That is a miracle! Thank you for sharing.

WOW! That was literally so encouraging!! Because I’m 16 years old now and I got saved when I was 15 years old and hearing stories about youth my age experiencing The Power Of God that way really encouraged me in my Spirit, because The LORD knows that I want those gifts and it’s as simple as Believing and Receiving :)) And so hearing that, The LORD increased my Faith that I can receive those things and Do even Greater Works than He when He was on the Earth!! Praise Be To The King!! ✨😌🔥🙌🏽

@@user-yt9qe5mx2f amen! Don't get discouraged if it happens differently or in a different time than you expect. God sees a whole big picture we can't see. Get so on fire for him in spite of everything this culture is doing and saying against God. Be a voice for him on your generation!

👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽🕊

this is a beautiful testimony. thank you from the bottom of my HEART for sharing. its amazing seeing the light of the Lord even through comments🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽!

Look at my channel Tongues prayer with interpretation, Germany Free Church Life Source

Don't know German.....

under the settings you can choose english as subtitles. The gift is rare even in Germany all glory to the Lord and his wonderful spirit

@@prophetics 👍 Ohh,Here in India also its rare.....

In our church God speaks gives the interpretation to the same person who spoke in tongues,, they speak in tongues while interpreting

GOD will surely anoint you And filled with his HOLY SPIRIT In JESUS name - Amen

Yes this is how I have experienced it as well.

What are the spiritual gifts for?

We have an elaborate teaching. Corinthians 14. Desire the greater gift, the gift of prophecy. No tongue, no interpretation required.

Lol maybe they should start with actually teaching stuff from the Bible instead of just constantly preaching extra biblical teachings

@@tomtemple69 its biblical.Paul speaks about this in cornithians of praying in tongues then people needing gift of interpretation.

Isaiah salvidar did a live yesterday where he teaches about Holy Spirit and then prays for people to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking un tongues. Many people spoke in tongues for the first time.

Amen

Okay but why not just pray for the gift of prophecy instead? That is what Paul advises.

Lol why the hate towards this gift of tongues? Saw u replying the same under other comments🤣😂​@@JC-li8kk

@@sugarfly456 prophecy is the greater gift. If you already have the gift of prophecy then yea pray for interpretation of tongues. But Paul said to desire the greater gifts. The real question is why are so many obsessed with speaking in tongues instead of prophecy.

When I was 16, i received tongues without ever even reading about or hearing it, when I was pleasing with God to help me know how to pray for a specific situation. That night changed my life. About 6 months later, I felt I needed to stand up in my (very conservative) youth group (where they'd never even so much as talked about tongues!!). I was scared and shaking and telling God "no." Then my pastor got up and said, to my SHOCK (if u knew this church you'd be shocked too!) "If anyone has something they feel God laid on their heart to share, a verse, a tongue, an exhortation, etc, please come up now to share it." So that gave me confirmation this was really God! I stood and spoke in a tongue and kids who normally seemed stone cold towards God began to cry and hot their knees. I went and sat and we waited for the interpretation. My close friend and prayer partner who I'd already seen interpret a few times before when it was just the two of us, whispered to me that she heard it but wanted to wait to confirm she was really interpretting. Someone gave an interpretation and you could sense it wasn't right. My pastor asked if anyone else had an interpretation. Someone shared. It was a declaration of praise, speaking of how God was and is and will be forever and some other things like that. My pastor said his spirit bore witness to that interpretation and my friend leaned to me and said, thats word for word what I heard. There were some kids who gave their lives to Jesus or gave their lives more fully to him that night. Could you say that was "general?" Sure, but it was something meant for a full room of people, so a specific instruction or something wouldn't make sense. It was intended to encourage faith in a whole room of young believers who had never seen God move in that way before. And it did just that! And I think even more than the specific tongues and interpretation, it was his overwhelming presence in the room and his love, coupled with that very small display of his power at work in his body. On a different note, why do u think the cadence and length of a message in a supernatural language has to match the one given in English? Who are you to determine how a supernatural language functions? How can we be so quick to conclude it must match our own understanding? Oh how I pray this generation encounters God for who he really is!

@@living_m2414 You may not have ever seen glossolalia being practiced or have heard what it sounds like, but if a pastor is asking if anyone has a “tongue” to share, the concept of tongues certainly wasn’t anything new to anyone there. Again, ‘interpretation’ is very subject - your friend already had an interpretation in mind. Why didn’t the first one given “seem right” - who determined that? When something was given that matched her interpretation - that was her confirmation. Very generic, non-specific praise phrases. Why wouldn’t a specific instruction make sense? A room full of people would be irrelevant if God intended the ‘message’ to be heard by a specific individual there. Do you see what I mean by subjective? Again, I’m not doubting the ‘tongues experience’ - glossolalia is a very powerful tool for those cultures and beliefs that practice it. To your question - interpretations are typically inordinately longer than the actual glossic string. There _are_ languages in the world (one of which is right in my own backyard, so to speak) where one word will translate as several in English (e.g. “hunting from a crouched position” as opposed to “hunting from a standing position” - either way, both would normally just be translated as “hunting”); but, to have one glossic string “translate” into multiple paragraphs borders on the idea of wishful thinking - language does not work like that, supernatural or otherwise. Further, as you clearly demonstrated above, any glossic string is subject to multiple interpretations. In addition, modern tongues-speech is not language - What makes modern tongues not language? The simple answer is relatively straightforward. If a person or being produces a stream of speech, in order for it to be ‘language’, regardless of whether spoken in front of you, in some remote corner of the world, on some alien planet, or on some heavenly/spiritual/supernatural plain of existence, to be 'language', at its most basic level, it must contain at a minimal two features. These two features are *universal,* _regardless_ of where or _by whom_ the speech is being produced. Tongues-speech contains neither one of them. It is simply a facade of language. Neither, by the way, is modern tongues/glossolalia gibberish. Gibberish does not seek to mimic language. Glossolalia does. The ‘nail in the coffin’ so to speak, is that fact that every single phonological rule (rules that govern the sounds of language and how they are put together) that governs a speaker’s native language, will also govern their tongues-speech. There just isn’t anything that remotely suggests some divine ‘language’. I’m very familiar with the study you mention done by the Univ. of PA using SPECT imaging. The results are exactly what one would expect. The reason why the language producing centers of the brain are not overly active in the production of glossolalia (tongues-speech ) is because it is not language; it’s non-cognitive non-language utterance - random free vocalization. As such, these centers in the brain do not need to be overly active - there’s no language being produced. These results have been twisted by certain groups to “evidence” that tongues-speech is the Holy Spirit speaking through the person. Actually, what it evidences is just the opposite - that what’s being produced is not language. Again, to be clear - I’m not at all doubting your experience - but the ‘tongues’ themselves are entirely self-created. Record yourself, or have someone record you, speaking for about a minute r so. Then listen to it. Really listen to it, play it back several times, even slow down the playback speed - but _really_ listen to what it is you’re actually producing. I think you’ll discover that it will match the description of tongues-speech in my original post.

@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 you're right that the idea of tongues was not foreign to my pastor. It's in the scriptures, which he'd read but I hadn't yet before I received tongues. I had been at the church on and off about 2 years and my receiving the gift of tongues happened in my car with Jesus! So while this pastor believed in tongues as laid out in scripture it was still considered taboo to bring up in church and it had never been discussed or demonstrated before. This is a very conservative church where raising your hands in worship is you know, "charismania" or something! Almost dead in religion but the youth pastor at the time was obedient to the Holy Spirit when he got direction that night to invite a message in tongues, little did he know God had already told me to give one but I was scared and thought maybe I was making up that direction until my pastor asked for it. He took heat from the main head pastor etc because this sort of thing did NOT happen there! But again I'm not the only one with a story like this. Several dear friends I met later on college had experiences where they didn't even know about tongues but received it when privately singing songs of worship etc. You can choose to just dismiss that amd I'm sure you will but it's really sad. Wouldn't it be better to just look at it and go, "huh, there are people who prayed in tongues without anyone putting the idea in their head. How does that fit into my theory that this is all some big mind trick?" Like just allow yourself to look at it without dismissing it rather than having a conclusion already that doesn't allow you to see the evidence. Sure, God could give a specific message and interpretation in a group setting like that, but it comes down to what his purpose is in communicating via a tongue like that. I don't have any need to defend God. He uses what he wants how he wants when he wants and that night, he chose to edify the group with a praise given through a supernatural tongue and interpreted. I've also heard a testimony of someone speaking in a tongue in a small group and it came out in fluent French even though the woman did not know French and the hearer was a woman who wasn't a believer but became a believer after visiting that night and hearing something spoken about a God in her own language from someone she knew didnt speak french. So whatever that message was, it may have appeared general if you look at the words themselves but God used it to specifically reach that woman. In terms of "how you could tell the first interpretation was wrong," I don't remember the details of what was spoken. But either it wasn't biblical (God's revealed word which trumps any supposed revelation if it is out of sync), but I don't remember that being the case, or it my spirit (and the pastor's) simply didn't bear witness. It's called discernment which every believer has a measure of, but which can also be a spiritual gift. You wrote a curious line: that paragraphs being translated into a sentence is not how any language, "natural or supernatural." I found thar funny because your whole argument is that there is not a supernatural language or at least, that if there is we haven't seen it (your argument is that glosolalia are not supernatural tongues but you can surmise from this that you're saying humans avent heard a true super naturalanguage and therefore can't know what a supernatural tongue sounds like or how irs structures work). I mean really, how do you KNOW how supernatural languages work if your whole argument is that we haven't experienced any supernatural tongues in action? One could say virgin births aren't a thing also but the very definition of supernatural is that it rises above the way things naturally work. I honestly think sometimes what happens is part of the tongue is being spoken to God and only part of it, God is allowing to be interpreted but I don't know that. I don't pretend to know fully how interpretation works. I have one experience of it and I was on the speaking side of the equation but all I can tell you is God moved powerfully through it with fruit of changed lives. I would never argue that God gave multiple interpretations to multiple people however. If it's truly been interpreted, it has one meaning. Am I saying no one has ever misused or mistaken the use of these gifts? Nope. But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Humans are fallible but God still uses us. He's amazing and he's so much bigger than the box you're putting him in, if in fact you even believe in God. Sadly I know your mind is already made up on this. I'm honestly curious what made you so fascinated with trying to disprove tongues to have a whole channel about it? I pray God will open your eyes and heart.

@@alishawright7435 can you provide a direct link?

If you are in the spirit of truth you will never be mislead or deceit.❤

A lot of times you won’t get interpretations after someone speaks in tongues and that’s fine. This is a language that God understands, so even if we don’t get interpretations of tongues in that moment understand that they’re speaking to God and praising God. Now if the tongues is evil and not from God, that’s still between them and God, God will judge them in the end. Besides that, continue to fix your eyes in Jesus and your relationship with him, don’t put your full focus on whether you understand what anybody in tongues is saying or whether an interpretation will happen or not, God is still God no matter what. Jesus loves you, God bless 🙏🏼

Look up Deeper Fellowship Church here on KZfaq. They stream live Sundays 10:15 am EST. They do this very well.

There are different kinds of tongues. There is a prayer tongue, where the spirit speaks mysteries to God. This can be praise or it can be intercession and as a part of that there is a warfare tongue where you can tell you are doing spiritua battle. Then there is giving a message in tongues intended for interpretation, and sometimes that is even in an earthly tongue the hearer naturally understands. They are all different. In scripture you see a clear difference between a tonguebfor interpretation and tongues of prayer that build up the speaker as opposed to the hearer. Prayer tongues don't need interpretation.

@@a.m.g.116 "A lot of times you won’t get interpretations after someone speaks in tongues and that’s fine." This is not fine. If there isn't an interpreter, the person speaking in tongues should be quiet and speak to himself and to God. That's what Scripture commands.

@@joshgellock I understand that, but I’m not letting a church who doesn’t have an interpretations ruin it for me, I’m not going to church to focus on, “mannn he spoke in tongues and I didn’t understand it, so now I’m having a bad day and will ignore the word of God that’s being preached today” if THAT bothers you were at times you don’t get interpretations of tongues, then you’re going to lose focus on the word of God being preached , because Now your mind is on that and you lost focus on the word of God being preached. Just because someone speaks in tongues at church, doesn’t mean the whole church is ruined that day because no one in that crowd has the gift of interpretations of someone speaking in tongues, now if there is someone that can, Great, if no one has that gift, I’m not going to say “okay since no one in this church has the gift, then I’m leaving church for good”, you gotta look at context in the scriptures as well, everything Paul was preaching in these letters, he was speaking to THAT church in THAT time that was so focused on tongues and less on the word of God and also we can take what Paul said EVEN to those churchs and apply it to churches that were like the church’s Paul was writing letters to. If having no interpreter present going to bother you and make you lose focus on Gods word that day, then the enemy can EASILY use that and stray you away from the church. Like I said, it would be amazing to have an interpreter, but if it’s not, let them worship the Lord in tongues if they want, as long as the tongues is not demonic, let them freely worship God that way

I dont know exactly how interpretation is because i dont interpret but, Is it just a feeling of knowing? Like you have something in mind you are praying for? Or is it like you hear a phrase and know what that means? There are a very select few phrases I know what they mean when I pray them but only because they are real words. For example I started saying "raboni" in tongues shortly after being baptized in the Holy Spirit. I had never heard it but one day was reading the Bible and saw someone call Jesus that and then the text says "Raboni, which means teacher." It was so cool! Similar thing happened with "Elohim." I still sometimes hear these once I'm a while when praying in tongues. Idk why only a few phrases are Hebrew as most of it is entirely something different but God knows!

You may have both gifts?

Yes, it’s a very simple solution. Desire the gift of prophecy. You will not run into this issue. I think many of us have this gift but are too afraid to stand up in church & interrupt the “pastor” to use it. As most “pastors” frown upon anyone other than themselves speaking in church when it comes to any doctrinal teaching. They wouldn’t want the Spirit of God correcting their false teachings.

I have had others interpret my tongues.

Yes , the Holy Spirit can give you the meaning if you ask Him

Whats it like to interpet tongues. Does the words pop up in your head or do you just hear it in your ears.

@@y2j298 That’s hard to explain. For me I wouldn’t say in the head or ears, it’s through the Holy Spirit.

@@romeomakhele9402 Thank you. Yes I have asked and now am able to interpret my own. I haven’t been around anyone for a while that have the same gift so we will see if God has allowed me to interpret others. My newest gift is the interpretation of dreams. 🙏🏼🤍🕊️

It must be known that there IS an interpreter present BEFORE you permit yourself to speak in tongues. Read 1 Corinthians 14. The best solution is to desire the gift of prophecy instead or desire the gift of interpretation so you can interpret your own tongue.

There are different kinds of tongues. There is a prayer tongue, where the spirit speaks mysteries to God. This can be praise or it can be intercession and as a part of that there is a warfare tongue where you can tell you are doing spiritua battle.

In scripture you see a clear difference between a tonguebfor interpretation and tongues of prayer that build up the speaker as opposed to the hearer. Prayer tongues don't need interpretation. Yes there are also demonic tongues but you arent going to find a believer in Jesus speaking a demonic tongue. That only haopens if you intentionally give yourself over to witchcraft.

Also I happened to notice your screen name. "Hope filled sinner." A lot shifted for me when I understood that the scriptures declare that I once was by very nature a sinner in opposition to God, but that by his blood he has made me a new creation in Christ. I can still sin amd my flesh is still there waging war against me, but in my spirit, I am born again and called the righteousness of Christ. God has given me everything I need to live a life of godliness, etc etc (so many scriptures). So instead of "I'm a sinner, I will always be a sinner but don't sin," which led me into thinking things like "well, here's that one temptation i always lose to, let me give into it because I always feel powerless against it." I realized I had the power in christ as a new creation not to sin against Him. I could still sin but if I do I am not acting in my new identity but my old one. By nature now, my spirit is redeemed and I need to let the Spirit lead me and keep in step with him, not identify or have my identity in who I used to be, "sinner." Jesus paid too high a price for me not to have to be identified that way any more. I still have to repent daily etc and keep growing in sanctification. But I no longer see my core identity as sinner. I hope that might help you too. When I made that shift, suddenly certain sin I just couldn't overcome was broken off!!!

​@@living_m2414are there biblical verses for these types of tongues that you speak of?

Was looking for this

@@cruc1 please read your Bible because Paul spent a whole chapter talking about tongues and tells you to be quiet without an interpreter present.

@@cruc1he's correct. If there's no interpreter present, you're supposed to speak quietly to God and to yourself.

@@cruc1 are the Scriptures unclear? Paul says toward the end of the chapter that his commandments are from the Lord, and he goes on to say the one that ignores them should also be ignored. The word is simple: if there's no interpreter, then the person speaking in tongues shouldn't be heard.

@@cruc1 you think you can discern if someone has the Holy Spirit through a series of short exchanges on the Internet - exchanges that didn't even focus on the Gospel, but an issue like tongues and interpretation? Wow. You didn't even ask me about Jesus - and He's who it's all about. Grace saves the day and is welcomed in my conversations. Friend, if you don't like the Scriptures, because they command order in a service, then that's on you. That's not on me. I'm pointing out Paul's commandments to you. You're arguing that they don't need to be followed. I think that's sad. I hope you will reconsider your position. I also hope you reevaluate how you approach those who disagree with you and think for a few minutes if they might be right. Don't take the well-they-don't-agree-with-me-so-they-must-not-be-saved approach.

@@cruc1 I actually believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and have the Holy Spirit - and, believe it or not, I have prayed in tongues. I know, I know, shocking. That's me joking, in case you don't catch it. I haven't made assumptions, but am simply interpreting what you're saying. And again you said I don't have the Holy Spirit or the gift of tongues. It's not me, but you, who have made assumptions. I don't know you. I just know what the Scriptures say and that you were against what they declare. I wish you well in your studies. May the Lord help you come to a more adequate understanding of the Scriptures.

the gift of tongues is not evil. look at acts chapter 2. maybe you should consider if it is truly being spoken through the holy ghost and in truth. acts 2:38 is key to the true salvation.

Jesus baptized me in the Holy Spirit, at 14 years old, in 1971. I'd never seen or heard tongues, but the tongues began to pour forth. It was real, it was God. Years later, while sitting alone, quietly praying, I slipped into praying in tongues. Not the same, powerful experience, but a more gentle conversation, spirit to Spirit with the Lord. I was attending a Presbyterian, traditional church back then. A few months later I met a woman that invited me to a Spirit filled bible study & church. It was 1984, 13 years after my initial baptism in the Spirit. It was my first time going to a pentecostal church. I knew nothing about the gifts of the Spirit. As I dove into the bible, learning alongside other Spirit filled ladies, my understanding opened up. I saw & heard people praying tongues, under the influence of the Holy Spirit. I also witnessed a lady in a church service that I believe was a witch, speaking or praying loudly in another tongue. I felt an evil presence when she did her thing.

Religious spirit is having you think that.

Watch it there, don't discount the work of God. just becuase you don't do it, doesn't mean it's not real.

@@txpeaches872 Again, I'm not questioning the "tongues experience". The "tongues" themselves, however, are just as I describe above; non-cognitive non-language utterance.

When the Holy spirit comes upon you, you won't care whether what you're saying is cognitive or not

​@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 I posted my experience on another of your comments, particularly how inreveived tongues as a direct answer to prayer for help knowing what to pray withOUT ever reading about tongues in the Bible or seeing or hearing it done or even about it. And I know others with a similar story. I was a baby christian and had an experience and then found the Bible spoke of the same thing (when you pray in a tongue your spirit speaks mysteries to God.) Further, there is a even a study that shows the type of brain activity done when praying in tongues is distinct from what you'd expect to see if someone was just making up sounds. You can find it on youtube easilly. I can see on your channel that you are obsessed with trying to prove tongues are not real. How sad. I pray God shows you just how real everything in scripture still is today!
