Gift of Different Tongues

His Words in my Mouth

In this message I covered the topic of tongues. I know it took a little longer It's a big topic.  I hope that this helps us, to put to ease those that question tongues, and answers why we may feel as though we have something but yet it doesn't do anything.

It is often imitated but it's never duplicated. 

I remind us this is a gift from God and it demonstrates our connection with the spirit of God. It allows us to talk to him when our words fall short and are full of doubt. 

It allows a place for God to speak into a situation. It's important but it must be real. 

Just as God's words are creative and powerful when we surrender and pray by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit then our words become powerful as well and it begins our communication with the Father It sets us up to speak his words and then to speak his words in our language so that people might hear the wonderful works of God. 

There's a famine of hearing the word and when we speak with a new tongue it breaks the silence of hearing God's words 

I compared this gift to the bit that connects the power from the drill to the fastener that is being installed. Without the bit you can't connect the power You can't turn the screw. 

And just like without the power the bit doesn't really do anything. It can be held in our hand and when we or I try to do it without the power of God it can turn no heart it can change no life. 

But it is strong and when we connect it to the real power of God it can and will change lives. 

I believe this perspective reset ensures that we have a real pure powerful connection to the spirit of God.   Our complete surrender to him sets us up for the rest of the gifts. 

Can you look back in your own life and see the difference of moments when tongues were inspired by God and when it was inspired by our human spirit?

Can you more clearly and accurately see how to use this gift?

Where was the biggest perspective change about tongues and a gift of tongues that you heard?

What part of the word came alive to you?
