The Gifts: Speaking in Tongues

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
It goes into the hearts of the people, does it return void? It produces results.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:25,000
How is everyone today? This is the day that the Lord has made. I'll rejoice and be glad in it.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:38,000
I've thought about this moment many, many times where I was in a certain church in a certain place, and I remember speaking on Psalm 63.

5
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Isn't that something how you remember certain things? And I believe it was this church, not who he is now, but back in the day.

6
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Psalm 63, oh God, you are my God, early will I seek you, I'm just talking about being hungry and thirsty for God, and so on and so forth.

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I believe this was the church because this was the exact same road. It wasn't that far from where I lived. It was just really amazing. Here we are.

8
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:13,000
The honest to God's truth is that there's a lot of ministers and ministries that start out, but they don't last for the duration.

9
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:25,000
The apostle Paul said, I fought a good fight, I finished my course, and there's laid up for me a crown, but there's a lot of people in ministry that started out that I know of that are not in ministry today.

10
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:36,000
So there's something to be said about the Andy Suraces and the Richard Myers and the Jamie Morgan's and even the Margie Florence, that we started out and we're still going.

11
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Ministry is not an easy, it's a lot of reward, but it's not easy. You lay down your life and you give yourself to the gospel and you do your best to be obedient to God, and then not everybody understands you.

12
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000
It's just not always an easy line, and you don't make a lot of money. I'm just saying.

13
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:12,000
I was telling the ladies, thank God I have my husband who has a career and a job, and I have the opportunity to just put everything I get right back into the ministry, and we're teaching the world how to pray, we're making videos, we're doing all kinds of things.

14
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:21,000
But when I was single and on the road in the ministry, we needed to take a salary, and I took the housing allowance and all the things that you do corporately.

15
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So anyway, that was all free. But it's really good to be here, it's good to be here with you. I have a word for someone.

16
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And if God has brought me just to this service just for one person, then we hit the target. We hit the jackpot.

17
00:02:42,000 --> 00:03:01,000
You know, God has a word for someone, and I just want you to be very open and receptive to this word. I am going to talk to you today about the Holy Spirit and prayer, and specifically emphasize tongues, and the reason for speaking in tongues.

18
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And I have to be honest, I'm very passionate about this, because we had a, in the 80s there was a move of God, and I came from Ramah, and I came from a lot of heavy hitter people, and I was surrounded by people who understood the power of praying in tongues,

19
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,000
and we would have prayer meetings where tongues was the primary language that was spoken.

20
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And what I have seen as we have moved forward in church history, because we're still in church, we're still in the age of the church, what I've seen in this age of, in this time in church history is people have neglected their prayer language.

21
00:03:42,000 --> 00:04:00,000
And the reason people have neglected their prayer language is because they don't understand what they are saying, they don't understand the power of praying in tongues, their mind is too preoccupied with other thoughts, and they just neglect the gift of God that is on the inside of them.

22
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:14,000
And what I hear, the Holy Spirit saying is, I hear Him saying, I want my people to stir up the gift of God that is within them, and I am reviving tongues in my church.

23
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And so the way you get people to, into movement, and the way you get people to move into the revelation, and that which God wants to do, is you have to teach it, you have to preach it, you have to talk about it.

24
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And we've had different types of prayer in the body of Christ, in different ways people pray, but tongues is, and we're going to get into this, the perfect, most purest, perfect prayer that you can pray.

25
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Are you listening?

26
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Now, let me just start, I want to give you a few facts about the Holy Spirit.

27
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Jesus spoke often about the Holy Spirit and His coming. The New Testament, we have 6264 times, and 60 or more times that the Holy Spirit was spoken of, or more in the Gospel.

28
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:21,000
So Jesus talked a lot about the Holy Spirit, He talked a lot about His coming, there was great emphasis on the Holy Spirit, He said, listen, don't worry about it, the disciples were upset, you know, I'm leaving, I'm going, they were upset, they were confused.

29
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:36,000
He said, but listen, you're not going to be left as orphans, I'm going to send the Comforter, the Helper, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, he's going to live with you, he's going to abide with you, he's going to teach you, he's going to guide you, he's going to be everything that I've been to you,

30
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:49,000
but there's going to be more of you to get the job done, because I contain the Holy Spirit, but at the new birth, many sons and daughters are going to be born, and the works that I do, are you going to do also, and greater works than these, because there's more of you to get the job done.

31
00:05:49,000 --> 00:06:00,000
And when the Spirit of Truth is come, he will abide with you, he will lead you, he will guide you, he will empower you, so don't be dismayed, I am going to send the Comforter.

32
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,000
And the disciples didn't totally understand it, because the Spirit of Truth had not yet been given, that Spirit of Revelation.

33
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:19,000
But we see, just before Jesus ascended up into the heavens, he left another promise, and some of his last words were about the Holy Spirit.

34
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And you know the Scripture, but I'm going to quote it, Acts 1-8, said, Jesus said to the disciples, he said, listen, I'm going to tell you one more thing about the Holy Spirit that I don't think I've told you yet.

35
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:39,000
He said, you are, first of all, you're to wait for him, wait, don't do anything to you receive this Holy Spirit.

36
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:55,000
He said, you're to wait for him, he said, and you are going to receive power, after that the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and I'm going to turn you into witnesses that are literally going to turn this world upside down.

37
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Where you've been a coward, you're going to be bold, where you've betrayed me, you're going to be my primary ministry gift that is going to testify of me.

38
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000
And you're listening. So he said, listen, you are going to receive power when, when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.

39
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
You know the Scripture, I'm going to say it, and guess what, we're recording, we could use this on our YouTube channel.

40
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Listen, that word power means dunamis, it means creative, miracle working power, power, so powerful, capable of reproducing itself.

41
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
So when you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, you're going to receive power.

42
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:37,000
And the beauty of when he, when he said that is the Scripture says, and I love this, because we think the Bible is like some fantasy.

43
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:50,000
And no, it's not a fantasy. This stuff really happened. The woman with the issue of blood who suffered many things from many physicians and was really sick and was healed by Jesus of that infirmity, that really happened.

44
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:59,000
There was a certain woman that that happened to, she reached out, she touched the hem of Jesus' garment and she was healed of an infirmity that she had for so long.

45
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:12,000
So you see, read in the Bible after Jesus spoke those words, the Scripture says he ascended up and he went up into the clouds and they watched him go up and he was, he was, he went so high that you could no longer see him.

46
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000
He actually did that. That actually happened. Jesus left the earth and he went up, up into the presence of God.

47
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Are you listening? But I love the fact that that same Jesus that went up into heaven is the same Jesus that some days is going to come back to earth.

48
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,000
And we are going to be caught up together. We're going to meet the Lord in the air and we're going to, I don't know the whole thing about what happens after that.

49
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:40,000
You know, we're going to rule and reign with Jesus. So I'm very excited about that. But this is the point I'm trying to make.

50
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Oops, there's an anointing here this morning. Wow. This is the point I'm trying to make.

51
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Trying to make this point. Jesus talked a lot about the Holy Spirit. He said, wait for the Holy Spirit, wait for the promise.

52
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:00,000
And then we see in Acts chapter two, verse one through four at the birth of the church age, 120 people waiting on God for this powerful Mon high.

53
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000
And the Bible says the Holy Spirit came in like a rushing mighty wind.

54
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:16,000
You know what I love about the Holy Spirit? He is not a mere influence, force, cloud, fire. He is a person with a personality.

55
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And when he showed up, he showed up in style. He showed up because he wanted to demonstrate himself.

56
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000
He showed up like with a blast. And the Scripture says when the Holy Spirit came, he came in like a rushing mighty wind.

57
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:38,000
You know, the place was filled and the Bible says they appeared unto the disciples or the people up in the upper room.

58
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Cloven tongues like as a fire and it sat upon each one of them.

59
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000
I don't really believe that they had fire on top of their heads like we've seen in some of our churches growing up.

60
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I believe what they felt was they felt the power of God on top of their heads.

61
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Have you ever had the power of God on you so strong that you feel like something is pressing on you?

62
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
They felt that fire and I'm sure they felt the presence and the power.

63
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,000
I had a girl that lived with me. She lived, she was from Brazil and I had three kids in one year and I needed a lot of help.

64
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:16,000
So she came and lived with me for a while and I knew she was a Christian believer,

65
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
but I don't know that I didn't think she had the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

66
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
So I said to her one day, I said, Huffy, do you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues?

67
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And she says, oh yes, I want that. So I don't know why I did this,

68
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
but I took her in my mud room bathroom because we have a mud room bathroom and you'll see when you come to my house.

69
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:41,000
And I have this mud room, it's a bathroom next to the mud room that we never use.

70
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
You don't think you're going to use the mud room and everybody's going to put their shoes in there and their coats in there,

71
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
all their junk in there, no, that doesn't work.

72
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Now we just have a room which is ridiculous.

73
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
But anyway, so I said to her, let's go in, we went into the mud room bathroom

74
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,000
and I prayed over her in the bathroom and the Holy Spirit, she knew nothing.

75
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Normally I give a lot of scripture when I get people filled with the Holy Spirit.

76
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,000
I didn't really give her that much scripture, but when I prayed over her, the Spirit of God came on her

77
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
and she said, I feel like there's something on my head and I feel like I'm going to fall.

78
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
I had to sit her down on the toilet seat, put the seat down and sat her down.

79
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
She had the power of God come on her and then she began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave her out of it.

80
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
She didn't even know about Acts chapter 2 verse 1 and 2.

81
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Didn't even know that cloven tongues like as a fire sat upon them.

82
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And you know what the next thing that happened was?

83
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,000
The very next thing that happened was is they were all filled, every single one of them.

84
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Not anybody was left out because this gift is for every single one of us.

85
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
The Bible says these signs will follow them that believe.

86
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
They will speak with new tongues.

87
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:02,000
The Bible says they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they all began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave her.

88
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I'm telling you that just makes me so excited.

89
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Because the whole Lord said to me, if I talked about the Holy Ghost that much,

90
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,000
what was the very first manifestation that happened as a result of His coming?

91
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
They all began to speak with tongues.

92
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
So there has to be a reason for tongues.

93
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
There has to be a reason.

94
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Now I have a question for you.

95
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?

96
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Acts chapter 19, look it up.

97
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
We don't have time to look it up.

98
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
You do some homework.

99
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?

100
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,000
The disciples came to a group of believers and he said to them,

101
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?

102
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
They were believers.

103
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000
They were baptized, I think it says in the verse in John's baptism, the baptism of repentance.

104
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,000
And they said, we said, no, we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

105
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
And the Bible says, everybody say the Bible says,

106
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
let's stick with the Bible.

107
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
The Bible says that the disciples, I didn't look, I didn't totally read it,

108
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,000
but I believe they laid hands on them and the scripture says that they spoke with tongues

109
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
and immediately they prophesied.

110
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Nobody even had to teach them how to prophesy, pastor.

111
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
They just prophesied.

112
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
You understand?

113
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
But they were believers, but they were not yet filled with the Holy Spirit.

114
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
They had not yet spoken in tongues.

115
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
What's your point?

116
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
My point is this.

117
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from the new birth.

118
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,000
You could be saved because the Bible says that he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.

119
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
When you're saved, you're a new creation in Christ Jesus.

120
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
When you're saved, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

121
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
God lives in you.

122
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
He abides in you.

123
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
You are one with him.

124
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
He is in you.

125
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Are you listening?

126
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Through the new birth.

127
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
But the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from the new birth.

128
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
What did Jesus say?

129
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Jesus said in John 7.38, He said there's going to come a time,

130
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
and He's talking about the Holy Spirit,

131
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
where out of your innermost being is going to flow rivers of living water.

132
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
This spake he of the Holy Spirit.

133
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000
So the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from the new birth.

134
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,000
And when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit,

135
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
and you release that prayer language,

136
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
that is the river that is coming up out of you.

137
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
It's the rivers of life coming up out of you.

138
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Rivers of living water.

139
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
It's an overflow of what you already have on the inside of you.

140
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Our sister received her prayer language this weekend.

141
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Her whole countenance changed.

142
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,000
So it's an overflow of what you already have on the inside of you.

143
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
It's not only an overflow,

144
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
it's an empowerment for you to work miracles.

145
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
For you to operate in the gifts of the Spirit.

146
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
To you to live and move and have your being in signs and wonders,

147
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
and it not just be something that's extraordinary,

148
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
it's something that should be normal and ordinary.

149
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,000
So the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from the new birth.

150
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000
And I've talked to people, you know how it is when you are in leadership,

151
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
because we have many leaders here,

152
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
you talk to people and they go,

153
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
well, you know, I am saved, oh yeah, you're saved.

154
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
But if you want more power,

155
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
if you want power over sin and power in prayer,

156
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
power in victory,

157
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
and makes the Bible just come alive,

158
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
you get baptized in the Holy Spirit and just start speaking in tongues.

159
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
It'll revolutionize your walk with God,

160
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
honest with God.

161
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
I don't know how people do it without the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

162
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And we need to start preaching this again,

163
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
because we're living in a time in a season where everything is seeker friendly,

164
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
and we're not supposed to talk in tongues in church.

165
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
We can't talk in tongues.

166
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Don't talk in tongues in this church.

167
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
We have 5,000 people.

168
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
We don't want to turn anybody away.

169
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
We need the money to build this church,

170
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
because we want to build some more campuses.

171
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
No, no, no, no, no.

172
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
I'm not compromising.

173
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
If Jesus talked so much about the Holy Spirit,

174
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
and talked about tongues,

175
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
then we need it.

176
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
I understand that all things need to be done decently in an order,

177
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
because in the Corinthian church, people were getting out of hand.

178
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
And so Paul had to come in,

179
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
and he had to teach them and correct them.

180
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
But my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,

181
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
if he said that we needed the baptism of the Holy Spirit,

182
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
I want it.

183
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Okay, are you with me?

184
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,000
That was the introduction.

185
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Woo!

186
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Man.

187
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So, what is this prayer language?

188
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Number one, it is a supernatural means of communication.

189
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
It's a supernatural means of communication.

190
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
I have this book on my table.

191
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
It's called Seven Days with a Witch.

192
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
And some people are afraid to even pick it up.

193
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
My assistant won't pick it up.

194
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
My one daughter wouldn't touch it.

195
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
But a friend of mine, Don Allen, wrote the book.

196
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
And in the book, long story short,

197
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
he was in a position or able,

198
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000
or he was the one that got this woman to be born again and saved and set free.

199
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
She was not only born again, she was in the witch world,

200
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
in the dark side, she operated witchcraft,

201
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
all kinds of things.

202
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
There's so much about this.

203
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
That's why I like the book,

204
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
because I want to understand the way the enemy works and expose him.

205
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
And it helps me as a prayer warrior, as an intercessor,

206
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
and somebody who teaches prayer to understand these things of doctors,

207
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
that they really do go to the gates of the city and they really do put curses.

208
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,000
You just read the book.

209
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000
But anyway, in the book, and then she, after she got saved,

210
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
she was the very one that had to renounce the curse.

211
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:02,000
So anyway, one of the paragraphs in the book talks about when she said that as witches

212
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
and people from the demonic realm,

213
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
she said when Christians would start speaking in tongues,

214
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
it completely confused them.

215
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
They didn't understand what they were saying.

216
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
It confused them.

217
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
There was one thing they just couldn't figure out.

218
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
I was prophesying in one of my KIU events up in North, North Jersey,

219
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
and I learned something from the words that I prophesied,

220
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
just like I learned so much from this weekend, from all the things that came out.

221
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
You know, this anointing that we have received abides in us.

222
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
We need not that any man teach us,

223
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
but the anointing can teach us through the preacher and teach not only you,

224
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
but me, the preacher as well.

225
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
It's the most amazing, incredible thing, the person of the Holy Spirit.

226
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000
But in this prophecy, I must have prophesied, I don't know, about eight minutes,

227
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000
and one of the things the Holy Spirit set out of my spirit was that we have everything that we need

228
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
to be overcomers in this world.

229
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
We have the name of Jesus, we can worship because prayer steals the avenger,

230
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
we have the name of Jesus which has power and authority,

231
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
and then the Spirit said, and you have tongues.

232
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
And the Spirit said this, and I'll give you Scripture to prove it,

233
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
because everything should go back into Scripture, all prophecy.

234
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Are you listening?

235
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
It should always match the Bible, the Spirit and the Word, they agree.

236
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
The Spirit said through me, he said, because when you pray in tongues,

237
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
he says it comes up out of your spirit, and I thought this was amazing.

238
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
He said, and it demolishes the strategies of the enemy.

239
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Most incredible thing, Google it, it's Margie Fleuron, season of advancement, miracles and shakings.

240
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
It's in that word of prophecy.

241
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Can you imagine?

242
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:52,000
He said, the language of heaven, he said, comes up out of you and it demolishes the strategies of the enemy.

243
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000
And then we got Christians, you know, not wanting to pray in tongues.

244
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
We need to be taught.

245
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:05,000
So it is a supernatural language, it is the language of heaven, and you are speaking to God.

246
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000
1 Corinthians 14-2, you are not speaking to one another.

247
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
You're not taught, you know man understands you.

248
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000
You are speaking to God, he understands you.

249
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:28,000
The Scripture says, for he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but unto God, for no one understands him.

250
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000
How be it in the Spirit, he speaks mysteries.

251
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000
You speak plans, you speak purposes, you speak the will of God for your life.

252
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
You speak the will of God when you're an intercession for your children.

253
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
You speak the will of God for your nation.

254
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000
You're not praying your own will, it's your spirit by the Holy Spirit, praying the perfect prayer.

255
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
And that prayer is just like Revelation 5-8 goes up in the sense before the throne room of God.

256
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
God hears that kind of prayer, he answers that kind of prayer, and he understands that kind of prayer.

257
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
He said, my house will be called a house of prayer.

258
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:11,000
And I calling my people to pray out that prayer language, because I want to do some great and mighty things.

259
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:20,000
But it is the perfect prayer, and you're not praying your own will, you're praying exactly what needs to be prayed, and I understand you.

260
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Prayer opens up the door for God to work.

261
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
We have not because we ask not.

262
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:37,000
And when we pray in tongues, we're, listen, we're going beyond any kind of English language, or Portuguese, or Spanish, or whatever language you speak.

263
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:45,000
And it's a language that is so expansive it goes beyond anything we could ever utter in our own tongue.

264
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000
I am telling you, I am speaking by Revelation today.

265
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Are you listening?

266
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Thank you Jesus.

267
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
I remember when I got filled with the Holy Spirit.

268
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
How many of you remember those of you that already filled?

269
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000
It was the most incredible thing, I was already saved, I was born again, and so on and so forth.

270
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,000
I was a child of God, but something on the inside of me said there's more.

271
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Right?

272
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Remember that?

273
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Something on the inside of me said I know there's more, I want, and I got in a group of people like this, and I hung around with, and I heard people like singing in tongues, like Pastor Jamie was doing, and I thought, what is that?

274
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
I want that.

275
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Something on the inside, because the Spirit of Truth will guide you into truth.

276
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
He will testify of Jesus.

277
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
He will all, he'll never lead you into error.

278
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Something on the inside said that's truth.

279
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I want that.

280
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
I would felt right.

281
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:41,000
And so after the service was over, I asked my girlfriend and I, we went up to the leaders, and we said, what is that?

282
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,000
And they said, they explained it was tongues and so on and so forth.

283
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
I said, well we want that.

284
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:54,000
So they prayed over us, and my girlfriend, she immediately started speaking in tongues, very quietly.

285
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Now, it seems like I'm a very loud talkative person, but the truth is I'm really not.

286
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
I'm a very quiet and I'm an introverted person, but when I get in the anointing, it's different.

287
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
You know, God will turn you into another person.

288
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Are you listening?

289
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000
The Holy Spirit will change you and turn you into another person when he's anointed you to do something.

290
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
You just do things you just can't even believe you can do.

291
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
That's why we can't look at ourselves.

292
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000
The more we look at ourselves and our own ability, the more we become a crippled people.

293
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:29,000
When we look under Jesus and follow after him and do what he is calling us to do,

294
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
he turns us into another person.

295
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000
We receive power, anointing, boldness when the Holy Ghost has come upon us.

296
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
He turns us into another person.

297
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
It's the most incredible thing.

298
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
So I remember sitting there and I was in my little quiet self,

299
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000
and I remember feeling the power of God and the anointing and this feeling.

300
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Like it was a feeling of liquid love.

301
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
And I felt something bubble up.

302
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Some people feel things, some people don't.

303
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,000
It doesn't matter what you feel.

304
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
It's by faith you receive and you exercise your prayer language.

305
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:05,000
But in that moment, I did feel a little bubbling and there was something that was coming up

306
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,000
that I wanted to say to God that it was bigger than anything I could think of in the English language.

307
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
It was a big word.

308
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
I wanted it.

309
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
It was such a big word.

310
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I wanted to express myself to him in a big way.

311
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Something big.

312
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000
And because I didn't yield to the Holy Spirit in tongues at that time,

313
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
the last word I said was, oh God, I was trying to think of a big word

314
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
because everything was reason, reason, reason.

315
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000
I'm going to reason this out.

316
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,000
I'm going to reason it out.

317
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Reason, reason.

318
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
I was trying to reason what kind of word I wanted to say.

319
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
A big word.

320
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:46,000
And the last word I said was, oh God, I go, you're so outrageous.

321
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,000
That was a pretty big word in the human language.

322
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
But I knew that there was something even bigger than that that I wanted to say to him.

323
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
An utterance, a word, something.

324
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
And I didn't release my prayer language in that service with those people all around me

325
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
because I'm a shy person.

326
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,000
So when I got in my car, because I was determined, I'm going to have this prayer language.

327
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
If everybody else has it and it's for me, I'm going to have it.

328
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
You know, it's like the Nike shoes.

329
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
You know, they have that thing and their logo is just do it.

330
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
I was thinking, I'm just going to do it.

331
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I'm going to step out in faith and I'm going to release my prayer language.

332
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:28,000
And so I got in the car and I was by myself, I just went, what about shatandorabuhu?

333
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Irabah sototabahashenderebeheseyanda.

334
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
And the more I released my language, the more it just flowed.

335
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
My thought processes weren't involved.

336
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:43,000
I just realized that he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God.

337
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
God understands me.

338
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,000
I am a spirit.

339
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000
I have a soul.

340
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
I live in a body.

341
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
My spirit by the Holy Spirit within me is communicating with the God of the universe.

342
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And it's his language.

343
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
He understands me.

344
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
So it's a language.

345
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
You're not speaking to men.

346
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
You're speaking to God.

347
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Amplified says, for one who speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God.

348
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:12,000
For no one understands or catches his meaning because in the Holy Spirit he utters secret truths.

349
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And hidden things not obvious to the understanding.

350
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Number two, your heart is praying.

351
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Your heart's praying at your head.

352
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Verse 1414 says, for if I pray in a tongue, what is praying?

353
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,000
My spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

354
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:40,000
New Living Translation says, for if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying,

355
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
but I don't understand what I'm saying.

356
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
See, that's why a lot of people don't pray in tongues,

357
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
because they're like, well, I don't understand what I'm saying.

358
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
So what?

359
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Do you understand everything about your life?

360
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Do you understand everything about your destiny?

361
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Isn't your life, especially these young people, like a mystery to you in some regards?

362
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000
But do you know that when you, even at my age, you know, we're still trying to figure it out?

363
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I'm telling you.

364
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Some things about your life is still a mystery.

365
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
But when you pray in tongues, you're praying out of your spirit by the Holy Spirit.

366
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
You're praying out of destiny, Ecclesiastes 4.

367
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Destiny, eternity, your destiny is inside of you.

368
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:26,000
So when you begin to pray in tongues, you're praying that mystery out.

369
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Listen, you're praying the perfect will of God for your life.

370
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Are you listening to what I'm saying to you?

371
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Because you're praying out of destiny.

372
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000
You're praying what God had in his heart and had in his mind for you to be fulfilled.

373
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
He put destiny in your heart.

374
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000
He said, before I ever formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you.

375
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
I ordained you in Jeremiah's case to be a prophet.

376
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:59,000
So when we don't know what to do and we don't know how to pray, we can pray in tongues.

377
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Romans 8, 26 through 28 says that the Holy Spirit helps our infirmity,

378
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000
helps us in our inability to produce results.

379
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:19,000
When we pray in tongues, we are praying, listen to this, according to the will of God.

380
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000
And what does the Bible say in 1 John 5, 14?

381
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:33,000
And this is the confidence that we have in him that if we ask anything, according to what his will, we know he hears us.

382
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,000
And if we know he hears us, we know we have, we know, we know, we don't doubt.

383
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
We know that we have the petitions we desire of him.

384
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:48,000
When we speak in an unknown tongue, we're speaking out of our right standing in Jesus Christ, who we are in Christ.

385
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
I have two, three CDs on that one.

386
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Do you have that one yet, produced?

387
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Oh, see?

388
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,000
This is with you in mind, it's called, freedom from insecurity.

389
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Yeah, in Christ. In whom? In whom we have redemption. In this, in that, in that, in that, in that, in that.

390
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Mine's two and a half CDs.

391
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,000
I'm gonna tell you how you can tell what I'm talking about.

392
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000
But when you are praying in tongues, you're praying out of your right standing in Christ.

393
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
You're not praying in unbelief. You're not missing the mark.

394
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,000
You're praying in authority. There's no doubt. There's no worry. There's no confusion.

395
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
You're praying the perfect will of God for your life.

396
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,000
And then all things begin to work together for your good. Let me tell you a story.

397
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,000
And I'll be closing in about five, ten minutes. Is that okay? About twenty-five after?

398
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
This is my story, one of my stories, and many stories.

399
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,000
But when I got born again, got filled with the Holy Spirit, it's six months later, not even.

400
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,000
I found out, I went to Ramabibal Training. Now it's college, but center back then.

401
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:54,000
There's 337 of us students. And when I graduated, I didn't know what to do.

402
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Everyone say I didn't know what to do. Do you know what I tell my kids, my young, then the young people,

403
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,000
praying tongues, praying the Holy Ghost, especially these young people in high school

404
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
and they're trying to figure out what they're gonna be in life?

405
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Well, you praying tongues, you're praying exactly what you're supposed to be in life.

406
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000
You know, there's a lot of pressure in our, I can't even, you know, you got those of you that have millennials,

407
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000
there's a lot of pressure on them. Let me tell you, a lot of pressure.

408
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,000
My husband was like, I don't think there's any more pressure on them than there was on us.

409
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,000
I said, no, I disagree with you. Because I mentor all these young people.

410
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,000
I say it's a different level of pressure and a different level of performance

411
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000
and it's a different level of competition. You're listening.

412
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:44,000
And so that's why I tell my these young people, praying tongues, you know, because I'll tell you, there's so much pressure on them.

413
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
You know, you got the college people going, we gotta make money, you gotta make money, you gotta make money, you gotta make money.

414
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,000
You know, what are you gonna be in life? What are you gonna do in life? We gotta pick a career because if you don't pick a career,

415
00:30:52,000 --> 00:31:00,000
if you don't pick a, what's it called, you know, a major, then you know, you're gonna be behind, you gotta pick a career.

416
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:06,000
There's just so much pressure. Listen, us, we had wiggle room, didn't we?

417
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Like, we didn't, we didn't like, oh, I have to go to college right away and figure out what we were gonna be.

418
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
We had wiggle room. We just kind of figured it out as we went.

419
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:22,000
And we, you know, I don't want to say we fell into our destiny, but the steps of a good man are ordered and established by God.

420
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Not giant leaps. We're throwing these kids into these colleges and we're going, now leap.

421
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
And the suicide rate is off the charts.

422
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,000
I mean, anyway, that's not the story. The point, and I'm gonna say it again, these young people need to be praying in tongues for their lives.

423
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
I told my kids, guys, pray in tongues. Pray in the Holy Ghost.

424
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Then I'll, I'll remind them, are you praying in tongues?

425
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Okay, mom. I said, I know you don't understand, but trust me on this one.

426
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Pray in the Holy Ghost.

427
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:56,000
You know, you know, Danielle's really flowing in her river of destiny. It's just incredible.

428
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000
She prayed a lot in tongues. You know what she would do? She would get on the treadmill

429
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
and she would pray in tongues the whole time.

430
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
She'd know what she was praying. She was praying out her destiny.

431
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
And you know what happened? All things began to work together for the good.

432
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:19,000
She met this young man. She thought it was gonna be something else, but it ended up, he was the young man that led her to this amazing Bible school that's in this church.

433
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
You know, God will cause things to work together for your good.

434
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,000
He will bring people into your lives, help into your lives, friendships into your lives, husbands, wives, whatever.

435
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,000
It'll cause things to, to come into alignment when you pray in tongues.

436
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
You know what happens to me when I pray in tongues a lot?

437
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Once I start after about five minutes and I'm in my office, I start lining things up.

438
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,000
And then I turn it like this and I turn it like that.

439
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
One day I said to myself, why are you lining things up?

440
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000
And in my heart, I felt like when you're praying in tongues, you're lining things up in the spirit.

441
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,000
What's happening on the inside is manifesting on the outside.

442
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:03,000
It's causing things to work together, making the crooked way straight, the rough places plain.

443
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
So when I was 19 years old and I was getting ready at 20 I think at the time,

444
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000
we're getting ready to graduate from RAIMA because I went back a second year,

445
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
I didn't know what to do. You didn't know what to do.

446
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000
What do you do when you don't know what to do? You pray. How do you pray? Tongues.

447
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000
So I just started praying in tongues. I'd walk the floors, I'd pray in tongues.

448
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Father, go before me and prepare the way.

449
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
It makes the crooked way straight, the rough places plain. Then I don't know what else to pray.

450
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
How much can you possibly pray? We could play scripture.

451
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Thank you, Lord, the steps of good manner order. You could quote scripture.

452
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,000
But after you quoted all the scripture you know from Jamie's tapes, then what do you do?

453
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:44,000
You pray your prayer language. It goes beyond anything you could say.

454
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,000
And it goes into the realm of the spirit and it's a deep kind of prayer, a high kind of prayer, a wide kind of prayer.

455
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,000
And I just start praying in tongues. I pray in tongues a lot.

456
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Whenever you're entering into a new season you need to start praying extra hard in tongues.

457
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Extra more in tongues, not hard. Because when you could whisper tongues, talk loud in tongues.

458
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:08,000
You know, the only time it's really hard to pray in tongues is when you're brushing your teeth.

459
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Never try it? I can even lay in bed and go in a sense praying tongues a bit.

460
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,000
You know, you can...

461
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:29,000
You know. So I walk before, I pray in tongues a lot. I'm sensing you're coming into a new season.

462
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
So here we go again, saying again. It's coming up, I gotta say.

463
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000
You're coming into a new season and this is a season for you to lay it, take some time and pray in tongues.

464
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Now the beauty of praying in tongues is this. You could pray in tongues in your car.

465
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,000
You know, it doesn't have to be the secret place like we talked about in our women's routine.

466
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
You could pray in tongues when you're vacuuming the floor.

467
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Elevece, cedaraba, sattara, I don't like vacuuming the floor but I'm doing it anyway.

468
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Olabah, sattara, boho, sattara, bah.

469
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000
It doesn't have to be like this intense kind of in the closet focusing in on Jesus.

470
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
No, you're just praying in tongues.

471
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
So I pray in tongues a lot. I mean a lot.

472
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:12,000
And then when God sent me to the East Coast, doors just began to open.

473
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,000
I started out with women's aglow, you know, the steps of a good man.

474
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,000
I started out with women's aglow and then somebody would hear about me.

475
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Then they'd invite me to their church.

476
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Then one church led to another church and all these doors just began to open.

477
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Just amazing. And I told you, you know this, I was a first woman in multiple churches on the East Coast,

478
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
especially the assembly of God churches. It was incredible.

479
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:43,000
And here all the time, you know, the pastor would be, you know, you're the first woman I've ever had in my pulpit.

480
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:48,000
I'd go, really? And I'd get up there, I don't know how I did it back in the day,

481
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:53,000
with a little piece of paper, four scriptures and nails that were so long, it was ridiculous.

482
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:01,000
It had to be God. It had to be God.

483
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Yes, he does. It had to be God. So incredible. God is so incredible.

484
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,000
And then one day I just said, God, why is it that all these doors are opening?

485
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,000
He said, you remember all those months you spent with me praying in tongues, praying in tongues?

486
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:25,000
I says, yes. He says, all that prayer and prepared the way for what you're doing now.

487
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Body of Christ, we've gotten behind in our praying in tongues. God is reviving our prayer language.

488
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,000
I want to read one more scripture. Obviously we didn't get to everything.

489
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
But I want to show you something that I learned when I was preparing for this.

490
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,000
You're praying the wisdom of God. We're not going to go there and read it, but I'll quote it.

491
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:51,000
We're praying the wisdom of God. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2, 7 through 14,

492
00:36:51,000 --> 00:37:00,000
that when we speak, the scripture says, we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery.

493
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:08,000
When you're praying in tongues, you're speaking the wisdom of God, Sophia.

494
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Are you ready for this? Doesn't James say in 1-5, if you ever need wisdom, let him ask of God?

495
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,000
How many of you need wisdom? That word again is Sophia.

496
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:27,000
The word wisdom is God's clarity, or God revealed clarity, conveys the Lord's solution.

497
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:33,000
You ready for problem solving? I don't know what to do about this.

498
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:39,000
I don't know what to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

499
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000
I don't know what to do about this problem. I don't know what to do. You've got to be kidding me.

500
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
I don't even know where to go. What do I do?

501
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Well, you have a prayer language, and when you're praying in tongues, you're praying God's solution.

502
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Then how does the answer come? It'll come to you through people.

503
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,000
It'll come to you through somebody coming across your path that you just met.

504
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
It'll come through thoughts in your mind.

505
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:11,000
He causes your thoughts to become agreeable with his thoughts, because you're smart people. You know you're smart.

506
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:23,000
In other words, Sophia manifests God's persuasion about problem solving problems or challenges by applying his solutions.

507
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Like faith, wisdom is always given by the Lord and reveals how to please him in a particular situation.

508
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,000
In short, this is the real clarity.

509
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Ultimately, all true spiritual wisdom resides in Christ, the personification of perfect wisdom.

510
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,000
1 Corinthians 1.30.

511
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,000
You're praying the wisdom of God for your life, for your kids, for whatever it is you're praying about.

512
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Lastly, when you're praying tongues, the Bible says 1 Corinthians, I just closed my notes on all the exact reference,

513
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,000
and I'm going to look at my notes.

514
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,000
You're edifying yourself.

515
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,000
What's that reference?

516
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Let me look at my notes.

517
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:25,000
You're edifying yourself.

518
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000
You're edifying. Everybody say edifying.

519
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,000
In verse 144, he who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.

520
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000
That word edify is more like charge.

521
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000
It's used in connection. The Greek word is with charging a battery.

522
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Therefore, we could paraphrase this verse.

523
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,000
He that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies, charges, builds himself up like a battery.

524
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Everybody knows that the iPhone battery is horrible.

525
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000
The rumor on the street is that they do this on purpose.

526
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
I've got a ton of text messages. Can you see them?

527
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:12,000
The rumor on the street is the reason that the battery life on these iPhones goes out is so all of us can buy a new one and spend money.

528
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
I don't know if that's true or not, but I will say this.

529
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I am perpetually charging this phone.

530
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
You know the secret of charging your phone?

531
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
You don't leave it plugged in all night, all the time. That really burns the battery up.

532
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Yeah, that's kind of a secret I learned.

533
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Yeah, that burns the battery up.

534
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Now, what do you do when your iPhone or I used to have a blackberry more recently?

535
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,000
I just recently got rid of it.

536
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,000
What do you do when your phone or whatever kind of phone you have,

537
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000
what do you do when it starts to get down to like one bar?

538
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:50,000
You get out your charger and you plug it into the life source, the outlet.

539
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:58,000
When you speak in an unknown tongue, you are plugging yourself into the life source, God the Father,

540
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:07,000
the one who is true wisdom, the one who never grows weary and never fades,

541
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000
the one who watches over his word to perform it, the one who never slumbers or sleeps.

542
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:20,000
You are plugging into the life force and you are charging your inner man up.

543
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,000
And you go from one bar to two bars to three bars to four bars.

544
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
I've had multiple times where I was tired spiritually. Have you ever been tired spiritually?

545
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:35,000
You know, you just bored, tired, annoyed. Where is God? Why is God being so quiet?

546
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,000
You know, and I refuse to be moved by any of that stuff, any of it.

547
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:45,000
If you want to walk in maturity, you can't be moved by your senses, moved by reason.

548
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
You've got to be moved by your heart, the word of God.

549
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
And so when I get like that, I just go, can't I just start walking the floor?

550
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Because you know, if you're tired, you lay down on the floor, you sit on a chair, you're going to go to sleep.

551
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Next thing you know, the spirit is willing, but your flesh is weak.

552
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:08,000
So what I do is, because I refuse to be defeated, I just start walking the floor, start praying in tongues.

553
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,000
After about 10, 15 minutes of that, I'm telling you, I get sense, I'm getting charged up.

554
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,000
My spirit is being charged up. Try praying in tongues for an hour.

555
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Praying in tongues sometimes, challenge yourself.

556
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Praying in tongues for two straight hours and see what happens.

557
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Really? I'm calling, I'm calling, God, I was going to say, I am calling the church to be stretched.

558
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,000
I was just going to come right out of my mouth. I believe God is stretching the church.

559
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,000
He wants us to start stretching ourselves.

560
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:43,000
You edify yourself. So, yeah, you know, I just heard my spirit, because I have to quit.

561
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,000
You know, the anointing just keeps going because you guys keep pulling.

562
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Do you know the anointing has a lot to do with who's in the congregation?

563
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000
You know what the apostle Paul said?

564
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,000
But you know, the Holy Spirit is a perfect gentleman. We have to close.

565
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
You know what the apostle Paul said? Why don't we stand?

566
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:04,000
The apostle Paul said, I thank my God. I speak in tongues.

567
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000
He said, he wasn't bragging either.

568
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Now that I think of it, I thank my God. He said, I speak in tongues more than you all.

569
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000
So he was like letting them know, listen, I do this a lot.

570
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000
And he wrote two thirds of the New Testament.

571
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,000
He had so much wisdom, so much revelation, so much insight.

572
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:39,000
As a matter of fact, we're not doing it for this purpose, but you know, I wonder if praying in the spirit opens up the door for more of the manifestation of the gifts of the spirit to operate.

573
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:48,000
I'm wondering, but I also am thinking, Kenneth E. Hagen said, and he to me was my father in the faith.

574
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:59,000
He said, I found that the more I pray in tongues, the more I become susceptible for the gifts of the spirit to come into operation.

575
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:05,000
That's what God is saying to us this weekend. We need to stir up the gift of God.

576
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:11,000
So this is what I'm going to do. I don't know if I should have an altar call or just have you all get filled in your seats.

577
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Why don't we just get you all filled in your seats?

578
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Are you good with that? You think that's good?

579
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,000
You're more than I am with managing.

580
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Then let's come on up.

581
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:31,000
If you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit and you want the evidence of speaking with tongues, please music.

582
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
I'm asking you to come up.

583
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000
See, we got one gentleman who's honest.

584
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:43,000
You see, I would never have a message like this and have this much power in anointing if there weren't several people in here.

585
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:48,000
I could actually tell you who you are.

586
00:44:48,000 --> 00:45:13,000
I'm going to wait.

587
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,000
You know the Holy Spirit just said to me, this is really good. So encouraging.

588
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:24,000
He said there's going to be an awakening of tongues in my church.

589
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:42,000
And as my church enters in and begins to exercise their prayer language, it's going to cause an acceleration of this move of God, this awakening that God is igniting in the land.

590
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:49,000
And I've called you to go forth and I've called you to preach this word.

591
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:59,000
For many of my people desire me and desire to flow in this river, but they just don't know how and they don't know what it's for.

592
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:04,000
And they are perishing for a lack of knowledge.

593
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Praise you, Jesus. There's some more people. God bless you.

594
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:20,000
I'm going to wait another 30 seconds.

595
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Okay.

596
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:29,000
So have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? Have you ever accepted Jesus as your Lord in your heart?

597
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Okay, so you're born again.

598
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Okay, so these are all believers.

599
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:40,000
There may be some in here because there's more people that need to be filled that you may not be a believer.

600
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:48,000
But what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and we're going to pray the prayer of salvation and for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

601
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:57,000
And if you're in here and you desire to release your prayer language and you didn't come up because you were a little more apprehensive, that's fine.

602
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,000
You could receive right in your seat.

603
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,000
There's no time, no distance in the spirit. God will meet you right at your seat.

604
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Okay, so when I pray for you, what's going to happen is you're going to, like I said in this session, you're going to want to say something to God you've never said before.

605
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
It's not going to be English.

606
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:25,000
I know it's very weird, but once you step out and once you do it, you'll see. You could just do it under your breath.

607
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:33,000
The Bible says when a person speaks in an unknown tongue, he's the one that does the speaking.

608
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:39,000
The Holy Spirit's not going to come on you and make you say or do something you don't want to do. You have to yield to him.

609
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:48,000
Just like I had to yield to the Holy Spirit when I was filled. I didn't yield to him in the beginning, but then when I got my car, I just released my language.

610
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:58,000
You see, you form the words in a sense you make up the language because it's you, but it's by the spirit. You're not on your own.

611
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:05,000
So sometimes people go, well, my mouth isn't moving. No, you have to move your mouth. Right?

612
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:14,000
The Holy Spirit's a perfect gentleman. He's not going to go take, grab your mouth like your grandmother did, your Italian grandmother, and move your mouth.

613
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:24,000
You have to do the speaking. So let's all pray this together. Let's, let's pray. Let's lift one hand up to heaven. Let's say this together.

614
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Heavenly Father, I come to you today in the name of Jesus, your Son, who gave Himself for me.

615
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Thank you for bringing me here today. I believe with all of my heart in Jesus, that God, you crucified him and you raised him from the dead and that he is alive forevermore.

616
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:17,000
I believe in my heart and I say with my mouth that Jesus Christ is my Lord. Now I'm asking you Jesus, for this second experience, I am asking you to baptize me with the Holy Spirit.

617
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Holy Spirit, come upon me. Holy Spirit, rise up inside me and I will, I will begin to speak with other tongues as you give me utterance.

618
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Now speak.

619
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:53,000
