The gift of tongues in the believers life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gift of tongues plays a prominent role in the believers life and must be covered or desired because of its spiritual benefits to the believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many reasons the church of Christ globally should desire this gift and sustain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Evidence of genuineness of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The tongues is a language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The tongues is a gift to profit the believers and the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Edifies and build up the believers and the church when it is interpreted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Endeavor to cover this gift of the Holy Spirit because of its tremendous blessings to your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
