tongues
First just a quick note and not for discussion right now ok? OK?? OK??
There are two different types of tongues…..Neither of which is a learned or know language by the person giving them but they are SUPERNATURAL in Character!
1. The Gift of tongues (a supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit) as in 2 Cor 12: 10. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
THIS ONE IS the one that has to interoperated as it is spoken out in church to edify the Body.
2. Is this language which is our personnel prayer language, that we use when we are praying in the Spirit to the Lord and that TONGUES does not need an interpretation we are speaking directly to the Lord and not even the devil knows what we are saying . (we can ask for the interpretation and sometimes He will give it to us but not always).
REASONS:
1, it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit……..
It is the initial evidence because it is usually the first sign of that baptism that people see in us and it is something we all get to do.
Many are anointed with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit but until the
Manifestation of speaking in tongues there is stll more to receive.
DO I have to speak in tongues….. No but you get to…. At the baptism we receive the power of the Holy Spirit but in most cases tongues is manifested first.
2. Rom 8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
The Word infirmities here mean Weaknesses or shortcomings
Have you ever been praying and run out of things to pray for or don’t have any idea of how to pray for a situation? OR maybe woke up in the night or nudged to pray .but no idea what for.
That is when the Holy Spirit according to Rom 8’26 come to the rescue
By praying in tongues you are praying the will of God and it is the Holy Spirit praying thru you.
When you yourself are in a bind, praying in the Spirit will show and help you be victorious when you yourself don’t know what needs to be done about that problem. Such as Finances, relationships , health etc
Rom 8: 27. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God
We have heard of many time a person was praying in the Spirit and later sometimes years later, they found out that they were praying for a person (they might not even know them) and their lives were spared from something that was out to harm them.
3. Jude 20. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Building your self up………EDIFY and STRENGETHNS the inner man helps us get stronger in the Lord. How much praying in the Spirit do we need to do?? WELL, How strong in the Lord do you want to get?

Looks good
Satan
Offers has
WORMS
Think on this
James 1: 17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Mercy
"Praise the Lord! His mercy endureth forever!" Mighty and powerful things happened when Israel said these words. They are words of praise and adoration to God.
When Solomon finished building the house of the Lord, the trumpeters and singers lifted their voices as one, and with trumpets, cymbals, and instruments of music, they praised the Lord saying, "For He is good: for His mercy endureth forever."
Jehoshaphat appointed singers unto the Lord to go before the army and say, "Praise the Lord! For His mercy endureth forever."
It has been thousands of years since the Lord said His mercy extended to a thousand generations, and His mercy continues to reach you day after day. He is still plenteous in mercy unto them that call upon Him. With your spirit, dare to stretch your faith to take in the boundless mercy of God. And say with your mouth, "The Lord He is good and His mercy endureth forever. His mercy surrounds me even today!"

Warning
Monday, August 2, 2010
courage comes by faith
Courage comes from trusting God. It can't be mentally drummed up. It comes from believing what God says regardless of what the circumstances look like. Courage comes from faith!
Where does discouragement come from? From fear and unbelief. It comes when you listen to the devil's lies about what God is not going to do for you.
As the people of God, you and I must shake off discouragement and rise up with courage! We must quit looking at our own abilities and failures and limitations and start looking to God. We must rise up in the Name of Jesus and the power of His Spirit and establish the kingdom of heaven upon earth.
If you've been discouraged lately, stop listening to Satan's lies. Stop receiving evil reports. Whenever someone tells you God is not going to deliver you, just tell them, "He's already delivered me in the Name of Jesus."
Once you begin to realize who you are and what you've been given by the power of God, you'll quit letting the devil run all over you. God didn't suggest that you be strong and courageous. That is His command!
