1 Cor 12:4 There are diversities of
gifts, but the same Spirit.
:5 There are differences of ministries,
but the same Lord
:6 And there are diversities of
activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit
is given to each one for the profit of all:
:10 to another the working of miracles,
to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another
different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues,
:28 And God has appointed these in the
church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties
of tongues.
Lk 12:26 If you then are not able to do
the least, why are you anxious for the rest?
1 Cor 13:8 Love never fails. But
whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are
tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish
away.
:9 For we know in part and we prophesy
in part.
:10 But when that which is perfect has
come, then that which is in part will be done away,
:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a
child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I
became a man, I put away childish things,
:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly,
but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just
as I also am known,
Eph 4:12 for the equipping of the
saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ,
:13 till we all come to the unity of
the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man to
the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
What is tongues? It is a language or
languages that is unknown by the person speaking it. It is a
supernatural gift of speaking in a language you know nothing about.
Acts 2 is where it began.
You begin and He will supply the rest.
It is a step of faith.
IS 28:11 For with stammering lips and
another tongue He will speak to this people.
Joel 2:24 The threshing floors shall be
full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
:25”So I will restore to you the
years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the
consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent
among you.
:26 You shall eat in plenty and be
satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt
wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame.
:27 Then you shall know that I am in
the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God and there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame,.
:28 “And it shall come to pass
afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, you old men shall dream dreams, your
young men shall see visions.
:29 And also on My menservants and on
My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
:30”And I will show wonders in the
heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
:31 The sun will be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and
awesome day of the Lord.
:32 And it shall come to pass that
whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount
Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has
said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls.
Peter confirmed this in Acts.
1 Cor 14:2 For he who speaks in a
tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him;
however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
Tongues with interpretation is equal to
prophecy.
Heb 10:25 not forsaking the assembling
of ourselves together, as in the manner of some, but exhorting one
another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Exhort means to edify, lift up,
encourage, admonish.
1 Cor 14:10 There are, it may be, so
many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without
significance.
1 Cor 14:40 Let all things be done
decently and in order.
Why should we speak in tongues? That
those that are weary may rest.
That it be refreshing to you.
To edify yourself. To build up yourself
when you feel torn down.
Jude 20 But you, beloved, building
yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
1 Cor 14:22 Therefore tongues are for a
sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is
not for unbelievers but for those who believe.
Acts 2:6 And when this sound occurred,
the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone
heard them speak in his own language.
:7 Then they were all amazed and
marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak
Galileans?
:8 And how is it that we hear, each in
our own language in which we were born?
:9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites,
those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and
the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, bot Jews and
proselytes,
:11 Cretans and Arabs – we hear them
speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.”
:12 So they were all amazed and
perplexed, saying to one another, “whatever could this mean?”
:16 But this is what was spoken by the
prophet Joel:
Acts 10:44 While Peter was still
speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon those who heard the
word.
:45 And those of the circumcision who
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the
gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.
:46 For they heard them speak with
tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered,
Tongues can be used as intercession.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps
in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we
ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with
groanings which cannot be uttered.
:27 Now He who searches the hearts
knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession
for the saints according to the will of God.
