Tongues

The great Apostle Paul says:  "I THANK GOD THAT I SPEAK IN TONGUES MORE THAN ALL OF YOU. (1 Cor. 14:18)  FOR, IF I PRAY IN A TONGUE, MY SPIRIT PRAYS..I WILL PRAY WITH THE SPIRIT, I WILL SING WITH THE SPIRIT.." (1 Cor. 14:14a,15b NIV)  FOR ANYONE WHO SPEAKS IN A TONGUE DOES NOT SPEAK TO PEOPLE BUT TO GOD.  INDEED, NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THEM; THEY UTTER MYSTERIES BY THE SPIRIT. (1 Cr. 14:2 NIV)

 Praying in tongues in private devotion is another entrance into the Holy Spirits presence and empowerment.  A PERSON WHO SPEAKS IN TONGUES IS STRENGTHENED PERSONALLY.. (1 Cor. 14:4a NLT) There is a place for public expression in tongues with interpretations.  The Holy Spirit  speaks  in this way also. I've been to a few meetings where tongues, interpretation and prophecy brought great glory to the Son of David.  The Holy Spirit brought God's insights to the body, just as instructed in 1 Corinthians 14:26-33.
