Tongues
September 10th, 2006
Tongues have always been a stumbling block for many people, even thought the Word of God speaks clearly about “Tongues,” or, “Languages.”
If Christians have so many differences regarding tongues how much more strange would it be for a Jew? I needed proof, so I asked God that if ‘tongues’ were for today and did come from Him, that He would give me such a special tongue that I would never doubt again!
On the 11th of March, 1982, I invited a friend and a sister in the Lord, Felicity Waddington, to come and visit me. I told her of my special request to God. We waited upon God in prayer and then she started speaking in tongues, and interpreting it. She said, “What I have promised is yours. Take it.”
I opened my mouth in praise. Suddenly I was caught up in such intensity, as if I was surrounded by fire! Even my friend felt it! The tongue flowed rapidly, and it felt as if it reached the very throne of God!
I then realized that I had experienced the supernatural! The gift of tongues!
As it is Written: “They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and come to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.” Acts 2:3-4
Mark was due in at that time. I thought that if he should find me in such a state, he would have thought I was out of my mind.
As it is Written: “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. . . because they are Spiritually discerned.” I Corinthians 2:14
The Holy Spirit knew my anguish and immediately stopped the flowing of the tongue. Praise God, He knows our hearts!
From then on, I knew that the tongue was for today and was from God!
And as I EXPECTED, He totally granted my request!
Praise His Name forever!

Hi Marlene.
Thank you for your testimony. Here in South Africa many people are talking about the tongues issue. Some people says that it should be a specific language others say it’s ok if it’s a “babble” language. I have prayed in a tongue before… it was wonderful! The tongue God gave you is it in a specific language or is it in a strange “babble” tongue?

Marlene,
God Bless you for your testimony on the gift of speaking in tounges. I was babtized in the Holy Spirit a year ago and what an awesome gift God gave me. Some do not believe such gifts are real. One man proclaimed he believes literally everything the bible says but not that one can speak in tounges. How little “his” god must be.
Scripture tells us of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
7.Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8.To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9.to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10.to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11.All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
Praise God

I was one of those who did not speak in tongue when I was baptized with the Holy Spirit. The gift has to be stirred up and released. Sometimes, God waits and educates us in that rather than an “automatic” spiritual experience upon the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
More importantly, we have to recognize the purposes of tongues rather than experiencing and exercising the gift. I pray that the Spirit of God will stir our hearts to release the gift in us.
