Tongues

Speaking in tongues back in the biblical days of Christ had a whole different meaning than it does today. In the book of Acts the Holy Spirit of God rested upon many who spoke in the universal language of God and understood each other, although to foreign ears it seemed like gibberish. The visible symbolism at the Day of Pentecost when cloven tongues of fire rested upon those that spoke was God receiving the glory for the miracle at hand, and leaving little doubt of his involvement. Today, when tongues is spoken it sounds like turkey gobbling, especially when there is no interpretation and it is not sanctioned by the Holy Spirit.

Current tongues lends itself more to gossiping, bearing false witness and

taking the Lord’s name in vain than it does to the authenticity of the gift from God. The gift has been rescinded from most due to the poison that spews from the so called believers’ mouths. Unfortunately, our dialogue is filled with foul language and character assignation of others with a condemning spirit of negativity as Satan orchestrates our polluted minds.

The true gift of tongues is communication from the Holy Ghost to our soul in guiding us with prophesy and interpretation from God. If we are in obedience and compliance with God the gift of tongues will come upon us with a full understanding and application. If we are out of the will of God with our lives we are quenching the Holy Spirit from applying himself to further our understanding, knowledge and wisdom of the Father.

The following scripture is why we should never open our mouths without carefully and wise fully choosing our words: Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form not comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our grief's, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Isaiah 53:1-7
