Bible Question:
What is tongues. Please explain this to me in plain English, and give me some passages from the new testament. God has not taught me this yet, but I am curious about it. Enlighten me in this so I won't be afraid next time someones says the word "Tongues" |
Bible Answer: There's nothing to be afraid of. It perfect prayer that is communication between the Holy Spirit that resides inside of you and God. It's perfect because our flesh, and Satan, can't interpret it, pervert it, manipulate it. I've heard many times Christians feel the need to pray but don't know what to pray for, so they pray in the spirit. I like the analogy of World War II, when the US radio signals were being heard by the enemy. Navaho indians were trained and placed on both ends of the line. The Germans, not knowing Navaho, couldn't interpret and lost the advantage. It's the same with what I call my prayer language, the flesh can't mess with it. The Bible says that it builds up your spirit when you use it regularly. |
