Release the power of God in you

For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. And we are to stir up the gift of God which is in us.

What exactly is The gift of God which is in us? It is the gifts of of the Holy Spirit and the gift of speaking in tongues is the only gift of the Spirit that we can "utilize" at will and to ignite the other eight gifts of the Spirit.

When we speak in tongues, there comes an inner strength and fortitude to face what's in the world. Peace and joy flows freely when we speak in tongues for a season. We will feel the power of God to activate the other gifts of the Spirit as the Spirit wills.

As we speak in tongues, we become more sensitize to the prompting of God. We tend to hear Him more accurately when we are speaking in tongues for a season. This is not to imply those who don't speak in tongues cannot hear God accurately. We hear God speaking with us all the time when we are His children.

When the power of God is released through the speaking in tongues, we can activate the other gifts of the Spirit. We will be able to lay hand on the sick and they will recover. God will move some of us with the gift of word of wisdom to shed some light regarding certain issues.

Also some will be able to share with others the word of knowledge regarding God's word. Others will be able to prophesies events in the future. Some will be able to discern in their spirit and others will have the gift of interpreting tongues. To another the working of miracles and to another the spirit of faith.

No one gift is more powerful than the other. The situation dictates which is the most appropriate gift to activate. If we are sharing the word of God with a sick person, the appropriate gift of the Spirit may be the healing of the Spirit. To a person who is unsure of his or her future the gift of prophecy may be appropriate.

Beloved of the Lord, release the power of the Lord by stirring up the gift of speaking in tongues and see God's wondrous miracles manifesting in our lives. Hallelujah!
