> His Inspirational Gifts:
>
>
> Manifestation and Church Gift of Divers Kinds of
> Tongues...1Corinthians 12:4-11
>
> Mark 16:17...Divers kinds of tongues is supernatural utterance by
> the Holy Spirit in languages never learned by the speaker, not
> understood by the mind of the speaker, nor necessarily always
> understood by the hearer. Speaking with tongues has nothing
> whatsoever to do with linguistic ability; it has nothing to do
with
> the mind or the intellect of man. It is a vocal miracle.
> Tongues is primarily a devotional gift
> Jesus told his disciples, "After the Holy Ghost has come upon
you,
> you shall receive power" (Acts 1:8). The evidence of this baptism
is
> the gifts of the Spirit, with tongues almost invariably coming
> first. There are various kinds of tongues. One type—the prayer and
> worship language—is for private use and personal edification. It
> does not need to be interpreted. In fact, Paul informs us that
> although he spoke in tongues more often than all the Corinthians,
> when he did, his understanding was unfruitful. He describes his
use
> of a prayer language as praying "with the spirit" (1 Corinthians
> 14:14-15). This prayer and worship language is indispensable for
> every Spirit-filled Christian.
> Public ministry of tongues
> Paul teaches that only a few believers will be used in what we
> would call the public ministry of tongues, because he said in 1
> Corinthians 12:30, "do all speak with tongues?" Some take that out
> of context and say, "Speaking in tongues isn't for everyone. You
can
> be filled with the Spirit without speaking with tongues." However,
> we must remember that Paul is talking about the ministry gift of
> tongues, because he began by saying, "And God hath set some in the
> church...diversities of tongues" (1 Corinthians 12:28). Then Paul
> asked, "Are all apostles?...do all speak with tongues?" The
obvious
> answer is no. But Paul is talking here about public ministry. We
> should not be too concerned about our ministering in tongues and
> interpreting. We should be primarily concerned with maintaining
> tongues in the place where they principally belong—as a devotional
> gift to assist us in the worship of God.
>
> Why should I speak in tongues?
>
>
>
> Speaking in tongues is initial evidence of Holy Spirit
> baptism...Acts 2:1-4; 10:44-48; 19:1-6.
>
> Speaks unto God...1 Corinthians 14:2.
>
> Speaks in mysteries...1 Corinthians 14:2.
>
> For spiritual edification...1 Corinthians 14:4.
>
> Build up yourself...Jude 20.
>
> Pray for the unknown--don't know what or how to pray in any
> situation...Romans 8:26-27.
>
> Produces rest in our Souls...Isaiah 28:11-12.
>
> Out of your belly shall flow the river of Life...John 7:37-38.

>
> People often ask me why tongues is a common manifestation of
> baptism in the Holy Spirit. I tell them that if God is going to
rule
> us, He must certainly rule our tongues; it is our most unruly
> member. Just as we grab a bit to control a horse, God takes hold
of
> our tongue to assert His control of us.
>
>
>
> Another reason He gives the gift of tongues first is to enable us
> to build our faith for the appropriation of other spiritual
> gifts...How are we to appropriate these gifts? Martin Luther tells
> us, "Faith is the arm that reaches out to take the gift God
offers."
> But our arm of faith is weak and short. So God's first gift is the
> only one that edifies the user. With it, we can build up our arm
of
> faith to appropriate other gifts we may need. That's why when
> someone with a great need comes to me, I find myself instinctively
> praying in tongues.
>
>
>
> Because tongues, above the other gifts, is a worship gift, it
> helps us fulfill our primary reason for being: to glorify God and
> enjoy Him.

> Folks always ask me, "Do I have to speak in tongues to receive
the
> baptism in the Holy Spirit?" I give them evangelist David
> Wilkerson's answer: "You don't have to. You get to. It's part of
the
> package."

> How do I speak in tongues?
>
>
>
> Instead of telling people to ask for the gift of tongues, I urge
> them, with the words of the apostle Paul, to "stir up the gift of
> God which is in you" (2 Timothy 1:6).
>
>
>
> 1. You make the sound by furnishing the raw material. God helps
> you with the utterance. He helps you shape the sound of your voice
> into words. Acts 2:4 says, "And they were all filled with the Holy
> Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave
> them utterance."
>
>
>
> 2. Don't speak words your mind understands. As long as you do,
> your mind will remain in control.
>
>
>
> 3. Don't listen to yourself. Can you imagine a little child
> learning to talk? Does he say, "Ma-ma-ma-ma," and then stop
with: "I
> can't say that. That's not a language?" No, he just hugs his
daddy's
> neck and prattles away.
