I received the Holy Ghost yesterday!!!! I spoke in tongues for the first time. 🙏🏽🙌🏽 This is my birthday month and Christ has given me the greatest gift 😊
Go to an apostolic pentecostal church. When the altar call is given go up there and tell them that you would like to recieve the Holy Spirit baptism. They will pray with you until it happens. When you pray don't focus on anything but Jesus.
In your prayer time, tell the Lord your hearts desire, ask him to lead you to a place of worship of His choice where you will be taught the truth. Everything you need is in God’s Word.
So glad to hear your testimony!! I wanted Tongues and was told I could not have it by a church member in 2000. I closed my bedroom door locked it got on my knees and told God I'm here until I get Tongues! Well hours later it came so powerful it took my English for over 12 hours! It was so wonderful! Yes so I'm so glad to hear yours testimony it's so rare! Gid bless you!
You receive the Holy Spirit upon conversion. You will know who the true converts are by their Fruits, NOT by their gifts, which can be easily faked like tongues, which has since ceased.
I recieved the Holy Spirit this past Sunday night and WoW whata glorious feeling it is!! I can't praise Jesus enough for filling me with the Holy Ghost!
Guess what????? It happened girl!!!! To God be the glory!!!! Three days after being baptized in the Holy Spirit! My prayer life has been amazing. 🎉thanks for your testimony ❤
I hope many people see your testimony, it's awesome! It's hard to describe how receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit takes things to a whole other level, in so many ways. All I know is when I received Him it was one of the best days of my life. I'm grateful for the gifts He gives, where I am led to pray in tongues in intercession for someone else. Many times I feel like it's someone somewhere far away, like in Asia (or anywhere on Earth) who is suicidal and has no one else to pray for them. The Holy Spirit knows and leads us to intercede. You can feel when there's been a breakthrough. Tongues not only edify us, they edify others and I know demons hate that. That's why there's so many lies out there about the gifts of the Spirit, because all of them do damage to satan's plans. Demons despise tongues because they can't understand it and it's like nails on a chalkboard to them. One thing I like to do is sing in tongues. The Holy Spirit will give us songs to praise the Lord, it just flows naturally. I could go on and on, but I don't want to write a whole book lol. I just love your video and you're just so animated and lovely. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is a real blessing. I know you make Jesus proud and that you'll get lots of people saved and Spirit filled!
I love the genuine humility that comes through this gal...she's so articulate and well spoken ! This hunger and thirst she speaks of is what I've been meditating on from 1 Peter 5 and Revelaion 20 and 21 zand Acts 19....a thirst for more of the Holy Spirit is a GIFT ! God gives to those who ask , seek and knock !!!!
I just listened to your testimony of how you were baptized with the Holy Spirit. It’s amazing, praise the lord. I have been praying for this gift too. I am very anxious and thirsty for the Holy Spirit. Please help me by praying that the Lord should baptize me too not too long from now. Praise God!
Before i recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues i couldn't understand the scriptures to.the point to where if i had asked anybody about how to be saved i would have believed them whether they knew what they were talking about or not. This is what hundreds of millions of believers in catholic and protestant churches did. And they weren't told the truth of how to be saved. After i arrived home from recieving the Holy Spirit i decided to read a little from the Bible before bed. When i opened it up.and started reading i was stunned. Suddenly it had taken on much more depth and i became aware of the Spirit that i had recieved was guiding me and teaching me the meaning of what i was reading. It wasn't until.later that i read the scripture," The anointing you have recieved of him abideth in you and you need no man to teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you of all things,and is truth and is no lie,as even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him".(1John 2:27)
Amen 🙌✝️🕊️❤️🔥👑 Glory to The Father The Son and Holy Spirit The Activation/baptism of The Holy Spirit amazing The Gifts He gives us from his Grace love and Faith He gave us is unmatched 🙌✝️🕊️❤️🔥🔥🐑🩸👑 Not everyone has The same gifts but I Have tongues aswell I Love you all ❤️🔥💜💕 I for all who are wondering Never heard of gifts of the Spirit Until I read The Bible I just read word for word I personally and a few friends I now know never heard of The gift and Got it just reading the Bible and it’s Really powerful Glory to You God 👑
I love your explanation and heart and being so genuine in explaining this. I grew up southern Baptist as a preachers kid and just the last several years I’ve been in a church that shows evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit. This year got has been pruning my life and changing my heart and desires. The last few months I spoke in tongues unexpectedly at my home then a month later was completely consumed by the Holy spirit at church. My hands and arms where so hot and tingly like electricity moving through me and I spoke in tongues again. Like it was a loud mouth chatter like when your freezing but intense for a long time. I felt I was being delivered I was being filled, peace was being given
I’ve been wanting to receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost since may 2022, but I know God will give it to me on His timing. I remember being on the phone with my friend group. We were all praying and this was the hardest I had ever prayed! So I’m going hard in prayer while my friends are speaking in tongues and I feel something in my belly as if I was about to speak in tongues.. but I guess I got scared because I wasn’t sure what was going on🤣it felt like a fire and a heavy urge to let it out. But I know I will receive it🙏🏽🙌🏾so thankyou for this video and for your obedience 🤍
When you are praying and believing for the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Pray an audible prayer. The Holy Ghost will not make you open your mouth. I have many times see Christian filled wile they were praising God.
@@eddiehaywood5392 what advice would you give someone who desires so much to speak in the Holy Ghost but hadn’t been able to? Do you think I should go on a fast? Do you think I have unbelief and that’s the reason? I appreciate any advice.
@dionnejhall8994 Hello Dionne. The Holy Ghost is a Gift received by Faith just like salvation. So many times I have see people receive the Holy Ghost while praising God. The Bible teaches us that it's a river of living water springing up from our inner most being. People receive the Holy Ghost in different ways. You don't have to plead with God. You only have to believe when you are praying, tell The Lord you want it with a prayer from your mouth. When you begin to feel like different words are trying to come, yeld to what you feel and hear. I remember after God filled me my first thought was. Wow that was easy, I should have gotten the Holy Ghost long time ago. The very part of God that the church needs, many churches teach against it. Keep praying and seeking God. It will come.
@@eddiehaywood5392 Hi Eddie, thank you so much for replying. I believe it will happen too. God has done so many miracles in my life just to share a few I used to be addicted to alcohol and be overcome by depression and anxiety and I am now 2 1/2 years sober God completely delivered me from it I don’t have any temptation or urges just completely delivered me from it. A year into my sobriety I was going through a normal day and I was recognising the devil was lying to me about a few things that God showed me and I went on my knees and I just began to thank God for showing me that the devil was lying to me and the most amazing thing happened I had an experience with God‘s presence that I’ve never had before. It was the most amazing experience that I’ve ever had in my life I was in God’s tangible presence and it was so marvellous that all I could do was cry and praise Him. God has delivered me from depression and anxiety and so much more. Thank you so much for replying. I will wait on the Lord while thanking Him for what He has already done.
Be very penitent; repent and see how much of a sinner you are in front of a Holy God, then ask Jesus for a drink, even a sip, of Living Water - You will receive.
Thank you woman of God! Tongues is real I’ve personally have witnessed the most powerful moves of God I’ve seen in my lifetime!! I myself had panic attacks at one time in my life ! On the way to ER last time it tried to come on me . I started speaking in my prayer language and it departed immediately!! Anyone reading this 2 Tim 1:7 God did not give us a spirit of fear !! Prayer language is all you need !!!! She is right on with this video!!! So powerful!!!!!!! Glory to God !!
My sister I just finished watching this video, and with tears running down my eyes , I want to say thank you the encouragement, it is my earnest desire to be Baptist in the Holy Spirit fire n power n speaking in tongues, just like you, someone prophesy to me that God said I going to get it without they even knowing I was desiring it and praying to God the very day about it, I had dreams of me speaking my heavenly language but,,,,I wasn't searching for you this morning or video of it, however, you popped up on my feed and I ate this morning, and I believe it's God using your obedience to do the video to encourage me today, that He hasn't forgotten me. Thank you for you obedience my sister, you've truly blessed me, continue to walk in His obedience, amen
Amen! All glory be to God! God is the one who put the desire in you to want to get baptized in the Holy Spirit and He will be the one who gives you gift. Philippians 2:13, “For God is working in you giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” He first gave you the desire and now the power is on the way. Keep seeking the Lord for it. He is faithful. ❤
Thank you sister Vivian for sharing your testimony. I touch and agree with this prayer and receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the manifestation of speaking in tongues In Jesus Precious Name I pray and receive with Praise and Thanksgiving! A M E N!!!
Amen Sr.Vivian,praise the lord for your powerful testimony,I too got baptise and received the Holy Ghost,my life was totally transformed and now I'm really enjoying my salvation in the lord ,what a personal experience I have, thanks sister for sharing your experiences too
Thank you for praying for me that I am seeking Him, hungering for Him to baptize me in Holy Spirit so that I will be strengthened to do the will of God, in Jesus’ name! 🙌🏼😁🙏🏽❤️🔥
What a wonderful testimony sister, look at you, full of life and full of joy, I soooo can’t wait to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Praise Jesus
Thank you so much, my dear sister. I am blessed to say, I received my gift of tongues today. 🙌🏼 Your testimony is such an inspiration. May God continue to bless you. ✝️
Thank you, you are speaking the truth and the truth will set people free. Be bereave, I believe The Lord is giving you the gift of teaching to your generation. When you are opening your mouth, He will let it flow like a river. Be blessed! You are called for a time like this.
Vivian I recently received the Holy Spirit & I want to ask you if you would be my friend I need a mentor & you seem like the right fit I clearly see that through your testimony 🙏🙏🙏
Get a couple of believers that have spoke in tongues and have them take you aside privately. As the pray for you, don't pray to speak in tongues, pray for the Lord to fill you with the Holy Spirit. Keep doing so until the Lord answers your prayer and fills you( You will know when it happens). Then open your mouth and start relaxing your tongue as a way of surrendering it. Keep doing so until the Holy Spirit gives you the ability to speak in tongues. Don't try to imitate anyone praying with you. Focus only on Jesus !
Dear Vivian, Thank you! I really enjoyed to hear your testimony. Well l don't follow any specific religion but l am a strong believer in God and his/her love and l believe there are many different ways to contact with God (as Christian, Muslim etc) Nice to see that you are able to receive his/her Love. Lots of love and light from Turkey
Thanks so much for sharing I watched both of your videos. Some parts of your story reminds me of some of the things I went through. God bless you,I truly enjoyed your story,be so blessed
wow, i just happened upon this beautiful message. i am so happy for you that you got your heavenly prayer language baptized into the Holy Spirit. i’m still believing for mine. Thank you so much for sharing and at the end of your message your prayer, was wonderful. thank you, Kevin from California
Amen amen amen! Hallelujah! Thank you for this testimony. God has spoken to me through your words! God is so purposeful and so on time! Hallelujah! Thank you sister and may God continue to bless you. Glory be to God💜
I'm happy to hear you testimony. So many can't see the importance of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. It's a separate work of grace. A gift to the believe. When we don't know how to pray. Holy Ghost interseeds for us. He also makes intersections for us personally ...
Please share the church you were before , the one that donot believe the baptism of the holy spirit, it will save someone, nice experience, i can relate
Please pray for me my name is Breanna I am dealing with intrusive thoughts and anxiety and fear of social settings PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. I WILL BE HEALED IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
🙌✝️🕊️❤️🔥I’m curious what you think cause I would like to say for all who are Seeking The activation / baptism of The spirit - Not everyone I know has The same gifts - ”There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.“ I Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJV
Hi, I have a prayer request. I have been praying to be filled with the Holy Spirit for a few years now, but nothing has happened. Could you please pray that God would reveal all hindrances in my life. Thanks.
Just a heads up to those who get this Baptism from Jesus - the devil will try to disappoint you after, and you may also feel like you need to 'work' (the wrong kind) because of this incredible. glorious, Grace - do not fear, BE STILL (you cannot pay God back!) and continue to walk with God day by day - God Loves you and you are allowed to be excited even if people around you don't understand; you can always fellowship with Jesus and Praise Him all the more. Keep going, it doesn't end here...God bless you and make sure you fill your mind with hope(ful things that have Truth and Grace from God) in the days to come. Amen.
For clarification, there is a difference between speaking in tongues when you’re just baptized with the Holy Spirit and the Gift of Tongues also known as Diver Tongues 1) when a person is filled with the Holy Spirit they speak in tongues as the the spirit gives the utterance. This is the INITIAL EVIDENCE that they have just been filled with the Holy Spirit. When Peter preached to Cornelius (Acts 10) this was the confirmation that Cornelius and his household had received the infilling of the Holy Spirit, they spake in new tongues as the spirit gave the utterance. Today when someone receives the infilling of the Holy Spirit the initial evidence or the first confirmation is that they speak in new tongues as the spirit gives the utterance. (Acts 2:4-8) 2) there are 9 gifts of the spirit which includes diver tongues. A person cannot be used in the gifts of the spirit without first being baptized with the Holy Spirit. How can you have the gift but not the spirit? Diver tongues is not the initial evidence that someone has received the Holy Spirit and we need to keep these things separate. Diver tongues is God using an already Holy Ghost filled believer to bring a message in tongues. This is often followed by another of the 9 gifts “interpretation of tongues” where the message God gave to a person in tongues is now interpreted into a human language by another person not too long after the diver tongues. None of these gifts come without first being baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Greetings, everyone. I was baptized today in Jesus' name, but I didn't receive the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. What do I need to do to wait or tarry for it? Any advice?
Did you Feel it go and surround you if so , Not everyone gets the same gifts from what Ik ”There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.“ I Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJV
IMPORTANT BIBLE QUESTIONS?? Is there initial evidence when a believer is Empowered to Witness by the Holy Spirit? I’m not saying that there are no exceptions to this, but I do believe that Tongues were the only Biblical evidence given in Acts chapter 10, and chapter 19. Notice there was no other evidence given. I’m not saying that there are no exceptions, but they are the exception! Do we teach the normal Biblical pattern or the exception? We must teach the Biblical pattern, and not the exception. If we did, in this day and age of doubt no one would even desire the true power to witness! Speaking in Tongues is a powerful weapon as well as the sign the Spirit has enabled you to boldly proclaim Christ! I served the Lord for a while without the Power of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Later on when I was Baptized with the Holy Spirit I spoke in Tongues like Acts 2, Acts 10, Acts 19 and my Boldness to Witness became a Thousand Fold!! Why? The change in boldness came only after I spoke in tongues. Amazing!! What is it that made me loose my Tongue to witness in English? I believe it was the Tongue of Fire that came with Holy Ghost tongues. I believe that one can believe in Jesus and not receive the Power to Witness. One is Born again by believing, but empowered to witness by the in-filling. Look at Acts 8, they believed and were even Water Baptized but the Holy Spirit did not fall upon them until later. Also In Acts 11, and 15, when Peter spoke about Cornelius, he said, that God put no difference between us and them, and gave them the same gift the Apostles received in Acts 2. How did they know? Their only evidence was they heard them speak in Tongues! Also, in Acts 19, Paul asked certain disciples if they received the Holy Spirit since, or when they believed? Why even ask that question if people receive the Spirit at belief?? I believe the journey of being Born again begins at belief, but there is more. Why? Because, the only normative pattern in the Book of Acts to receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit, is repentance, water Baptism, Spirit Baptism with the evidence of Tongues. I also have seen too many Christians, who served the Lord for many years, finally speak as the Spirit gave them utterance, and were transformed by boldness. Why? Also, in Acts 11, when Peter was explaining his encounter with Cornelius he said… 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Then in Acts 15, at the counsel, Peter said.., 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Wow! Today many Churches put Differences between the Apostles and believers. But Peter says… 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put NO DIFFERENCE between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. So do you agree with me? That the normal Biblical Evidence of receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit to witness is speaking in tongues? If not, In Acts 8, how did they know the Holy Spirit wasn’t yet given to the Samaritans? Even though they believed and were Water Baptized. The Apostles had to come up later and lay hands on them to receive! Why??
Revelation 3:18 also talks about this baptism of fire. "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment (righteousness), that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve (the opening of the spiritual eyes), that thou mayest see."
Thank you so much for your testimony sister. Please when you refer to the Holy Spirit, please say Him not it. Get close to Him! He wants a relationship with you, He wants to be your best friend. Invite Him everywhere you go. Talk to Him like you would a friend and just hang out with Him. I recommend reading the book Good morning, Holy Spirit by Benny Hinn. Another book I recommend is Host the Holy Ghost by Vladimir Savchuk.
Speaking in " tongues" is speaking in one spiritual language. Paul calls it the unknown tongues "that no man knoweth". If " no man knows it" then its not a language native to this world. When i pray in English its source os my mind, but if i speak in this unknown tongue its source is my spirit. The first time we speak in this language it is scriptural proof that we have recieved the Holy Spirit. Afterwards, it is my spirit interceding for me for self edification.The gift of speaking tongues is a different operation of speaking in tongues and it is for the edification of a church gathering. The gift of speaking in " tongues" is a gift that God gives to those He pleases to and is to be accompanied by a believer that has the gift of interpretation so that all in a church assembly may be edified.
Do we have to get baptized in order to make it into heaven? I believe in our lord… I always thought getting the Holy Ghost was through prayer… I just want to be apart of the after life, with our lord… and would love my family get baptized with me
Romans 10 vs 9 states If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead you will be saved. For it is with your heart you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth you profess your faith and are saved. So no you do not have to be baptized by water to be saved. But that said it is commanded that you have a water baptism. Jesus was also commanded to be baptized, his baptism was done by John the Baptist. Continue to pursuit the lord and read his word and you will be filled with the knowledge you are looking for.
To believe in Jesus and salvation is different from how we believe in things naturally. In the natural we believe in something once we are shown proof. Gods' way is if you believe first then I'll prove to you it's real. We do this by open mindedly listening to the Word and recieving it into our spirit.The Word of God is spiritual seed.
How do i know i have recived holy spirit before baptism? Do i need to repent of everything before reciving holy spirit? The onlynthingmleft i need to repent of is unforgiveness i dont thinkmi am qble to do yhat without the holy spirit...
Hey Selice! To receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit all you need to do is accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and put your faith in Him. This is salvation. There are no works required to receive the Holy Spirit. Read Galatians 3:2-4. Once you put your faith in Him, it’s the Holy Spirit that leads you to all truth and sanctifies you to be more like Christ. Read Romans 12:2. The baptism of the Holy Spirit (which is what I am referring to in this video) is not the same as receiving the Holy Spirit which happens at salvation when you put your faith in Jesus. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the additional filling of the Holy Spirit and this is accompanied by speaking in tongues. So how do you know that you’ve been baptized with the Holy Spirit? A clear sign is speaking in tongues.
@@viviani8320 Sister, the charismatic blessing is not an additional "filling." Fillings, if you consider the Greek, are temporary (with the "possible" exception of a few apostles and the like??). If God wanted to imply the HG Baptism as an additional filling to fullness or overflow, He could've used the Greek (Strongs #1072; pots of water into wine, etc.; or even just #4137) for such instead of #4130. The 2nd Blessing is one UPON us. We are clothed with it. It can momentarily fill us when speaking for God [etc. -ed.], if so ordained. Otherwise, it rests upon us; a repose.
Selice, salvation is a process. I was 12 when I first asked Jesus into my life. There was little change. At 16 I dated an Evangelical girl and began going to church "as an adult," joined the choir, joined a Bible study. There was little change in me. At 26 I committed a terrible sin (not so much in the world's eyes but in God's and mine). God gave me GODLY sorrow and remorse, gave me repentance, granted me deliverance and forgiveness: for the first time I felt myself "a new creature," knew that I knew I received a new S(s)pirit from the Heavenly Father. When we see our sin for what it is, through the lens of God, and believe ourselves equal to if not greater than others in our sinfulness: not only does it move us along in the process of salvation but it gives us the edge we need to forgive others. (Knowing how Satan has a great ability to take unknowing people captive to do his will, also helps us forgive others.) I love you.
8:29 the scriptures say that each person is given a gift. One of those gifts speaking could be speaking in tongues . Yet you say that everyone can speak in tongues. Can someone explain this??
Good question! It is the Holy Spirit that distributes the gifts and He decides which gift each person should have. However, Jesus tells us that "all those who believe (have faith) will be able to speak in tongues" (Mark 16:17) and God tells us that He is "working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him" (Philippians 2:13). So if God has given you a desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, then it's because it's His will for you to receive this gift. But, the key to receiving the gift is childlike faith. When you have a desire to speak in tongues, the worst thing you can do is believe that it's not for you because only certain people have this gift. This is what I believed for years and that's the reason why I never received it (even though I had a desire). Once I decided to just have faith, that's when I received the gift! If you have a desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, then I encourage you to ask God for it :)
Thanks so much for explaining this. So It says be baptized and you shall receive the gift of the holy spirit . This to me, means I’m saved since I was baptized in Jesus name. It doesn’t say that tongues is the way to salvation. Or is there scriptures that say I’m wrong??
@@princesssmor1 You are doing good as you are a believer and seeker of God. Jesus said that those who believe in Him,out of their innermost being/ belly shall flow Rivers of Living Water. John chapter 7 verses 38 and 39. The Holy Spirit is this Living water or life giving water. The more you thirst after God the more He fills you with His Spirit. You can be a believer in Christ without speaking in tongues. But to be effective in spiritual manifestations of God you will need more of the Holy Spirit. The Lord will fill your cup to overflow with his Spirit. The Key is to know more of the Holy Spirit while living for Christ Jesus. Yes, we have to live in this natural world but when we connect with God's Spirit, the Spirit will guide us into all truth. Peace and Be Blessed.
Matthew 12:38-39 (38) Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. (39) But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: Mark 16:17-18 (17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
God bless this sister, but the apostles didn't recieve the Holy Spirit until the day of pentecost. The proof of this is in Acts ch.10. After the gentiles had recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues Peter turned to the six with him and said," Can any man forbid baptism to these that have recieved the Holy Spirit just as we did. The only way this can be true is if Peter had spoke in tongues when he recieved which he did on the day of pentecost in Acts ch.2.
I follow Jesus and live my life according to the Bible. I am not a part of any denomination. I personally don’t believe in separate denominations (1 Corinthians 3:4). We are all followers of Jesus. From my experience, denominations ultimately divide the body of Christ.
@@viviani8320 I’ve ever saw it that way. Thank you Vivian for your insights. I’m not even sure if I am suppose to be in a denomination. Can you pray for me ? I’m looking for a job that is right for me. I know the lord knows me the best so I’ve been trying to figure out. Please and thank you.
Oh my GOODNESS Vivian! So absolutely BLESSED by your sharing and your comment! I too am now a Spirit-fed BELIEVER & FOLLOWER and got baptised in the Holy Spirit receiving the beautiful gift of the Holy Spirit! Isn’t God Glorious! Isn’t the Holy Spirit MARVELOUS and Victorious - redeeming us from stale religion and showing us the way out. No denomination is The Way & Truth. Man makes religion. Jesus makes us Living apostles and sons and daughters. Besides the gift of our Glorious Jesus, the Baptism with the gift of speaking in tongues is sooooo beautiful. The Holy Spirit led me to see your video today to keep encouraging me to do as Paul did - keep using the gift and bathing my tongue to speak the oracles of God. It is so incredible. Would love to speak with you more about it if you would ever invite a zoom call, I would love to celebrate and BE INSPIRED about it with you. I am the only one in my whole family birth line and blood line to receive this GIFT but I am believing the Holy Spirit to do a MIGHTY WORK in my husband and our children - that they will be tongue-Speaking Spirit filled believers who love God with all their hearts souls mind and strength and that religion gets removed and replaced by a Living Faith - FAITH ON FIRE 🔥…that is how True Transformation takes place. Blessings to you!
Many Chrsitians stumble at the very strangeness of speaking in languages you have never learned. On the one hand some Christians think that its only meant to preach the Gosple to speakers of other languages. There is no doubt that that has happened in various places. But to believe that you can speak in unlearned languages as a prayer to God, is beyond their imagination. The3 same people will often laud what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:27 - "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" I want those people who have difficulty in believing that God would give an unlearned language to a believer as a meams of personal prayer, to apply this statement of Paul to this gift of speaking in tongues as a prayer language. It sounds foolish to the rational mind - too many Christians try to understand the Bible (NT) - with their rational minds - but it is a matter of the spirit. So while it sounds foolish even to many Christians, just remember that God does chose foolish things to confound any rational mindset. Surrender to Jesus Christ and let Him bless you fellow believer.
It’s crazy how many believers don’t believe that the initial evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives you utterance, many believers believe you can have the Holy Spirt without never speaking in tongues when this not true . Every Holy Sprit filled believe can speak in tongues and pray in tongues
I received the Holy Ghost yesterday!!!! I spoke in tongues for the first time. 🙏🏽🙌🏽 This is my birthday month and Christ has given me the greatest gift 😊

This is a gift that I am so hungry for. I pray to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and evidence of speaking in tongues.

Go to an apostolic pentecostal church. When the altar call is given go up there and tell them that you would like to recieve the Holy Spirit baptism. They will pray with you until it happens. When you pray don't focus on anything but Jesus.
Same here....
In your prayer time, tell the Lord your hearts desire, ask him to lead you to a place of worship of His choice where you will be taught the truth. Everything you need is in God’s Word.
did you recieve it yet?
So glad to hear your testimony!! I wanted Tongues and was told I could not have it by a church member in 2000. I closed my bedroom door locked it got on my knees and told God I'm here until I get Tongues! Well hours later it came so powerful it took my English for over 12 hours! It was so wonderful! Yes so I'm so glad to hear yours testimony it's so rare! Gid bless you!
The same year I was Annointed or Baptized by the Holy Spirit as my heart was on fire during a laying on of hands back in England when I was 14
HalleluYah Glory to Abba YAHUAH
Please speak the subject & not wasting time of 4 minutes & plus in making ground of talk.

You receive the Holy Spirit upon conversion. You will know who the true converts are by their Fruits, NOT by their gifts, which can be easily faked like tongues, which has since ceased.
I recieved the Holy Spirit this past Sunday night and WoW whata glorious feeling it is!! I can't praise Jesus enough for filling me with the Holy Ghost!
Praise YAH

It's always feelings, experiences and manifestations with you people. We are to have mind of Christ. Tongues have ceased. Jibberish isn't tongues
Guess what????? It happened girl!!!! To God be the glory!!!! Three days after being baptized in the Holy Spirit! My prayer life has been amazing. 🎉thanks for your testimony ❤
I hope many people see your testimony, it's awesome! It's hard to describe how receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit takes things to a whole other level, in so many ways. All I know is when I received Him it was one of the best days of my life. I'm grateful for the gifts He gives, where I am led to pray in tongues in intercession for someone else. Many times I feel like it's someone somewhere far away, like in Asia (or anywhere on Earth) who is suicidal and has no one else to pray for them. The Holy Spirit knows and leads us to intercede. You can feel when there's been a breakthrough. Tongues not only edify us, they edify others and I know demons hate that. That's why there's so many lies out there about the gifts of the Spirit, because all of them do damage to satan's plans. Demons despise tongues because they can't understand it and it's like nails on a chalkboard to them. One thing I like to do is sing in tongues. The Holy Spirit will give us songs to praise the Lord, it just flows naturally. I could go on and on, but I don't want to write a whole book lol. I just love your video and you're just so animated and lovely. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is a real blessing. I know you make Jesus proud and that you'll get lots of people saved and Spirit filled!
Amen! If you wrote a book I’d read it!

Many times we really don't know how to pray for someone because we don't know what they need. The Holy Ghost knows.
@@eddiehaywood5392 Exactly. His prayer is always perfect because He knows what to pray for. That's so comforting!
Absolutely! He is the key to intimacy with the Lord and all the gifts that come with Him.. His heart and yours side by side. @starlightmckennah5241
I love the genuine humility that comes through this gal...she's so articulate and well spoken ! This hunger and thirst she speaks of is what I've been meditating on from 1 Peter 5 and Revelaion 20 and 21 zand Acts 19....a thirst for more of the Holy Spirit is a GIFT ! God gives to those who ask , seek and knock !!!!
I just listened to your testimony of how you were baptized with the Holy Spirit. It’s amazing, praise the lord. I have been praying for this gift too. I am very anxious and thirsty for the Holy Spirit. Please help me by praying that the Lord should baptize me too not too long from now. Praise God!
did you recieve it yet?
I can relate to this, in expectation of mine. God have mercy...
Before i recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues i couldn't understand the scriptures to.the point to where if i had asked anybody about how to be saved i would have believed them whether they knew what they were talking about or not.
This is what hundreds of millions of believers in catholic and protestant churches did. And they weren't told the truth of how to be saved.
After i arrived home from recieving the Holy Spirit i decided to read a little from the Bible before bed.
When i opened it up.and started reading i was stunned. Suddenly it had taken on much more depth and i became aware of the Spirit that i had recieved was guiding me and teaching me the meaning of what i was reading.
It wasn't until.later that i read the scripture," The anointing you have recieved of him abideth in you and you need no man to teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you of all things,and is truth and is no lie,as even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him".(1John 2:27)
Amen 🙌✝️🕊️❤️🔥👑 Glory to The Father The Son and Holy Spirit The Activation/baptism of The Holy Spirit amazing The Gifts He gives us from his Grace love and Faith He gave us is unmatched 🙌✝️🕊️❤️🔥🔥🐑🩸👑 Not everyone has The same gifts but I Have tongues aswell I Love you all ❤️🔥💜💕 I for all who are wondering Never heard of gifts of the Spirit Until I read The Bible I just read word for word I personally and a few friends I now know never heard of The gift and Got it just reading the Bible and it’s Really powerful Glory to You God 👑
I love your explanation and heart and being so genuine in explaining this. I grew up southern Baptist as a preachers kid and just the last several years I’ve been in a church that shows evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit. This year got has been pruning my life and changing my heart and desires. The last few months I spoke in tongues unexpectedly at my home then a month later was completely consumed by the Holy spirit at church. My hands and arms where so hot and tingly like electricity moving through me and I spoke in tongues again. Like it was a loud mouth chatter like when your freezing but intense for a long time. I felt I was being delivered I was being filled, peace was being given
I’ve been wanting to receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost since may 2022, but I know God will give it to me on His timing. I remember being on the phone with my friend group. We were all praying and this was the hardest I had ever prayed! So I’m going hard in prayer while my friends are speaking in tongues and I feel something in my belly as if I was about to speak in tongues.. but I guess I got scared because I wasn’t sure what was going on🤣it felt like a fire and a heavy urge to let it out. But I know I will receive it🙏🏽🙌🏾so thankyou for this video and for your obedience 🤍
When you are praying and believing for the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Pray an audible prayer. The Holy Ghost will not make you open your mouth. I have many times see Christian filled wile they were praising God.
@@eddiehaywood5392 what advice would you give someone who desires so much to speak in the Holy Ghost but hadn’t been able to? Do you think I should go on a fast? Do you think I have unbelief and that’s the reason? I appreciate any advice.
@dionnejhall8994 Hello Dionne. The Holy Ghost is a Gift received by Faith just like salvation. So many times I have see people receive the Holy Ghost while praising God. The Bible teaches us that it's a river of living water springing up from our inner most being. People receive the Holy Ghost in different ways. You don't have to plead with God. You only have to believe when you are praying, tell The Lord you want it with a prayer from your mouth. When you begin to feel like different words are trying to come, yeld to what you feel and hear. I remember after God filled me my first thought was. Wow that was easy, I should have gotten the Holy Ghost long time ago. The very part of God that the church needs, many churches teach against it. Keep praying and seeking God. It will come.
@@eddiehaywood5392 Hi Eddie, thank you so much for replying. I believe it will happen too. God has done so many miracles in my life just to share a few I used to be addicted to alcohol and be overcome by depression and anxiety and I am now 2 1/2 years sober God completely delivered me from it I don’t have any temptation or urges just completely delivered me from it. A year into my sobriety I was going through a normal day and I was recognising the devil was lying to me about a few things that God showed me and I went on my knees and I just began to thank God for showing me that the devil was lying to me and the most amazing thing happened I had an experience with God‘s presence that I’ve never had before. It was the most amazing experience that I’ve ever had in my life I was in God’s tangible presence and it was so marvellous that all I could do was cry and praise Him. God has delivered me from depression and anxiety and so much more. Thank you so much for replying. I will wait on the Lord while thanking Him for what He has already done.
Be very penitent; repent and see how much of a sinner you are in front of a Holy God, then ask Jesus for a drink, even a sip, of Living Water - You will receive.
Remember me in your prayers I have been seeking the Lord for this experience for many many years now
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. Mark Hemans//
Thank you woman of God! Tongues is real I’ve personally have witnessed the most powerful moves of God I’ve seen in my lifetime!! I myself had panic attacks at one time in my life ! On the way to ER last time it tried to come on me . I started speaking in my prayer language and it departed immediately!! Anyone reading this 2 Tim 1:7 God did not give us a spirit of fear !! Prayer language is all you need !!!! She is right on with this video!!! So powerful!!!!!!! Glory to God !!
My sister I just finished watching this video, and with tears running down my eyes , I want to say thank you the encouragement, it is my earnest desire to be Baptist in the Holy Spirit fire n power n speaking in tongues, just like you, someone prophesy to me that God said I going to get it without they even knowing I was desiring it and praying to God the very day about it, I had dreams of me speaking my heavenly language but,,,,I wasn't searching for you this morning or video of it, however, you popped up on my feed and I ate this morning, and I believe it's God using your obedience to do the video to encourage me today, that He hasn't forgotten me. Thank you for you obedience my sister, you've truly blessed me, continue to walk in His obedience, amen
Amen! All glory be to God!
God is the one who put the desire in you to want to get baptized in the Holy Spirit and He will be the one who gives you gift.
Philippians 2:13, “For God is working in you giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” He first gave you the desire and now the power is on the way. Keep seeking the Lord for it. He is faithful. ❤

I am praying for the gift of tongues. Thank you for sharing your testimony Vivian
Get a couple of believers that have spoke in tongues and have them take you aside privately.
As the pray for you, don't pray to speak in tongues, pray for the Lord to fill you with the Holy Spirit.
Keep doing so until the Lord answers your prayer and fills you( You will know when it happens).
Then open your mouth and start relaxing your tongue as a way of surrendering it.
Keep doing so until the Holy Spirit gives you the ability to speak in tongues.
Don't try to imitate anyone praying with you. Focus only on Jesus !
Dear Vivian, Thank you! I really enjoyed to hear your testimony. Well l don't follow any specific religion but l am a strong believer in God and his/her love and l believe there are many different ways to contact with God (as Christian, Muslim etc)
Nice to see that you are able to receive his/her Love.

🙌✝️🕊️❤️🔥I’m curious what you think cause I would like to say for all who are Seeking The activation / baptism of The spirit - Not everyone I know has The same gifts - ”There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.“

Just a heads up to those who get this Baptism from Jesus - the devil will try to disappoint you after, and you may also feel like you need to 'work' (the wrong kind) because of this incredible. glorious, Grace - do not fear, BE STILL (you cannot pay God back!) and continue to walk with God day by day - God Loves you and you are allowed to be excited even if people around you don't understand; you can always fellowship with Jesus and Praise Him all the more. Keep going, it doesn't end here...God bless you and make sure you fill your mind with hope(ful things that have Truth and Grace from God) in the days to come. Amen.

For clarification, there is a difference between speaking in tongues when you’re just baptized with the Holy Spirit and the Gift of Tongues also known as Diver Tongues
1) when a person is filled with the Holy Spirit they speak in tongues as the the spirit gives the utterance. This is the INITIAL EVIDENCE that they have just been filled with the Holy Spirit. When Peter preached to Cornelius (Acts 10) this was the confirmation that Cornelius and his household had received the infilling of the Holy Spirit, they spake in new tongues as the spirit gave the utterance. Today when someone receives the infilling of the Holy Spirit the initial evidence or the first confirmation is that they speak in new tongues as the spirit gives the utterance. (Acts 2:4-8)
2) there are 9 gifts of the spirit which includes diver tongues. A person cannot be used in the gifts of the spirit without first being baptized with the Holy Spirit. How can you have the gift but not the spirit? Diver tongues is not the initial evidence that someone has received the Holy Spirit and we need to keep these things separate. Diver tongues is God using an already Holy Ghost filled believer to bring a message in tongues. This is often followed by another of the 9 gifts “interpretation of tongues” where the message God gave to a person in tongues is now interpreted into a human language by another person not too long after the diver tongues. None of these gifts come without first being baptized with the Holy Spirit.
AMEN SISTER!

Greetings, everyone. I was baptized today in Jesus' name, but I didn't receive the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. What do I need to do to wait or tarry for it? Any advice?
Did you Feel it go and surround you if so , Not everyone gets the same gifts from what Ik ”There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

That what i was thought too
IMPORTANT BIBLE QUESTIONS??
Is there initial evidence when a believer is Empowered to Witness by the Holy Spirit?
I’m not saying that there are no exceptions to this, but I do believe that Tongues were the only Biblical evidence given in Acts chapter 10, and chapter 19. Notice there was no other evidence given. I’m not saying that there are no exceptions, but they are the exception! Do we teach the normal Biblical pattern or the exception? We must teach the Biblical pattern, and not the exception. If we did, in this day and age of doubt no one would even desire the true power to witness! Speaking in Tongues is a powerful weapon as well as the sign the Spirit has enabled you to boldly proclaim Christ!
I served the Lord for a while without the Power of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Later on when I was Baptized with the Holy Spirit I spoke in Tongues like Acts 2, Acts 10, Acts 19 and my Boldness to Witness became a Thousand Fold!! Why? The change in boldness came only after I spoke in tongues. Amazing!! What is it that made me loose my Tongue to witness in English? I believe it was the Tongue of Fire that came with Holy Ghost tongues.
I believe that one can believe in Jesus and not receive the Power to Witness. One is Born again by believing, but empowered to witness by the in-filling. Look at Acts 8, they believed and were even Water Baptized but the Holy Spirit did not fall upon them until later.
Also In Acts 11, and 15, when Peter spoke about Cornelius, he said, that God put no difference between us and them, and gave them the same gift the Apostles received in Acts 2.
How did they know? Their only evidence was they heard them speak in Tongues!
Also, in Acts 19, Paul asked certain disciples if they received the Holy Spirit since, or when they believed?
Why even ask that question if people receive the Spirit at belief?? I believe the journey of being Born again begins at belief, but there is more.
Why? Because, the only
normative pattern in the Book of Acts to receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit, is repentance, water Baptism, Spirit Baptism with the evidence of Tongues.
I also have seen too many Christians, who served the Lord for many years, finally speak as the Spirit gave them utterance, and were transformed by boldness. Why?
Also, in Acts 11, when Peter was explaining his encounter with Cornelius he said…
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Then in Acts 15, at the counsel, Peter said..,
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Wow! Today many Churches put Differences between the Apostles and believers.
But Peter says…
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put NO DIFFERENCE between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
So do you agree with me?
That the normal Biblical Evidence of receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit to witness is speaking in tongues?
If not, In Acts 8, how did they know the Holy Spirit wasn’t yet given to the Samaritans? Even though they believed and were Water Baptized.
The Apostles had to come up later and lay hands on them to receive! Why??
Revelation 3:18 also talks about this baptism of fire. "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment (righteousness), that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve (the opening of the spiritual eyes), that thou mayest see."

Praise the lord. I am very curious to know holy spirit tongue please pray for me. My name is jung 😊
I'm really not sure if I have experienced that. Please pray for me...
What do you say about 1 Corinthians 14:27,28 that says anytime there is speaking in tongues in the church there MUST be an interpretation.
That Would be most likely a different tongue one that Is Like called for an interpretation Hope that Helps my brother ❤️🔥🙌✝️🕊️
Thank you so much for your testimony sister. Please when you refer to the Holy Spirit, please say Him not it. Get close to Him! He wants a relationship with you, He wants to be your best friend. Invite Him everywhere you go. Talk to Him like you would a friend and just hang out with Him. I recommend reading the book Good morning, Holy Spirit by Benny Hinn. Another book I recommend is Host the Holy Ghost by Vladimir Savchuk.
Amen! Thanks for sharing those recommendations. I appreciate it 🙏🏾

How can I be a part of the prayer group
Speaking in " tongues" is speaking in one spiritual language. Paul calls it the unknown tongues "that no man knoweth".
If " no man knows it" then its not a language native to this world.
When i pray in English its source os my mind, but if i speak in this unknown tongue its source is my spirit.
The first time we speak in this language it is scriptural proof that we have recieved the Holy Spirit. Afterwards, it is my spirit interceding for me for self edification.The gift of speaking tongues is a different operation of speaking in tongues and it is for the edification of a church gathering.
The gift of speaking in " tongues" is a gift that God gives to those He pleases to and is to be accompanied by a believer that has the gift of interpretation so that all in a church assembly may be edified.
It felt like minutes but it was hours I was on my knees between 2-3 hours!!!
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. Mark Hemans//
:You said new tongues for the Scripture, but on the screen the Scripture said language. Interesting.
Do we have to get baptized in order to make it into heaven? I believe in our lord… I always thought getting the Holy Ghost was through prayer… I just want to be apart of the after life, with our lord… and would love my family get baptized with me
Romans 10 vs 9 states If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead you will be saved. For it is with your heart you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth you profess your faith and are saved. So no you do not have to be baptized by water to be saved. But that said it is commanded that you have a water baptism. Jesus was also commanded to be baptized, his baptism was done by John the Baptist. Continue to pursuit the lord and read his word and you will be filled with the knowledge you are looking for.
did you perform any miracles since you were baptized_
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)××
How HILARIOUS!!! DO you truly believe God has any referal to use Facebook, or ANY social media???
Jesus is god in your fantasy. In reality he's a human just like you and me. Wake up guys!
To believe in Jesus and salvation is different from how we believe in things naturally.
In the natural we believe in something once we are shown proof. Gods' way is if you believe first then I'll prove to you it's real.
We do this by open mindedly listening to the Word and recieving it into our spirit.The Word of God is spiritual seed.
When you were baptized was it the name of Jesus?
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. Mark Hemans//
How do i know i have recived holy spirit before baptism? Do i need to repent of everything before reciving holy spirit? The onlynthingmleft i need to repent of is unforgiveness i dont thinkmi am qble to do yhat without the holy spirit...
Hey Selice! To receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit all you need to do is accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and put your faith in Him. This is salvation. There are no works required to receive the Holy Spirit. Read Galatians 3:2-4.
Once you put your faith in Him, it’s the Holy Spirit that leads you to all truth and sanctifies you to be more like Christ. Read Romans 12:2.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit (which is what I am referring to in this video) is not the same as receiving the Holy Spirit which happens at salvation when you put your faith in Jesus. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the additional filling of the Holy Spirit and this is accompanied by speaking in tongues.
So how do you know that you’ve been baptized with the Holy Spirit? A clear sign is speaking in tongues.
@@viviani8320
Sister, the charismatic blessing is not an additional "filling." Fillings, if you consider the Greek, are temporary (with the "possible" exception of a few apostles and the like??).
If God wanted to imply the HG Baptism as an additional filling to fullness or overflow, He could've used the Greek (Strongs #1072; pots of water into wine, etc.; or even just #4137) for such instead of #4130.
The 2nd Blessing is one UPON us. We are clothed with it. It can momentarily fill us when speaking for God [etc. -ed.], if so ordained. Otherwise, it rests upon us; a repose.
Is praying in tongues the same as speaking in tongues? 2.Is speaking in tongues a prayer language?
We speak in tongues first as the initial evidence that you have recieved the Holy Spirit.
Afterwards, it is your private prayer language.
How do i know i have recived the spirit before baptism?
Any answers
Selice, salvation is a process.
I was 12 when I first asked Jesus into my life. There was little change.
At 16 I dated an Evangelical girl and began going to church "as an adult," joined the choir, joined a Bible study. There was little change in me.
At 26 I committed a terrible sin (not so much in the world's eyes but in God's and mine). God gave me GODLY sorrow and remorse, gave me repentance, granted me deliverance and forgiveness: for the first time I felt myself "a new creature," knew that I knew I received a new S(s)pirit from the Heavenly Father.
When we see our sin for what it is, through the lens of God, and believe ourselves equal to if not greater than others in our sinfulness: not only does it move us along in the process of salvation but it gives us the edge we need to forgive others. (Knowing how Satan has a great ability to take unknowing people captive to do his will, also helps us forgive others.)
I love you.

The Holy Spirit is recieved by the believer as the
result of the Holy Spirit baptism.

8:29 the scriptures say that each person is given a gift. One of those gifts speaking could be speaking in tongues . Yet you say that everyone can speak in tongues. Can someone explain this??
Good question! It is the Holy Spirit that distributes the gifts and He decides which gift each person should have. However, Jesus tells us that "all those who believe (have faith) will be able to speak in tongues" (Mark 16:17) and God tells us that He is "working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him" (Philippians 2:13). So if God has given you a desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, then it's because it's His will for you to receive this gift. But, the key to receiving the gift is childlike faith. When you have a desire to speak in tongues, the worst thing you can do is believe that it's not for you because only certain people have this gift. This is what I believed for years and that's the reason why I never received it (even though I had a desire). Once I decided to just have faith, that's when I received the gift! If you have a desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, then I encourage you to ask God for it :)
Praying in tongues is the Entry Level into the Spiritual Realm. Go read the. Dave Roberson Tongues Book (Walk with Spirit, Walk with Power).

Thanks so much for explaining this.
So It says be baptized and you shall receive the gift of the holy spirit . This to me, means I’m saved since I was baptized in Jesus name. It doesn’t say that tongues is the way to salvation. Or is there scriptures that say I’m wrong??
@@princesssmor1 You are doing good as you are a believer and seeker of God.
Jesus said that those who believe in Him,out of their innermost being/ belly shall flow Rivers of Living Water. John chapter 7 verses 38 and 39.
The Holy Spirit is this Living water or life giving water.
The more you thirst after God the more He fills you with His Spirit.
You can be a believer in Christ without speaking in tongues. But to be effective in spiritual manifestations of God you will need more of the Holy Spirit. The Lord will fill your cup to overflow with his Spirit.
The Key is to know more of the Holy Spirit while living for Christ Jesus. Yes, we have to live in this natural world but when we connect with God's Spirit, the Spirit will guide us into all truth.
Peace and Be Blessed.
I want to be part of the wattsup group

Matthew 12:38-39
(38) Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
(39) But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Mark 16:17-18
(17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
(18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

God bless this sister, but the apostles didn't recieve the Holy Spirit until the day of pentecost. The proof of this is in Acts ch.10. After the gentiles had recieved the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues Peter turned to the six with him and said," Can any man forbid baptism to these that have recieved the Holy Spirit just as we did. The only way this can be true is if Peter had spoke in tongues when he recieved which he did on the day of pentecost in Acts ch.2.
What denomination did the lord lead you to
I follow Jesus and live my life according to the Bible. I am not a part of any denomination.
I personally don’t believe in separate denominations (1 Corinthians 3:4). We are all followers of Jesus. From my experience, denominations ultimately divide the body of Christ.
@@viviani8320 I’ve ever saw it that way. Thank you Vivian for your insights. I’m not even sure if I am suppose to be in a denomination. Can you pray for me ? I’m looking for a job that is right for me. I know the lord knows me the best so I’ve been trying to figure out. Please and thank you.
@@whattime9789 Of course! I prayed for you and will continue to pray for you.
@@viviani8320 thank you Vivian I’m grateful thankkk you!
Oh my GOODNESS Vivian! So absolutely BLESSED by your sharing and your comment! I too am now a Spirit-fed BELIEVER & FOLLOWER and got baptised in the Holy Spirit receiving the beautiful gift of the Holy Spirit! Isn’t God Glorious! Isn’t the Holy Spirit MARVELOUS and Victorious - redeeming us from stale religion and showing us the way out. No denomination is The Way & Truth. Man makes religion. Jesus makes us Living apostles and sons and daughters. Besides the gift of our Glorious Jesus, the Baptism with the gift of speaking in tongues is sooooo beautiful. The Holy Spirit led me to see your video today to keep encouraging me to do as Paul did - keep using the gift and bathing my tongue to speak the oracles of God. It is so incredible. Would love to speak with you more about it if you would ever invite a zoom call, I would love to celebrate and BE INSPIRED about it with you. I am the only one in my whole family birth line and blood line to receive this GIFT but I am believing the Holy Spirit to do a MIGHTY WORK in my husband and our children - that they will be tongue-Speaking Spirit filled believers who love God with all their hearts souls mind and strength and that religion gets removed and replaced by a Living Faith - FAITH ON FIRE 🔥…that is how True Transformation takes place. Blessings to you!
So if u don't speak in tongues, u don't have the Holy Spirit ??
No. You have it once you are a born again believer.
It's not necessary, some are gifted with other spiritual gifts

Many Chrsitians stumble at the very strangeness of speaking in languages you have never learned. On the one hand some Christians think that its only meant to preach the Gosple to speakers of other languages. There is no doubt that that has happened in various places.
But to believe that you can speak in unlearned languages as a prayer to God, is beyond their imagination.
The3 same people will often laud what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:27 - "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"
I want those people who have difficulty in believing that God would give an unlearned language to a believer as a meams of personal prayer, to apply this statement of Paul to this gift of speaking in tongues as a prayer language.
It sounds foolish to the rational mind - too many Christians try to understand the Bible (NT) - with their rational minds - but it is a matter of the spirit. So while it sounds foolish even to many Christians, just remember that God does chose foolish things to confound any rational mindset. Surrender to Jesus Christ and let Him bless you fellow believer.

So you say that you knew it in your heart?
Jeremiah 17:9
[9] The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
Speaking in tongues,This is the reward for the people who are obedient to God’s ten commandment
Hello about baptism of holy spirit fire 🔥. Is not really in the Bible.

It’s crazy how many believers don’t believe that the initial evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives you utterance, many believers believe you can have the Holy Spirt without never speaking in tongues when this not true . Every Holy Sprit filled believe can speak in tongues and pray in tongues
