You see Praying in Tongues is not an option for a believer but a doorway to the Supernatural. It is the language of the Spirit. The first day of my Praying in Tongues was a beginning of my Spiritual encounters with Holy Ghost and Angels. This will usher you to a realm of Power and supernatural manifestations of Healings and Miracles of God.
In fact, a few scientific evidence has emerged. Such evidence using SPECT scan by Andrew Newberg has emerged that people speaking in tongues (glossolalia), while being scanned showed decreased cerebral blood flow activity in the prefrontal cortices beneficial for stress reduction, unlike people engaged in “attention-focusing tasks” like mindful meditation.
What is the important knowledge about praying in tongues? Let me share with you the practical knowledge that are indispensable here.
1.Speaking in Tongues is an instruction of the Lord Jesus Christ for the accompanying Signs: The Lord Jesus spoke to His Disciples after He appeared to them following His resurrection. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues. ; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:18, NKJV).
- Speaking in Tongues was part of the Physical manifestations of the Holy Spirit that came at the Day of Pentecost: Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. (Acts 2:3, NKJV).
- Speaking in Tongues allows you to be filled with the Holy Ghost:
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:4, NKJV). Speaking in Tongues is activation tool for the Great Power of God for the miraculous. - Speaking in Tongues can be a wonder works of God: This was the experience of the Cretans and Arabs who witnessed the Apostles speaking in Tongues in Acts 2: 11 – “Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”
- For the Baptism of the Holy Spirit: And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied (Act 19:6, NKJV).
- Speaking in Tongues is a way of speaking mysteries: For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. (1 Corinthians 14:2).
- Self-edification: He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church (1 Corinthians 14:4, NKJV).
- Building of your faith: Speaking in Tongues allow you to build your faith, But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit (Jude 1:20, NKJV).
In conclusion, I will say that praying or speaking in tongues helps to activate the Power of God in you and through you. However, you must be aware that there are demonic tongues as well. Just as Paul wrote I wish you all would spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification (1 Corinthians 14:5, NKJV).
Study the Word of God, meditate upon the Word, and Confess the Word. Apply and confess the power in the Blood of Jesus and the Name of Jesus Christ.
