10 Reasons to Speak in Tongues – Part 2
Dr RJ Sing
“But you, dear friends, must build up your lives ever more strongly upon the foundation of our holy faith, learning to pray in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit.”
Reason No. 6: Speaking in Tongues helps you walk in love and eradicates selfishness from your life. 1 Corinthians 14:4 – Your spirit prays and not your mind.
Reason No. 7: The seventh reason to pray in Tongues is to give thanks to God. (See 1 Corinthians 14:15-17)
Reason No. 8: The next reason is that as you speak in Tongues you yield your Tongue to the Holy Ghost. (See James 3:8).
Reason No. 9: as you speak in other Tongues, you are refreshed. Isaiah 28:11-12 “But they won't listen; the only language they can understand is punishment! So God will punish them by sending against them foreigners who speak strange gibberish! Only then will they listen to him! 12 They could have rest in their own land if they would obey him, if they were kind and good. He told them that, but they wouldn't listen to him.”
Reason No. 10: we pray the mind of the Holy Spirit as He knows everything. Many times as we pray, the Holy Spirit prays perfectly what our mind is unaware of.
