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: I have done this a couple of times. The first time was when I was first filled with the Spirit. I prayed all night in tongues in my sleep. The second time was when I was going through a difficult time and was seeking the Lord diligently. I believe in both instances the Holy Spirit was interceeding for me, and encouraging me. Ken is correct, God will not give you a stone for bread. God's children whose hearts are pure toward God will not be deceived. God bless |
