Today I want to talk to you about the power of speaking in tongues. Now I grew up in a church where none of that was happening. As a matter of fact, I thought it was pretty weird when I finally joined a church that taught me out of the word with tongues, came from the importance of it, et cetera, et cetera. I remember even going to a conference where the preacher said, “Now everyone speak in tongues.” And I thought, “Oh my gosh, we’re praying in tongues in a public place.” Because I was told that that was a cult. You know, our church was being ridiculed for that. And I just realized out of the word, this is such a powerful weapon that the enemy has tried to hide from the church because when we pray in tongues, he does not understand what we are saying, and we are bypassing the brain, which is basically most of the time, human limitation.

And we get to pray in the perfect will and word of the Lord. I remember even walking around at a waterfront one time and suddenly tongues just came over me and I was praying in tongues. I was like, “Okay.”  And as I came around the corner, I realized there was a massive New Age fair. And I go, I would not have been able to think that out, but God knows when He needs to align you to have you pray a certain way. And sometimes we might ask too small, we might think too small. In the book of Acts, Acts 2, Jesus had everyone waiting in the upper room and He said, “Don’t leave until you’ve received my Holy Spirit.” And it says that as they were waiting, what sounded like a mighty rushing wind came into that place. And suddenly what looked like tongues of fire came and landed on each one of them and they received tongues.

And so I want to encourage you, because 3000 people got saved just from that encounter. As strange as it might seem, I want to tell you, there’s nothing as amazing as praying in the Spirit of God, knowing that the King of the universe, the Spirit is praying through your mouth, the perfect will and alignment of God. You’ve got blessing and cursing coming out of your mouth. And God is so big, He bypasses our brain. And so right now, if you’ve not yet received your spiritual tongue, I want to pray this over. You just receive this right now, as we release the baptism of the Spirit. Father, right now in Jesus’ Name, I pray for the fire of heaven. That same Spirit that came in the book of Acts to come upon every listener right now. I thank you, Jesus. We loose the tongues. We will release that baptism from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. And some of you are going to feel heat. Some of you are going to start thinking, “Whoa, something’s happening.” But I wanna encourage you just start praying, let it bubble up inside of you, and I right now in the Spirit, I just lay hands on you. And I say, receive, in Jesus’ Name. And keep praying in tongues. You’re changing the world.
