1 Corinthians 14:4
4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
There is so much controversies regarding speaking in tongues. The devil is extremely afraid when a beloved of the Lord speaks in tongues. And because of his fear for this weapon of God, he has insinuated many preachers to come against this weapon of God. He has suggested to many Christians that speaking in tongues is work and not of God. Praise be to God, that number is dwindling as the revelation of speaking in tongues spread like wildfire in the kingdom of God! Speaking in tongues is rest! It is not a laborious work as the devil suggests.
The bible says when one speaks in tongues, he edifies himself. The word edify here means to build, to solidify, to strengthen oneself. I believe, when one speaks in tongues, he is been built up by God. He is been made whole through the perfect prayer via the Holy Spirit. God quickens His body and soul.
The bible tells us of the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree. Between the time when Jesus proclaimed no man shall see the fruit of the fig tree to the time when Jesus and His disciples came to the withered tree, the temple of God was "cleansed". Jesus drove out all the money changers for He wanted the temple of praise to remain as that and not den of thieves! Our bodies are the temples of God.
That cleansing comes in the form of speaking in tongues. When we speak in tongues, we are praying the perfect prayer. We may be speaking our future in existence. We may be praying for another child of God somewhere in another part of the world. We may be praying for the safety of our loved ones or even a complete Christian. To expound this slightly further, we may be praying for the salvation of someone in the world, be it someone we know or a complete stranger.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
The gifts of the holy spirits are activated by the gift of speaking in tongues. When we speak in tongues, we are flaming into flame the other gift of the Holy Spirit! When we speak in tongues, we will experience shalom peace within.
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The prayer mentions here is praying in the perfect prayer: speaking in tongues. The effective fervent of the righteous avails much. And God answer readily the prayer of the righteous. In the book of Daniel, the archangel Gabriel told Daniel that his prayer was already answered in the spiritual realm but the worldly manifestation would come later because of the hindrance placed by the devil. Keep on praying in the Holy Spirit.
In the new Pentecost, the bible tells us of the Holy Spirit rushing as a mighty wind to fill our spirits. This is only possible because Jesus had completed the complete work at the cross! We are so cleaned that the Holy Spirit is able to indwell in us, forever, till the coming of Christ for us.
Beloved of the Lord, lets press on with this gift of God. For it is refreshing and full of live in speaking in tongues. Hallelujah!
