TO THE BIBLE
1 Corinthians 14:2
“For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
LET’S TALK
A rechargeable battery may possess the capacity to power a great machine, yet that power remains static and unused until a connection is made. Many systems in the world work the same way: energy must be activated before results can be seen. In the life of a Christian, there’s also a divine way to stir up and activate the power within. One of the most powerful ways to do this is by speaking in other
tongues.
Speaking in other tongues is one spiritual activity you must take seriously! If you’ve not been praying this way, you’re missing too much! Paul said, ”I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all” (1 Corinthians 14:18). He could brag about it because he understood the immense benefits of speaking in other tongues. No wonder he had such remarkable results.
Speaking in other tongues is an important way to accomplish a God-given purpose. It’s a way to “quick-charge” your spirit and cause you to respond very quickly to spiritual things. As you pray in tongues, the anointing is stirred within you and, suddenly, you’re turned into another man.
When you’re born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, the power of God comes to reside in you. This power is
triggered or set in motion when you speak in other tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:4 says, “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself…” The Greek word translated as “edifies” means “to construct or to build up, to embolden or charge up like a battery.” The scripture is therefore telling us that the one who speaks in other tongues builds himself up like an edifice; he emboldens himself and charges himself like a battery.
Speaking in tongues is the solution to fear and timidity. If you ever feel nervous speaking up in class, afraid of the future, or unsure of yourself, activate the power within you by speaking in other tongues; you’ll find yourself dealing wisely and soundly in the affairs of life. Also, if you want to operate in the highest level of faith which you’ve attained, then you must consistently speak in other tongues. In Jude 1:20, the Bible says when you speak in other tongues, you’re building yourself on your most holy faith. That means the Spirit of God is able to take God’s Word right into your spirit, where it produces God’s kind of faith.
GO DEEPER:
Acts 2:3-4; 1Corinthians 14:5
SPEAK
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. As I speak in other tongues as your Spirit gives me utterance, I take advantage of this “quick charge” to stir up boldness within me, operate on my most holy faith and cause changes in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
