Okay so i don't know much about it, i heard it's a gift that anyone can receive if they ask for it. Which would be great because for some reason i feel i need to start speaking in tongues in my prayers and my praises. It seems to me to be a powerful weapon of sort, Every testimony i hear of it they talk about how it somehow empowered them. So what exactly does one do to receive this gift? And what exactly does it do?I guess to me it seems to be a booster drink of sorts, like it not just empowers us but greatly pleases the lord as well.
Matthew 27:47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
Matthew 27:49The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
Luke 2:47Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
The Jews didn't know how to speak Hebrew ( but very little ), they only had spoken Greek. Since Jesus was the king of the Jews, He had to know how to speak the language that Abraham had spoken during the agreement. Jesus was able to read the ancient texts also; His bloodline were only from Abraham, and for Him being the son of a carpenter (handyman), it would be impossible for Him to be able to keep the old traditions and ways. only the scribes and pharisees had knew a few words of hebrew.
Acts 2:4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
The people had the ability to speaks in all languages of the world and they were able to speak all the languges of the future also; and which that signifies that God welcome all those whom hunger and thirst for righteousness; it just not only for the Jews, but all.
Romans 1:14I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
