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?

Even though I haven’t experienced speaking in tongues in the spiritual area I believe I have spoken in the physical area. Meaning I knew how to speak “farmer”, “friend”, and “therapist”. Etc tongues. I look back on some of the conversations and there are some that I know the spirit of God was in on it. Because there were things that I shouldn’t have known, and there are some that He wasn’t. It was all head knowledge and observations I took in.

-surrender my mind to Him
Thank you Pastor Aaron, absolutely loving the way you are helping us "open" these gifts ❤️
My Honest Thoughts From This Week
The reason that it has taken me longer to post on the blog this week is because I think this message has made me finally reach the end of myself. God has blessed me with great problem solving abilities and I like to think that everything is "figureoutable" but these gifts have really stretched me to a point where I feel like I don't know anything haha.
As most of you know, I am a very analytical person and I love to dig into things to find a solution. I use that technique in a lot of what I do, however, I am finally coming to the realization that I quite literally can not…

Absolutely! Aliviah asked me to describe how you know when tongues are inspired by God. I described it as a hunger or a fire that starts in your gut and moves up into your chest and then just pours out of your mouth. When it's not inspired it's like your mouth is disconnected from your entire body and you can just make noise without even being present in the moment.
Can you more clearly and accurately see how to use this gift?
Yes! The first "speak"...we need to know how to…
Can you look back in your own life and see the difference of moments when tongue's we're inspired by God and when it was inspired by our human spirit?
Yes and No is my answer.
I have witnessed first hand when I was at the altar and before having hands put on me they sometimes have a moment with the father and the talk in the spirit with God then they start to speak with me sometimes they are still in the gift of the spirit and they are talking in tongues and sometimes they go back to their English tongues. But all I know when I have seen people flowing in the spirit and talking in tongues it is…
