Topic 4: Getting to
Speak the Tongues
The fact is Every
Believer has the Holy Spirit in them...
And when I say believer, I don't mean a church goer or someone who was born
into the Christian religion...
A believer is someone
who believes that Jesus died and resurrected by the Glory of God for Him/her
and has as a result confessed Jesus as His lord... Simple
And as simple as that
is, the bible says it takes the Holy spirit to do so...
1 Corinthians 12:3
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God
calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by
the Holy Ghost.
So if you believe that
he rose again, beyond the fact that you watched passion of the christ on tv,
but because you heard it in the word of God, and you believe it with your heart
that he is your lord and God... Then you are a believer, and another fact is;
you have the Holy Spirit... Amen...
Let's begin with John
20
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the
doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came
Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were
the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive
ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever
sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus
came.
You see, those guys saw
that Jesus was risen, and then they rejoiced, they rejoiced because they saw
that their Lord was risen, his side which was pierced and the holes created by
nails on His palms. And feet were proofs to them that he's risen, and they
rejoiced, their rejoicing was a sign that they believed, and the moment Jesus
saw that they believe, He Breathed on Them... Receive ye the Holy spirit he
said...
But you know what? None
of them spoke with tongues... They received the Holy spirit, but Nothing
happened... Nothing...
One of them went with
his own Holy Spirit to tell Thomas that Jesus is risen, and thomas refused to
believe, not because he didn't have a gullible nature, but because Jesus must
be revealed by the Holy spirit, (not explained) before any man can believe...
So Jesus showed up again... And thomas believed Him as his Lord and God...
Glory to God...
But None of these guys
spoke in tongues yet... Why? Because though they got the Holy Spirit, they
wouldn't manifest him until they are filled with Him...
So how did they got
filled... Follow me...
Luke 24:49
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city
of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Jesus was talking to
thesame people he breathed on that they will be endued , endued means
Clothed... It means to put on like a garment, so he said they should tarry in a
place until they be clothed with the power from heaven...
He said the power they
will be clothed with will be the one that is from on high
To therefore be clothed
with power is what it means to be FILLED with the Holy Spirit
Acts 1: referring to
Jesus;
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not
depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he,
ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost not many days hence.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and
ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
He said they shall be
baptised with the Holy Ghost... To be baptised with something means to be
immersed into that thing... It means to be engulfed or drenched with it... It
means to be super soaked with it... And remain in it...
He said they shall
receive power to be able to express divinity on the earth, be a witness of his
resurrection and cause changes all around the world, when the Holy Spirit,
shall come upon them... Don't forget they once received this same Holy Spirit...
The bible says it was then that they could understand the scriptures... And
really believe Christ... Luke 24:45
So what he is saying in
actual sense is that when what is inside them, shall come upon them, then they
shall have power... Can you imagine that?
He said when this Holy
Spirit which you have received he is the spirit of Faith, 2cor.4:13, he is what
makes us believe on Jesus, he said when he shall overflow from your belly and
cover you up, then there will be power for you...
So the Holy Spirit
cannot come upon you if he is not already in you, and him coming upon you is
him springing up in you to overflow...
John makes it clear
John 4:14 (Jesus talking)
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing
up into everlasting life.
The water is the word
of God (eph 5:26), to drink it is to believe it
John chapter 7 now adds
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water.
39( But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should
receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.)
Can you connect that?
When you believe the word of God, that word becomes in you a well that springs
up as the Holy Spirit... And then he said out of your belly Rivers of living
waters, that are sprung up from that well shall flow...
I love verse 39; he
says Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit... Which they which believe His
Glorification shall receive... Hallelujah
So the disciples waited
at the upper room ten days after Jesus' ascension... Because these were the
first set of people to have this experience, No one have to wait for ten days
now to be filled, except in unbelief... You can be filled deliberately... Any time,
anywhere, and even now...
Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
That was at the first
experience, they were filled and they spoke with tongues, But now, we could
speak to be filled...
And if you never spoke
in tongues before, though this might be easier if you have someone who already
speaks in tongues around to lay hands on you, and also pray in tongues for you,
But I also believe you can have it even alone...
Its simple, I believe you can speak in tongues right now, Just get alone, your
room is good enough, and Just in very few words, ask the Holy spirit to fill
you... Believing that you received when you ask Mark 11:24
And then I tell you,
you will receive utterance...
Wait, utterance is not
when you begin to misbehave, or talk when you don't want to talk, utterance is
not having something grab your mouth without your will and then begin to make
noise through your mouth... Many wait for this and they miss out...
Utterance is some
gentle words(Unknown words or terms) impressed on your mind as you open your
mind to the Holy spirit to be filled, which you WILL have to open your mouth
and say out...
This is how it happens;
as you pray, or as you are reading these words, some words that you never knew
will be impressed on your mind, all you have to do is voice them out... Know
for sure that it won't make sense, and it won't have meaning to your senses and
also know that what you say don't matter, it don't have to be strange or
unique, I can sound anyhow... Free your mind... what what you say does to you
is what matters
It gets you drunk with
the Holy Spirit if you continue, the utterance at start will be coming in
trickles, little by little, but as you continue, it will spring up, and spring
up until it becomes a river and get you soaked, until you yourself begins to
swim in the ocean of the power that you have generated
I have prayed for
people that they should be filled with the Holy Spirit, and they refuse to
speak in tongues, and when I ask; why don't you speak, some of them would say I
don't know what to speak...
But here is what the
word says;
1 Corinthians 14:2
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God:
for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
You see? He calls it
UNKNOWN... So I don't expect you to know what to speak... You Just speak...
Yeah! Just speak... It takes faith in the fact that God lives in you to speak,
and as you say the first word, your senses might compete with it, But if you
don't mind your senses and continue, based on faith, not feelings, you will be
launched into higher dimensions of God's power from Glory to Glory...
2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and
therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
And as you continue,
you won't be able to differentiate between when it got to your mind and when
you spoke it out
He says HE( any human
being) that speaketh, he didn't say anyone that tongues begins to flow out of
their mouth unknowingly... He says whoever speaketh... Verse 4 he says he
edifies himself, that is, he makes himself strong
You WILL have to open
your mouth and speak... It is by faith, and not by feelings... Some strange
feelings sometimes do accompany this experience anyway, which don't have to be
for everyone as well... It doesn't happen to everybody, But everyone can speak
by faith... We don't walk by feelings... And until you speak, you are locked
out of the whole experience...
1 Corinthians 14:15
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the
understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the
understanding also.
He already said the way
to pray with the spirit is to pray with tongues so he said HE WILL DECIDE TO
PRAY WITH THE SPIRIT...
Hallelujah...
And as you do, the Holy
Spirit will become stirred up on your inside to overflow... You will readily
carry God... You will be filled with his full Load... Just continue talking
it...
Paul in his letter to
timothy said;
2 Timothy 1:6
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is
in thee by the putting on of my hands.
And I tell you, that
the way to stir up that Gift of God which is the Holy ghost is to pray in
tongues
1cor 14:14 says when I
pray in tongues, my spirit prays... Oh! Glory!!!
Jude 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the
Holy Ghost,
Hallelujah... As you
pray in tongues, something is being built up in you, it is the awesome power of
God...
Hallelujah... We will
continue from here
Watch out for topic 5
