1 Cor. 14v. 39 says that no one should forbid others from speaking in other tongues. This means that speaking in tongues is for the present day Church. Despite this verse being very clear, many people have been denouncing and abusing those who speak in tongues and or encourage others to do so. There is no way that people shall choose certain verses to practice and leave out others. We must apply the whole Bible. Period.
Mark 16v. 17 says that tongues are a sign to the unbelievers. Those who believe speak in other tongues. If you are a Christian, you should believe and accept the infilling of the Holy Ghost which is always accompanied by speaking in other tongues. Acts 1v. 8 commands us to be endued with the Holy Ghost to get power to be witnesses for Christ Jesus. Acts 2v. 4 says that when the disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost, they spoke in other tongues. If they sopke in other tongues after they were filled, how the hell do you suggest you can be filled without speaking in other tongues? Matthew 25 writes of five foolish virgins who had no oil and five wise virgins who had oil. Those who had oil are those who are Spirit filled tongue speaking saints. In fact, only tongue speaking saints will be raptured according to Matthew 25. The foolish virgins who are not Spirit filled will be left here on earth to get to the great tribulation.
There are very many benefits of speaking in other tongues. One of these benefits is the ability to pray privately perfectly. Apostle Paul says that he spoke in tongues than all others in 1 Cor. 14v. 18. He used to pray for all men in tongues. I personally spend atleast two hours a day in prayer in tongues for all mankind. Another benefit is the ability to get messages from God if one has interpretation of spoken tongues. This gives prophetic messages and instrution to the Church. Speaking in other tongues frees the mind also that as you pray, you may read, make notes, and meditate on the word of God. I personally pray in tongues while studying and writing. In fact, I write my books while praying in tongues! There are very many other benefits of speaking in tongues one can research on. May you be filled with the Holy Ghost with the sign of tongues now. Amen.
