MYSTERIES OF TONGUES

THE MYSTERIES OF TONQUES

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. Mark 16:17

One of the ways Christ said we shall identify those who believes in Him is that they’ll speak with new tongues. New tongues not an existing tongues or one of the tongues of men but entirely new to man and it would sound like babbling to the carnal mind.

Acts 2:4 made us understand how this new tongue will be imparted; by the infilling and baptism of the Holy-Ghost. When we become baptized in the Hoy Ghost, we receive utterances to speak in this new tongue Christ told us about.

THE NEW TONGUE IS MYSTERIOUS BECAUSE

1.       And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.   Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.  And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?  Acts 2:4-7 The disciples received utterances and were speaking in tongues but the devout men out of every nation under heaven heard them as if the disciples were speaking their language. They confessed ‘And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Vs 8‘ Though the disciples were speaking in the language of the spirit, every nation of the world were hearing as if the disciples were speaking their language. Though they were about 40 who received the baptism of the spirit, but the entire language under heaven which is more than 40 heard them in their language. When you pray in tongues, God can grant any man irrespective of his language background understanding it. After that Jerusalem experience, a Parthian would say the disciples were all speaking Parthian, a Medes would say the disciples were all speaking Medes, and a Libyan would say the disciples were all speaking Libya etc. that was the mystery of the tongues.

2.       A WORD SPOKEN IN TONGUES IN A FULL STATEMENT: And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.  Daniel 5:25 VS27 Says TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.  A single word in the spirit is a full and complete sentence with meaning when the interpretation is granted you.

3.       A WORD REPEATED IN TONGUES DOENST MEAN SAME THING: while repeating a word is saying the same thing in human language, it’s not so in the language of the spirit. Vs26 MENE was repeated twice and in the first instance it means; ‘God hath numbered thy kingdom’ and in the second instance it means, ‘and finished it’ therefore when you repeat same diction while praying in the Holy Ghost, you aren’t saying same thing, God who gave you utterance knows what you are speaking.

Desire to speak in new tongues; it’s one of the signs that follow those who believe in Christ Jesus.

God bless you
