Bible Question:
Hi Ken, Dave here... I was wondering if you could help me understand something that has happened to me a couple of times. Both times I was asleep, and I became aware as I was waking up that I was speaking some strange language that I could not understand, and that I was not at all familiar with it through the hearing of it (as some language like German, or Japanese or whatever - nothing familiar), yet I was SPEAKING it myself! I WAS, however, somehow aware that it was the very word of God, and that the Holy Spirit was speaking THROUGH me, and that I was involved with some type of spiritual warfare, possibly protective in nature over myself. What do you think was happening and why? What scriptural reference comes to mind to explain this? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Dave, if you are truly into the things of God He isn't going to hide Himself from you regardless of the the present issue. It's important to remember He is not the author of confusion. If something of the nature you mentioned is happening to you I would be in much prayer about it anticipating a confirmation of it's validity. The word says let everything be confirmed by two or three witnesses, however in your private prayer time with Him I would not have a problem trusting what is impressed upon me since I am praying in His name. God is Trustworthy. God is faithful. He won't give you a stone if asking for a loaf. Try the Spirits to see if they be of the Lord. If there is a sense of fear or darkness associated in any of what you experience, resist it in the name of Jesus. As to tongues, let them flow out if you are impressed to speak.. We're not going to speak English in Heaven anyway. |
