To Receive Spiritual Gift of Tongues from Holy Spirit

To Receive Spiritual Gift of Tongues from Holy Spirit

There are many Christians out there who do not have the gift of tongues of the Holy Spirit. Many of them are mistaken and confused as well. This will be the simplest set of solutions to start speaking in tongues.

1) Repent for your Sins

To repent from your sins of all kind, realizing that you are a sinner is the first turning point in a Christian life. It is also a point in which a person receive minute interaction with Holy Spirit and thus the first step to receive Holy Spirit.

2) Accept Jesus as your Personal Savior

Accepting Jesus Christ, the giver of Holy Spirit is very necessary. Very few people recognize the entrance of Holy Spirit in them when they accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Often people feel a special peace, happiness, hope, etc in them while doing so.

You can accept Jesus Christ just by praying this from your heart. 'God I am a sinner and I do believe that the Jesus Christ is the Son of God and died for my sins on the cross and was raised for My Justification. I Do Now Receive and confess Jesus as My Personal Savior.' Amen!

3) Baptize in Water

To take Baptism in water in the name of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, fully immersed in water by a person who is already baptized, is a step of obedience as Jesus said and also a public declaration that you have decided to follow Jesus. (Matthew 28:19)

4) Baptize in Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit baptism is a result of desiring and waiting for God’s power and anointing as the disciples of Jesus did in upper room of the house in Jerusalem(Luke 24:49). Holy Spirit baptism or Fire baptism is a process in which God's Spirit enter into a human being's body to dwell in and with him. When it happens, we can feel it in our physical body and we receive the gift of tongues as a clear evidence.
NB: Some people used to receive Holy Spirit baptism before water baptism and there is nothing special in it and it is biblical as well. But waiting for Holy Spirit baptism to receive water baptism is not a great idea.

5) Believe it

You should believe in Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts and gift of tongues in order to receive it. It is very difficult or impossible to receive anything from God if you don’t believe. Bible says two things, (1) John 11:14; “BELIEVE and You Will See The Glory Of God” and (2) James 1:7; “Those who DO NOT BELIEVE should not think he will receive ANYTHING from the Lord”

6) Understanding Tongues
According to me, Holy Spirit baptism or Fire baptism is a process in which God's Spirit enter into a human being's body to dwell in and with him. When the entered Holy Spirit speak to God for your spiritual needs by taking control over your mouth is called speaking in tongues.

People say many things about the gift of tongues. Many of them are not correct. Just understand the things that you get from the bible when you read. It's not necessary that you should know everything about tongues to receive it. But you will understand everything when you receive it.

7) Desire and Pray in Your Own Language

Do you worship God, Praise God and Pray to God very well and daily in your own language? It is very necessary we should do that for our daily spiritual needs and to receive Holy Spirit. You should earnestly desire and pray to receive Holy Spirit with the gift of tongues. There is nothing wrong in desiring and praying for spiritual things as much as you want. If you can fast and pray, it will be better.

8) Equipping Yourselves

Even though if you started following all the steps mentioned above, still there are few things you should do in order to receive Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts.

a) Forgive: When accepting Jesus Christ as you personal savior you receive forgiveness for all your sins. What about those who committed sin to you and harmed you physically or emotionally. Are you waiting for God to take revenge upon them? I recommend you to read the parable from bible on Matthew 18:21-35. Read that and forgive to all those who sinned and did all bad things against you from your heart. If possible, directly visit them face to face and reconcile with the. This is one of the most important things God wants you to do.

b) Victory Over Your Weaknesses: You are saved, baptized, going to a church and followed all the things I mentioned. Are you still under any bondage? Is any weakness irritating you or destroying you? Is any previous actions or effect of an action in your past hunting you? Do you think you are under any curse? Do you think you are having a demon? Are you feeling not normal? Are you suffering any Chronic diseases or hereditary diseases? If any of its answer or any similar kind of questions answer is YES, you have to take victory upon it with the help of a spiritual counselor or minister of God or by fasting prayer with a group of spiritual people.

9. How to Receive?
In bible you can see that most of the people received Holy Spirit and the anointing from and with the presence of a man of God especially by the laying of their hands. Rarely Holy Spirit used to be filled in people also when they are alone. Thus praying for receiving anointing with the presence of a man of God will help you receive the anointing of God.

This doesn’t mean that you should go to pray near an anointed man of God whenever you see them. I will tell you a simple method. Keep on following the other steps I mentioned. You can know yourself the time in which your heart is really desiring to receive the Holy Spirit and anointing. On such an occasion, you can go to a man of God to pray for you. If you can do a prayer with fasting for some days and wait upon the Holy Spirit and anointing it will be more effective. If you are fasting with a group of people for some days with prayer and dedication, it will be even more effective.

10. Increase it:

Once you received the gift of tongues, be thankful to God and love and use the gift of tongues you received as much as you can. If you use it well, you can increase(to receive more) the gift of tongues you received. Increasing the received spiritual gift of Holy Spirit will help you to grow spiritually and to receive more spiritual gifts as well.

My Prayer to You: 
God I pray for this person. If he/she is a person who is praying to receive Holy Spirit and the Spiritual gifts from you, especially tongues, help him follow the steps which is written and please guide him/her to receive it as soon as possible. Provide them opportunity and time to practice the things mentioned. Overcome their knowledge and understanding with your grace and wisdom.

If he/she is a person who already received the Holy Spirit, Spiritual gifts and tongues, help them to use it faithfully without any doubt. Also help them understand its importance and to start loving it. Give them the best so that they don't think about comparing it with others. Help them to love it, use it and Increase it. All in Jesus Christ's precious name I pray. Thank you God

NB: All true Christian know this article is very simple, correct and to the point. If you feel like to find fault in and criticize it and still not able to get out from the confusions and misunderstandings about the same, understand you have to fix that as weakness.

Answer:

The presence or possession of demons can be basically identified by visible and invisible manifestations in the demon possessed and by the gift of spiritual discernment. Usually most manifestations are visible to everyone while some can be heard or seen only by the demon possessed and sometimes an exorcist can see that as well.

Demons can be possessed by following reasons:

1. Demons Free Will: Demons by their own free will can possess any person. Demons cannot possess people with God's grace, those who are protected by God and living in good relationship with God. Any person with wicked mind is an open door for all demons and demons are looking for people like that to abide or to possess.

2. By the Will of People: If a person desire to be possessed by demons and open doors by himself to be possessed, he'll be possessed. Inviting demons by their own words, doing or participating in any occult activities, practicing or participating witchcraft, divination, seeking omens, and consulting mediums and spiritists, playing ouija board, being adventurous to commit any evil practices, making pacts with Satan, dedicating your life to Satan or evil, playing with a demon possessed, etc can make you possessed by demons by your own will.

3. Sorcerers, Spiritists & Witches: Many people really don't know how sorcerers, spiritists and witches able to do paranormal things which they are doing to others. No human beings have are created with paranormal abilities. Sorcerers, Spiritists and witches do this by doing activities that pleases a demon to fulfill what he wishes.

4. Will of God: Demons are not created by God, but they know very well who the God Most High is and they worship Him as well. If God command them to torment a person, demons can possess that person and torment(King Saul is an example). Demons also used to beg God granting permission to abide in something(Demons from Gerasene man).

EXORCISM

Exorcism or casting out demons is the practice of evicting demons from a person. Different religions practice different methods of exorcism. It's better not to practice no other method of exorcism other than what is mentioned in the bible. Because most of all non-biblical methods do exorcism by pleasing demons or Beelzebub by various acts. It's ungodly to do so and can make situation even worse. The complexity of non-biblical exorcism is the greatest evidence that it is ungodly.

There are basically two biblical ways of doing exorcism. The simplicity of the biblical exorcism method is the greatest evidence that it is Godly and there is no bad practice involved in.

Divine Authority: The permanent and most effective solution to do exorcism is to cast them out using the divine authority from God. This authority over demons can be received by fasting and praying and can be used to cast out demons even from severely possessed persons. The only thing this person have to do is to tell to the demons in the possessed person to 'Get Out'.

Jesus Name: There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. A person who accepted Jesus Christ the Son of God as savior and received Holy Spirit(With visible evidence to speak in tongues of Holy Spirit), can use the name of Jesus Christ to cast out normal kind of demons. The only thing they have to do is to tell the the demons in the possessed person to 'Get out in Jesus Christ name'. It's not possible to use this authority by grace of God to cast out powerful demons.

Even without these authorities, anyone can pray to God, speak out the name of Jesus Christ or read bible or sing divine songs to the demon possessed person. Doing so can make a demon possessed person comfortable and the demons in him uncomfortable. In some cases, this can cause the demons to leave the possessed person.
