Bible Question: why shoould belevers pray and speak in tongues. |
Bible Answer: We should pray because we do not always know in which direction to go.The bible says acknowledge the LORD and he will direct your path.As far as speaking in tongues,Paul says that the unsaved are spiritually dead and live out of their minds which are darkened by vanity.You know,its possible for a believer to live this way-out of the folly of his or her unrenewed mind- after their spirit has recieved the life of GOD.They have not yet located their spirit which is the faculty GOD uses to communicate with you and direct you,so they just keep trying to reason things out like the worrld does and put all kinds of ideas together to try to make things work.Instead of living out of our head,we are to live out of our spirit.How do you begin to do that?By sowing the Word into your spirit.Gal.6:8.As you pray in tongues and meditate on the Word regularly,you become more spirit conscious.THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TEACHER OF THE CHURCH.Now in the new birth,your spirit has come alive.You mind or soul was not directly changed.It needs to be renewed.We have become accustomed to walking after our feelings and reasoning,your soul and body in dominance.Speaking in tongues bypasses.This is what I ment in my previous answer.Paul says in Eph.4:17-19 not to walk any more as other gentiles do,in the vanity of their mind,being cutoff from the life of GOD and obeying their bodily impules. |
