Subject: Importance of speaking in tongues |
Bible Note: You're referring to praying in tongues and not public speaking in an assembly right? How did you start speaking in tongues? Of course my answer here pre-supposes that your tongues are genuine which is why I asked the above question. Next, the comments people give concerning 'praticing' : this is a way of saying that you need to excercise the gift or it will grow weak - like a muscle. Paul told Timothy to "stir up" the gift he had received through the laying on of hands - 2 Tim. 1:6 As for 'losing the anointing' you never really lose the basic anointing - 1 John 2:27 "And as for you, the anointing which you received of Him abides in you..." The only way we lose any kind of anointing in our lives is by disobediance or simply becoming slack in prayer (which some would say are the same thing!). You cannot lose a genuine gift, God does not give gifts then take them away when you don't use them enough. |
