The Advantages of Speaking in TonguesSpeaking in Tongues is one of the most powerful gifts God has given believers. Some may ask, ‘What is speaking in tongues?’ It’s the gift that comes in our lives when we receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. After He rose from the dead, Jesus told His disciples that they needed to be clothed with power from Heaven in order to be His witnesses and this would happen when they would be saturated (or baptised) in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-8). Ten days later, the disciples experienced this supernatural event and amongst other things, they began to speak in languages they had never previously learnt (Acts 2:1-13).
This spiritual gift (Speaking in tongues) remained with them and became a launching pad from which they moved in such astonishing power that even opponents of the Christian faith claimed that believers had ‘turned the world upside down’ (Acts 17:6). So why is speaking in tongues so special and how can it help us?
Firstly, speaking in tongues builds you up. He who speaks in a tongue edifies (builds up) himself (1 Cor 14:4). The New Living Translation says ‘A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally.’ It is a flow of spiritual power into your body and soul. It affects your mind, will and emotions. You will find that revelation will flow in your life as you practise speaking in tongues. You will gain understanding about yourself or things that may be affecting you. There will also be times where God will give you revelation about those around you so you can help them.
Secondly, speaking in tongues enables us to have an effective prayer life. What’s an effective prayer life? It’s a prayer life that produces results. I don’t know about you but I’m over fruitless praying. What’s the point of praying if it fails to produce results? When it comes to prayer, we often struggle because we’re not always sure how to pray properly. Many times we find ourselves in situations where we don’t know exactly what to say in prayer to God about our circumstance. This is where speaking in tongues is so valuable. The bible says we don’t know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Holy Spirit helps us to pray with groanings which cannot be uttered (Rom 8:26). This is languages that we haven’t previously learnt. Speaking in tongues helps to make our prayer life effective.
Thirdly, as we pray in tongues, we access the wisdom of God within us. Do you realize that as a believer you know all things? That’s not my opinion; that’s what the bible says. 'But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things' (1 John 2:20). I remember when I first read that bible verse I thought to myself ‘I can’t possibly know all things because I didn’t know what that verse just told me!’ I failed to understand that the knowledge of all things is in God who lives in my spirit. When I pray in tongues I pray in the Spirit and I unlock the wisdom of God hidden within me (I Cor 2:6-7; 14:2). All the answers you need are in Him and He is in you. The way to get them out is to pray in tongues.

If you’ve been a believer for six months or longer, you’ve more than likely experienced it. A prayer failure; a faith project that did not turn out the way you imagined.
Sometimes it seems that we can do all the right things and get the wrong results. Even worse, sometimes it seems that we’ve done nothing wrong but we’ve been wronged. For example, consider someone who was abused as a baby or a child. What wrong can a baby or child do that necessitates abuse? Nothing. And yet, there are many that have suffered wrong at the hands of those that should know better.
It seems at times, life just doesn’t play fair. Whether it’s failing to get the new job or promotion you were sure was yours, the relationship that shattered, a business venture that turned pear shaped, the loss of a loved one, or even a traumatic event. From ongoing health issues to workplace bullying, most have suffered times in their life where something went terribly wrong. Life didn’t play fair.
What do you do when that happens? What do you do when life isn’t playing fair? Your answer to these questions will determine whether you recover or remain defeated.
In May 2017, my beautiful bride of 28 years went to Heaven. Joy had been diagnosed 6 months earlier with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer and was told that there was nothing the doctors could do. We knew God was more than able to turn a terrible situation into a terrific situation and so we began to apply the principles of faith. We saw many notable things turn around and expected a complete recovery. Her departure was totally unexpected and devastating in many ways.
What I’m going to share with you are some principles that the Lord revealed to me since that time. They have not only brought comfort to a distressed soul but also empowered me to overcome when life didn’t play fair. These principles are equally applicable for anyone that has experienced a traumatic event.
What do you do when life doesn’t play fair? The first thing you do is keep ‘Why me?’ out of your vocabulary. You are not the only one that has experienced tragedy, setback or injustice. The universe did not align itself against you. Sometimes life just doesn’t play fair and asking the question ‘Why me?’ will lead you into a dark slippery pit called self-pity. Self-pity can have a strong pull – particularly if you’ve experienced a terrible wrong but you must resist it!
I was not the first person to lose their spouse and I will not be the last. It was not God’s fault that Joy died; He was trying to push the healing through. But there was something that we missed; something important that we were overlooking. We couldn’t see it because of our imperfection. You see, as believers, we are all growing and developing which means we don’t do things perfectly. Not a single believer has a 100% success record in prayer. Why? Because we haven’t matured in every area; there are still areas in our lives that we need to grow in or areas that we need to soften our hearts toward God.
Sometimes you can be doing everything you know to do and you fail to receive. This is not God withholding from us; it’s just our inability at times to perceive what He’s trying to show us. We don’t need to condemn ourselves in this. The more we grow, the better we’ll get. But as we grow we will experience failure in prayer from time to time and this is not God’s will. What do you do when this happens? The first is: keep ‘Why me?’ out of your vocabulary.
