I trust you ... and my people are hungry but not with experience in demonology.. hope they will be open only to what is coming from God.. we have such a big responsability. To make things clear.. God's grace be with all of us..
👊😇Isaiah + EVERYONE seeking to know how the "early church" dealt with deliverance, Gifts of the spirit ect can read a log kept by "Clement". It turns out Clement who was discipled by Peter, John, Barnabas & Zachas, "KEPT A JOURNAL"!! 🤯 Someone translated the 18 books from Greek and they are available on "New Advent" Under Clementine Homily 1-18, or just throw that in the Google search. Clement goes through pages of details on demonic deliverance, ministry & endless concessionism movement lies exposed... and im only a few books in!!!
Been watching you for awhile Isaiah, to understand you more. I now know you are preaching false doctrines. You often twist scripture to fit your narrative and focus too much on these tongues and prophecy you think God is showing you. The only thing that matters is the Gospel, delivering souls to the lord! You often take what Jesus said directly to the twelve as an instruction for you and I. There is a distinct difference between the disciples and us. Give people context instead of slivers of scripture. Isaiah is a false teacher. You have a PayPal and venmo?? After giving a Christian conference so much grief over asking for a fee. You are shameful sir!
Isaiah I am a Jewish believer in Jesus and I live in Israel. Thank you for praying for Israel, my people, and all of the innocent here. I’ve been listening to you for the last couple of years and your ministry has blessed me so much. I’ve turned to you so many times for wisdom and encouragement in the Lord. I’ve sat in the bomb shelter several times since this started, crying out to God while rockets were exploding nearby, while my dearest friends in the army are fighting on the frontline. It was so encouraging to hear your prayers tonight and feel support from someone I look up to. God bless you ❤
Guys I'm one of the most skeptical Christians out there but even I admit that speaking in tongues is a real thing. As a kid I used to deal with a lot of anxiety, depression and uncontrollable thoughts of losing my mind. It was absolutely horrible. One day I got so fed up with it and decided to tell my mother everything I was going through. My mother was and still is a hardcore Christian in love with God. She started to pray over me with her hand over my head and as her prayer grew louder and stronger she started speaking a language that I didn't know. It sounded a little like Hebrew but at the same time sounded like something completely different. It startled me at first, but I quickly knew she was speaking a heavenly language. It definitely wasn't gibberish. Even though I didn't understand what she was saying, I knew it was real communication. My anxiety left after that and her prayers helped me gain peace. Ever since that day, I took tongues seriously and won't ever dare to mock it.
Skeptical or a Berean- like Christian who searches and tests spirits according to scripture as we all should do anyway. Keep in order and scripture, God is Holy & isn't in disorderly or confusion ruled environment
My husband and I were recently going through deliverance with our friend. At one point, we no longer knew what to do, and the Holy Spirit lead my husband and I both to pray in tongues. Once we started to pray in the spirit for about ten minutes, the demons started coming out of our friend. And thank You, Jesus, our friend has been freed from every single demon! 👏🏼👏🏼 Speaking/praying in tongues is REAL, thank You, Holy Spirit for interceding God’s perfect will for us through praying in tongues.
I had the same experience with an ex coworker at the time. She was manifesting and talking about suicide. I started to pray for her and then I prayed in tongues and she about fell. She said "everytime you would start praying in tongues my leg felt like giving out." Long story short The Lord led me later on to help assist her in deliverance and praying in tongues was a HUGE part of it. When I would pray in tongues those demons would manifest and growl like crazy! But it was time they had to come out. You can't make this stuff up. God is good. 😁
I went through deliverance myself and when tongues were spoken during that time, i was tormented in a way. Would cover my ears and scream my head off. It was like fire
I pleaded with God to give me the gift. I heard "Just start speaking" but I felt I couldn't do it so I didn't. A week later I pleaded again for Him to give me strength to speak in tongues and I opened my mouth and it just started flowing out! Thank you God !
Thank you for your testimony friend :) I wanted to speak in tongues so badly but my faith was lacking and I couldn’t “just start speaking”, like i would open my mouth and nothing came out. After a few weeks of praying i literally FELT the fire of the Holy Spirit and i was able to pray in tongues after that. Glory to God fr
Testimony: I desperately was in need and I cried out to God and in that moment I begin to pray in tongues and the next day I got everything that I needed so I truly believe in speaking in tongues and it is next level, necessary and available to anyone who wants it. I know this video wasn’t intended to be funny but I laughed out loud a few times.
@@alvalebron6761 If you’re asking how I prayed in tongues it wasn’t intentional like I said I cried out to him and my heart was sincere and vulnerable before him I think that’s what allowed the Holy Spirit to come and intervene on my behalf.
As far as “peer pressure” goes, I was literally baptized in the Holy Spirit in my home while praying for a “block to be lifted off of my prayers”. I had felt like I couldn’t pray for years, and in that moment, this was supernaturally lifted off of me, and I began to speak in tongues. It is beautiful, it is biblical, and literally lifted so much off of my own shoulders. When I don’t know how to pray, the Holy Spirit does for me.
I feel that same block. I'm so glad I read your post. I will pray for that block to be lifted. Maybe that will help me too. Even if I never speak in tongues, which I do want to, I at least want to pray more. It shouldn't be hard, but for me, it usually is. But, when it matters most for someone else, I can pray like never before, and GOD answers faithfully!!! Everytime. But I can only think 9f 3 times that has happened. Other times, it is not so easy. Idk why?
My experience of speaking in tongues wasn't peer pressure as Allen put it at all !! It was the grace and presence of the Holy Spirit that I received this gift by faith, and I'm an ex Muslim!! I wasn't even around other believers to have peer pressure!! I asked the Holy Spirit and received it by faith. Speaking in tongues really strengthens and blesses the believer and raises our faith drastically. I am thankful, Holy Spirit 🙏🙏
I've never heard of an ex-Muslim who speaks in tongues! I'm 101% sure it happens to them just like everyone else, it's just the first time hearing it 😁 I loved reading your comment
Same here, I got filled praying one morning in bed after seeking God and asking him to fill me with the Holy Spirit and no one was around me. I was all alone when it happened no peer pressure and it changed my life, I was drawn closer to God and glorified him even more.
This hurts my heart. I love Allen, but I am praying that the Holy Spirit will open his eyes to the truth about tongues so that he will stop discouraging people from being obedient to Scripture. The Bible tells us to earnestly desire spiritual gifts.😢
Speaking in tongues is something that opened up a door for me. I felt different. Lighter. Brighter. I started to transform. The Holy Spirit has been moulding me. Sometimes, i cant seem to remember who i was before. Receiving His Spirit is a big blessing. We all have a chance to experience it.
Speaking in tongues is not only a gift (1 Corinthians 12:4 & v10), it is 1 of the 5 powers of miraculous signs and wonders of the Apostles (Mark 16:17). The only way a believer can perform the miraculous sign and wonder of speaking in tongues is by an Apostle (Acts 1:15-26) baptizing you with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5) by placing hands on you (Acts 19:6 & Acts 8:17) or by an Apostle speaking to you (Acts 10:44 & Acts 11:15). All the Apostles are dead, the believers they lay hands on or spoke to are dead and the 7 chosen men (Acts 6:2-6 & Acts 6:8 & Acts 8:6-8) are dead so the miraculous sign and wonder of speaking in tongues is non-existing along with the other 4 miraculous signs and wonders. We must follow the bible example of this subject. FOLLOW PATTERN & EXAMPLE Philippians 3:17 carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you. 1 Corinthians 4:6 Do not go beyond what is written... 1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
This is an experience example but one day my sister in law was kneeling down and said to God "I don't know how to pray" and then she started praying tongues , where she didn't have the prayer language prior to her saying that to God. No one laid hands on her.
My Pastor husband was asked to pray for an extremely sick and fragile looking young girl. As he began to speak in tongues, to the surprise of her family, the girl who was until then unresponsive began screaming and manifesting saying” stop that ba ba language” . Of course my husband then continued to speak in tongues and the girl was delivered and healed. We then realized how and why the devil hates speaking in tongues.
No Alan mate!!! I went to bed one night after asking God for 6 months for the gift of tongues I closed my eyes and a lightening bolt hit me in the forhead and my whole body electrified. (Felt like I was plugged into the mains) and from nothing I did, I could not stop what happened next. My mouth ipemed on its own and this language flew out of my mouth at 100miles an hr! I had no control over it at all. I didn't have any peer pressure I just prayed and prayed because I want God's gifts and after sincere prayer that night God's supernatural power hit me like a lightening bolt I couldn't believe what had happened. It lasted for about a min or two maybe and then I felt myself cross back over I to the natural and ut got less and less as the electric vibrations that where running through me lessened. IT BLEW MY MIND! I was sooo greatful for God's move.. ... The issue is these people are religious. They're just not open to the supernatural or spiritual things. This stuff is conpletley REAL! God bless Issiah!
I hear you out, but it's not necessary for your salvation, and NOT ALL will experience that gift according to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians. People have different spiritual gifts, and not all can do what others can.
I used to think it was ridiculous speaking in tongues even being in a Pentecostal church, until it happened to me once. It was an early morning prayer session at my church and I knew the Holy Spirit would fill me. I even asked the Lord do what you will Lord but don't make it last long I have to go to work in a hour 😅 and He absolutely listened. I fell an electric shock go through my body and spoke in tongues. Now years later I can still pray in tongues but I tend to do it only when I'm in my quiet place with God. I can understand at times what I am praying as well. I had been praying to be able to interpret what I'm saying. At times when I hear others pray in tongues i can understand it as well. True testimony, My parents had no where to live after they had been falsely promised a place to live, they had less than 2 weeks to find a place. They needed to be out by Oct.1. My dad was stressing out because my mom was out of the country for 3 weeks. My dad and I came together to pray urgently for them to have a home. We went to check out a place and there were many other people that had already applied. As worried as i was i know the word of God tells us to bring all our fears and anxieties to him. I asked the Lord to watch over my parents and provide a home. I began praying in tongues boldy. I knew in my Spirit they would get approved. The very next day my dad got the call he got the place and was able to get the keys. God is amazing and he absolutely provides.
Yes He does provide. There have been too many "coincidence" for me to think otherwise. I've prayed in tongues too, but had no idea what I said. How cool you can translate... That's another gift.🕊🕊🕊
Because I started very young, I started to doubt my gift. So I quit? No, I asked God to give me the gift again so I know it was Him. And I said "If I go to heaven discovering i had fake tongues then it will not be my fault cause I asked and trusted in faith You gave it " What did God do? He gave me visions of words I never seen before and I read them aloud learning a new tongue! Parr is allowing satan to use him to rob faith from Christians.
Yes! I got the gift of tongues and it was so normal the way i got it i thought it was myself so i asked the Lord for a dream of confirmation and i got a dream!!
The first time I spoke in tongues, I was casting out depression and demonic thoughts I was having. When I speak in tongues it is praying. I will start out in English, and it turns into tongues. I can actually feel my tongue feel different. I haven't spoke infront of anyone, but sometimes at church, I can feel the feeling on my tongue that I get when I'm praying. I usually get goosebumps. When I started to slack on reading my Bible and my relationship with God I noticed I wasn't able to pray in tongues. I had to pray for the gift to come back. It's not something I can just do by myself. God Bless you All! Jesus is King! ❤
Just so you know, once God has given us a gift He doesn’t take it away. We may fall distant from God and lack a connection but that gift is just in the background. No different from times in my life where I backslid and set my bible in a box in a closet. I still kept my bible, I just distanced myself from it. But now that God has drawn me back to him , it’s right here on my bed while I’m awake and as I sleep.
I understood 100% of what Isaiah said about tongues i was against tongues but what Isaiah said about tongues opened me because many of the questions i had about tongues actually got answered.
Tongues ARE real! I first spoke in Tongues when I was 14 and I received the gift in my room. It was only me and God. No peer pressure there just a young one seeking after God with everything.

Thank you so much. I have my exam coming near and don't have time to listen full video. Thanks for breaking it down in a very understandable way, God bless!
My friend was going to a church and was in a small group. The leader said they were going to all speak in tongues. She said, “What if I don’t feel comfortable with it?” She was told everyone in the group was required to. She left the group and the church. I don’t blame her. No one should be required to do it.
I was in a charismatic church for 14 years and I never spoke in tongues. I did feel like something was wrong with me. Then we moved and ended up in a basically dead church. About a year later I started speaking and singing in tongues when I was praying alone at home and have been using tongues since. I don't know why it took me so long to start.
@@feladodd5953 I believe you are correct. I think I may have had the gift but didn't use it until the pressure was gone. It came so naturally when it finally manifested.
Word says He gives the gifts as He will. Paul encourages us to pray for gifts, especially the gift of prophecy, but He gives as He will. There’s absolutely nothing we can do to receive anything but trust and surrender. Speaking in Tongues is not a sign of who’s more spiritual, surrendered or obedient. He just gives as He will (sorry for repeating this so much). If we’re not a getting a gift and desire it we just need to ask and pray for it, it shall be given at His time.
I was not pressured into speaking into tongues. being a PK, being in at least 5 denominations, and spiritual gift lessons I’ve heard intrigued me! I wanted to have a heavenly language to communicate in private with God. After prayer with a prophetess I was baptized by the Holy Spirit and received the gift of tongues because I asked…and I received! ❤️🙌🏽
I personally related to Allen Parr's experience of feeling forced, pressured into feeling I had to speak in tongues in a church I visited. I felt fear in that church, as a visitor. To me, that wasn't God.
What do you say to people who love the Lord, have truly had a "born again" experience with fruits of the spirit and a changed life to prove it...... but have never experienced speaking in tongues?
I was forced by a guest pastor one night and i was traumatized to the point where i stopped going to the alter for a while and would never go to the alter if we had guest pastors. Tongues cannot be forced. It is something given by God. I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience
@@LB81RNYou are not unsaved because you don't speak in tongues. Jesus is still your Savior and Lord and you don't have to second guess your salvation. Your testimony is personal and true and only you and God know what you've been through and how he has delivered you. ❤❤❤ Pray about tongues. Read over the scripture about it (Study!) and ask God privately for revelation and to be baptized in the spirit when you're comfortable. It is a gift and not meant to be forced. He will be patient with you and show up if you're seeking him.
When I felt a pressure because over and over the Pastor's wife of a church I used to go to kept saying we should all be able and to just open your mouth and God with take over and I just didn't want to speak in a fake tongue trying to speak in tongues. I prayed that night, Lord, if this is for me please bless me with this gift tonight. In the middle of the night, the woke me in prayer and speaking in tongues.
So glad that you responded to this video isaiah , he could have confuse so many people especially those who are not strong in the lord yet.thank the lord you your boldness and that you know the word , we need to read our Bible otherwise people can come and confuse us , read your Bible brothers and sisters always asking the Holy Spirit help us fully understand
I don't usually comment on videos, but I feel like my experience can help someone doubting. I was skeptical about tongues at a point, but I read & studied the bible, and I did see it was biblical. I asked God for this experience, and I prayed & prayed. One day crying out to him, I spoke in tongues. It was BEAUTIFUL. Just God & I. I didn't understand but I did feel my spirit edified. I was praying in my own language & the holy spirit took over, I continued to speak but in a different language & I couldn't control it. When I was done I cried so much, I was in awe. I was grateful for that experience. When it's the real thing, you will know without a doubt. It's definitely true & real. Believe it, pray for it, and receive it in the name of Jesus. God bless you all 🙏🏼
I had a very similar experience. It just came out, and crying and dropping to my knees with my head on the floor. I felt restored, refreshed and renewed when it was over. Thank you Jesus
I am 67 and have spoken in tongues since my thirties. I received the gift in my kitchen one night. Hearing Allen speaking in "fake tongues " I couldn't help but feel he was not speaking in fake tongues and perhaps he himself does not know what is really happening.
😮 I'm 62, and I've been praying in the Spirit for 42 years and noticed the lack of reverance and respect for the Holy Spirit in his mockery. I've also noticed through the years that those who are filled with the Holy Spirit carry themselves with such "fear of the Lord" I could never in a trillion years disrespect His Majesty with such disdain. I can say more but the Holy Spirit just brought to my remembrance the trembling and shaking I experienced the night He first came upon me. Hallelujah your Majesty Praise Your Holy name Jesus
When I’m at home in my bedroom, praying to my father, and I begin to speak in tongues, there is no peer pressure. Nobody is around me, it’s just me and God. When I am communicating or warring in the spirit, I’m not trying to impress anybody. When you’ve gotten to a place of darkness, to your lowest point and the Holy Spirit, meets you there and lifts you up, there is nothing fake about it.
Also, Allen talks about how he was made to “feel” like a second class Christian for not speaking in tongues, his feelings speaks for itself; he might be dealing with spirit of rejection from childhood…his feedbacks are connected to his being as an existing human with much room for heart healing and deliverance from past issues, traumas and disappointments. Allen needs to “re-visit” his childhood and everything that made him feel left out, unseen, rejected, and allow God to dig deep because it doesn’t make sense for an adult to show up in church and their first inspiration is to fit in, there’s a little boy in there somewhere that needed to feel the love and embrace of God…and so I would go back to the drawing board because when we don’t understand something at first, we have to go to God’s school where He “helps” us in maturity and soundness; this happens by healing and deliverance…He goes as far as our childhood, family traumas and environment because these things can condition our heart in a way that makes our heart a hard soil…where the seeds of God’s Word cannot bear fruit. You’ll see that, most people who speaks like Allen “resist and reject,” they’re not flexible…their minds are made up and their hearts are made up, that engineers a veil over their eyes; they’ll fight you and debate you. In such cases, they’re not just making doctrine mistakes, they’re already set on what is doctrine according to “them” and are “unknowingly” but “willingly” an enemy of God because what they teach and preach doesn’t serve God’s purposes…it serves what satan wants to do, which is for us to be ignorant; it’s darker than Allen thinks. An intercessor is to pray in tongues, depending on what the spiritual charges are, and what God wants to do through that prayer, imagine such person comes across Allen’s teachings, if they begin to doubt they’ll abandon their post and that will create spiritual loopholes because that person has abandoned their assignments due to opening themselves to a wrong teaching...all of these things will build as a case against that person whose falsely teaching and preaching (I think people don’t understand just how ALIVE eternity is, a person can choose to walk through life as confident as they want, but God’s Word will never fail because God will judge us accordingly…God is not only our Heavenly Father, He’s also THE JUDGE). Before I got baptized in The Holy Spirit, I went to a church that stirred up some questions in me…by no way did I “finalize” on these questions as doctrine, I didn’t conclude on “my” assumptions as doctrine, I know that God is tooooo GREAT for me to measure Him with my own ruler. I’ve even learned over the years that people can mishandle scriptures simply to affirm a moment that had nothing to do with The Holy Spirit (Allen was in error for “his” missed-steps but chooses to misinterpret scripture and The Holy Spirit, instead of making room for corrections; he doesn’t have to listen to us in this lifetime about how wrong he is, but a day will come where he’ll see for himself). It’s truly scary to stretch it and make “our errors” food to feed God’s people, it’s deception and God’s judgement is unto these assaults…it’s more lethal than some people thinks.
Summed up beautifully and accurately. Thank you for this response. Yes, when you don't heal you bleed on others. It's dangerous to state your feelings and experiences as facts and a standard as to what others ought to do or not do. Smh LET'S PRAY FOR ALLEN TO GET HEALING HE NEEDS AS WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT AND ALLOWED OUR FEELINGS TO OVERRIDE LOGIC/THE WORD👍💌
One month after giving my life to Christ in 1992 while standing in a balony, praising the Lord at a worship service. I heard the sound of a mighty rushing wind, I saw a porter open full of Fire, the Holy Ghost over took me. I saw Tongues of Fire set upon my mouth, and I began to speak in Tongues as the Spirit gave me utterance.THE HOLY GHOST COMPLETELY TOOK OVER ME. I had my own Acts chapter two upperroom experience. It was one of the most Beautiful, Supernatural encounters, I've ever had has a believer. I don't even have the words to express how Powerful and Glorious it was, to see Tongues of Fire take control of my mouth🔥🔥🔥🔥and gave me the ability to speak in another Tongues as the Spirit gave me the Utterance. If you haven't been Baptized in the HOLY GHOST, you are missing out on such a Beautiful Gift from the Lord. With that being said, nobody can tell me speaking in Tongues is of the devil, that's a lie straight from hell. Let me also add I'm still speaking in Tongues today, and have had many refillings 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Imma share my experience here. I used to watch Allen alot when i was first baptized. I just started going to a Pentecostal church and I doubted the Holy Spirit and the gifts. I doubted tongues, even after going through deliverance (hearing them speak tongues while unclean spirits were manifesting was like fire for me). We had some guest pastors at my church and one of them was very forceful. It made me hate going to the alter and i would avoid doing so when we had guest pastors. I was a bit traumatized tbh. My pastor & church family were always kind when tarrying with me but some guest pastors were not. Anyways, i was at home one night. I was supposed to be at bible study but i didnt go for some reason. I was BROKEN. I was pleasing my case before God and I spoke in tongues for the first time. I couldnt stop myself. I tried to but i couldnt. I was fearful and asked God to take it if it was something evil but i remembered the scriptures about God being a good father and wont give me something to harm me. I stopped praying for a while because of doubt. Allen was forced and i know how that feels. I was only forced one night and it was TRAUMATIZING so i cant imagine how he felt and what he went through. Thank God i have good leaders at church. When i had any bad experiences, i talked with my pastor and he did his best to ensure it wouldnt happen again.
Cant agree with you there, in the video parr said he felt self pressured. No one forced him, no one put a gun 🔫 to his head, or said you're less than us if you dont speak in tongues. Parr said he felt pressured that way personally cause he didnt speak in tongues like his friends did, so therefore he started to fake it to fit in. To be cool basically. There's a difference. And honestly you wrote you were forced to speak and it was traumatizing... girl... the holy spirits tongues always come with a feeling of peace, power, and freedom from bondage. If you felt that scared and traumatized, you should check that it wasn't demonic tongues speaking out of you. I have had both situations where a demon spoke out of me during deliverance when i first came to the Lord; just full blown backwards-sounding evil fast snake-like demonic tongues. Got set free and filled with the Holy Ghost. Now i speak whatever he puts in me. Yes i can feel and know the difference.
@@ellaakiyama5670 maybe i should clarify. When i say forced, i mean they kept telling me to just speak in it and it was like they were trying to rip tongues out of my throat. And yes, it was traumatizing because of how forceful they were. For me, yes there was peer pressure to do so cause they kept telling me to talk and i couldnt. I wanted to fake it just so they could leave me alone but i COULDN'T do that to myself or to God. I never spoke in tongues that night. I spoke in tongues for the first time months later and i continue to do so I went through deliverance. Demons spoke through me too. But i have been delivered and i am filled
I did. Went to a charismatic church. I was pressured. I was told by leadership that I needed to speak in tongues to really be saved, empowered, and experience the will of God for my life. I succumbed to the pressure and spoke in tongues, well I faked it. Acts 2, they understood their own languages, interpreter not needed. That’s pretty basic. Short point: I no longer fake tongues. I no longer go to a charismatic church. Thank God for that!
YUPPPP! Anyone who speaks in tongues by “The Holy Spirit” CANNOT deny it. It’s an eternal well that once you tap into it, it’ll never leave you dry and in denial of God’s Power. Allen should’ve kept his mouth shut on this one, it’s one thing to have an experience(s) that was in error with The Holy Spirit but it becomes demonic when we take these false narratives to feed the masses with it. Allen will have his day. And he’ll regret it.
All I knew about tongues was acts 2 at the time and I was a fresh believer. I went to a dinner in a fellowship hall with believers while traveling through Texas when this woman came up to me and it was like Paul with the disciples in Ephesus . She said “have you received power ? Have you had the baptism of the Spirit , the baptism of fire?” She layed hands on me and I shook out of my skin. Received boldness I never had, and I spoke in tongues . I had never heard tongues in person. I had only heard about it a little . It is for today . That was 4 years ago
Man when you do it for pure reasons, you literally feel the Holy Spirit shift the spirit and atmosphere, so powerful! It’s such a blessing! Allen is only speaking from his own guilt of giving into peer pressure vs truly believing it. He really needs to be careful! Every ounce of our being and DNA belongs to Elohim, let us utilize all of ourselves to pray and glorify Jesus! Allen is in his head and not in the mysteries of Elohim! The flesh wants to rule over the body so it tries to convince the spirit that allowing the Comforter to have control is foolish when it’s so very much the opposite! You can’t trust the ignorance of the flesh that opposes the Word of God.
I used to listen to Allen Parr quite a bit and he does have some great teachings but I started realising how skeptical he is about the things of the spirit and once I saw how much he looks up to McArthur I was like nope, don’t want the doubt.
@@billystorrs6054isaiah 28:11 and also Paul mentioned that though he speaks with the tongues of Angels. Stop calling things gibberish that you don't understand.
@@chrisgreer9029 Nothing in the Bible teaches that the kind of gibberish that Pentecostals speak is actually angelic language, and they can't prove it. They distort Paul's words to protect themselves from legitimate criticism. If Pentecostals are absolutely sure that what they do is biblical, they should be able to supply biblical proof of it.
Sadly this is a ploy of the enemy to bring division, distraction, and to discourage Believers to lay down one of our greatest spirutual weapons....and the enemy is trying to discredit the power of the Holy Spirit and His gifts. God help us ALL to discern the lies of the enemy to stop us from speaking in our heavenly language. Thank you so much Isaiah for standing on God's Word and bringing understanding to believers, especially new Believers who could become confused, fearful, and discouraged regarding spiritual gifts. God bless y'all!!!
You felt everything I felt. I had to unsubscribe to Allen because of this. I was so frustrated. Speaking in tongues is the way I get a deeper connection to God!
why do people put so much emphasis on tongues as if its the end all be all gift and it has even led to you unsubscribing to a fellow believer because he has an opinion on a specific thing, if that isn't immaturity idk what else is the gifts of the spirit were given to build up the church if you gonna speak in togues with a translator who are you building ? look at all the other gifts seek them
What are the Gifts of the Holy Spirit? The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are unique skills and abilities given by the Holy Spirit to faithful followers of Christ to serve God for the common benefit of his people, the church. A listing of spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 mentions wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Comparable gifts are discussed in Ephesians 4:7-13, Isaiah 11:2-3, and Romans 12:3-8. The gifts of the Spirit are simply God empowering faithful Christians to do what He has called us to do. 2 Peter 1:3 says, "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." The gifts of the Holy Spirit are part of "everything we need" to accomplish His plans for our lives. Paul instructed that "We have different gifts, according to the grace given us... let [us] use [them] in proportion to [our] faith," Romans 12:6. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit There is some dispute as to the exact nature and number of gifts of the Holy Spirit, but here is a list of spiritual gifts referenced in the Bible verses above and their essential meanings. The Gift of Wisdom - the gift to make choices and give leadership that is according to God's will. The Gift of Knowledge - the gift to comprehensively understand a spiritual issue or circumstance. The Gift of Faith - the gift to trust God and inspire others to trust God, no matter the conditions. The Gift of Healing - the wondrous gift of using God's healing power to cure a person who is ill, wounded or suffering. The Gift of Miracles - the gift to display signs and miracles that give credibility to God's Word and the Gospel message. The Gift of Prophecy - the gift to declare a message from God. The Gift of Discerning Spirits - the gift to recognize whether or not something is truly from God or in accordance with righteousness. The Gift of Tongues - the gift to communicate in a foreign language you do not have experience with, to converse with those who speak that language. The Gift of Interpreting Tongues - the gift of interpreting the speech and writings of a different language and translating it back to others in your own. The Gift of Administration - the gift to keep things ordered and in agreement with God's principles. The Gift of Helps - the gift of a desire and capacity to always help others and do whatever it takes to achieve a task. if you look at all the gifts they all have a similarity they are to be used to build, uplift, guide and serve others not themselves
I can testify that I had a very similar situation throughout my life. I grew up around people that spoke / pray in tongues, and I felt that I wasn’t good of enough of a Christian because I didn’t have that gift . I ask the Holy Spirit so hard to give me that gift and at 35 years old after being a Christian for about 25 years, I received the gift of tongues in 2021. I can understand why people get so confused or discouraged. We must not stop and seek God with all our hearts.❤
I know a TON of people who would say they were peer pressured into faking speaking in tongues. It’s pretty common so to say you have never never heard that seems a little unbelievable.
I speak in tongues. However once I called a rabbi about something and a lady answered the phone that had an accent, she said he wasn’t home and to call back tomorrow. The rabbi called me back the next day and asked me if I was Jewish or from Israel? I said, no. He said, then how did you talk to the lady who answered the phone yesterday? She is from Israel and does not speak a word of English and I did not speak any Hebrew. I believe God was using this miracle to draw this man to himself. Don’t underestimate God, he can do Anything!!! 😊
People around me like to argue that tongues are speaking in earthly languages and they use acts ch2 as their argument. After studying acts 2 and praying for an answer, I think we must acknowledge another manifestation of the spirit that is present at Pentecost. The Bible tells us that one manifestation is various tongues. Another manifestation is interpretation of tongues. They heard in their own language, not because the speaker was speaking in their native tongue, but because the spirit of the Lord, through the manifestation of the gift of interpretation, caused them to hear in their native tongue. It’s obvious if you consider how the spirit manifests. I myself as a young man, before I knew what tongues were , heard a man in our church speak in tongues. It was not permitted in my church. The problem was, I heard him speak in English and had no idea why people were reacting negatively. I had to tell them what he said. 20 years later after God opened my eyes, I understood what happened.
You're so right about this brother. In fact, the proof text is in the fact that the disciples' detractors said they were "drunk". Why would someone who hears another person pray in his own native language claim drunkeness? It goes to show that the Spirit opened the ears of some to hear in their language and those whose hearts were hardened heard gibberish. In fact, my pastor prayed in tongues for a lady some years ago and the lady asked him where he learned her language? This is the power of God!
Me speaking in tongues was also positive! Some of my old music even shows how crazy I was going before I got saved and then received the gift of tongues. Even my wife said after hearing my old stuff that I sounded crazy. When I got hands laid on me and spoke in tongues falling to my knees crying… I literally felt stuff leaving my body as the Holy Spirit filled me. And I was fresh off the streets never grew up in church and didn’t really have any pre-knowledge of how it would go. My whole life changed and all I wanted to do from that point forward was worship forever
I also dropped to my knees and put my head on the floor and continued to pray. It was an awesome experience, the presence of The Lord is so strong it will bring you to your knees.
I've never spoke in tongues I pray that I can speak in the heavenly language one day. but what was that 😮🤯 No way can't nobody pressure so he conformed and faked it. he was making a fool out of him self. when God give u the gift it will flow from the pit of yr stomach🙏
I received the gift of tongues in 2015 by asking God in prayer to receive this gift. It happened after i had watched a RUclips video where a pastor was explaining how to receive it and it worked for me. However, after a while, I wasn't "feeling" anything special while praying, so I started doubting the gift and finally dismissed it as "gibberish with no specific tangible benefit". Also, I've never gotten a useful answer from any priest i asked about the use of this gift. After I dismissed it, i backslid from faith and it led me to apathy and new age. But in the last 1 and a half years life hardships got me back to Jesus - and only him. Recently I've watched a video by pastor Vlad Scavhuk where he challenged believers to pray in tongues every day for 10 minutes. I've been doing this challenge for 3 weeks now, using the gift again, and the circumstances in my daily life have started to miraculously change. I plan to continue using this gift daily. I use it only home, and alone in my private time.
Thats a very dangerous mistake many preachers do. I have seen it few times. And felt how Holy Spirit is resisted. Was in service where you could tangibly feel Holy Spirit. And after worship the pastor came up and introduced a guy that would share info on how to work with money the kingdom way something like that. Oh my that was boring and frustrating. I couldnt wait for service to finish. If Holy Spirit is allowed to work than i dont want the service to finish. Mean why even go to church the house of God as people call it. But Gods Spirit isnt allowed to work!? Wow thats to me a no brainer. I just cant sorry but thats not for me no more. If Holy Spirits not welcome than why must i go to that church? To hear a man or woman speaking with a fancy accent and to hear big words you need a dictionary for? No thanks. Speak like a normal person no need to make a accent and sound smart. Thats how i honsetly feel about the traditional churches that are also discribed as spiritual graveyards.
One church we used to go to the Holy Spirit was always welcome. And than someone kinda pushed himself into position and was also given the chance. And it became more motivational messages and the friendly smile was kinda fake to me. And Holy Spirit got less and less chance to work in church. So we later on left after a few other events and so. We than got a new church thank God!! And as we attend the new church i could feel im feeding again. There is spiritual food again!!! I literally felt like someone who didnt eat for days and than again got food. Going to church without Holy Spirit being welcomed there, is like going to a resturant but not eating and going home afterwards.
@frikkiesmit327 Lol on the part with the fancy accent and word 😂. The Holy Spirit will guide you to church that is more spirit filled . What frustrates me the most about traditional church its so restricted instead of the freedom God’s spirit brings
Thank you for sharing! I listen to Allen Parr, too. But, I was very disheartened with that message. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit years ago. I prayed earnestly for this gift for 5 months because of the spiritual warfare I was in. When this happened at church, I felt an hot oil poured over me in the spirit, started at my feet, and rushed to my heart, and I literally felt flames of tongues poured out of my mouth. I pray in the Word, and always pray in the Holy Spirit everyday in my prayers time. It strengthens my faith in Christ to share, and draws me closer to God in my personal walk with Jesus. I prayed this morning, who to listen to, while I get ready for my day. Thank you again.
To this day, when I don’t understand something, I don’t turn my “misunderstandings” and personal journey of errors as a doctrine for the “entire” body of Christ. Allen is wrong because he cannot accept his journey as his own, but he’s preaching it as “sound” doctrine…that’s the issue. He’s walking on dangerous ground, he doesn’t know that it’s utterly disgusting, because The Holy Spirit cannot be mocked. He chose for himself to open up his mouth and speak in false tongues, that’s a “him” issue and not a “CHRISTIAN” problem, he’s carrying a counterfeit burden on his heart that God didn’t give to him because The Holy Spirit is not mute…He speaks and prays through us, so understanding is needed. I wasn’t raised in a Christian environment at all. I gave my life to Christ at 22, and no peer pressure was involved…I spoke in tongues while in worship at church, and it was beautiful, and holy; because it was God Who showed up personally for me. I knew it was Him because it’s impossible to deny His Glory (everyone who has ever had an encounter with God’s Glory fell on their faces in The Bible and it’s “still” the same today, there’s NO WAYYY TO BYPASSS that experience as false and sheer imagination; God is MORE real than we are)…IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE HIS PRESENCE THROUGH ENCOUNTERS. No one pressured me and it wasn’t my flesh, because of what came from it. At this point Allen is dangerous. He doesn’t know how demonic his doctrine is, the devil would love nothing more than for us to believe The Holy Spirit is limited in our lives.
Thats the cold part about deception. People never know when they are deceived. The Holy Spirit has to reveal Truth to us. Which makes me question if he even has The Spirit to begin with. In this final hour there is no room for error. Too crucial of a time for it. I prayed to God that He separates the wheat and the tares. I'm over the lukewarm, bubble gum, anti power god doctrines. Intellectuals who have no real RELATIONSHIP with Messiah. I'm over it. These clowns think they can "study" their way into Heaven. While we are called to study to show ourselves approved but that is only PART of the journey. The pharisees knew scripture. They still missed The Messiah right in front of their face. Satan knows scripture too very well. Did he not try to tempt Jesus with scripture? The main part is giving God our hearts completely. The FIRST command. I will say this to you because for some reason I believe I can. God pulled me out of the "four walls" over a year ago. No church hurt either. I wanna say that before someone reads this comment and assumes that everyone who doesn't go throw themselves under these so called leaders on sunday are hurt about something. Now back to what I was thinking. I thought I was tripping at first but now I understand what The Lord is doing in these end times. A personal RELATIONSHIP led by THE HOLY SPIRIT will be even more crucial than ever. Why? Because these so called "astute" leaders will lead more people into hell in ignorance than ever. Mark my words. There is a reason many will say "Lord Lord" and not get into The Kingdom. People are not working out their OWN Salvation with fear and trembling like the bible tells us to do. They just hop under whoevers teachings and take it as Bible. When The Spirit is supposed to lead us into all Truth. As we see here online the same thing, anybody can just hop in front of a microphone and spew nonsense as bible. He got his feelings hurt. Felt like a "JV" christian. Which by the looks of it HE STILL IS ON MILK clearly. Allen has over 1,000,000 followers! Any idea what type of damage that does!? I'm beyond upset. This is ridiculous. But thats just ONE man. Any idea how many sunday services got false teachers in them. Better yet any idea how many of these leaders were really sent by The Lord? I bet you more than half set up there ministry via the flesh not The Spirit. And they say "hey make sure you go to a bible believing church!" I say YOU BETTER BE LED BY THE SPIRIT WHERE TO GO IF ANYWHERE FIRST! Its not the unbelievers that are the danger to The Body of Christ. Its the unbelieving believers. That SAME spirit that crucified Christ. We are in time of mass deception. The enemy is working from within the church. Make no mistake. Stay sensitive to The Spirit. Sry this is long. God Bless.
@sunnyhunn9315 Thank you ! There are too many RUclips channels that critique and nitpick every little thing. The worse part is he is potentially leading people away from biblical truths . Iam not saying he is a bad person or anything of the nature but he has become a respecter of persons.
@@Cassandra-250 Exactly. And at this points he’s not potentially leading people astray, he’s “ACTUALLY” and deliberately already doing that. Based on the feedbacks on his videos, he’s affecting the hearts of many. People like Allen don’t just surrender “their” doctrine, and it’s even worst that he wants to “feed” it to God’s people as the way, the truth and the life (it’s possible to have questions for God, it’s possible to not understand something and so time is needed, more training is needed, more counsel is needed, BUT it’s demonic to feed deception and lies to the masses…it’s a “serious” spiritual offense, God uses tongues to address many circumstances on the earth and so imagine what Allen is messing with right now, it’s bigger and greater than him). He will have his day in the court of heaven, no one has ever grieved The Holy Spirit and escaped unaddressed, wether in this lifetime or the next. So it’s best to allow God to mature us spiritually and soundly so that we’re not operating in a spirit of error, because that’s the loophole of ignorance that satan will use to steal, kill and destroy.
Testimony: I was saved in 2007 and I attend a babtist church where it is believed the gift of speaking in tongue is not for today only for Pentecost so I started searching and in my search one day after I was out of the shower getting ready for work I was meditating in God and this feeling came upon me and I just knew God wanted to do something so I said lord do your will in me and something unexplainable just came up from my belly and my mouth just started moving and words that I couldn’t understand were coming out of me. This hunger for God just started to grow and God has been opening my eyes to see and understand thing I couldn’t understand before. God is real and his gifts are also real if you receive by faith.
Paul gives us the answer to what praying in the spirit means literally right as he says “for if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful”. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays. Praying in the spirit. My spirit prays. I pray in a tongue, my spriest prayers. Therefore, when I pray in tongues, I’m praying in the spirit… there’s no way to miss it. And Jude is basically just saying what Paul said again when Paul said that praying in tongues is for edifying yourself. Jude literally says it’s building you up to pray in the spirit, which is exactly what Paul already said and Paul already explained that those terms are the same. There’s nothing to misunderstand with that.
No peer pressure for me. I just wanted it desperately because the Bible says it’s available to believers. I got the gift of tongues after watching a Derek Prince video on receiving the Holy Spirit. A week later, I get the baptism in the Holy Spirit with tongues in church on Pentecost Sunday. So powerful! When I’m in deep prayer or worship, my tongues language tends to take over. There was a time once recently in church where the Spirit was breathing deeply within me. I thought I was hyperventilating until I figured out that the Spirit wanted to speak through me. Once I yielded to the Spirit, it was like the rivers of living water were rushing out of my mouth. My tongues language is very fast and I can’t even talk that fast in English. It’s a glorious gift from God!
There definitely is an element of peer pressure in some churches, and I say this as a spirit-filled, tongues-speaking Christian. I have a friend who visited a church where she was asked, repetively whether she speaks in tongues and when she said "no, not yet" she was asked whether she was truly saved, more than once, on more than one occasion. The sad thing is that she earnestly does desire this gift and she IS a spirit-filled Christian - so much so that you can feel the Lord’s peace when you're around her. I had my own struggles with tongues, but the day the Holy Spirit started praying through me, my life changed FOREVER. I have never been the same and I can never thank God enough! Thank you for addressing this Isaiah! ✨ I just wanted to point out that this is definitely a very real struggle that Christians, especially baby Christians, deal with.
Isaiah, thank you SO MUCH for doing this reaction video and listening to the Holy Spirit in speaking out against this!!! I have been growing in my faith and praying in the spirit more and more these past few months. After hearing this video by Alan last week, I was attacked with intense doubt. I began doubting things I had never doubted before - starting with speaking in tongues, even to my relationship with the Holy Spirit and how present God is in our lives, that He loves me and cares for me - just from listening to this. I’ve been praying about it over this past week and praying against doubt and for Gods truth and I agree in believing this video is dangerous in sowing seeds of doubt into believers, especially if you’re new to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for this video 🙏🏼
Definitely not peer pressure... The first time I spoke in tongues I was 14 and attending a baptist church. I was reading 1 Co 12 and 14, and even though my youth group said it's not a thing anymore, I prayed and asked God if it's real please give it to me. Baptized in the Holy Spirit right there in my bed, never heard anyone do it before. Bad argument
Thank you so much Isaiah! I was so shocked when I saw Allan’s video. I remember when I first started talking in tongues. I wanted it so much! And when it came it was like a ball of fire ☄️ and I couldn’t stop! My sister older sister does not have the gift of tongues but she understands that in the Bible not everyone has this gift. My sister is a dreamer, the Lord is always speaking to her through dreams. ❤❤❤ Hallelujah thank you for this video I was unsettled in my heart and it was heavy until you made this video. ❤ Praise God.
man all this stuff the whole charismatic vs baptist dilemma really breaks my heart. i'm a "new" believer technically but not new at ALL. the Lord's taken me so far so incredibly fast and it's nothing i can boast about it's only by His spirit and my eyes have been on Jesus the whole time, i've had to repent at times and even recently of chasing healing and deliverance instead of just focusing on Jesus but He has been the pursuit. It really breaks my heart that people are so offended by the Holy Spirit and His works, the passion for Jesus, the DEATH TO SELF TO LIFT HIM UP! I need to mature definitely and He will mature me and bring people to mature me. I want to be pure, I will KEEP His word as my foundation. even the argument of the congregation joining in prayer in speaking in tongues...that's worship!!! intercession together. If someone's on the pulpit speaking in tongues without an interpreter yes that's wrong but together is WORSHIP!
I dont watch preachers online to see if they do it but my pastor and minister talk about it all the time. No one should be up there preaching a whole sermon speaking in tongues.
@DocToks Isn't it funny that the charismatics focuses more on Jesus and the Holy Spirit?? You know why? Because they depend solely on God. I wonder where you guys get that from. We are emphasizing on the power of God coupled with his love, while you're saying your God is powerless and has no love or mercy! That's the difference between Continuationists and cessationists!
I agree with Isaiah, I will say though as someone who prays and sings in tongues personally, when I’ve gone to a church for deliverance I was pressured one time to speak in tongues after the deliverance was over. Like they wouldn’t just let me be but were waiting for me to do it. I know they asked me if I knew how and I told them I have before but still struggled with doubt but they were determined to have me practice. Other times when people got baptized I saw how they were praying for them to speak in tongues right after and would tell them how to speak it and have them practice before they let them out of the water. I do think sometimes it’s expected and pressured during baptisms or after deliverance prayers when I think the Holy Spirit is the only one that puts that language on our lips and if we desire the gift we can definitely pray for it or talk to others about it or practice it but when someone isn’t looking to do it and others are waiting on them to do it it does feel like your not saved unless you do. Again I’m all for tongues and practicing with the lord on it if it causes doubt and that we should declare gods word when we start to doubt in the practicing but I do believe the church has been guilty of pressuring at times
It's not mocking unless I'm making fun of you. It's calling it out as how it is. On the subject of this gift of tongues, of course people are going to criticize and disbelieve in awkward, weird speaking that anyone else can imitate.
Wow “ garbage content creators” instead of saying something like this why don’t you pray for him instead so he will know the truth. I thought y’all Christian’s truly love your neighbor as said to do by Jesus.
@@ChrisNielsyeah brah that doctrine is garbage, the scripture literally says “if I pray in a tongue” it’s a complete disrespect to the sheep to not even really read the Bible and then get on a 300K subscription platform of believers and say something wildly uninformed
🔥testimony🔥 When God really began to move in my life around 18 years old (was raised primarily in liberal Protestant church) I was in a Pentecostal circle. I saw what a lot of so called speaking in tongues and I was disheartened from it because along with it I saw people getting pushed on the ground and it didn’t settle with me. Now because of that I didn’t disbelieve tongues because I could clearly see from scripture that it was true but I didn’t understand it from what I saw manifested before me. Then one day someone gave me a prayer cd didn’t listed to it for months but I had a bad day and out the cd on then half way through the man said to speak in tongues and I was saying to myself I don’t have that or know how to even do it. 🔥 All of the sudden this was while I was driving the presence of the lord came upon me words flowing out of my mouth that felt like they were shooting through the sky and the next thing I know I am my work place with no recollection of how I got there. Such a powerful experience that I didn’t even ask for but the Spirit of the Lord gave to me. Been a practicing tongue speaker for 15 years now praise the Lord. Don’t fear the gift embrace it and have the heavens open in your life
I've been a Christ Jesus followerer 50 yrs and I've spoken in tongues probably 4 times and it was absolutely for deliverance and healing. The blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony brother
Thank you for making this video! I 100% agree. The Bible even says that when people are to logical spiritual things are hard to understand. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14) I will be praying for Allen. ❤️ I can feel the power of the Holy Spirit so strongly when I pray in tongues. It is definitely a gift from God. The enemy wants to deceive even Christian’s and wants to rid the church of the power of God!
All I know is I earnestly desired to speak in tounges, asked my daughter 21 years ago to pray for me (nothing). The next day I Was singing and praising God and suddenly I had a massive download from heaven ( like the heavens opened ) I suddenly could sing, speak and pray in other languages ( I do mean languages) Because depending on who or what I want to pray for the " language" changes. Incredibly powerful because I often don't know how to pray about situations. So I can just trust that God knows best. Often I have heard people who don't speak in tounges despargin this " gift " I just laugh because they are missing out on an incredible gift.
In Matthew 12:30-32 Jesus said, “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." (Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God.) So we should never speak badly about the Holy Spirit. Often people insult the Holy Spirit by saying that the gifts of the Holy Spirit aren't real such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, words of knowledge, etc. There are a lot of Christians out there that accuse these gifts as being fake and by doing this they're calling the Holy Spirit a liar. These people only accept some of the Bible and not all of it, especially parts that are strange or out of the ordinary. But we're told to desire earnestly the Holy Spirit gifts. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Truth and our helper that Jesus promised and sent to us after he went to Heaven. "Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy…”-1 Corinthians 14:39 “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.”-1 Corinthians 14:1 “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies.”-1 Thessalonians 5:19-20 “Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things, give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.”-1 Timothy 4:14-15 “Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.”-2 Timothy 1:6 The Gifts of the Holy Spirit Mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 The Word of Knowledge-This gift of the Holy Spirit is having knowledge about something that you have no ability or means of knowing based on your human intelligence. The Word of Wisdom-This gift of the Holy Spirit works with the word of knowledge. It gives you the ability and understanding of how to apply the word of knowledge. The Gift of Prophecy-This gift of the Holy Spirit is one that the scripture says, “to especially desire.” This gift is a direct Word from the Lord that is to be given to someone else to edify and build them up. The Gift of Faith-This gift of the Holy Spirit grows as we walk with the Lord. You are saved by faith. The gift of faith is knowing full well that you cannot accomplish something on your own, but that Lord has empowered you to move into new levels to do miracles and wonders in His name. The Gifts of Healings-There are actually different kinds of healings that the Spirit will do. Notice that the scripture says “gifts,” plural. These gifts equip you in various ways to access healing for yourself or be an anointed vessel that will heal others. The Working of Miracles-This gift of the Holy Spirit is depicted throughout the Bible, from Moses parting the Red Sea to Jesus feeding 5000 people. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Therefore, He is still in the business of working miracles. Similar to the word of knowledge, this spiritual gift is manifested not by human efforts, but by the Holy Spirit. The work is unexplainable by nature. It edifies and delivers others. The Discerning of Spirits-This gift of the Holy Spirit equips the discerner to see evil spirits that are operating in someone’s life. The Holy Spirit pulls back the curtains, exposing the evil spirits so that the person can experience a breakthrough from their bondage. Different Kinds of Tongues-This gift of the Holy Spirit is simply a supernatural ability to speak and pray in a tongue that you do not naturally know. This can be spoken forth in prayer direct to God, or in an assembly where God anoints another Believer, with the gift of interpretation, to interpret the word spoken in the native tongue of the congregation (1 Corinthians 14:2, 13-14). The Interpretation of Tongues-This gift of the Holy Spirit is to interpret the tongue that was spoken. This can either be for yourself (see 1 Corinthians 14:13-14) or for the Church (see 1 Corinthians 14:27-28). 1 Corinthians 14:1-25 "Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. 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. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified. Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified. I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue. Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!” 1 Timothy 4:14-15 "Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. “Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” James 5:14-16 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Mark 16:14-20 14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
When I first was filled with the Holy Spirit after asking Jesus to fill me, I knew I was filled cause I felt it pour in me like honey from the top of my head to tge tip of my toes and instantly I had unspeakable joy! That was right before I went to sleep, I had a spiritual dream that night and woke up with a different language going through my head but I didn't open my mouth and let it out, I began singing worship songs in praise to God! A mother in the faith in my church was encouraging me to ask God for prayerful tongues because I was telling her I haven't but wanted to speak in tongues. I was outside raking leaves( I got born-again at end of March and this must of been October 1999) I asked Jesus in my head to give me prayerful tongues, then I opened my mouth and began to sing in tongues and worship as the Holy Spirit moved me. Some of the songs I recongnized like "Come O be faithful" but in a different language. Ever since, I've been able to pray in tongues, and that was over 20 years ago.
Thank you!! I just watched this video today you are commenting on. So so sad. 😞 I was in shock myself. I believe in this gift and like you I was anointed with this gift and I wasn’t looking for it. I was touched by God. The Holy Spirit 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’m pentecostal born again Christian. And I agree with you 💯thank you again for being bold and calling these negative actions out. 👏🏼🫶🏼 God bless you
Amen, I'm so glad you made this video. I understand where Allen was coming from, but the thing is you can't stop "speaking in tongues" if you were never genuinely speaking in tongues in the first place. Everything Allen expressed about desiring to be accepted, while I understand that motivation, I can't feel sympathy for someone playing pretend when it comes to the things of the Spirit. If there's a spiritual gift that God hasn't blessed you with, don't be religious and pretend to operate in that gift. As far as the legitimacy of tongues, I'll tell you a story. One a little over a year ago, I had just started speaking in tongues and hadn't really fully comprehended how much power that actually was behind it. Around that time I began to realize that if I said what it was I wanted to pray for in my head (in English), Holy Spirit would put words into my mouth to speak. I'd done this a few times, but never got any real confirmation that my prayers in tongues were actually having any real effect in the world. So, one time I'm praying for my friend who's a witch and I pray in my head "Father [YHWH], open the eyes of his heart so that you may shine your light in" and like before Holy Spirit put words into my mouth and I began to speak them. Now, as I began to pray in tongues suddenly I feel like there's a force on the other end of my prayer that's fighting me and I began to pray harder/louder. The intensity continued to increase and my voice then began to change and I started shaking. I didn't let up however cause I kept thinking in my head "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world". Long story shorter, I eventually feel the moment that that force on the other finally relented and I knew Yah/Jesus had broken through to my friend's heart (if only for just a brief moment). After that I went on with the rest of my day not suspecting that anything would happen, but I turned out to be very wrong. You have to understand that in the spirit world when you go at the enemies plans, there's going to be a response and that response was swift. No more than a half hour had passed before Satan began his response. It started when, after having showered, I was taking out some trash before I went to the beach and on my way to the trash bin I notice this guy from my building that I'd never seen before filming me with his phone. I first just thought maybe he was filming something behind me, but as he followed me with every movement I made, I realized I was the subject of his filming. I then felt that heavy feeling in my spirit Holy Spirit causes me to feel every time demons are near and I knew what was happening. This man was sent by Satan. I ignored him and drove to the beach and once I get there, I was encountered by another of Satan's slaves. I had parked and was on my way to Santa Monica Pier when I suddenly notice this heavy-set black guy staring me down as I approach. Once I was within ear-shot he says to me "stay out of 'his' business" and I knew in my spirit (or rather Holy Spirit allowed me to know) the "his" was a reference to Satan. Finally, Satan had one more leg of his message to communicate before the day was over. Once I got back to my apartment, I walked into my building when I saw down the hallway there was that same guy that had been filming me earlier waiting in the lobby and he had with him 2 other men that I'd never seen. It was clearly meant to intimidate me, but for some reason I felt like putting them to the test. Scripture says that Jesus keeps us safe and that the Satan can't touch us [1 John 5:18] so I walked right down to where they were and grabbed my mail from mail box. That heavy feeling in my spirit was especially strong there cause I could feel they wanted to hurt me, but in the time I got my mail from box, I turned around and they had fled. I learned a few things that day: 1. Tongues are 1000% real and what you pray does have a tangible effect in the natural as well as in the spirit, 2. The demonic world is highly organized and they mobilize incredibly quickly, so you have to be ready for the retaliation when disrupting their plans, and 3. YHWH/Jesus really is in complete control and even when people are right there in front of you ready to rip you to shreds, they can't and won't do anything to you unless God allows them to. Anyway, just wanted to share this story. Hope it blesses all who read it. Tongues are real guys, but wait to be blessed, don't play pretend. As Isaiah said, it's disrespectful and deceitful.
I understand why one might get offended by his fake tongues... but I think he was just demonstrating that it can be mimicked in a way that makes it sound believable. I think the intention matters, if you are making fun of people who do it that is very messed up... but I dont think that was what he was trying to do.
Maybe his intentions were good, but my reaction was the same. It was not necessary to demonstrate and it did feel like he was mocking Holy Spirit. Not a good place to be in. 😕
That was offensive to The Holy Spirit, I felt disgusted from the pit of my stomach, it was grievous. You can decide to take it lightly and say that it wasn’t his intention, but some of you are forgetting just how great the reign and dominion of God is…we should NEVER make light of His Kingdom on any subject. It’s best for someone to look to God for understanding and giving it “time” for The Holy Spirit to help us, but it’s wrong to make solid doctrines out of “personal” errors. When I first gave my life to Christ, there were many moments that could’ve motivated me to make solid doctrines out of “my” misfortunes, but instead I waited patiently on The Lord to guide me and process me with mature revelations. Allen is wrong! And the opening of the video is literally an offense that’s spiritually recorded, and that will be used against him in the courts of heaven. What he doesn’t understand is that his heart posture was wrong, from the very beginning and he just needed “help” to understand and to grow “soundly” in that knowledge. I would be veryyyyyy afraid to turn “my” journey of lacking understanding into doctrine for the entire body of Christ to abide by, I would tremble from the inside…because I know that I cannot play with God like that, and his people.
A person filled with the Holy Spirit knows when a tongue is authentic. Others who don't know will believe a fake tongue, but fake tongue can never deceive a person filled with the Holy Spirit.
I never heard fake tongues before and the moment that I heard him speak, made me uncomfortable instantly. God is giving us these spiritual gifts for the day of today. Be encouraged my brethren and rise up to what our Lord is calling for your life. If you don't have this gift, the word tells us ask and it shall be given unto us..🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow! What the both of you said resignated with me. I am continuously praying for the gift of tongues, because I recently learned that we should pray in tongues because that is language between our Heavenly FATHER and the person, and the enemy doesn't know what is being said.
Even if you don't agree with speaking in tongues to speak against it and to MOCK speaking in tongues is very Dangerous😢. The Bible says my people perish from a lack of knowledge. Even the most educated people lack knowledge and understanding. I pray God would really have mercy on these people and help us see the error of our ways. 😢🙏🏿💯💔
I thought speaking in tongues it was demonic the first time I heard it. After reading scripture, and realizing God’s heart, I speak in tongues often, and it has been a huge part of my faith walk.
I used to be a oneness Pentecostal and was constantly told that I was not saved because I hadn’t spoke in tongues, It never happened. But I went to a charismatic/nondenominational church one day and there was no mention of tongues in the service at all. I responded to the alter call not even having tongues on my mind at all and I began to pray in tongues naturally for the first time.
This was one of the BEST teaching videos I have seen about speaking in tongues. This video edified me so much & has encouraged me to speak in tongues MORE. Thank you so much for doing this video Isaiah. It’s so much clearer NOW! Speaking in tongues is truly BENEFICIAL! This built up my faith and now i want to mediate on the verses you mentioned and save them in my heart. I know you spent a lot of time making this response video and studying and I am grateful, FOR REAL! God bless you ISAIAH, this has blessed me so much! One of my favorite videos! I had to pause the video just to say this, but I will watch all the way through the video! P.S. You have an enjoyable personality!
I think you’re right that everybody has access. But even if they didn’t, as a parent, you don’t give every child, the exact same gift that you gave one of the other siblings. Example I got a bike when I was 12 a black beach cruiser. My sister got a really nice CD player Soundsystem … the point is , we each got what we needed in that season. As a parent, you know your children, and you know what they need or desire and different seasons of their lives and what will get them through to the next season.
When I heard Allan speaking in fake tongues at the beginning of his video, I immediately had discernment and said “that’s not real, that’s fake, he’s not speaking in heavenly tongues” my stomach turned too Isaiah.
So thankful for this video response Isaiah. I got the gift of tongues last year or so but I wasn’t really praying in them out of being insecure. The Lord put it on me to pray in them the last few weeks and I love it! I feel so empowered and edified. Then Allen’s video came right when I started praying in them and was confused but it was clear I disagreed with him and continued praying in them. I asked the Lord to confirm this was truth after seeing his video and you did this video and you made it beyond clear, logical, and concise. Spot on. Thank you Lord for the answered prayer and using Isaiah on this controversial take. Amen!
Isaiah refuses to acknowledge Paul's clear teaching that not all Christians have the gift of tongues. We are a body and have been given different gifts. Paul urges us to desire the best gifts. Tongues are clearly the least of all the gifts. Paul makes it clear in 1 Corinthians, and they are always listed last. They can be powerful, like all spiritual gifts, but they are NOT the evidence of being filled with the spirit. There is a great peer pressure for people to speak in tongues in the charismatic mvmt, and people are always saying that every Christian can have this gift, which is directly contrary to Apostolic teaching. Parr is absolutely correct in this video on this point. I was impressed with Isaiah that he conceded that Romans 8:26 may not be about tongues. Those who push tongues on every Christian ALWAYS say that this verse is about tongues when it clearly says that the Spirit makes sense of the cries of every Christian who does not know how to pray properly and can only groan and not utter anything at all. It can not be about tongues because nothing is uttered but it is accomplishing the same thing that those praying to God in tongues are accomplishing. You see, God takes care of all His children and hears the cries of all their hearts, even if they don't know exactly how to pray and whether they have the gift of tongues or not.
I havent finished watching the video but i can already tell Allen should have talked to God about this before making a whole video on it because some of us new to the faith and finding out about this gift are still skeptical that we could get this gift and then here comes Allen and makes this negative video. It just doesnt help anything and i hope he corrects it. Thank you Isaiah for addressing this
This was for me spot on timing. My daughter had influenced me to pause from praying in tongues until I was more sure about it. And because of your teaching I am sooooooo sure what I believe. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TEACHING 💗
Don't say that Allen Par. Just because he doesn't speak in tounges it doesn't mean he doesn't have the Holy Spirit. He was actually warning about the behavior of yours thinking you're better and spirit filled yet some of you lack the fruit of the Holy Spirit (not you). Also pressuring people to speak on tounges or else they don't have Holy Spirit
Allen Par is a good teacher who is gentle and sound. This video of Isaiah he doesn't listen and he argues Allen as if Allen doesn't understand the bible. He stops video and talks and argue without a point
@@pepetualmsiska5118 Allen had an awful experience and used that to justify MOCKING the Holy Spirit. Pressuring someone to speak in tongues is awful, HOWEVER, Allen telling people not to speak in tongues just because he FAKED it is a bit absurd. How can you tell believers who speak in tongues to not do it because you faked it?? How can you not see the problem with that video? Even if you dont believe in speaking in tongues, you dont see him mocking it as disrespectful?
@@pepetualmsiska5118The Bible says tongues is evidence of the Holy Spirit and a gift from God. All Christians *should* desire gifts of the spirit, and in a faith based relationship with God the existence of evidence is powerful!!! Those using the gift of tongues *do* have something that others don't have. I encourage you to desire it as the word says instead of creating an us vs them mindset. We're all serving the same God and reading the same word. You are right that no one person is "better" than another.
@@shaneilloves Yeah I agree with you that he shouldn't have spoken fake tongues as a teacher who teaches many people. I think he did that to make a point. You people don't go as hard on those heretic pastors who teach people to speak in tongues. No where in the bible do we have "heavenly language". 1 cor 13v 1 is about love and people claim that they can speak like angels and that's heavenly language. I am sorry if you think it's mockery but let's try to also get a point. May God forgive him if it's wrong but hear where he comes from.
Isaiah, I SO appreciate your ministry and for standing for Truth. I stopped listening to Allen Parr a while ago because of some teaching that was just "off." I am thankful for Holy Spirit who quickens our spirits when teaching is off.
Alan Parr is a good teacher I learned a lot of basic questions from him. I did quir following him however over this issue when he gave his testimony. When he admitted he was faking it. He has flip flopped on this issue after he and Marcus Rogers had a discussion he reversed his stance. No he is going back on it. This video popped up I watched the first portion and just shut it off. If you don't know about it it is best just to leave the issue alone. I was baptized with the Spirit in 93 was always told if you weren't you would not be allowed into heaven. I don't believe that, tounges was used to show the Apostles God was still with them just as he is today. 90% of my prayer life is in tounges. It is just that does not make one spiritually superior I know Catholics that have walked closer to the Lord than I have it is always a point of contention I believe anyone can receive it. His studies are just looking to back up his belief. He disregards all through the book of Acts every time someone was baptized in the Spirit they spoke in tounges.
Just today, as I was in my closet praying, I told The Lord I felt like he wanted me to pray over a certain young lady and her business (restaurant). I said, “ I don’t know why” and all of a sudden The Holy Spirit took over and started praying in an unknown tongue. Afterwards, said, I didn’t know what to pray for her, but you did my Friend.😅❤ I love The Holy Spirit! Never a full moment with Him.❤
Whether or not Allen believes in tongues, how does he not feel wrong mocking it? Even when i was in the world & didnt fully believed in it, i felt disgusted seeing ppl mock it or when they mocked Jesus. Idk. Mocking tongues gives weird vibes. It gives me the same feeling of ppl mocking Jesus
I will say that in my personal experience, every time I spoke in tongues (even though I felt like I sounded very weird at first and to this day) something supernatural happened.

👊😇Isaiah + EVERYONE seeking to know how the "early church" dealt with deliverance, Gifts of the spirit ect can read a log kept by "Clement".
It turns out Clement who was discipled by Peter, John, Barnabas & Zachas, "KEPT A JOURNAL"!! 🤯
Someone translated the 18 books from Greek and they are available on "New Advent" Under Clementine Homily 1-18, or just throw that in the Google search.
Clement goes through pages of details on demonic deliverance, ministry & endless concessionism movement lies exposed... and im only a few books in!!!
Been watching you for awhile Isaiah, to understand you more. I now know you are preaching false doctrines. You often twist scripture to fit your narrative and focus too much on these tongues and prophecy you think God is showing you. The only thing that matters is the Gospel, delivering souls to the lord! You often take what Jesus said directly to the twelve as an instruction for you and I. There is a distinct difference between the disciples and us. Give people context instead of slivers of scripture.
Isaiah is a false teacher.
You have a PayPal and venmo?? After giving a Christian conference so much grief over asking for a fee. You are shameful sir!
Isaiah I am a Jewish believer in Jesus and I live in Israel. Thank you for praying for Israel, my people, and all of the innocent here. I’ve been listening to you for the last couple of years and your ministry has blessed me so much. I’ve turned to you so many times for wisdom and encouragement in the Lord. I’ve sat in the bomb shelter several times since this started, crying out to God while rockets were exploding nearby, while my dearest friends in the army are fighting on the frontline. It was so encouraging to hear your prayers tonight and feel support from someone I look up to. God bless you ❤
Praying for protection for you and your family and for Israel 🇮🇱 🙏
@@netnomad47 Amen, thank you! May the Lord bless you abundantly 🙏💙🤍
Standing with and praying for Israel. Stay safe 🙏🏼
God bless you and protect you and all Israel
God bless you I pray the Lord gives peace and protection over Israel in Jesus name 🤍
Guys I'm one of the most skeptical Christians out there but even I admit that speaking in tongues is a real thing. As a kid I used to deal with a lot of anxiety, depression and uncontrollable thoughts of losing my mind. It was absolutely horrible. One day I got so fed up with it and decided to tell my mother everything I was going through. My mother was and still is a hardcore Christian in love with God. She started to pray over me with her hand over my head and as her prayer grew louder and stronger she started speaking a language that I didn't know. It sounded a little like Hebrew but at the same time sounded like something completely different. It startled me at first, but I quickly knew she was speaking a heavenly language. It definitely wasn't gibberish. Even though I didn't understand what she was saying, I knew it was real communication. My anxiety left after that and her prayers helped me gain peace. Ever since that day, I took tongues seriously and won't ever dare to mock it.
Wow that’s a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Christian and skeptical is an oxymoron. You can’t be skeptical of the LORD’s tongues. Test the spirit, and speak to JESUS. He always shows us the way.
Allen Parr pushing false doctrine
Skeptical or a Berean- like Christian who searches and tests spirits according to scripture as we all should do anyway. Keep in order and scripture, God is Holy & isn't in disorderly or confusion ruled
environment
Wow beautiful story!
My husband and I were recently going through deliverance with our friend. At one point, we no longer knew what to do, and the Holy Spirit lead my husband and I both to pray in tongues. Once we started to pray in the spirit for about ten minutes, the demons started coming out of our friend. And thank You, Jesus, our friend has been freed from every single demon! 👏🏼👏🏼
Speaking/praying in tongues is REAL, thank You, Holy Spirit for interceding God’s perfect will for us through praying in tongues.
I had the same experience with an ex coworker at the time. She was manifesting and talking about suicide. I started to pray for her and then I prayed in tongues and she about fell. She said "everytime you would start praying in tongues my leg felt like giving out." Long story short The Lord led me later on to help assist her in deliverance and praying in tongues was a HUGE part of it. When I would pray in tongues those demons would manifest and growl like crazy! But it was time they had to come out. You can't make this stuff up. God is good. 😁
I've had dreams of casting out demons and speaking in tongues to drive them out. They would immediately leave.
me too also had dreams with demons and i would at some time began speaking and praying in tongues and my wife would hit me in ribs and i will awake.
I went through deliverance myself and when tongues were spoken during that time, i was tormented in a way. Would cover my ears and scream my head off. It was like fire
@@shaneilloves For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:29
I pleaded with God to give me the gift. I heard "Just start speaking" but I felt I couldn't do it so I didn't. A week later I pleaded again for Him to give me strength to speak in tongues and I opened my mouth and it just started flowing out! Thank you God !
Praise God! I’m so happy for you!
Glory to God!
I had a similar experience. I wanted it so bad and it just came! why wouldn’t my Father give me good gifts . 🎉
Really? Tht is so cool! I have thought of asking but I've been holding back. Idk why. I just do.
Thank you for your testimony friend :) I wanted to speak in tongues so badly but my faith was lacking and I couldn’t “just start speaking”, like i would open my mouth and nothing came out. After a few weeks of praying i literally FELT the fire of the Holy Spirit and i was able to pray in tongues after that. Glory to God fr
Testimony: I desperately was in need and I cried out to God and in that moment I begin to pray in tongues and the next day I got everything that I needed so I truly believe in speaking in tongues and it is next level, necessary and available to anyone who wants it.
I know this video wasn’t intended to be funny but I laughed out loud a few times.
AMEN!!!!
Amen this is what happened to me too. God is incredible 🙌
Same, laughed a few times😂
How ? How can u do that?
@@alvalebron6761 If you’re asking how I prayed in tongues it wasn’t intentional like I said I cried out to him and my heart was sincere and vulnerable before him I think that’s what allowed the Holy Spirit to come and intervene on my behalf.
As far as “peer pressure” goes, I was literally baptized in the Holy Spirit in my home while praying for a “block to be lifted off of my prayers”. I had felt like I couldn’t pray for years, and in that moment, this was supernaturally lifted off of me, and I began to speak in tongues. It is beautiful, it is biblical, and literally lifted so much off of my own shoulders. When I don’t know how to pray, the Holy Spirit does for me.
I feel that same block. I'm so glad I read your post. I will pray for that block to be lifted. Maybe that will help me too. Even if I never speak in tongues, which I do want to, I at least want to pray more. It shouldn't be hard, but for me, it usually is. But, when it matters most for someone else, I can pray like never before, and GOD answers faithfully!!! Everytime. But I can only think 9f 3 times that has happened. Other times, it is not so easy. Idk why?
That happened to me too, a supernatural experience while in deep prayer. It's a beautiful and Holy thing.
The peer pressure example is something that does happen, maybe not for you but def for other people.
My experience of speaking in tongues wasn't peer pressure as Allen put it at all !! It was the grace and presence of the Holy Spirit that I received this gift by faith, and I'm an ex Muslim!! I wasn't even around other believers to have peer pressure!! I asked the Holy Spirit and received it by faith. Speaking in tongues really strengthens and blesses the believer and raises our faith drastically. I am thankful, Holy Spirit 🙏🙏
I've never heard of an ex-Muslim who speaks in tongues! I'm 101% sure it happens to them just like everyone else, it's just the first time hearing it 😁 I loved reading your comment
Same here, I got filled praying one morning in bed after seeking God and asking him to fill me with the Holy Spirit and no one was around me.
I was all alone when it happened no peer pressure and it changed my life, I was drawn closer to God and glorified him even more.
I was a revert to Islam for 10 years and just recently left. Very proud of you in your walk of faith. Keep up the good work ❤
Wow! Awesome testimony!
Very powerful
This hurts my heart. I love Allen, but I am praying that the Holy Spirit will open his eyes to the truth about tongues so that he will stop discouraging people from being obedient to Scripture. The Bible tells us to earnestly desire spiritual gifts.😢
Speaking in tongues isn’t the only spiritual gift…
Amen.
@@loiscassell9095But it is one of them.
Very True. May God Show Allen Mercy
Yesss🙏🏽🙌🏽
Speaking in tongues is something that opened up a door for me. I felt different. Lighter. Brighter. I started to transform. The Holy Spirit has been moulding me. Sometimes, i cant seem to remember who i was before. Receiving His Spirit is a big blessing. We all have a chance to experience it.
❤❤❤❤❤
What did you say the last time you "spoke in tongues"? What did those who heard you say they heard?
Speaking in tongues is not only a gift (1 Corinthians 12:4 & v10), it is 1 of the 5 powers of miraculous signs and wonders of the Apostles (Mark 16:17). The only way a believer can perform the miraculous sign and wonder of speaking in tongues is by an Apostle (Acts 1:15-26) baptizing you with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5) by placing hands on you (Acts 19:6 & Acts 8:17) or by an Apostle speaking to you (Acts 10:44 & Acts 11:15). All the Apostles are dead, the believers they lay hands on or spoke to are dead and the 7 chosen men (Acts 6:2-6 & Acts 6:8 & Acts 8:6-8) are dead so the miraculous sign and wonder of speaking in tongues is non-existing along with the other 4 miraculous signs and wonders. We must follow the bible example of this subject.
FOLLOW PATTERN & EXAMPLE
Philippians 3:17 carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
1 Corinthians 4:6 Do not go beyond what is written...
1 Corinthians 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
This is an experience example but one day my sister in law was kneeling down and said to God "I don't know how to pray" and then she started praying tongues , where she didn't have the prayer language prior to her saying that to God. No one laid hands on her.
My Pastor husband was asked to pray for an extremely sick and fragile looking young girl. As he began to speak in tongues, to the surprise of her family, the girl who was until then unresponsive began screaming and manifesting saying” stop that ba ba language” . Of course my husband then continued to speak in tongues and the girl was delivered and healed. We then realized how and why the devil hates speaking in tongues.
Amen
Wow! Amen
Wow amazing!
The devil also hates the King James Bible. I’m not mocking other Bible’s but believe me, witches and devils hate the King James.
Speaking in tongues was life changing as a Christian. I felt closer to the Holy Spirit and my Christian walk became stronger
Oh yeah? How many languages do you speak?
@@peacefulprotester3274Tongues must not a known language. Don't be silly!🥱
No Alan mate!!! I went to bed one night after asking God for 6 months for the gift of tongues I closed my eyes and a lightening bolt hit me in the forhead and my whole body electrified. (Felt like I was plugged into the mains) and from nothing I did, I could not stop what happened next. My mouth ipemed on its own and this language flew out of my mouth at 100miles an hr! I had no control over it at all. I didn't have any peer pressure I just prayed and prayed because I want God's gifts and after sincere prayer that night God's supernatural power hit me like a lightening bolt I couldn't believe what had happened. It lasted for about a min or two maybe and then I felt myself cross back over I to the natural and ut got less and less as the electric vibrations that where running through me lessened. IT BLEW MY MIND! I was sooo greatful for God's move.. ...
The issue is these people are religious. They're just not open to the supernatural or spiritual things. This stuff is conpletley REAL! God bless Issiah!
Just got chills reading your comment!!
@@jmia8798i knowwww
I hear you out, but it's not necessary for your salvation, and NOT ALL will experience that gift according to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians.
People have different spiritual gifts, and not all can do what others can.
@@MultiBigAndy None of what you touched on was said or implied
@@northstar2621 Reread it carefully then come back..
Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift.
I used to think it was ridiculous speaking in tongues even being in a Pentecostal church, until it happened to me once. It was an early morning prayer session at my church and I knew the Holy Spirit would fill me. I even asked the Lord do what you will Lord but don't make it last long I have to go to work in a hour 😅 and He absolutely listened. I fell an electric shock go through my body and spoke in tongues. Now years later I can still pray in tongues but I tend to do it only when I'm in my quiet place with God. I can understand at times what I am praying as well. I had been praying to be able to interpret what I'm saying. At times when I hear others pray in tongues i can understand it as well.
True testimony, My parents had no where to live after they had been falsely promised a place to live, they had less than 2 weeks to find a place. They needed to be out by Oct.1. My dad was stressing out because my mom was out of the country for 3 weeks. My dad and I came together to pray urgently for them to have a home. We went to check out a place and there were many other people that had already applied. As worried as i was i know the word of God tells us to bring all our fears and anxieties to him. I asked the Lord to watch over my parents and provide a home. I began praying in tongues boldy. I knew in my Spirit they would get approved. The very next day my dad got the call he got the place and was able to get the keys. God is amazing and he absolutely provides.
Yes He does provide. There have been too many "coincidence" for me to think otherwise. I've prayed in tongues too, but had no idea what I said. How cool you can translate... That's another gift.🕊🕊🕊
I still find it ridiculous. Allen is spot on.
Because I started very young, I started to doubt my gift. So I quit? No, I asked God to give me the gift again so I know it was Him. And I said "If I go to heaven discovering i had fake tongues then it will not be my fault cause I asked and trusted in faith You gave it "
What did God do? He gave me visions of words I never seen before and I read them aloud learning a new tongue!
Parr is allowing satan to use him to rob faith from Christians.
Wow powerful testimony.. praise God
Yes! I got the gift of tongues and it was so normal the way i got it i thought it was myself so i asked the Lord for a dream of confirmation and i got a dream!!
Such a wise comment right here
The first time I spoke in tongues, I was casting out depression and demonic thoughts I was having. When I speak in tongues it is praying. I will start out in English, and it turns into tongues. I can actually feel my tongue feel different. I haven't spoke infront of anyone, but sometimes at church, I can feel the feeling on my tongue that I get when I'm praying. I usually get goosebumps. When I started to slack on reading my Bible and my relationship with God I noticed I wasn't able to pray in tongues. I had to pray for the gift to come back. It's not something I can just do by myself. God Bless you All! Jesus is King! ❤
Thanks for this! God is speaking through you. I also need to read this
Just so you know, once God has given us a gift He doesn’t take it away. We may fall distant from God and lack a connection but that gift is just in the background. No different from times in my life where I backslid and set my bible in a box in a closet. I still kept my bible, I just distanced myself from it. But now that God has drawn me back to him , it’s right here on my bed while I’m awake and as I sleep.
I understood 100% of what Isaiah said about tongues i was against tongues but what Isaiah said about tongues opened me because many of the questions i had about tongues actually got answered.
Tongues ARE real! I first spoke in Tongues when I was 14 and I received the gift in my room. It was only me and God. No peer pressure there just a young one seeking after God with everything.

THANK YOU!
Thank you for the breakdown
Thank you so much. I have my exam coming near and don't have time to listen full video. Thanks for breaking it down in a very understandable way, God bless!
Allen part does not use the king James or the new king James u think use the niv or not the weak tralotns
My friend was going to a church and was in a small group. The leader said they were going to all speak in tongues. She said, “What if I don’t feel comfortable with it?” She was told everyone in the group was required to. She left the group and the church. I don’t blame her. No one should be required to do it.
Exactly. You don't have to speak in tongues to have the holy spirit.
I was in a charismatic church for 14 years and I never spoke in tongues. I did feel like something was wrong with me. Then we moved and ended up in a basically dead church. About a year later I started speaking and singing in tongues when I was praying alone at home and have been using tongues since. I don't know why it took me so long to start.
It probably took you a while to disconnect from the social pressure of it. That's just my opinion of course.
@@feladodd5953 I believe you are correct. I think I may have had the gift but didn't use it until the pressure was gone. It came so naturally when it finally manifested.
Because it is about how much you have surrendered to the Holy Spirit 🙌🙌🙌
Because it was Gods timing not yours
Word says He gives the gifts as He will. Paul encourages us to pray for gifts, especially the gift of prophecy, but He gives as He will. There’s absolutely nothing we can do to receive anything but trust and surrender. Speaking in Tongues is not a sign of who’s more spiritual, surrendered or obedient. He just gives as He will (sorry for repeating this so much). If we’re not a getting a gift and desire it we just need to ask and pray for it, it shall be given at His time.
I was not pressured into speaking into tongues. being a PK, being in at least 5 denominations, and spiritual gift lessons I’ve heard intrigued me! I wanted to have a heavenly language to communicate in private with God. After prayer with a prophetess I was baptized by the Holy Spirit and received the gift of tongues because I asked…and I received! ❤️🙌🏽
I personally related to Allen Parr's experience of feeling forced, pressured into feeling I had to speak in tongues in a church I visited. I felt fear in that church, as a visitor. To me, that wasn't God.
What do you say to people who love the Lord, have truly had a "born again" experience with fruits of the spirit and a changed life to prove it...... but have never experienced speaking in tongues?
I was forced by a guest pastor one night and i was traumatized to the point where i stopped going to the alter for a while and would never go to the alter if we had guest pastors. Tongues cannot be forced. It is something given by God. I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience
@@LB81RNYou are not unsaved because you don't speak in tongues. Jesus is still your Savior and Lord and you don't have to second guess your salvation. Your testimony is personal and true and only you and God know what you've been through and how he has delivered you. ❤❤❤
Pray about tongues. Read over the scripture about it (Study!) and ask God privately for revelation and to be baptized in the spirit when you're comfortable. It is a gift and not meant to be forced. He will be patient with you and show up if you're seeking him.
When I felt a pressure because over and over the Pastor's wife of a church I used to go to kept saying we should all be able and to just open your mouth and God with take over and I just didn't want to speak in a fake tongue trying to speak in tongues. I prayed that night, Lord, if this is for me please bless me with this gift tonight. In the middle of the night, the woke me in prayer and speaking in tongues.
So glad that you responded to this video isaiah , he could have confuse so many people especially those who are not strong in the lord yet.thank the lord you your boldness and that you know the word , we need to read our Bible otherwise people can come and confuse us , read your Bible brothers and sisters always asking the Holy Spirit help us fully understand
I don't usually comment on videos, but I feel like my experience can help someone doubting. I was skeptical about tongues at a point, but I read & studied the bible, and I did see it was biblical. I asked God for this experience, and I prayed & prayed. One day crying out to him, I spoke in tongues. It was BEAUTIFUL. Just God & I. I didn't understand but I did feel my spirit edified. I was praying in my own language & the holy spirit took over, I continued to speak but in a different language & I couldn't control it. When I was done I cried so much, I was in awe. I was grateful for that experience. When it's the real thing, you will know without a doubt. It's definitely true & real. Believe it, pray for it, and receive it in the name of Jesus. God bless you all 🙏🏼
So was this a one time experience or do you now start praying in tounges out of your own will?
I had a very similar experience. It just came out, and crying and dropping to my knees with my head on the floor.
I felt restored, refreshed and renewed when it was over. Thank you Jesus
@botlhalenxumalo280 for me it has only been a one-time experience, I continue to pray to be able to experience it again 🙏🏼
I am 67 and have spoken in tongues since my thirties. I received the gift in my kitchen one night. Hearing Allen speaking in "fake tongues " I couldn't help but feel he was not speaking in fake tongues and perhaps he himself does not know what is really happening.
😮 I'm 62, and I've been praying in the Spirit for 42 years and noticed the lack of reverance and respect for the Holy Spirit in his mockery. I've also noticed through the years that those who are filled with the Holy Spirit carry themselves with such "fear of the Lord" I could never in a trillion years disrespect His Majesty with such disdain. I can say more but the Holy Spirit just brought to my remembrance the trembling and shaking I experienced the night He first came upon me. Hallelujah your Majesty Praise Your Holy name Jesus
Amen @Beehivequeen1955
He probably never spoke in tongues and doesn't live by the Holy Spirit
I can hear the Holy Spirit when tongue is real. The tongue Alan was speaking, I don't feel the Holy Spirit. :(
I want 😢
When I’m at home in my bedroom, praying to my father, and I begin to speak in tongues, there is no peer pressure. Nobody is around me, it’s just me and God. When I am communicating or warring in the spirit, I’m not trying to impress anybody. When you’ve gotten to a place of darkness, to your lowest point and the Holy Spirit, meets you there and lifts you up, there is nothing fake about it.
Also, Allen talks about how he was made to “feel” like a second class Christian for not speaking in tongues, his feelings speaks for itself; he might be dealing with spirit of rejection from childhood…his feedbacks are connected to his being as an existing human with much room for heart healing and deliverance from past issues, traumas and disappointments.
Allen needs to “re-visit” his childhood and everything that made him feel left out, unseen, rejected, and allow God to dig deep because it doesn’t make sense for an adult to show up in church and their first inspiration is to fit in, there’s a little boy in there somewhere that needed to feel the love and embrace of God…and so I would go back to the drawing board because when we don’t understand something at first, we have to go to God’s school where He “helps” us in maturity and soundness; this happens by healing and deliverance…He goes as far as our childhood, family traumas and environment because these things can condition our heart in a way that makes our heart a hard soil…where the seeds of God’s Word cannot bear fruit.
You’ll see that, most people who speaks like Allen “resist and reject,” they’re not flexible…their minds are made up and their hearts are made up, that engineers a veil over their eyes; they’ll fight you and debate you. In such cases, they’re not just making doctrine mistakes, they’re already set on what is doctrine according to “them” and are “unknowingly” but “willingly” an enemy of God because what they teach and preach doesn’t serve God’s purposes…it serves what satan wants to do, which is for us to be ignorant; it’s darker than Allen thinks. An intercessor is to pray in tongues, depending on what the spiritual charges are, and what God wants to do through that prayer, imagine such person comes across Allen’s teachings, if they begin to doubt they’ll abandon their post and that will create spiritual loopholes because that person has abandoned their assignments due to opening themselves to a wrong teaching...all of these things will build as a case against that person whose falsely teaching and preaching (I think people don’t understand just how ALIVE eternity is, a person can choose to walk through life as confident as they want, but God’s Word will never fail because God will judge us accordingly…God is not only our Heavenly Father, He’s also THE JUDGE).
Before I got baptized in The Holy Spirit, I went to a church that stirred up some questions in me…by no way did I “finalize” on these questions as doctrine, I didn’t conclude on “my” assumptions as doctrine, I know that God is tooooo GREAT for me to measure Him with my own ruler. I’ve even learned over the years that people can mishandle scriptures simply to affirm a moment that had nothing to do with The Holy Spirit (Allen was in error for “his” missed-steps but chooses to misinterpret scripture and The Holy Spirit, instead of making room for corrections; he doesn’t have to listen to us in this lifetime about how wrong he is, but a day will come where he’ll see for himself). It’s truly scary to stretch it and make “our errors” food to feed God’s people, it’s deception and God’s judgement is unto these assaults…it’s more lethal than some people thinks.
Summed up beautifully and accurately. Thank you for this response. Yes, when you don't heal you bleed on others. It's dangerous to state your feelings and experiences as facts and a standard as to what others ought to do or not do. Smh
LET'S PRAY FOR ALLEN TO GET HEALING HE NEEDS AS WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT AND ALLOWED OUR FEELINGS TO OVERRIDE LOGIC/THE WORD👍💌
I spoke in tongues alone in a hotel room after asking God for the ability to do so
One month after giving my life to Christ in 1992 while standing in a balony, praising the Lord at a worship service. I heard the sound of a mighty rushing wind, I saw a porter open full of Fire, the Holy Ghost over took me.
I saw Tongues of Fire set upon my mouth, and I began to speak in Tongues as the Spirit gave me utterance.THE HOLY GHOST COMPLETELY TOOK OVER ME. I had my own Acts chapter two upperroom experience. It was one of the most Beautiful, Supernatural encounters, I've ever had has a believer. I don't even have the words to express how Powerful and Glorious it was, to see Tongues of Fire take control of my mouth🔥🔥🔥🔥and gave me the ability to speak in another Tongues as the Spirit gave me the Utterance. If you haven't been Baptized in the HOLY GHOST, you are missing out on such a Beautiful Gift from the Lord. With that being said, nobody can tell me speaking in Tongues is of the devil, that's a lie straight from hell. Let me also add I'm still speaking in Tongues today, and have had many refillings 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾
"God isn't calling us to feel right about something or comfortable. He's calling us to be obedient."

I needed to hear that.
Imma share my experience here.
I used to watch Allen alot when i was first baptized. I just started going to a Pentecostal church and I doubted the Holy Spirit and the gifts. I doubted tongues, even after going through deliverance (hearing them speak tongues while unclean spirits were manifesting was like fire for me). We had some guest pastors at my church and one of them was very forceful. It made me hate going to the alter and i would avoid doing so when we had guest pastors. I was a bit traumatized tbh. My pastor & church family were always kind when tarrying with me but some guest pastors were not. Anyways, i was at home one night. I was supposed to be at bible study but i didnt go for some reason. I was BROKEN. I was pleasing my case before God and I spoke in tongues for the first time. I couldnt stop myself. I tried to but i couldnt. I was fearful and asked God to take it if it was something evil but i remembered the scriptures about God being a good father and wont give me something to harm me. I stopped praying for a while because of doubt.
Allen was forced and i know how that feels. I was only forced one night and it was TRAUMATIZING so i cant imagine how he felt and what he went through. Thank God i have good leaders at church. When i had any bad experiences, i talked with my pastor and he did his best to ensure it wouldnt happen again.
Thank you for sharing that!!
Cant agree with you there, in the video parr said he felt self pressured. No one forced him, no one put a gun 🔫 to his head, or said you're less than us if you dont speak in tongues. Parr said he felt pressured that way personally cause he didnt speak in tongues like his friends did, so therefore he started to fake it to fit in. To be cool basically. There's a difference.
And honestly you wrote you were forced to speak and it was traumatizing... girl... the holy spirits tongues always come with a feeling of peace, power, and freedom from bondage. If you felt that scared and traumatized, you should check that it wasn't demonic tongues speaking out of you.
I have had both situations where a demon spoke out of me during deliverance when i first came to the Lord; just full blown backwards-sounding evil fast snake-like demonic tongues. Got set free and filled with the Holy Ghost. Now i speak whatever he puts in me. Yes i can feel and know the difference.
@@ellaakiyama5670 maybe i should clarify. When i say forced, i mean they kept telling me to just speak in it and it was like they were trying to rip tongues out of my throat. And yes, it was traumatizing because of how forceful they were. For me, yes there was peer pressure to do so cause they kept telling me to talk and i couldnt. I wanted to fake it just so they could leave me alone but i COULDN'T do that to myself or to God. I never spoke in tongues that night. I spoke in tongues for the first time months later and i continue to do so
I went through deliverance. Demons spoke through me too. But i have been delivered and i am filled
I did. Went to a charismatic church. I was pressured. I was told by leadership that I needed to speak in tongues to really be saved, empowered, and experience the will of God for my life. I succumbed to the pressure and spoke in tongues, well I faked it. Acts 2, they understood their own languages, interpreter not needed. That’s pretty basic. Short point: I no longer fake tongues. I no longer go to a charismatic church. Thank God for that!
The reason Allen stopped speaking in tounges is because he never really did.
Yup
Yep
Yep. He should make this video about seeking the Lord to correct me IF I was deliberately Faking it.. that's what he should be doing
PIN THIS TO THE TOP! LIKE GEEZ ALLEN
YUPPPP! Anyone who speaks in tongues by “The Holy Spirit” CANNOT deny it. It’s an eternal well that once you tap into it, it’ll never leave you dry and in denial of God’s Power. Allen should’ve kept his mouth shut on this one, it’s one thing to have an experience(s) that was in error with The Holy Spirit but it becomes demonic when we take these false narratives to feed the masses with it. Allen will have his day. And he’ll regret it.
All I knew about tongues was acts 2 at the time and I was a fresh believer. I went to a dinner in a fellowship hall with believers while traveling through Texas when this woman came up to me and it was like Paul with the disciples in Ephesus . She said “have you received power ? Have you had the baptism of the Spirit , the baptism of fire?”
She layed hands on me and I shook out of my skin. Received boldness I never had, and I spoke in tongues . I had never heard tongues in person. I had only heard about it a little . It is for today . That was 4 years ago
Man when you do it for pure reasons, you literally feel the Holy Spirit shift the spirit and atmosphere, so powerful! It’s such a blessing! Allen is only speaking from his own guilt of giving into peer pressure vs truly believing it. He really needs to be careful! Every ounce of our being and DNA belongs to Elohim, let us utilize all of ourselves to pray and glorify Jesus! Allen is in his head and not in the mysteries of Elohim! The flesh wants to rule over the body so it tries to convince the spirit that allowing the Comforter to have control is foolish when it’s so very much the opposite! You can’t trust the ignorance of the flesh that opposes the Word of God.
I used to listen to Allen Parr quite a bit and he does have some great teachings but I started realising how skeptical he is about the things of the spirit and once I saw how much he looks up to McArthur I was like nope, don’t want the doubt.
I agree! Who is McArthur please?
@@Umm-d8y John McArthur js a preacher who takes a cessationist position on the gifts.
Tongues are biblical. Anyone who comes against it is coming against the Holy Spirit, and the Bible is very clear 🙏
It's just not true. You're basically saying the majority of Christians are heretics and blashphemers.
You have zero biblical evidence that gibberish is somehow a heavenly language.
@@billystorrs6054 Yeah you're right. He just saw the word tounges and he thinks he can just speak
@@billystorrs6054isaiah 28:11 and also Paul mentioned that though he speaks with the tongues of Angels. Stop calling things gibberish that you don't understand.
@@chrisgreer9029 Nothing in the Bible teaches that the kind of gibberish that Pentecostals speak is actually angelic language, and they can't prove it. They distort Paul's words to protect themselves from legitimate criticism. If Pentecostals are absolutely sure that what they do is biblical, they should be able to supply biblical proof of it.
Sadly this is a ploy of the enemy to bring division, distraction, and to discourage Believers to lay down one of our greatest spirutual weapons....and the enemy is trying to discredit the power of the Holy Spirit and His gifts. God help us ALL to discern the lies of the enemy to stop us from speaking in our heavenly language. Thank you so much Isaiah for standing on God's Word and bringing understanding to believers, especially new Believers who could become confused, fearful, and discouraged regarding spiritual gifts. God bless y'all!!!
You felt everything I felt. I had to unsubscribe to Allen because of this. I was so frustrated. Speaking in tongues is the way I get a deeper connection to God!
Same here! Lately I’ve been side eyeing his videos but this made me click the un-sub button so quick!
Same here y’all, i unsubscribed 😔 will just pray that by the Holy Spirit he receives the revelation of the truth of the Word
why do people put so much emphasis on tongues as if its the end all be all gift and it has even led to you unsubscribing to a fellow believer because he has an opinion on a specific thing, if that isn't immaturity idk what else is
the gifts of the spirit were given to build up the church if you gonna speak in togues with a translator who are you building ? look at all the other gifts seek them
What are the Gifts of the Holy Spirit?
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are unique skills and abilities given by the Holy Spirit to faithful followers of Christ to serve God for the common benefit of his people, the church. A listing of spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 mentions wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Comparable gifts are discussed in Ephesians 4:7-13, Isaiah 11:2-3, and Romans 12:3-8.
The gifts of the Spirit are simply God empowering faithful Christians to do what He has called us to do. 2 Peter 1:3 says, "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." The gifts of the Holy Spirit are part of "everything we need" to accomplish His plans for our lives.
Paul instructed that "We have different gifts, according to the grace given us... let [us] use [them] in proportion to [our] faith," Romans 12:6.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
There is some dispute as to the exact nature and number of gifts of the Holy Spirit, but here is a list of spiritual gifts referenced in the Bible verses above and their essential meanings.
The Gift of Wisdom - the gift to make choices and give leadership that is according to God's will.
The Gift of Knowledge - the gift to comprehensively understand a spiritual issue or circumstance.
The Gift of Faith - the gift to trust God and inspire others to trust God, no matter the conditions.
The Gift of Healing - the wondrous gift of using God's healing power to cure a person who is ill, wounded or suffering.
The Gift of Miracles - the gift to display signs and miracles that give credibility to God's Word and the Gospel message.
The Gift of Prophecy - the gift to declare a message from God.
The Gift of Discerning Spirits - the gift to recognize whether or not something is truly from God or in accordance with righteousness.
The Gift of Tongues - the gift to communicate in a foreign language you do not have experience with, to converse with those who speak that language.
The Gift of Interpreting Tongues - the gift of interpreting the speech and writings of a different language and translating it back to others in your own.
The Gift of Administration - the gift to keep things ordered and in agreement with God's principles.
The Gift of Helps - the gift of a desire and capacity to always help others and do whatever it takes to achieve a task.
if you look at all the gifts they all have a similarity they are to be used to build, uplift, guide and serve others not themselves
I can testify that I had a very similar situation throughout my life. I grew up around people that spoke / pray in tongues, and I felt that I wasn’t good of enough of a Christian because I didn’t have that gift . I ask the Holy Spirit so hard to give me that gift and at 35 years old after being a Christian for about 25 years, I received the gift of tongues in 2021. I can understand why people get so confused or discouraged. We must not stop and seek God with all our hearts.❤
We can speak in English as well as pray in English.
We can speak in tongues as well as pray in tongues.
Beautifully said brother. Amen 🙏
I know a TON of people who would say they were peer pressured into faking speaking in tongues. It’s pretty common so to say you have never never heard that seems a little unbelievable.
SPEAKING ON TONGIES HAS CHANGED/SAVED MY LIFE ❤❤!!
I LOVE YOU LORD JESUS
I speak in tongues. However once I called a rabbi about something and a lady answered the phone that had an accent, she said he wasn’t home and to call back tomorrow. The rabbi called me back the next day and asked me if I was Jewish or from Israel? I said, no. He said, then how did you talk to the lady who answered the phone yesterday? She is from Israel and does not speak a word of English and I did not speak any Hebrew. I believe God was using this miracle to draw this man to himself. Don’t underestimate God, he can do Anything!!! 😊
Everything you said about this is amen! I knew Allen’s video was off when I heard it. This is why it’s EXTREMELY important to read God’s Word!
True to read and read and re-read his word and He gives us wisdom and understanding....on what we are confused of..till we understand.......
Thanks Isaiah… I pray in tongues, preach it, and have watched it changed a number of lives at our church.
People around me like to argue that tongues are speaking in earthly languages and they use acts ch2 as their argument. After studying acts 2 and praying for an answer, I think we must acknowledge another manifestation of the spirit that is present at Pentecost. The Bible tells us that one manifestation is various tongues. Another manifestation is interpretation of tongues. They heard in their own language, not because the speaker was speaking in their native tongue, but because the spirit of the Lord, through the manifestation of the gift of interpretation, caused them to hear in their native tongue. It’s obvious if you consider how the spirit manifests. I myself as a young man, before I knew what tongues were , heard a man in our church speak in tongues. It was not permitted in my church. The problem was, I heard him speak in English and had no idea why people were reacting negatively. I had to tell them what he said. 20 years later after God opened my eyes, I understood what happened.
If it didn’t happen to Allen parr then it didn’t happen apparently. Sad for real.
Such a powerful witness of the Spirit's power! Amen, God bless you
You heard the man speak english is actually where Holy Spirit gave you the interpertation if what that man said.
You're so right about this brother. In fact, the proof text is in the fact that the disciples' detractors said they were "drunk". Why would someone who hears another person pray in his own native language claim drunkeness? It goes to show that the Spirit opened the ears of some to hear in their language and those whose hearts were hardened heard gibberish.
In fact, my pastor prayed in tongues for a lady some years ago and the lady asked him where he learned her language? This is the power of God!
@@fidelamoah9115 Amen!!! God’s ways are not our ways!!!
Me speaking in tongues was also positive! Some of my old music even shows how crazy I was going before I got saved and then received the gift of tongues. Even my wife said after hearing my old stuff that I sounded crazy. When I got hands laid on me and spoke in tongues falling to my knees crying… I literally felt stuff leaving my body as the Holy Spirit filled me. And I was fresh off the streets never grew up in church and didn’t really have any pre-knowledge of how it would go. My whole life changed and all I wanted to do from that point forward was worship forever
I also dropped to my knees and put my head on the floor and continued to pray. It was an awesome experience, the presence of The Lord is so strong it will bring you to your knees.
I've never spoke in tongues I pray that I can speak in the heavenly language one day. but what was that 😮🤯 No way can't nobody pressure so he conformed and faked it. he was making a fool out of him self. when God give u the gift it will flow from the pit of yr stomach🙏
Exactly, something erupted from my stomach the first day I spoke in tongues.
Amen its from your stomach
Tongues is actual language not that babbling nonesence.
Get baptized in name Jesus Christ then God promised his spirit read acts 2:38-41kjv. Jesus told peter he had keys and what to perch.
I received the gift of tongues in 2015 by asking God in prayer to receive this gift.
It happened after i had watched a RUclips video where a pastor was explaining how to receive it and it worked for me. However, after a while, I wasn't "feeling" anything special while praying, so I started doubting the gift and finally dismissed it as "gibberish with no specific tangible benefit". Also, I've never gotten a useful answer from any priest i asked about the use of this gift.
After I dismissed it, i backslid from faith and it led me to apathy and new age. But in the last 1 and a half years life hardships got me back to Jesus - and only him.
Recently I've watched a video by pastor Vlad Scavhuk where he challenged believers to pray in tongues every day for 10 minutes. I've been doing this challenge for 3 weeks now, using the gift again, and the circumstances in my daily life have started to miraculously change. I plan to continue using this gift daily.
I use it only home, and alone in my private time.
The moment Allen Par started seeking to please his peers instead of the Lord, was the moment he started to quench the Holy Spirit.
Allen never had the Holy Spirit, so there wasn't anything for him to quench.
Amen!! They become so religious and become less and less filled by the spirit
Thats a very dangerous mistake many preachers do. I have seen it few times. And felt how Holy Spirit is resisted. Was in service where you could tangibly feel Holy Spirit. And after worship the pastor came up and introduced a guy that would share info on how to work with money the kingdom way something like that. Oh my that was boring and frustrating. I couldnt wait for service to finish. If Holy Spirit is allowed to work than i dont want the service to finish. Mean why even go to church the house of God as people call it. But Gods Spirit isnt allowed to work!? Wow thats to me a no brainer. I just cant sorry but thats not for me no more. If Holy Spirits not welcome than why must i go to that church? To hear a man or woman speaking with a fancy accent and to hear big words you need a dictionary for? No thanks. Speak like a normal person no need to make a accent and sound smart. Thats how i honsetly feel about the traditional churches that are also discribed as spiritual graveyards.
One church we used to go to the Holy Spirit was always welcome. And than someone kinda pushed himself into position and was also given the chance. And it became more motivational messages and the friendly smile was kinda fake to me. And Holy Spirit got less and less chance to work in church. So we later on left after a few other events and so. We than got a new church thank God!! And as we attend the new church i could feel im feeding again. There is spiritual food again!!! I literally felt like someone who didnt eat for days and than again got food. Going to church without Holy Spirit being welcomed there, is like going to a resturant but not eating and going home afterwards.
@frikkiesmit327
Lol on the part with the fancy accent and word 😂. The Holy Spirit will guide you to church that is more spirit filled . What frustrates me the most about traditional church its so restricted instead of the freedom God’s spirit brings
Thank you for sharing! I listen to Allen Parr, too. But, I was very disheartened with that message. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit years ago. I prayed earnestly for this gift for 5 months because of the spiritual warfare I was in. When this happened at church, I felt an hot oil poured over me in the spirit, started at my feet, and rushed to my heart, and I literally felt flames of tongues poured out of my mouth. I pray in the Word, and always pray in the Holy Spirit everyday in my prayers time. It strengthens my faith in Christ to share, and draws me closer to God in my personal walk with Jesus. I prayed this morning, who to listen to, while I get ready for my day. Thank you again.
To this day, when I don’t understand something, I don’t turn my “misunderstandings” and personal journey of errors as a doctrine for the “entire” body of Christ. Allen is wrong because he cannot accept his journey as his own, but he’s preaching it as “sound” doctrine…that’s the issue. He’s walking on dangerous ground, he doesn’t know that it’s utterly disgusting, because The Holy Spirit cannot be mocked. He chose for himself to open up his mouth and speak in false tongues, that’s a “him” issue and not a “CHRISTIAN” problem, he’s carrying a counterfeit burden on his heart that God didn’t give to him because The Holy Spirit is not mute…He speaks and prays through us, so understanding is needed.
I wasn’t raised in a Christian environment at all. I gave my life to Christ at 22, and no peer pressure was involved…I spoke in tongues while in worship at church, and it was beautiful, and holy; because it was God Who showed up personally for me. I knew it was Him because it’s impossible to deny His Glory (everyone who has ever had an encounter with God’s Glory fell on their faces in The Bible and it’s “still” the same today, there’s NO WAYYY TO BYPASSS that experience as false and sheer imagination; God is MORE real than we are)…IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE HIS PRESENCE THROUGH ENCOUNTERS. No one pressured me and it wasn’t my flesh, because of what came from it.
At this point Allen is dangerous. He doesn’t know how demonic his doctrine is, the devil would love nothing more than for us to believe The Holy Spirit is limited in our lives.
Thats the cold part about deception. People never know when they are deceived. The Holy Spirit has to reveal Truth to us. Which makes me question if he even has The Spirit to begin with. In this final hour there is no room for error. Too crucial of a time for it. I prayed to God that He separates the wheat and the tares. I'm over the lukewarm, bubble gum, anti power god doctrines. Intellectuals who have no real RELATIONSHIP with Messiah. I'm over it. These clowns think they can "study" their way into Heaven. While we are called to study to show ourselves approved but that is only PART of the journey. The pharisees knew scripture. They still missed The Messiah right in front of their face. Satan knows scripture too very well. Did he not try to tempt Jesus with scripture?
The main part is giving God our hearts completely. The FIRST command.
I will say this to you because for some reason I believe I can. God pulled me out of the "four walls" over a year ago. No church hurt either. I wanna say that before someone reads this comment and assumes that everyone who doesn't go throw themselves under these so called leaders on sunday are hurt about something.
Now back to what I was thinking. I thought I was tripping at first but now I understand what The Lord is doing in these end times. A personal RELATIONSHIP led by THE HOLY SPIRIT will be even more crucial than ever. Why? Because these so called "astute" leaders will lead more people into hell in ignorance than ever. Mark my words. There is a reason many will say "Lord Lord" and not get into The Kingdom. People are not working out their OWN Salvation with fear and trembling like the bible tells us to do. They just hop under whoevers teachings and take it as Bible. When The Spirit is supposed to lead us into all Truth. As we see here online the same thing, anybody can just hop in front of a microphone and spew nonsense as bible. He got his feelings hurt. Felt like a "JV" christian. Which by the looks of it HE STILL IS ON MILK clearly. Allen has over 1,000,000 followers! Any idea what type of damage that does!? I'm beyond upset. This is ridiculous. But thats just ONE man. Any idea how many sunday services got false teachers in them. Better yet any idea how many of these leaders were really sent by The Lord? I bet you more than half set up there ministry via the flesh not The Spirit. And they say "hey make sure you go to a bible believing church!" I say YOU BETTER BE LED BY THE SPIRIT WHERE TO GO IF ANYWHERE FIRST! Its not the unbelievers that are the danger to The Body of Christ. Its the unbelieving believers. That SAME spirit that crucified Christ. We are in time of mass deception. The enemy is working from within the church. Make no mistake. Stay sensitive to The Spirit. Sry this is long. God Bless.
@sunnyhunn9315 Thank you ! There are too many RUclips channels that critique and nitpick every little thing. The worse part is he is potentially leading people away from biblical truths . Iam not saying he is a bad person or anything of the nature but he has become a respecter of persons.
@@Cassandra-250 Exactly. And at this points he’s not potentially leading people astray, he’s “ACTUALLY” and deliberately already doing that. Based on the feedbacks on his videos, he’s affecting the hearts of many.
People like Allen don’t just surrender “their” doctrine, and it’s even worst that he wants to “feed” it to God’s people as the way, the truth and the life (it’s possible to have questions for God, it’s possible to not understand something and so time is needed, more training is needed, more counsel is needed, BUT it’s demonic to feed deception and lies to the masses…it’s a “serious” spiritual offense, God uses tongues to address many circumstances on the earth and so imagine what Allen is messing with right now, it’s bigger and greater than him). He will have his day in the court of heaven, no one has ever grieved The Holy Spirit and escaped unaddressed, wether in this lifetime or the next. So it’s best to allow God to mature us spiritually and soundly so that we’re not operating in a spirit of error, because that’s the loophole of ignorance that satan will use to steal, kill and destroy.
Truth. This is doctrine of demons.😢
Testimony: I was saved in 2007 and I attend a babtist church where it is believed the gift of speaking in tongue is not for today only for Pentecost so I started searching and in my search one day after I was out of the shower getting ready for work I was meditating in God and this feeling came upon me and I just knew God wanted to do something so I said lord do your will in me and something unexplainable just came up from my belly and my mouth just started
moving and words that I
couldn’t understand were coming out of me. This hunger for God just started to grow and God has been opening my eyes to see and understand thing I couldn’t understand before. God is real and his gifts are also real if you receive by faith.
Paul gives us the answer to what praying in the spirit means literally right as he says “for if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful”. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays. Praying in the spirit. My spirit prays. I pray in a tongue, my spriest prayers. Therefore, when I pray in tongues, I’m praying in the spirit… there’s no way to miss it. And Jude is basically just saying what Paul said again when Paul said that praying in tongues is for edifying yourself. Jude literally says it’s building you up to pray in the spirit, which is exactly what Paul already said and Paul already explained that those terms are the same. There’s nothing to misunderstand with that.
No peer pressure for me. I just wanted it desperately because the Bible says it’s available to believers. I got the gift of tongues after watching a Derek Prince video on receiving the Holy Spirit. A week later, I get the baptism in the Holy Spirit with tongues in church on Pentecost Sunday. So powerful! When I’m in deep prayer or worship, my tongues language tends to take over. There was a time once recently in church where the Spirit was breathing deeply within me. I thought I was hyperventilating until I figured out that the Spirit wanted to speak through me. Once I yielded to the Spirit, it was like the rivers of living water were rushing out of my mouth. My tongues language is very fast and I can’t even talk that fast in English. It’s a glorious gift from God!
There definitely is an element of peer pressure in some churches, and I say this as a spirit-filled, tongues-speaking Christian.
I have a friend who visited a church where she was asked, repetively whether she speaks in tongues and when she said "no, not yet" she was asked whether she was truly saved, more than once, on more than one occasion.
The sad thing is that she earnestly does desire this gift and she IS a spirit-filled Christian - so much so that you can feel the Lord’s peace when you're around her.
I had my own struggles with tongues, but the day the Holy Spirit started praying through me, my life changed FOREVER. I have never been the same and I can never thank God enough!
Thank you for addressing this Isaiah! ✨
I just wanted to point out that this is definitely a very real struggle that Christians, especially baby Christians, deal with.
Isaiah, thank you SO MUCH for doing this reaction video and listening to the Holy Spirit in speaking out against this!!! I have been growing in my faith and praying in the spirit more and more these past few months. After hearing this video by Alan last week, I was attacked with intense doubt. I began doubting things I had never doubted before - starting with speaking in tongues, even to my relationship with the Holy Spirit and how present God is in our lives, that He loves me and cares for me - just from listening to this. I’ve been praying about it over this past week and praying against doubt and for Gods truth and I agree in believing this video is dangerous in sowing seeds of doubt into believers, especially if you’re new to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for this video 🙏🏼
Definitely not peer pressure... The first time I spoke in tongues I was 14 and attending a baptist church. I was reading 1 Co 12 and 14, and even though my youth group said it's not a thing anymore, I prayed and asked God if it's real please give it to me. Baptized in the Holy Spirit right there in my bed, never heard anyone do it before. Bad argument
Thank you so much Isaiah! I was so shocked when I saw Allan’s video. I remember when I first started talking in tongues. I wanted it so much! And when it came it was like a ball of fire ☄️ and I couldn’t stop! My sister older sister does not have the gift of tongues but she understands that in the Bible not everyone has this gift. My sister is a dreamer, the Lord is always speaking to her through dreams. ❤❤❤ Hallelujah thank you for this video I was unsettled in my heart and it was heavy until you made this video. ❤ Praise God.
man all this stuff the whole charismatic vs baptist dilemma really breaks my heart. i'm a "new" believer technically but not new at ALL. the Lord's taken me so far so incredibly fast and it's nothing i can boast about it's only by His spirit and my eyes have been on Jesus the whole time, i've had to repent at times and even recently of chasing healing and deliverance instead of just focusing on Jesus but He has been the pursuit. It really breaks my heart that people are so offended by the Holy Spirit and His works, the passion for Jesus, the DEATH TO SELF TO LIFT HIM UP! I need to mature definitely and He will mature me and bring people to mature me. I want to be pure, I will KEEP His word as my foundation. even the argument of the congregation joining in prayer in speaking in tongues...that's worship!!! intercession together. If someone's on the pulpit speaking in tongues without an interpreter yes that's wrong but together is WORSHIP!
I dont watch preachers online to see if they do it but my pastor and minister talk about it all the time. No one should be up there preaching a whole sermon speaking in tongues.
@@shaneilloves who have you seen speaking in tongues and trying to teach in tongues?? None!!
@DocToks Isn't it funny that the charismatics focuses more on Jesus and the Holy Spirit?? You know why? Because they depend solely on God. I wonder where you guys get that from. We are emphasizing on the power of God coupled with his love, while you're saying your God is powerless and has no love or mercy! That's the difference between Continuationists and cessationists!
@@raphaelfeneje486 ?
Many Baptists, not all, are still under the baptism of John for repentance. They havent made it to the 2nd phase of baptism of the Holy Ghost.
I was completely alone in my apartment when I was filled with the Spirit and spoke in tongues and I attended a ceassationist Church! It's really real!
I knew this was coming and I’m so glad you’re responding to this 🙏🏽 thank you for all that you do!
I agree with Isaiah, I will say though as someone who prays and sings in tongues personally, when I’ve gone to a church for deliverance I was pressured one time to speak in tongues after the deliverance was over. Like they wouldn’t just let me be but were waiting for me to do it. I know they asked me if I knew how and I told them I have before but still struggled with doubt but they were determined to have me practice. Other times when people got baptized I saw how they were praying for them to speak in tongues right after and would tell them how to speak it and have them practice before they let them out of the water. I do think sometimes it’s expected and pressured during baptisms or after deliverance prayers when I think the Holy Spirit is the only one that puts that language on our lips and if we desire the gift we can definitely pray for it or talk to others about it or practice it but when someone isn’t looking to do it and others are waiting on them to do it it does feel like your not saved unless you do. Again I’m all for tongues and practicing with the lord on it if it causes doubt and that we should declare gods word when we start to doubt in the practicing but I do believe the church has been guilty of pressuring at times
People mock what they don’t understand.....
It's not mocking unless I'm making fun of you. It's calling it out as how it is. On the subject of this gift of tongues, of course people are going to criticize and disbelieve in awkward, weird speaking that anyone else can imitate.
Many ministers don't believe in tongues. They say it was just for the apostles, and those days. ☹️
🤦 there are so many garbage content creators on RUclips nowadays. So much deception. Grateful for channels like this that shed a light on falsehood.
@The.Christian.Artist nobody was condemned... But the content was called out for what it is.
Wow “ garbage content creators” instead of saying something like this why don’t you pray for him instead so he will know the truth. I thought y’all Christian’s truly love your neighbor as said to do by Jesus.
@@ace4773 ... Okay...I Will... Thank you, That is a Good idea ✨✨✨ and The Right Thing To do... God Bless you ❤️ AMEN
@@ace4773 I'm not calling him garbage, but the doctrine and content is. You can love someone and still call out their nonsense.
@@ChrisNielsyeah brah that doctrine is garbage, the scripture literally says “if I pray in a tongue” it’s a complete disrespect to the sheep to not even really read the Bible and then get on a 300K subscription platform of believers and say something wildly uninformed
🔥testimony🔥
When God really began to move in my life around 18 years old (was raised primarily in liberal Protestant church) I was in a Pentecostal circle. I saw what a lot of so called speaking in tongues and I was disheartened from it because along with it I saw people getting pushed on the ground and it didn’t settle with me. Now because of that I didn’t disbelieve tongues because I could clearly see from scripture that it was true but I didn’t understand it from what I saw manifested before me. Then one day someone gave me a prayer cd didn’t listed to it for months but I had a bad day and out the cd on then half way through the man said to speak in tongues and I was saying to myself I don’t have that or know how to even do it. 🔥 All of the sudden this was while I was driving the presence of the lord came upon me words flowing out of my mouth that felt like they were shooting through the sky and the next thing I know I am my work place with no recollection of how I got there. Such a powerful experience that I didn’t even ask for but the Spirit of the Lord gave to me. Been a practicing tongue speaker for 15 years now praise the Lord. Don’t fear the gift embrace it and have the heavens open in your life
Praying for our brothers in Israel may God have mercy grace I'm Jesus name amen
I've been a Christ Jesus followerer 50 yrs and I've spoken in tongues probably 4 times and it was absolutely for deliverance and healing. The blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony brother
Thank you for making this video! I 100% agree. The Bible even says that when people are to logical spiritual things are hard to understand.
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)
I will be praying for Allen. ❤️
I can feel the power of the Holy Spirit so strongly when I pray in tongues. It is definitely a gift from God. The enemy wants to deceive even Christian’s and wants to rid the church of the power of God!
All I know is I earnestly desired to speak in tounges, asked my daughter 21 years ago to pray for me (nothing). The next day I Was singing and praising God and suddenly I had a massive download from heaven ( like the heavens opened )
I suddenly could sing, speak and pray in other languages ( I do mean languages)
Because depending on who or what I want to pray for the " language" changes.
Incredibly powerful because I often don't know how to pray about situations.
So I can just trust that God knows best.
Often I have heard people who don't speak in tounges despargin this " gift "
I just laugh because they are missing out on an incredible gift.
In Matthew 12:30-32 Jesus said, “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." (Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God.)
So we should never speak badly about the Holy Spirit. Often people insult the Holy Spirit by saying that the gifts of the Holy Spirit aren't real such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, words of knowledge, etc. There are a lot of Christians out there that accuse these gifts as being fake and by doing this they're calling the Holy Spirit a liar. These people only accept some of the Bible and not all of it, especially parts that are strange or out of the ordinary. But we're told to desire earnestly the Holy Spirit gifts. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Truth and our helper that Jesus promised and sent to us after he went to Heaven.
"Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy…”-1 Corinthians 14:39
“Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.”-1 Corinthians 14:1
“Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies.”-1 Thessalonians 5:19-20
“Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things, give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.”-1 Timothy 4:14-15
“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.”-2 Timothy 1:6
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit Mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12
The Word of Knowledge-This gift of the Holy Spirit is having knowledge about something that you have no ability or means of knowing based on your human intelligence.
The Word of Wisdom-This gift of the Holy Spirit works with the word of knowledge. It gives you the ability and understanding of how to apply the word of knowledge.
The Gift of Prophecy-This gift of the Holy Spirit is one that the scripture says, “to especially desire.” This gift is a direct Word from the Lord that is to be given to someone else to edify and build them up.
The Gift of Faith-This gift of the Holy Spirit grows as we walk with the Lord. You are saved by faith. The gift of faith is knowing full well that you cannot accomplish something on your own, but that Lord has empowered you to move into new levels to do miracles and wonders in His name.
The Gifts of Healings-There are actually different kinds of healings that the Spirit will do. Notice that the scripture says “gifts,” plural. These gifts equip you in various ways to access healing for yourself or be an anointed vessel that will heal others.
The Working of Miracles-This gift of the Holy Spirit is depicted throughout the Bible, from Moses parting the Red Sea to Jesus feeding 5000 people. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Therefore, He is still in the business of working miracles. Similar to the word of knowledge, this spiritual gift is manifested not by human efforts, but by the Holy Spirit. The work is unexplainable by nature. It edifies and delivers others.
The Discerning of Spirits-This gift of the Holy Spirit equips the discerner to see evil spirits that are operating in someone’s life. The Holy Spirit pulls back the curtains, exposing the evil spirits so that the person can experience a breakthrough from their bondage.
Different Kinds of Tongues-This gift of the Holy Spirit is simply a supernatural ability to speak and pray in a tongue that you do not naturally know. This can be spoken forth in prayer direct to God, or in an assembly where God anoints another Believer, with the gift of interpretation, to interpret the word spoken in the native tongue of the congregation (1 Corinthians 14:2, 13-14).
The Interpretation of Tongues-This gift of the Holy Spirit is to interpret the tongue that was spoken. This can either be for yourself (see 1 Corinthians 14:13-14) or for the Church (see 1 Corinthians 14:27-28).
1 Corinthians 14:1-25
"Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. 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. But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort. Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the church. I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified. Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified. I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue. Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me,
says the Lord.” Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is not for unbelievers but for believers. So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and inquirers or unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted of sin and are brought under judgment by all, as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare. So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”
1 Timothy 4:14-15
"Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.
“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.”
James 5:14-16
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Mark 16:14-20
14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
When I first was filled with the Holy Spirit after asking Jesus to fill me, I knew I was filled cause I felt it pour in me like honey from the top of my head to tge tip of my toes and instantly I had unspeakable joy! That was right before I went to sleep, I had a spiritual dream that night and woke up with a different language going through my head but I didn't open my mouth and let it out, I began singing worship songs in praise to God! A mother in the faith in my church was encouraging me to ask God for prayerful tongues because I was telling her I haven't but wanted to speak in tongues. I was outside raking leaves( I got born-again at end of March and this must of been October 1999) I asked Jesus in my head to give me prayerful tongues, then I opened my mouth and began to sing in tongues and worship as the Holy Spirit moved me. Some of the songs I recongnized like "Come O be faithful" but in a different language. Ever since, I've been able to pray in tongues, and that was over 20 years ago.
❤❤❤❤😢
Thank you!! I just watched this video today you are commenting on. So so sad. 😞
I was in shock myself. I believe in this gift and like you I was anointed with this gift and I wasn’t looking for it. I was touched by God. The Holy Spirit 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m pentecostal born again Christian. And I agree with you 💯thank you again for being bold and calling these negative actions out. 👏🏼🫶🏼 God bless you
Amen, I'm so glad you made this video. I understand where Allen was coming from, but the thing is you can't stop "speaking in tongues" if you were never genuinely speaking in tongues in the first place. Everything Allen expressed about desiring to be accepted, while I understand that motivation, I can't feel sympathy for someone playing pretend when it comes to the things of the Spirit. If there's a spiritual gift that God hasn't blessed you with, don't be religious and pretend to operate in that gift.
As far as the legitimacy of tongues, I'll tell you a story. One a little over a year ago, I had just started speaking in tongues and hadn't really fully comprehended how much power that actually was behind it. Around that time I began to realize that if I said what it was I wanted to pray for in my head (in English), Holy Spirit would put words into my mouth to speak. I'd done this a few times, but never got any real confirmation that my prayers in tongues were actually having any real effect in the world. So, one time I'm praying for my friend who's a witch and I pray in my head "Father [YHWH], open the eyes of his heart so that you may shine your light in" and like before Holy Spirit put words into my mouth and I began to speak them. Now, as I began to pray in tongues suddenly I feel like there's a force on the other end of my prayer that's fighting me and I began to pray harder/louder. The intensity continued to increase and my voice then began to change and I started shaking. I didn't let up however cause I kept thinking in my head "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world". Long story shorter, I eventually feel the moment that that force on the other finally relented and I knew Yah/Jesus had broken through to my friend's heart (if only for just a brief moment). After that I went on with the rest of my day not suspecting that anything would happen, but I turned out to be very wrong. You have to understand that in the spirit world when you go at the enemies plans, there's going to be a response and that response was swift. No more than a half hour had passed before Satan began his response. It started when, after having showered, I was taking out some trash before I went to the beach and on my way to the trash bin I notice this guy from my building that I'd never seen before filming me with his phone. I first just thought maybe he was filming something behind me, but as he followed me with every movement I made, I realized I was the subject of his filming. I then felt that heavy feeling in my spirit Holy Spirit causes me to feel every time demons are near and I knew what was happening. This man was sent by Satan. I ignored him and drove to the beach and once I get there, I was encountered by another of Satan's slaves. I had parked and was on my way to Santa Monica Pier when I suddenly notice this heavy-set black guy staring me down as I approach. Once I was within ear-shot he says to me "stay out of 'his' business" and I knew in my spirit (or rather Holy Spirit allowed me to know) the "his" was a reference to Satan. Finally, Satan had one more leg of his message to communicate before the day was over. Once I got back to my apartment, I walked into my building when I saw down the hallway there was that same guy that had been filming me earlier waiting in the lobby and he had with him 2 other men that I'd never seen. It was clearly meant to intimidate me, but for some reason I felt like putting them to the test. Scripture says that Jesus keeps us safe and that the Satan can't touch us [1 John 5:18] so I walked right down to where they were and grabbed my mail from mail box. That heavy feeling in my spirit was especially strong there cause I could feel they wanted to hurt me, but in the time I got my mail from box, I turned around and they had fled. I learned a few things that day: 1. Tongues are 1000% real and what you pray does have a tangible effect in the natural as well as in the spirit, 2. The demonic world is highly organized and they mobilize incredibly quickly, so you have to be ready for the retaliation when disrupting their plans, and 3. YHWH/Jesus really is in complete control and even when people are right there in front of you ready to rip you to shreds, they can't and won't do anything to you unless God allows them to.
Anyway, just wanted to share this story. Hope it blesses all who read it. Tongues are real guys, but wait to be blessed, don't play pretend. As Isaiah said, it's disrespectful and deceitful.
I understand why one might get offended by his fake tongues... but I think he was just demonstrating that it can be mimicked in a way that makes it sound believable. I think the intention matters, if you are making fun of people who do it that is very messed up... but I dont think that was what he was trying to do.
Maybe his intentions were good, but my reaction was the same. It was not necessary to demonstrate and it did feel like he was mocking Holy Spirit. Not a good place to be in. 😕
He should have spoken about it. Mocking it is a weird thing to do. It was not necessary at all
That was offensive to The Holy Spirit, I felt disgusted from the pit of my stomach, it was grievous. You can decide to take it lightly and say that it wasn’t his intention, but some of you are forgetting just how great the reign and dominion of God is…we should NEVER make light of His Kingdom on any subject. It’s best for someone to look to God for understanding and giving it “time” for The Holy Spirit to help us, but it’s wrong to make solid doctrines out of “personal” errors.
When I first gave my life to Christ, there were many moments that could’ve motivated me to make solid doctrines out of “my” misfortunes, but instead I waited patiently on The Lord to guide me and process me with mature revelations. Allen is wrong! And the opening of the video is literally an offense that’s spiritually recorded, and that will be used against him in the courts of heaven. What he doesn’t understand is that his heart posture was wrong, from the very beginning and he just needed “help” to understand and to grow “soundly” in that knowledge.
I would be veryyyyyy afraid to turn “my” journey of lacking understanding into doctrine for the entire body of Christ to abide by, I would tremble from the inside…because I know that I cannot play with God like that, and his people.
A person filled with the Holy Spirit knows when a tongue is authentic. Others who don't know will believe a fake tongue, but fake tongue can never deceive a person filled with the Holy Spirit.
It's still dangerous to mimick the holy spirit no matter what the reason is... let God be the judge.
I never heard fake tongues before and the moment that I heard him speak, made me uncomfortable instantly. God is giving us these spiritual gifts for the day of today. Be encouraged my brethren and rise up to what our Lord is calling for your life. If you don't have this gift, the word tells us ask and it shall be given unto us..🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow! What the both of you said resignated with me. I am continuously praying for the gift of tongues, because I recently learned that we should pray in tongues because that is language between our Heavenly FATHER and the person, and the enemy doesn't know what is being said.
Right
Don't let someone tell you that you "should" speak in tongues. That's satanic pressure. That's not love from God.
Even if you don't agree with speaking in tongues to speak against it and to MOCK speaking in tongues is very Dangerous😢. The Bible says my people perish from a lack of knowledge. Even the most educated people lack knowledge and understanding. I pray God would really have mercy on these people and help us see the error of our ways. 😢🙏🏿💯💔
I thought speaking in tongues it was demonic the first time I heard it. After reading scripture, and realizing God’s heart, I speak in tongues often, and it has been a huge part of my faith walk.
I used to be a oneness Pentecostal and was constantly told that I was not saved because I hadn’t spoke in tongues, It never happened. But I went to a charismatic/nondenominational church one day and there was no mention of tongues in the service at all. I responded to the alter call not even having tongues on my mind at all and I began to pray in tongues naturally for the first time.
Oneness pentecostal theology is wrong. Classical pentecostal or charismatic have it correct
@@jenex5608 yes I agree, I said that I used to be, but now I am not
Please pray for me..kim...and my family Jon..presley...and desiray. Thank you may god bless you.
Holy Spirit has given Isaiah such clarity for teaching & deep wisdom! Thank you!
This was one of the BEST teaching videos I have seen about speaking in tongues. This video edified me so much & has encouraged me to speak in tongues MORE. Thank you so much for doing this video Isaiah. It’s so much clearer NOW! Speaking in tongues is truly BENEFICIAL! This built up my faith and now i want to mediate on the verses you mentioned and save them in my heart. I know you spent a lot of time making this response video and studying and I am grateful, FOR REAL! God bless you ISAIAH, this has blessed me so much! One of my favorite videos! I had to pause the video just to say this, but I will watch all the way through the video!
P.S. You have an enjoyable personality!
I think you’re right that everybody has access. But even if they didn’t, as a parent, you don’t give every child, the exact same gift that you gave one of the other siblings. Example I got a bike when I was 12 a black beach cruiser. My sister got a really nice CD player Soundsystem … the point is , we each got what we needed in that season. As a parent, you know your children, and you know what they need or desire and different seasons of their lives and what will get them through to the next season.
When I heard Allan speaking in fake tongues at the beginning of his video, I immediately had discernment and said “that’s not real, that’s fake, he’s not speaking in heavenly tongues” my stomach turned too Isaiah.
It was demonic tongues.
Thank you Pastor Isaiah, we all need to accept correction & pruning. Praise God for truth. 🙌🙏
So thankful for this video response Isaiah. I got the gift of tongues last year or so but I wasn’t really praying in them out of being insecure. The Lord put it on me to pray in them the last few weeks and I love it! I feel so empowered and edified. Then Allen’s video came right when I started praying in them and was confused but it was clear I disagreed with him and continued praying in them. I asked the Lord to confirm this was truth after seeing his video and you did this video and you made it beyond clear, logical, and concise. Spot on. Thank you Lord for the answered prayer and using Isaiah on this controversial take. Amen!
Isaiah refuses to acknowledge Paul's clear teaching that not all Christians have the gift of tongues. We are a body and have been given different gifts. Paul urges us to desire the best gifts. Tongues are clearly the least of all the gifts. Paul makes it clear in 1 Corinthians, and they are always listed last. They can be powerful, like all spiritual gifts, but they are NOT the evidence of being filled with the spirit. There is a great peer pressure for people to speak in tongues in the charismatic mvmt, and people are always saying that every Christian can have this gift, which is directly contrary to Apostolic teaching. Parr is absolutely correct in this video on this point. I was impressed with Isaiah that he conceded that Romans 8:26 may not be about tongues. Those who push tongues on every Christian ALWAYS say that this verse is about tongues when it clearly says that the Spirit makes sense of the cries of every Christian who does not know how to pray properly and can only groan and not utter anything at all. It can not be about tongues because nothing is uttered but it is accomplishing the same thing that those praying to God in tongues are accomplishing. You see, God takes care of all His children and hears the cries of all their hearts, even if they don't know exactly how to pray and whether they have the gift of tongues or not.
I havent finished watching the video but i can already tell Allen should have talked to God about this before making a whole video on it because some of us new to the faith and finding out about this gift are still skeptical that we could get this gift and then here comes Allen and makes this negative video. It just doesnt help anything and i hope he corrects it. Thank you Isaiah for addressing this
This was for me spot on timing. My daughter had influenced me to pause from praying in tongues until I was more sure about it. And because of your teaching I am sooooooo sure what I believe. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TEACHING 💗
I pray that this brother will be baptised by the Holy Spirit and receive HIS power and experience the supernatural. In Jesus Name.
Don't say that Allen Par. Just because he doesn't speak in tounges it doesn't mean he doesn't have the Holy Spirit. He was actually warning about the behavior of yours thinking you're better and spirit filled yet some of you lack the fruit of the Holy Spirit (not you). Also pressuring people to speak on tounges or else they don't have Holy Spirit
Allen Par is a good teacher who is gentle and sound. This video of Isaiah he doesn't listen and he argues Allen as if Allen doesn't understand the bible. He stops video and talks and argue without a point
@@pepetualmsiska5118 Allen had an awful experience and used that to justify MOCKING the Holy Spirit. Pressuring someone to speak in tongues is awful, HOWEVER, Allen telling people not to speak in tongues just because he FAKED it is a bit absurd. How can you tell believers who speak in tongues to not do it because you faked it?? How can you not see the problem with that video? Even if you dont believe in speaking in tongues, you dont see him mocking it as disrespectful?
@@pepetualmsiska5118The Bible says tongues is evidence of the Holy Spirit and a gift from God. All Christians *should* desire gifts of the spirit, and in a faith based relationship with God the existence of evidence is powerful!!! Those using the gift of tongues *do* have something that others don't have. I encourage you to desire it as the word says instead of creating an us vs them mindset. We're all serving the same God and reading the same word. You are right that no one person is "better" than another.
@@shaneilloves Yeah I agree with you that he shouldn't have spoken fake tongues as a teacher who teaches many people. I think he did that to make a point. You people don't go as hard on those heretic pastors who teach people to speak in tongues.
No where in the bible do we have "heavenly language". 1 cor 13v 1 is about love and people claim that they can speak like angels and that's heavenly language. I am sorry if you think it's mockery but let's try to also get a point. May God forgive him if it's wrong but hear where he comes from.
Isaiah, I SO appreciate your ministry and for standing for Truth. I stopped listening to Allen Parr a while ago because of some teaching that was just "off."
I am thankful for Holy Spirit who quickens our spirits when teaching is off.
Alan Parr is a good teacher I learned a lot of basic questions from him. I did quir following him however over this issue when he gave his testimony. When he admitted he was faking it. He has flip flopped on this issue after he and Marcus Rogers had a discussion he reversed his stance. No he is going back on it. This video popped up I watched the first portion and just shut it off. If you don't know about it it is best just to leave the issue alone. I was baptized with the Spirit in 93 was always told if you weren't you would not be allowed into heaven. I don't believe that, tounges was used to show the Apostles God was still with them just as he is today. 90% of my prayer life is in tounges. It is just that does not make one spiritually superior I know Catholics that have walked closer to the Lord than I have it is always a point of contention I believe anyone can receive it. His studies are just looking to back up his belief. He disregards all through the book of Acts every time someone was baptized in the Spirit they spoke in tounges.
Just today, as I was in my closet praying, I told The Lord I felt like he wanted me to pray over a certain young lady and her business (restaurant). I said, “ I don’t know why” and all of a sudden The Holy Spirit took over and started praying in an unknown tongue. Afterwards, said, I didn’t know what to pray for her, but you did my Friend.😅❤ I love The Holy Spirit! Never a full moment with Him.❤
Whether or not Allen believes in tongues, how does he not feel wrong mocking it? Even when i was in the world & didnt fully believed in it, i felt disgusted seeing ppl mock it or when they mocked Jesus. Idk. Mocking tongues gives weird vibes. It gives me the same feeling of ppl mocking Jesus
@@pyrex25 ok then. Discernment, not vibes. I'm still a new christian so i am still learning lol
@@shaneilloveshe’s acting religiously. You can say vibes lol
I sought God for my prayer language , had nothing to do with peer pressure. Thank you Holy Spirit for baptizing me in your spirit! ❤
I will say that in my personal experience, every time I spoke in tongues (even though I felt like I sounded very weird at first and to this day) something supernatural happened.
It absolutely did. Nothing but a supernatural experience could change me, and boy did I get one!
Beautiful experience.🕊🙏❤
