“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-5

In my early stage of Christianity, the gift of Tongues is one gift that I benefited allots from; yet I encountered several bashings concerning it from so many folks. Most of which, were those who had been in the race, years before me…

But somehow, I seemed to take every other corrections, except giving up on speaking in tongues: both in privacy and in public. Then as I continued relentlessly and doggedly till now, the gift of Tongues have become one of my most profitable spiritual gifts.

By the administration of the gift of tongues (personally), I can now pray for over an hour without vain repetitions. By its administration, when I’m faced with some stubborn temptations, as I open my mouth, in faith, I get instant deliverance from the Holy Spirit…

Along the above line of deliverance from stubborn temptations, a few months ago, I was attacked by a very strong spirit of lust towards a lady, I was prospecting to marry. Then as I struggled on my own, the Holy Spirit gave me a word; and as I got the word, immediately, I got up and started speaking violently in other tongues…

And presently, I felt the power of God move on my heart and cleansed the lustful feeling. And by the next time I saw the lady in question, she was like every other person to me. The lustful feeling I had towards her totally disappeared…

More so, when I’m tempted with depression, as I open my mouth, speaking in other tongues, within a few minutes, my Joy of salvation is miraculously restored. By the manifestation of the gift of tongues, as I open my mouth to interpret by faith, I get some specific messages from God.

By the manifestation of the gift of tongues, a few weeks ago, as my neighbor overhead me praying in other tongues, she placed her hand in the spot where she had pain, then by daybreak, the pain was totally gone.

A few weeks back, as I prayed in other tongues and in understanding for my friend who was sick, I got a leading of the Holy Spirit to call him over the phone and pray for him for instant healing. As I did, presently, the power of God fell on him, and the medication he was to take, he left it and by daybreak, he was totally healed.

I can go on and on, sharing all the miracles I have personally encountered by simply opening my mouth in faith to speak in other tongues. Yet so many folks in Christendom miss out on the blessings of God, accessible to them through speaking and praying in other tongues due to unbelief and religious brain-washing…

Hence, this sermon seeks to point out, scripturally, the correct administration of this awesome gift, for personal edification.

What Then Is The Gift Of Tongues For?


  1. Self-Edification- 1 Corinthians 14:2: It is for receiving comforting ministrations or messages from the Holy Spirit. Then it also means, receiving self-lifting, divine help from God in your Spirit.
  2. It is For Charging Up Your Faith- Jude 1:20. Which is to say, when you are faced with an issue, and you’re tempted with unbelief or fear, you clear them off instantly by speaking in other tongues.

    As you speak in other tongues, when you’re confronted with a situation, fear, unbelief, personal beliefs, are instantly replaced with a Holy Faith (God’s kind of Faith). Then along the same line, you can also apply tongues for stirring up the other spiritual gifts in you. For instance, Tongues can stir-up prophecy (through the interpretations). It can stir up the gift of healing and the rests… all of which, manifest by faith.

    You know, the Apostle Paul in the book of 2 Timothy 1:6; charges us to stir up the gifts of God in us. And one of the easiest ways to do that, is to be speaking more and more in other tongues, just like the Apostle Paul did (1 Corinthians 14:18).
  3. Tongues Is For Prayers- Romans 8:26; “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

    Now with the gift of tongues, which is powered by the Holy Spirit himself, we can pray more effectively, with better results… and much, much, more. So forbid not to speak in other tongues… (1 Corinthians 14:39).

Ok...I see Depression as demonic, period..GOD would not have HIS own going around destressed and depressed..otherwise, how successful and well armed would they be for HIS kingdom? Think about it...NO warrior, no missionary, no holy spirit filled person can deal with being in GOD's will and fighting depression and the world every day. I know of many people who deal with depression...and they are not outgoing determined well versed holy spirit filled people...they enjoy surrounding themselves with other depressives, as birds of a feather flocking together. Two depressive people do not make a Paul and Silas, or a James and John, or anybody effective for CHRIST.

Depression can result from circumstances or lack of neurotransmitters in the brain. It is rarely demonic.

If you can "cure" a disease with modern medicine, then it is not demons. This whole nonsense philosophy that demons are behind mental illness and depression is what makes depression such a stigma in the church. Placing the blame on demons for depression is a MAJOR barrier to getting treatment, especially in the church.

In the US and Canada, 8% of the population will have depression at any given time. That is 28.32 million people in the US and Canada alone!

I work with the mentally ill, including those with depression and bipolar disorder. Many are strong Christians and rely on the Lord daily. It is an insult to these people to ignorantly claim that depression is a result of demonic activity.

Angela, to be honest with you, I think there is a looking down on certain people, the mentally ill, the homeless and more in hypercarismatic circles like WOF and similar. There is a paganistic remain of seeing success (at any cost) as "blessings", while (even for reasons that have nothing to do with personal unrighteousness) hardships, poverty, diseases are seen as "curses".

Because WOF bashers only think the full gospel is from the WOF movement.

It is kinda like the the thought they have. The one where they think they will only be the only ones in heaven, which is true, because the rest of us will be on the new earth and at the new Jerusalem with Jesus!

The Prophet Elijah struggled with depression. Then God baked him some cakes, had him drink a few glasses of water and forced him to have nap time. Elijah woke up and went into the strength of the cakes, water and power nap for 40 days.

I guess they think only WoF people believe in healing, speaking in tongues etc.. I follow the Celtic tradition and believe in all the gifts of the spirit.

Sure. As one who has suffered with depression in my life, I can tell you from experience, it is a decision for many people, so there is a temptation to give in to it. But in Jesus Christ, we have another option.

Moses, Saul, David, Job, pretty much all the prophets at one time or another...

i think God left that part of the record to help us.

sometimes we get cakes and a power nap and sometimes God provides in other ways.

Decision? Inform us just how does someone opt out depression? With a lot of own will-power and prayer in Jesus' Name?

I made a decision to give into depression when it came knocking at my door. I thought, "I will let it come and then it will pass over me like a bad cold and then go away, and I will come out the other side." Pretty flawed thinking on my part! It didn't work that way, but after a year or so, I received deliverance from the Lord Jesus Christ, threw my medication away (at His leading) and walked right out of it.

The next time it came knocking, I made a better choice---"Hit the road, depression! My Jesus is going to carry me!"

He makes me soar over the storm like an eagle.

Probably because those who believe a teaching (any teaching) is false feel obliged to say so; and many on the forum are persuaded that WOF is indeed false teaching.

It may also be spill over from the Joyce Meyer thread.

This is exactly what Paul was chewing the Corinthian saints out for. They were desiring a gift that was the LEAST of the gifts. They were misusing this temporary gift and were "hoping" for it. Not all were given the gift of foreign languages.

First to last.........

New American Standard Bible
And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues(foreign languages.)
