Azusa
Street
Revival,
Scull warned
that the
church will
lose its
'glory and
power'
unless it
gets a
'vision of a
mightier
Pentecost'
and prays
for a 'fresh
outpouring
of the Holy
Spirit.'

"Everything is available, but nothing is automatic. You have to receive it.
Salvation is available,
but to benefit from it you have receive Christ into your life as Lord. Healing
is available
but you have to receive Jesus the Healer. If you don’t believe in healing then
you won't get healed.
My little daughter, Faith, was saved when she was 4. She was hungry for God and
wanted to speak in tongues.
One night 2 angels came and took her
to heaven; they took her around and then
brought her to Jesus.
Jesus spoke to her and baptized her in the Holy Spirit and she came back
speaking in tongues.
Even a little child can ask.
They don’t have a baby Holy Spirit.
When I got baptized in the Holy Spirit,
I found out then I could get healed. It took me a little while to figure
out how to get healed,
as everything up to that point had been in my head. I had loads of great
theology,
but God sent and angel he helped me get into a place to RECEIVE the healing I
needed.
Account is in my book, Angels Watching Over You...
A friend of mine, Bunty, a missionary who had done many missions in
Africa)...told me that when they
baptize the (African/orphan) children they have to have men standing around to
dive into the water
after the kids, because the water spirits they have inherited will try & take
them to the lake bottom.” Walters, Kathie

Baptism, Healing and Deliverance - Scripture says,
"The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a promise to receive, for He is the
Baptizer in the Holy Spirit. The promise is unto you and to your children
and those afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
That's YOU isn't it? You are called and you have a marvelous destiny.
All of these wonderful things Jesus made available when He rose again and sat
down at the Father's right hand. But you see, everything is available, but
nothing is automatic.
You have to receive it! Salvation is available, but to benefit from it you have
to receive Christ into your life as Lord. Healing is available but you have to
receive Jesus, the Healer. My daughter, Faith, was saved when she was 4.
She was hungry for God and wanted to speak in tongues. One night 2 angels came
and took her to Heaven; they took her around and then brought her to Jesus.
Jesus spoke to her and baptized her in the
Holy Spirit and she came back speaking in tongues. Even a little child can
ask. They don't have a baby Holy Spirit.
When I got baptized in the Holy Spirit, I found out that I could get healed. It
took me a little while to figure out how to get healed, as everything up to that
point had been only
in my head. I had loads of great theology, but God sent an angel and He helped
me get into a place to RECEIVE the healing I needed.
But then the biggest thing that made the most difference to me was when I found
out about DELIVERANCE. He is the Deliverer. A Deliverer came. It never
entered my head
that there could actually be demons affecting my life, because I assumed that
side of things wasn't real and didn't affect me. I thought I had some
personality problems
and I wrestled with those things as a Christian, but that's the way it was.
So now deliverance. I thought, "What have we here?" We got thrown into the deep
end when we came into the realm of the Holy Spirit. The day after we were filled
with the Holy Spirit, the people who brought us in kind of tossed us into a room
full of people and said, "Pray for those people to prophesy." "What's that?" we
asked, but they didn't have time
to tell us. So we did as we were asked and that's how we learned."

Praying in tongues builds us up on our most holy
faith. How many times have you needed your most holy faith to take you through a
certain trial, and yet you haven’t used this gift of the Holy Spirit? Verse 21
also says we keep ourselves in the love of God when we speak in tongues. Have
you ever asked the Lord to pour out His love on you? I imagine you have, but
this doesn’t say to pray that way; it says we are to keep ourselves in the love
of God. We do that by speaking in tongues. We don’t ask God for that which He’s
already given,
we simply stir up the love that has already been commended toward
us, by speaking in tongues. This is a powerful gift. Isaiah 28:11-12
says, 'For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this
people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to
rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.'
Do you ever need rest or refreshing? I guarantee that you do; this verse
says speaking in tongues is the way to get it. We have a tremendously
powerful gift available to us
through the Holy Spirit, but few people take
advantage of it. Instead, we ask God to do what He told us to do. We need
to use this gift of speaking in tongues to stir ourselves up, or we risk
sinking to the bottom." Wommack, Andrew
-
http://www.awmi.net/extra/article/flow_gifts "Praying in tongues...
We don't have to wait for the anointing of the Holy Spirit to come on us to
speak in tongues. We can pray in tongues at any time. It's not us turning on the
Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is always on and giving us the ability to speak in
tongues. Therefore, whenever we turn ourselves on, the gift of tongues is there
to allow us to communicate with our heavenly Father. Praise the Lord! That's the
way it is with all the gifts." Wommack, Andrew
- 11/23/2016 - Those who have invited Yeshua to forgive their sins
and be their savior and Lord have become sons/heirs of all that He provided at
His death and resurrection; however it takes Holy Spirit baptism to release that
inheritance (healing/ deliverance/blessings/curse reversal).

(edited) KEVIN:
He said, "If you will pray
in the spirit (tongues) and bring out the depths
and the mysteries of God out into this realm," that the spiritual realm
would become so close to me that I'd begin to operate in the spiritual realm
here on earth. SID: The council room in
heaven. Explain that to me.
KEVIN: I was surprised at how intricate and organized heaven is, and
I was really
intrigued by God's order. He has a government. It's called the Kingdom of God.
He has books that are written about every individual person and they are
available to the angels that are assigned to each person. Those angels look at
those books. They're briefed. Decisions are made on who would influence of group of people, and those angels
go to work in bringing the truth to those people and helping them to get other
people involved and walking in the spirit with God. KEVIN: The most serious asset
or liability that we have is our own will. I know that God loves us, but he has
to get that across to us. We have to have revelation from the spirit
of God, and many people don't have the revelation of God's love and his concern
for us or his plan for us, but these books are full of pages that Jesus said
some of them will never be opened, because people don't yield to the spirit and
they don't give their will over.
There is a walking in the spirit that requires you to hand your life over and
carry your own cross, and Jesus wanted everyone to know this, that there is
power available,
but it's going to be by you losing and him gaining you.
SID: Is Jesus sad that most believers have all these wonderful,
amazing exploits that God has for them, and it's all written, and he's doing
everything he can to get you to do it, and you're not doing it. I bet
he's pretty sad over that.
KEVIN: He said, "You've got to teach people to
receive from Me. I want to bless them.
I want to bless them." KEVIN: The turning over of
your will to the Almighty God (is part of receiving His blessing). KEVIN: Instantly He said, "I'm
going to show you how powerful your prayers are, Kevin." He took me and we
went to a place in the United States that I recognized as New Mexico.
I was
standing on this mountain right above the missile range out there,
the test facility.
I recognized it, because I fly over it a lot. As we were
standing there,
He said, "Start praying, Kevin,in the spirit
(tongues)."
KEVIN: I yielded and started praying in the spirit.
As I did, He
pointed and said, "Now watch."
KEVIN: I saw the explosion. It looked like the atomic bomb detonation
that had gone
off in the 40s. It started to explode and this big plume went
straight up into the air.
It was all red and powerful. The Lord said, "Most
Christians are looking for the spectacular. They look at this cloud, but the
supernatural is the shock wave that's traveling along the ground."
KEVIN: I saw this shock wave go out about 30 miles. It was
knocking everything over.
He said, "See, Kevin, when
you pray (especially in tongues) your prayers are effective, and it's moving mountains out of the way.
You should never give up. You should always pray."
KEVIN: I realize that people were looking for a sign of some sort,
a manifestation that it was working.
I, also, knew that there was demonic activity that would stop people from
praying.
They would actually feel depressed. It would not even be them (but rather
spiritual, relational or nutritional interference). They would have chemical
imbalances in their body, but it was from the outside (spiritual oppression or
environmental pollution).
They were being influenced (by the medical
establishment and demons) to think that
there was a (medical or emotional)
problem. They would stop praying. There
were things (distractions/ discouragements) that would happen that would stop them from praying.
The Lord said,
"You should never give up praying, because (so)
you will get your answer"

"A friend of mine was in Bolivia to where they
were being taught about the power of praying in the Holy Spirit, praying in this
language. He was a worker, he was a farmer and one day his co-worker didn't come
to work. He went to his house at the end of the day, began to smell a stench
from his room. Walked in the door and his friend had hung himself...
All he knew was this language. He took him down from the rope and laid him on
the ground, and began to pray in this language for hours and hours, and hours.
After so many hours a praise came out of him, 'Jesus, I thank you that you are
alive. Jesus, I thank you that you are alive.' After a while the friend sat up.
He still wasn't breathing, but he began to sit up, and the guy continued to pray
in the language. After so many hours, the man received breath again, received
life again, got saved, met the Holy Spirit and began to
pray in the language
himself. And it was by that simple farmer that took God at His word and
created that atmosphere of resurrection...
Just recently my 12-year-old had a 105 temperature. We couldn't believe it.
We
didn't know what we were going to do. And I just knew, I'm going to pray in this
language. It's what I've done in 15 years. We're going to do it again. I said,
'Honey,
lay down.' And for about 20 to 30 minutes I just began to pray in this
language.
The atmosphere began to shift. After about 20, 25 minutes
literally the fever began to
lift off of her. She says, 'Daddy, I'm feeling
better right now.' Within 10-15 minutes it
was completely off of her
and she was completely back to herself. She literally sweated
out right there.
(When you speak in supernatural language,) It changes the
atmosphere...around my house...around my life. When there's strife, confusion,
when there's depression, oppression, weariness, whenever I begin to pray in this
language the atmosphere shifts and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks in, and it
brings Divine Order. It's peace, joy and righteousness in the Holy Spirit...
The Kingdom of Heaven works by faith. Everything in the Kingdom works by faith.
God has a part and you have a part. He does His part and you do your part. He
won't do your part either and you can't do His...When you begin to sense the
welling up of the Holy Spirit it's at that moment where I encourage you, begin
to step out and begin to speak as the spirit gives you utterance. As the spirit
gives you utterance just step out...wherever you're at step and begin to jump
out. And it's when you do that it may be one syllable.
It may be a whole bunch
of syllables. But continually say it over and over again...
I want to speak to the other group who 'received the gift' (of the Holy Spirit
baptism)...Take the (honor) badge (and) throw it in the trash.
(We want You Lord alone to get all the glory.)
Let's begin to ask God for a fresh filling. Ephesians 5 says, 'Go on being
filled with the Holy Spirit.' NOT a one time encounter, but an ongoing,
every increasing encounter that opens up the doorway into the supernatural.
So all of you (both groups) right now just open up your hands like you're
receiving a gift...
Repeat this...simple prayer...to a good Father. Just close your eyes and
just say,
'Father, In the name of Yeshua, I ask You to fill me
with the Holy Spirit from the top
of my head to the bottom of my feet. I
want to speak in supernatural language.
I want to prophesy. I want
everything that You died for. So Father right
now fill me.
(I receive and thank You.) In the name of Yeshua.
Amen...
Paul tells us in 1st Corinthians 14, he says that, 'When I speak in this
language,' he goes, 'I'm not speaking to men, I'm not speaking to devils, but
I'm speaking straight TO the throne room of God.' I have a spirit to
Spirit contact and connect with the Father of Glory, the President of the
Universe. I have a direct phone line by my spirit to His...
When I pray in this
language I'm talking directly TO Him. That's Number 1.
Number 2, the Bible says
that we speak mysteries out of our spirit straight to God.
These mysteries are
hidden truths, not hidden from us, but hidden for us. Truths about God, truths
about who He is and what He's like, and what He's doing, and how He feels,
truths about us, truths about who we are to Him, about our destiny. I believe
that when I’m praying in this language.
I'm prophesying my (and others') Divine
destiny."

Hearing the Voice of God - 2011 -
http://www.richvera.com/index.html - Preface
of broadcast:
Always, always, always pray in tongues; praying in tongues is vital to one's
connection to God. We are praying His will in our lives in a language
which Satan cannot understand or sabotage. Praying in tongues brings down
God's mind into our situation. We must seek and request to pray in tongues
as one of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit. We must pursue God's fruit in
our lives. Tongues must be exercised often in order to yield God's gifts
and fruit.
They would have chemical imbalances in their
body, but it was from the outside.
They were being influenced to think that there was a (medical) problem, so
they would stop praying. There were things that would happen that
would stop them from praying (especially in tongues). The Lord said, "You
should never give up praying (especially in tongues)
because you will get your answer."
Sid: One of the most exciting
things that Kevin came back with is what the Bible says, "You shall be
baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire." Most believers
haven' t received
kthis fire. Do you realize that when you have this fire the devil
can't come near you.

why-god-needs-us-to-pray-message-by-billye-brim-gloria-copeland/ summary
regarding
http://www.kcm.org/watch/tv-broadcast/why-god-needs-us-pray?
"God needs a body in the earth, speaking words that He can clothe with reality.
Just like we see the law of creation at work in Genesis 1:2 when the Holy Spirit
was hovering, waiting for God’s words, the Holy Spirit is hovering over us,
waiting for us to speak God’s words so He can bring about His will in the earth.
God has called us to set aside a time every day to pray in the Spirit. We
each have a body, a badge of authority, and our part is to present that to Him.
The Holy Spirit gives
us the utterance, we use our tongues to speak it, and then He will bring it
about.
If we’re going to pray in the end of days, we need to know about the authority
that we have in prayer. When Jesus was raised, we were raised with Him, seated
at the right hand of the Father, and given all *authority in the earth. As
members of the body of Christ who have the privilege of living in the end of
days, God needs us to take that authority and
say what God has for us to say." *(We receive our spiritual inheritance
when we become
of age: repent, acknowledge Jesus as savior, Lord and baptizer in Holy Spirit +
begin
to enforce our spiritual legal rights, in Jesus' name. God's power is not
so much what we believe, but rather what we DO with & ACT on what we believe.)
Brown, Tom -
http://www.tbm.org/tongues.htm
"The Apostle Paul writes, 'He who speaks in tongues
edifies himself...I would like every one of you to speak in tongues.' (1
Corinthians 14:4,5)...Where does tongues come from? It comes from Heaven!
Tongues is the heavenly language. It is what is spoken in heaven; the only
difference is that the people in heaven understand what they are saying. Here on
earth Paul says, "For anyone who speaks in tongues does not speak to men but to
God. Indeed, no one understand him; he utters mysteries with his spirit" (v. 2).
Jesus says that those who believe in Him will 'speak in
new tongues' (Mark 16:17). The word 'new' means appearing for the first
time. No one had spoken these languages before. Contrary to bad theology tongues
is not an ability given to preach the gospel in the language of foreigners. This
would make tongues 'old' languages. It is only appropriate that 'new tongues'
should be spoken by those of the 'new birth.' It is natural and normal
to speak
in the language of your birth. We are born again from above; therefore we should
speak the language from above-that language is called 'new tongues'...
Theologians often confuse the baptism in the Holy Spirit with salvation (often
depriving themselves and their congregations of the provisions, inheritances,
blessings, miracles, healings, and deliverances Jesus provided by His death and
ascension into heaven. Jesus did not keep some back for Himself. He
gave us all He had, up front. Do not take half a loaf when you could have
had a whole loaf. Do not short change yourself here on earth, and kick
yourself when you get to heaven, with I should have.).
They (theologians) often regard these 2 experiences as being the same. This
confuses believers. They incorrectly assume that salvation is the same as the
baptism in the Holy Spirit. The Bible does not teach this. The Bible clearly
teaches that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from
salvation and comes after a person is saved, although it can occur at the time
of salvation...(see Acts 8:5-25)...(see Acts 19:1-7)...Paul asked the question, 'Did you receive the Holy
Spirit when you believed'...
The physical proof of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is the same evidence that
the disciples had: speaking in tongues. You may have other evidences as well,
but the one evidence (from Tom Brown's understanding of Scripture + his personal
experience is that) you
should have is speaking in tongues. There are 5
examples in the Bible of people receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit (see
Acts 2:4; 8:17; 9:17;
10:44; 19:6)...I encourage you to seek the scriptural evidence of the
baptism in the Holy Spirit,
and to settle for nothing but the best."

- The purpose of the Holy Spirit baptism is to do spiritual warfare in the dark
places and to snatch captives out. The Bible says to prove God, that He might
outshine/glorify Himself. Remember to journal/record/date what the Lord
reveals/hints/impresses upon you, even if it is bits and pieces.
If/when you meet the spiritual enemy over a city and he reveals his plans,
you reveal God's plans. Perhaps the Lord will tell you to go and break his
power.
You can pray and lift another's burden off.

Intimacy with God #3.3 - 9/11/2009
http://www.bennyhinn.org/media/2009-9-11.asx - In our prayer relationship with God,
there is the outer
court, where the flesh is self-centered.
2nd, there
is the inner court where we wait for God (like those in a doctor's outside
waiting room)
and pray in tongues. 3rd, there is the holy of holies
where God, not us, speaks.
Incidentally,
there are 3 types of tongues, according to Benny Hinn.
There is also a difference between
praying with tongues and in tongues.
Perhaps one difference is our spirit praying vs the Holy
Spirit praying?
Jesus prays/intercedes for us to enter into the Holy of Holies, whereas,
the
Holy Spirit inside us prays/intercedes for the Mind of Christ to be formed in us
and for His plans to be worked out through our obedience/lives/flesh.

“Passive protection:
Numbers 23:18-24, vs.22 - horns of the wild ox,
Zachariah 2:4 – wall of fire,
Psalms 34:7 – angel of the Lord encamped, Ecclesiastes 12:1-7...
We enhance this protection...by exercising spiritual authority over
ourselves...
the perimeter of God’s hedge of protection. We need to identify our
‘horns’ and enhance them. He gives us 5 points he took from Chris Simpson’s book
Keeping Demons Out Once They Are Cast Out which are also used to enforce
a powerful Christian walk:
1) disciplined prayer life 2) build a fasting regimen
3) fall in love with the Word of God
4) eliminate mind junk 5) keep short
accounts...
You can always...speak in tongues which will expand your spiritual
perimeter. Tongues can help us seal off a major in-road to the
devil...Only through the Spirit do we have any hope of controlling the soul."

"Wigglesworth’s pattern of
speaking (from the pulpit during a sermon delivery) brief messages in tongues
and interpreting them was common also in the ministry of the Goodwins.
http://brothermel.com/befilledwiththespirit.aspx
It was the usual order of things for Brother Goodwin to pause, perhaps even
several times, during his sermon. Oftentimes, Sister Goodwin would be inspired
of the Holy Spirit to suddenly speak a message in tongues varying in length from
an apparent sentence or 2 to perhaps 1 that would be of about a paragraph in length. Brother
Goodwin would listen and immediately interpret the message. Sometimes
Sister Goodwin would give perhaps several brief messages, which Brother Goodwin
would interpret.
This was both amazing and inspiring to see and hear...
They came into this anointing independently of other ministers, receiving it
directly from the Lord. (Nonetheless, Wigglesworth DID encounter the
Goodwins before the inception
of their ministry, so this gift could have been
conferred/deposited/confirmed/initiated/ triggered, at least indirectly. "Wigglesworth looked directly at
J.R.
Goodwin and said, 'You're called to the ministry.' Brother Goodwin replied, 'I
know it. I'm making preparations for it now.' Wigglesworth said, 'OK,' and moved
to the next people in line.") Sister Goodwin told many times the story of how she and her husband were led
super-naturally to attend an Assemblies of God church. In the middle of the
night, an angel smote the bottom of her feet, waking her up. He smote her feet
again, and pulled her
feet in the direction of a particular Spirit-filled
church. She and Brother Goodwin believed this was a direction from the Lord that
they were to go to that church. At this church,
Brother and Sister Goodwin were
filled with the (Holy) Spirit and spoke in tongues."
http://brothermel.com/jrgcfni11071afternoon.aspx ...
"At the end of our visit, Sister
Goodwin laid her hands on me and prayed for me
(Dr.
Stanley Horton). She asked the Lord to use me in spiritual gifts. I
took my leave of her...Approximately 4 months later
on August 1, 1989, the Lord answered her prayer...
I stepped up onto the
sidewalk, and was instantly caught up in a vision. I saw my life up to that
point, and I knew God was imparting something to me in that vision. (I
tell the account at length elsewhere). A few seconds later when I came out of
the vision, I entered my home...Words in other tongues began flowing out of my
mouth. I had spoken and prayed in tongues for 8 years previous to that day. But
this was not my prayer language.
I knew this was a message in tongues
that was to be interpreted. The second I
finished speaking out the message in tongues of about a sentence or 2 in length, immediately I spoke out the
interpretation. Also, within the 1st 3 or 4 messages in tongues, I found my
hands wanting to move in certain directions and communicate also through
gestures. It was all automatic and flowed smoothly. In the 20 years that have
passed since that day,
I have given thousands of messages in tongues and
interpreted them. Some of the messages had gestures and actions that seemed to
naturally flow
along with the message. Some had no gestures or movements.
It is hard for me to
put into words what this process feels like as the Holy
Spirit is flowing through me.
It frequently comes very suddenly with me sensing
the presence of the message in
tongues in my spirit for only a second or 2
before I yield to the Holy Spirit and give it.
I have the ability to give the
message, or to withhold it. I usually go ahead and give it, unless my giving of
a message in tongues would be disruptive or would interfere with the flow of the
service. In such cases, I hold the message in tongues until an appropriate
opportunity presents itself. If no such opportunity comes, the message in
tongues seems to fade from my spirit within an hour or so...
I saw a vision of a woman making a meal for her
husband. The husband took the meal,
and walked off and left her standing there.
The Lord asked me, 'If you saw this,
would you praise it?
Would this be right in your eyes?' I replied, 'No, Lord! This would
be an awful thing.' He answered back to me, 'This is
exactly what My people are doing to Me. They take
My spiritual gifts, go off by themselves,
and think they can operate My gifts without Me.'
Grief came into my spirit. I knew the Lord was showing me this because He wanted
to give it out as a prophetic parable through me...We
rode to the service in silence.
I knew that I needed to stay focused on what the
Lord wanted to do in the service
so that I didn’t lose the anointing."

Schitter, Sieglinde- from Austria is a Dr. of Psychology.
http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=3B007F0K&GroupID=BA007I8S&print=1
"I was heading to a Psychology seminar, from Austria to Croatia, and I
didn't want to go because I was sick with the flu, but God spoke and said He
wants me to go;
so a girl friend of mine brought her car and she drove me to the
seminar in Croatia.
We were the only Christians, all the others were New Age people.
The next morning when the seminar started I woke up and I was not ill anymore.
I
was so happy and the day was so beautiful so I walked out and walked through the
field and because I was so happy and thankful that I was not sick anymore.
I started to praise Jesus in tongues about a half an hour just
walking in the sunshine praising singing in the Spirit.
Then I came back at the breakfast table and all the other people said,
'Oh you
are not sick anymore?', 'No I am healthy today!'
So they said, 'Why are you so glowing? You are glowing and so shiny?'
Perhaps it is because I was walking in the field and I was praising God in
tongues.
The New Age people said, 'Oh why I have never heard about this, what
is it?'
I told them briefly about 20 years ago I asked Jesus to come into my heart.
I got the gift of the Holy Spirit and I started praying in tongues.
I can speak in tongues or sing in tongues and that is what
that is.
(Oh I forgot to tell that on the field when I was praising I saw poppy flowers
and I picked a poppy and put it into my lapel close to my heart) and the New Age
people said ,'Oh that flower is so beautiful, where did you get it?' 'Oh it is
on the field.'
So one of the girls had the idea and went and picked for everyone in the
seminar,
a Poppy flower. Everyone placed their Poppy flower in a vase when I
came in
and saw this I also put my Poppy flower in the vase.
Everyone said, 'Oh look your Poppy flower has a different color.
Yours has a
dark red and ours has a light red.'
I had put my flower in the middle for I was the last one to place mine in the
vase.
And then the seminar started, and at the end of the day, we looked at the
flowers and it was very interesting because all the Poppys were wilted, except
mine. So in the midst of all the wilted Poppy’s my flower was standing straight
up to heaven and it had all its leaves on it just glowing, so everyone said, "
Oh look that is Sieglinde's Poppy flower,
we know it because it is dark red and
it is in the middle, and I said, 'Oh I don't understand why is my Poppy flower
straight and not wilted.?' The New Age people said, 'Oh that is very clear, it’s
straight and not wilted because it was on your heart, and you have Jesus in your
heart. When it came in contact with the energy of Jesus and this is a powerful
energy.' I was surprised myself to hear this answer.
The seminar was going on for 3 days and on the 3rd day it was still the same
thing,
all the flowers had wilted but not mine, mine was still straight and
shiny with three leaves pointed upward toward heaven and 2 pointed downward
toward the other Poppy flowers.
So the New Age people said, 'Oh we would like to have a picture of Sieglinde and
all the Poppy flowers.'
We took a picture and it was one we could view immediately and we all looked at
the picture . The interesting thing was that on the picture you could see in the
picture a huge 'J' in gold sparkles it was not in reality, it was only in the
picture. It was very clear.
I said, 'Oh what is that on my chest?' The New age people said, 'That is a "J"
in gold so that means Jesus wants to give us a message. Jesus wants to show us
something through you to show us that He is real and to give us a message.'
When they said this, the Holy Spirit fell on me and God spoke to my heart and
said to stand up and sing in tongues in your heavenly language.
I didn't dare to because I had to ask the leader of the seminar I told her I
have an impression to stand up and sing in tongues and she said, 'Alright
just stand up and do it.'
The New Age people said again, 'Jesus wants to give us a message through
Sieglinde.'
I stood up and the Holy Spirit fell on me again so I started to
sing in tongues for about 10 minutes.
When I opened my eyes I looked for where the people were, I could see them all
on the floor they all fell on the floor with their faces on the floor, some were
weeping or crying some were laughing. Afterwards I had a prophecy for
them and then I was on the floor with my face on the floor along with them. We
stayed on the floor for some time.
Later the New Age people told me some saw Jesus; some heard Him speaking to
their heart; everyone had a visitation of Jesus Christ.
They said, 'We want to come to your school in the Fall because where you
are Jesus is also.'
I said, 'But it is a psychology school not a spiritual school,'
but they didn’t
care as long as I promised to sing in the heavenly language.
That is wonderful how God touches those who are not even looking out for Him but
in their heart they are hungry.

12/12/2010 Daystar broadcast - Schneider (a rabbi who speaks in unknown tongues)
mentions that his understanding of tongues at the original Pentecost was
speaking in "known" tongues (languages understood by other nationalities). Thus he seems to indicate that private speaking in tongues is good, but not a
sign of the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

anointing of God from Rufus
Dumford my Uncle the Holy Ghost filled man. See, that’s what he would
have done had he been there. I just feel that boldness I wanted to pray for this
man for this blind eye. God did this outstanding miracle for him.
Sid: Now Uncle Rufus of course had this gift of diverse tongues;
he could speak in different languages (under the anointing of the Holy Spirit).
He only had a 3rd grade education, but you have this gift too.

Born-again Christians not only need the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the

use/length/frequency/tenacity of it, in order to withstand/reverse future
demonic assaults.

the Lord spoke to him...about a month before he passed,
that in
the last days as we come closer to the time of the end, believers were
going to come under a stress, a lot of Satanic temptation. and...some of
this will be temptations that people have never dealt with, he said,
godly people, he said some will be sexual temptations with thoughts in
their mind to do things that they've never thought of doing. He said, he
was crying when he told me this. He said, "Please tell them that
the Lord said they have to pray excessively in the
Holy Spirit. They have to use the prayer language of the Spirit, and
when they're under temptation, don't try to fight it by rebuking it in
your natural tongue. Fight it by praying heavy in the Spirit of God to
get your mind renewed." That was one of the last things he said.
SID: I have to tell you, Perry, I
feel like I don't want to go out in the world unless I've prayed for
about an hour in tongues. I've been doing this now for the last few
years,
and I've been urging everyone else. Stone, Perry -
http://mysolutionsmagazine.com/the-bypass-of-the-holy-spirit/
7/8/2017 PERRY: Being raised in a Full Gospel minister’s home by a father
who was an anointed preacher and diligent prayer warrior who spent
practically every day, at some point,
praying in the prayer language of the Holy Spirit, it was never
difficult for me to believe
in or accept the supernatural power of God as a vital part of our
spiritual lives. PERRY: I once asked him when or where he had learned to pray with
such an anointing and why he prayed so much in the prayer language of
the Holy Spirit (called speaking in unknown or other
tongues, meaning a language not known to the speaker – Acts 2:1-4;
10:46; 19:6; 1 Corinthians 14:8). Dad said that he learned the
importance of praying in
the Spirit when ministering and praying with his Uncle Rufus Dunford,
a man who operated in the gift of divers tongues and interpretation (see
1 Corinthians 14).
When Dad and Rufus prayed, they often interceded for at least one hour
and much of the prayer was praying in the Holy Spirit. Both Dad and
Rufus noted the passage in Jude which read, “But you, beloved,
building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
Spirit” (Jude 20). The Bypass of the Holy Spirit - When a believer
prays in their native tongue, such as English, the human intellect
can build a wall of unbelief, especially when a person is praying
over what seems to be an impossible situation. When we pray for
situations that are not complicated or in need of miraculous
intervention, it is easy to pray and believe. But when special
intervention is required or physical healing appears impossible,
the voice of the human inner conscience can whisper, “This can’t
happen!
You know people die when they are struck with this disease.
The doctor has already given up on them and healing is impossible!” To bypass unbelief, God has provided the avenue of the Holy
Spirit in which to release prayers that are spoken directly to God out
of your spirit through the language of God.
By praying in the Spirit, Paul informs us that “our understanding is
unfruitful”
(1 Corinthians 14:14). The Greek word unfruitful here is
arkarpos, which means to be barren, meaning that when you
are praying in the Holy Spirit, there is no interrupting barrier being
created by your human intellect.
Since age 11, I have been baptized in the Holy Spirit and have
exercised this gift when praying in “unknown” or “other” tongues
(the prayer language assigned to me by the Holy Spirit”.
In my earlier ministry, when local church revivals would extend for many
weeks, I would spend the greater part of the afternoon prior to each
service in prayer. During those seasons of intense intercession, I would
pray with my understanding, then pray in the Spirit, then return back to
my understanding. I began to observe that the revelation the Lord
would give me concerning the nightly message often came after praying in
the Spirit. This is because the Holy Spirit knows the mind of God
(Roman 8:26-28).
When we pray in the Spirit we are speaking spiritual mysteries (1 Cor.
14:4) that can be interpreted back to our minds for our understanding.
Thus, we can all tap into the will of God when praying in the Spirit.
The phrase “building up yourselves” (Jude 20) is a Greek phrase
referring to building a building upon a foundation. The
cornerstone of our foundation is laid the moment we receive Christ
as our Redeemer and Savior. Christ is the chief cornerstone (1
Pet. 2:6), and we are lively stones built upon a spiritual house
to offer up spiritual sacrifices
(1 Peter 2:5). By praying in the prayer language of the Holy Spirit, we
are building
a spiritual house, with the doctrine of Christ and the Apostles as
the foundation.
As we grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ, we build the house: the
bedroom of intimate prayer; the kitchen of feeding
from the Word, the living room of fellowship with believers,
and the private study of revelation of the Word.
Previous generations in the Pentecostal and Full-Gospel congregations
emphasized the importance of being filled with the Spirit, teaching that
once a person was converted to Christ they should immediately seek
the infilling of God’s power through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The danger today is that conversion to Christ has become a ritual.
Some churches seldom, if ever, have a service in which they pray for
those desiring the infilling of the Holy Spirit. One reason is the fear
of emotionalism or someone getting
“out of order” and offending the others. Our ministry, however, has seen
over 100,000 individuals from all denominations baptized in the Holy
Spirit. One of my first messages
at age 17 was on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. After almost 37 years of
ministry,
I have observed that amazing transformation and higher levels of faith
and joy follow the spiritual truth that accompanies the infilling of the
Holy Spirit.

is tongues so powerful and what does making these weird one syllable sounds have

(Deliberate praying in tongues takes focus/determination in order for the
human spirit to overrule the soul/mind/emotions/will/human-nature/flesh, just
like fasting or praying, especially for extended periods/minutes/hours/days!
Persistence brings supremacy of the Holy Spirit over the wiles of the evil
spirit in our lives, especially as tongues/fasting/prayer becomes a lifestyle.
We break through that hymen/veil/into a holier place. Bottom line - Do NOT
quit, nor be discouraged; instead be like the turtle who persists past the

Broadcasts
Getting out/retrieving God's goodness and revelation is like drilling for oil.
We pray/sing/speak in tongues as a method of drilling for His treasures.
COMMENTARY
God the Father has flesh/Christ/the Word and a spirit, the Holy Spirit.
His bride the church/individuals likewise is dead like a beloved mate/corpse in
the casket, unless she has life/blood/spirit surging through her flesh on earth.
That is why speaking daily in tongues seems to be so important. It is His
breath surging through our lungs
and out our mouths. Sort of like the
Bible being a dead man without a living Spirit.
Both the Bible and
individuals are dead flesh without His life/Spirit surging through us.
To
bless us individually but also to bless others.
In this generation many respected main line fundamentalist
churches have forbidden and warned their members not to speak in tongues or be
associated with those who do, because of danger of being contaminated by Satan
who can speak in tongues. Yes, Satan and his kingdom can speak in tongues,
but such is only mimicking of what the Holy Spirit does in and through His
kingdom kids. Satan is a copy cat. Never let fear, ignorance,
tradition, or church dogma be your boss; you may lose out on what Father God has
given you an an inheritance in Jesus Christ. Be sure to have read the
Bible from beginning to end, so that you will know what is in the "will" of
Jesus Christ.
Do not be ignorant of what He has left you. Claim your
inheritance!
Remember, God's actions (in large part) are through speech. God created
the world and it's contents + occupants through speech. After we are
(united to/with) born-again of His Spirit and have been prayed over/asked for
and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Spirit bubbles up/gives us
unction, to express His nature through our mouths
via speech or song. It
is His Holy Spirit inside of us dancing/trying to flow through us/springing up
as living water. God via His Holy Spirit wants in each generation to
continue to create/sing/speak through us. Let us allow Him to daily do His
work in and through us, especially via speaking in tongues. Our
spirit man is a replica of the human man. Allow it to function, with God
being the puppeteer, even of our mouths, voices, and words. God can and will do
through us what He did in and with Jesus when He was on the earth. Jesus,
God's Word/flesh, helped Father God to create the world. Likewise, we
flesh, will speak for God now while we are alive, as Christ did when He walked
the earth in the garment of flesh. That is, He will speak through us, if
we allow Him to do so, in each generation. WOW.
Each of us, each piece of creation, has a piece of God's DNA in us. It
yearns to express itself. It years to reunite with God. It is our
spiritual instinct. He is our spiritual root/origin. What all of
humanity is looking for is not self, but rather Papa God.
Our true identity/genealogy goes back to Father God. Our inner man cries
out to Him.
Another CAUTION. Some incorrectly
teach that because ancient Hebrew is God's original tongue, we also need to
speak Hebrew to improve our relationship with Him. Note that both Jesus
and His disciples spoke that language, but did not walk in the full liberty and
calling of God until the baptism of the Holy Spirit came with tongues, an
unknown &/or heavenly language. (Be reminded that Jesus and nothing else
qualifies us. Yes we can mature, evict inner demons, etc, but our being
born into and remaining in His kingdom is 24/7 Jesus the qualifier, not self.
If God wants or prefers that we converse in Hebrew or other "original/native"
language, then it is He who will enable/facilitate when we ask Him.)
DR. PETERSON, ORAL
ROBERTS UNIVERSITY BRAIN SURGEON, RAN A TEST WHICH PROVED THAT WHEN SPEAKING IN
TONGUES A PART OF THE BRAIN (1) LIGHTS UP THAT DOES NOT DO SO AT ANY OTHER TIME
and (2) RELEASES 2 CHEMICALS THAT BOOST THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.
N.Y. TIMES/WORLDNET and DAILY/DRUDGE REPORT that now there is neuroscience
to back up
THE PASSIONATE, RHYTHMIC, LANGUAGE of speaking (praying) in tongues.
RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA TOOK BRAIN IMAGES OF 5 WOMEN WHILE
THEY SPOKE IN TONGUES AND FOUND THAT THEIR FRONTAL LOBES (THE THINKING,
WILLFUL PART OF THE BRAIN THROUGH WHICH PEOPLE CONTROL WHAT THEY DO) WERE
RELATIVELY QUIET, AS WERE THE LANGUAGE CENTERS. THE REGIONS INVOLVED
IN MAINTAINING SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS WERE ACTIVE. THE WOMEN WERE NOT IN BLIND
TRANCES, AND IT WAS UNCLEAR WHICH REGION WAS DRIVING THE BEHAVIOR.
One ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL PSYCHIATRY RESEARCH notes that recent neuroimages
(TAKEN DURING THIS SPOKEN RELIGIOUS PRACTICE of speaking in unknown tongues)
PINPOINT THE MOST ACTIVE AREAS OF THE BRAIN.
"THE IMAGES SUPPORTED PEOPLE'S INTERPRETATION OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THE WAY
THEY DESCRIBE IT, AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE, IS THAT GOD IS TALKING THROUGH THEM,”
IN THE STUDY, RESEARCHERS USED IMAGING TECHNIQUES TO TRACK CHANGES IN BLOOD FLOW
IN EACH WOMAN'S BRAIN IN TWO CONDITIONS, ONCE AS SHE SANG A GOSPEL SONG AND
AGAIN WHILE SPEAKING IN TONGUES. BY COMPARING THE PATTERNS, THE RESEARCHERS
COULD PINPOINT BLOOD-FLOW PEAKS AND VALLEYS UNIQUE TO SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
CONTRARY TO WHAT MAY BE A COMMON PERCEPTION, STUDIES SUGGEST THAT (Christian)
PEOPLE WHO SPEAK IN TONGUES RARELY SUFFER FROM MENTAL PROBLEMS.
A RECENT STUDY OF NEARLY 1,000 EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS IN ENGLAND FOUND THAT
THOSE WHO ENGAGED IN THE PRACTICE WERE MORE EMOTIONALLY STABLE THAN THOSE WHO
DID NOT.
THE NEW FINDINGS CONTRASTED SHARPLY WITH IMAGES TAKEN OF OTHER SPIRITUALLY
INSPIRED MENTAL STATES LIKE MEDITATION, WHICH IS OFTEN A HIGHLY FOCUSED MENTAL
EXERCISE, ACTIVATING THE FRONTAL LOBES.
THE SCANS ALSO SHOWED A DIP IN THE ACTIVITY OF A REGION CALLED THE LEFT CAUDATE.
“THE FINDINGS FROM THE FRONTAL LOBES ARE VERY CLEAR, AND MAKE SENSE, BUT THE
CAUDATE IS USUALLY ACTIVE WHEN YOU HAVE POSITIVE AFFECT, PLEASURE, POSITIVE
EMOTIONS,” SAID, A PSYCHOLOGIST AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
“SO IT'S NOT SO CLEAR WHAT THAT FINDING SAYS” ABOUT SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
THE CAUDATE AREA IS ALSO INVOLVED IN MOTOR AND EMOTIONAL CONTROL, SO IT MAY BE
THAT PRACTITIONERS, WHILE MINDFUL OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES, NONETHELESS CEDE SOME
CONTROL OVER THEIR BODIES AND EMOTIONS.

"Dr. Carl
Peterson of O.R.U. in Tulsa, Oklahoma is a brain specialist and
was doing research on the relationship between the brain and praying or speaking
in tongues.
Some amazing things were discovered!!! Through research and
testing, Dr. Peterson found that as we pray in the Spirit or worship in the
Spirit (our heavenly language) there is activity that begins in the brain. As we
engage in our heavenly language, the brain releases 2 chemical secretions that
are directed into our immune systems giving a 35-40% boost in the immune system.
This promotes healing within our bodies. Amazingly, this secretion is triggered
from a part of the brain that has no other apparent activity in humans and we
don't use it. It is only activated by our Spirit-led prayer and Worship."

Matot -Vows, Oaths & Obligations - "Praying
in the Spirit increases a man’s magnetic field of influence and
increases your heart’s frequency. Praying in the Spirit is more than
just the evidence of the Spirit, praying in tongues activates the Spirit in
you. The human body has a magnetic field and frequency. Increase His
magnification and frequency in you; tune in and turn up the volume of His
voice. This increased sensitivity reveals heart issues when the husband (or
father) is present with his wife and family. Be sure to set aside time to be
around your family, not just time for activities, but time to cultivate the
relationships in your family. Praying in the Spirit increases your intuitive
sense of what is going on in the heart of your wife or daughter that needs to be
tenderly addressed.
Being in tune with their hearts; staying close, you will be
able to annul the things which may be harmful for your loved ones."

Pentecost
http://www.globalrestorationnetwork.net/id9.html
Pentecost (1st fruit offering Jewish/Hebrew feast - symbolizes Jesus being the 1st of many
spiritual sons; He was the Lamb sacrificed for our sins. Pentecost
(Pesach) is also when Jesus in His absence sent His Holy Spirit to earth.) is
actually a 50 day countdown from the time of sunrise on Easter Saturday (feast
of unleavened bread) preceded by the crucifixion 3 days prior (Passover - The
angel of death saw the blood of the Lamb
and passed over the first
born.)
Remember that Jewish Sabbaths begin at sundown the prior evening and end at
sundown the current evening. Jesus had to be taken off the cross and placed in a
tomb before sunset, the day of His death, according to Jewish law. He was
buried (in the tomb 3 evenings) but arose after sunrise on a Sabbath.
Our observing the above time table will contribute to our receiving our baptism
in the Holy Spirit, as did the disciples who waited on God as instructed by
Jesus.4/4/2009
Some synagogues practice a dollar a day contribution to the poor the 50 days
between the feast of unleavened bread and 1st fruits. As we repent [remove
all leaven (sin) just prior to Passover], tithe and pray each of these days, we
can anticipate the great forthcoming blessing from Father God (with the same
eagerness as an approaching arrival of a newborn baby after 9 months or a
wedding feast after the engagement has been announced).

- Jesus Appears to a
Frightened Little Girl - "I recently heard a marvelous testimony of a
mother in Russia during the communist era.
This testimony provides a modern-day example of the spiritual blessings that can
be accessed by getting over into the realm of God's Spirit through prayer.
This mother was a devout Christian who refused to embrace communism. Because
of this, the communist government took her children from her and put them in an
orphanage. Somehow the mother found out where the children were taken and
tried to visit them there. But when the government officials found out she knew
where her children were, they transferred the children to another orphanage in
an unknown location.
Now this poor mother couldn't see her children at all; she
didn't know where they were.
So she did the only thing she knew how to do in
this terrible situation; she got before the throne of grace and she prayed.
As the mother continued to pray for her children, at times she would see her
little 3-year-old daughter in the spirit.
Today this daughter says she can't remember ever hearing the name of Jesus
before she was taken to the orphanage. You see, her mother wasn't able to take
her children to
church in her early years. Parents who were caught taking their
children to church got in terrible trouble with the communist government.
Years passed, and the mother's children still lived in the orphanage.
But God
was at work in ways this mother couldn't know of, especially in the life of the
little daughter she kept seeing in the spirit realm.
When this daughter was about 7 years old, she and another little boy in the
orphanage decided they were going to escape, so they took off running down the
hall. A guard saw them and screamed at them to stop. The little boy stopped, but
when the terrorized girl kept running, the guard raised his gun and shot her in
the arm. The little girl was taken to a hospital for surgery on her injured arm.
As she lay in her hospital bed, Jesus suddenly appeared to her.
'Who are you?' she asked in fear. 'I am Jesus,' He
replied, 'and I've come to take care of you. I will take
care of you all your days.' With that, He disappeared.
The little girl came through her surgery fine and returned to the orphanage.
Then some friends of ours, a Pentecostal couple, recently adopted this Russian
girl and brought her to the United States. They are now in the process of
helping their adopted daughter find her biological mother.
Soon after the young girl arrived in the United States, her adoptive parents
took her to their church. When the congregation began singing about Jesus, she
asked them, 'Who is this Jesus? I met Him when I was 7 years old, but I've never
known anything about Him.
I want to meet your Jesus, whoever He is, because He
came to me when I was 7.'
That little girl met Jesus in a vision
because her mother diligently prayed in the spirit for her. Only God
knows what other miracles have occurred in the rest of the children's lives as a
result of her faithful prayers.
I'll tell you what; when you get over in the spirit, things happen! Supernatural
answers are brought into this natural realm, bringing victory and deliverance in
even the most difficult of situations! I could tell you story after story of
situations that were changed because of Christians who knew how to get over in
the spirit and find the answer they needed.
For every problem or need that
arises, there is absolutely no substitute for finding the place called in the
spirit! Source: A Place

"One day in Sunday service he got up from the back of the church and began to
walk down the isle and curse the pastor in fluent German, a language he had
never learned.
The pastor took authority over that (evil) spirit, saying,
'What’s your name' and 'You speak in English'. The spirit said. 'I’m one of the
6000 demons who lived in Hitler.'
They were all there; they (the church)
had to cast the legion out.
Here’s what happened. During High School as they began to study the
history or WWII That young man began to study the life of Adolph Hitler and read
his writings, really became transfixed by that man. Put up a huge poster in his
bedroom and just would gaze at that, worship and adore, till finally what he was
focused on, he connected with.
When connections came, snap! Activation. He
became possessed. That’s why the Bible talks so often about being careful about
what you put your eyes on, what you listen to, and what you speak. Because what
you behold you become. That’s why Job made a covenant with his eyes, he wasn’t
going to look at the wrong thing. This is (scriptural) truth." Allen, Bruce - Praying in Tongues -

Midnight Cry Ministry Tongues Should Be Testedhttp://midcry.org/tongtest.htm Cursing "In our prayer session
the spirit providing this gift was exposed as a demon.
A missionary
participating as an intercessor inquired if it would be possible to have the
interpretation of the words the demon kept the counselee speaking. When the
chairman commanded the tongues demon to interpret the line, the response was: 'I
hate you, hate you, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.' The victim was as shocked as the rest
of us." The Supernatural Can Be Tested "Many charismatics insist that everyone
filled with the Holy Spirit will speak in tongues. If this is the only way to
know certainly one has been filled, no wonder people become desperate for this
"evidence." One young man lay on the ground for hours earnestly pleading for
tongues. In another instance the subject had been urged by charismatic tutors to
keep repeating the word "Hallelujah" until he could break
out in tongues. In
both cases the subjects did acquire the coveted ability. Later testing, however,
revealed that in each case a demon had entered the victim and had imparted
the glossolalia. In the latter case the tongues demon was named Hallelujah." Testing Tongues "If a tongues gift is being supplied by one or more
demons,
Scripture gives full authority to cast them out (Mark 16:17). The victim
first should verbally renounce ground given to Satan through practicing a false
tongue and should declare his rejection of spirits inspiring a satanic gift. The
leader should order the demons to depart
to the abyss (cp. Luke 8:29, 31;
Revelation 9:1-3) and should retest to make certain they have actually departed.
In all of this God can grant "the power to discriminate between the true Spirit
and false spirits" (I Corinthians 12:10, Williams)."

(We do NOT agree with this video; nonetheless, it is a good reminder to test
EVERY spirit, especially those which would attempt to copy God's Holy Spirit.
Additionally do a routine self-exorcism after personal or group ministry.

"He did say, 'Some of their ways are a bit different.
As an example, they
write in tongues the same way we speak in tongues.'”
"In the midst of this spiritual ecstasy, 2 ladies came up to the table in
front of me and start writing in the spirit. It was more than I could handle and
I literally freaked out.
I went into a panic intercession, crying out to
God for fear that some demonic entity was
at work and might jump onto me. I was
in such a state of concern that the tears were streaming down my cheeks, and
then God spoke saying, 'It is of Me,
do not fear,'
and at the same time He imparted the
greatest measure of peace imaginable."

Holy Spirit Gifting of Speaking in
Unlearned Languages for Evangelization

"God said, 'If I would be faithful in fasting and praying, He would raise up
workers all over the world
in their own tongues.' He also gave me Mark 10:29-30 as a call to travel and do
exploits in His name.
I was shown many other things as I started my life with fastings and praying
like Paul. Many times
my fastings were from 3 days to a week and longer. In some of my fasts the Lord
gave me much
revelation concerning the time we live. In the beginning of my
Christian
experience, while on a
2-weeks’ fast, I cried and prayed until Jesus became so real that one night He
appeared in my room.
The room was all lighted up, brighter than the sun! Jesus stood at the foot of
my bed,
and around
Him was a light much brighter than the sun. This great experience was very
impressive and for a long
time I seemed to be walking on air. Shortly after that, while fasting 5 days,
the Lord filled me with a
peculiar experience. A missionary from Rome told me that I was speaking a
message, and glorifying
and praising the Lord in his Italian language. Yet I had never spoken Italian
before.
It must have been the Holy Spirit talking The missionary interpreted what I was
saying
into English."

WARFARE through
PRAYING in TONGUES
Dr. Bern Zumpano, Former Adjunct Assistant
Professor of Psychiatry and Professor of Neurosurgery (retired),
Oral Roberts
University School of Medicine, Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - 1999 -

"Praying
in "tongues" comes from the Holy Spirit through the Baptism-in-the Holy Spirit.,
It must be asked for. (Lk. 11: 10- 13). A Christian believer must first be
born-again and seek to obtain the Holy Spirit baptism, believing, without doubt,
that the Holy Spirit will give the real thing, and that he/she will not receive
a counterfeit. The believer must EXPECT to receive it, by ASKING and by FAITH,
in Jesus’ Name. According to the Book of Acts, the Holy Spirit Baptism was
IMPARTED to believers by those who already had it, through the
laying-on-of-hands. The nine-gifts of the Holy Spirit are received (I Cor. 12),
one of which is a heavenly language called 'tongues'.
There are 2 types of 'tongues'. 'Gift of tongues' manifests only in the
congregation or assembly of the brethren, and, usually, when it manifests, the
interpretation of what is being said will be placed on the heart of another
believer who is present, or the person speaking will interpret. Another type,
called praying-in-the-Spirit, or "personal tongues",
is for private use and
personal prayer. The language of 'tongues' is fluent, not repetitive.
It is
different for every person, and frequently varies in the same person. The
scripture says that you will speak in 'divers' (various) tongues.
In spiritual warfare, the importance of tongues cannot be emphasized enough. In
battling the enemy, as in deliverance, if you do not know how to proceed further
in the circumstance or situation, go immediately into "tongues’. 'TONGUES'
ALWAYS BRINGS REVELATION FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. Yield to the Holy Spirit and pray
it out in 'tongues'.
If you do not speak in 'tongues', use PRAISE, which also
brings revelation. Jesus inhabits the praise, the scripture says. When we pray
in "tongues", we do the speaking, that is,
we make the sounds, and by a yielding
trust (faith), the Holy Spirit gives the meaning. (Ro.8:26, 27) The Holy Spirit
prays in you and through you. That is important to realize. You are a yielded,
empty, vessel. You mind is active. You are submitted to Him and trusting.
'Tongues' then manifests.
Why are "tongues" so important as a form of prayer? Here are five reasons that
every believer should know:
1. 'Tongues' brings revelation from the Holy Spirit.
2. Through 'tongues' the Holy Spirit prays in you and through you,
and
prays a PERFECT prayer.
3. By letting the Holy Spirit pray 'tongues' through you, the Holy Spirit
can get God’s perfect Will for your situation or circumstance.
4. The Holy Spirit uses 'tongues' to get the 'answer' from the Lord
quicker than you can.
5. Satan cannot understand 'tongues'.
Experience has also shown that the use of 'tongues' hastens deliverance.
Indeed.
we have yielded to the Holy Spirit to perform complete deliverance in children
solely through the use of "tongues". It is less frightening to them than to
address
demonic spirits in our natural language. Infants with "sleep"
disturbance or other behavioral problems for which there is no natural or
medical explanation, can be delivered from demonic oppression or harassment
through the laying-ion-of-hands and praying simultaneously in 'tongues' while
they are sleeping."
