@shittim - You've given me the "Red X" because of my feelings? I have felt the Raw, Almighty Power of God; the Power that parted the Red Sea; the Power that parted the Jordan River twice; the Power that created this universe . . . to the degree that if I had felt more of this Almighty Power it would have killed me. I was only moments away from dying from the overwhelming Peace and Love of God.
I wouldn't trade my experience for anything visual, or for anything auditory. Many people have had visions and heard things, but I felt this Power and came to realize that it is True, that no flesh can be in the full Presence of our Holy, Powerful God . . . and live. I realize that you do not understand what I am talking about, for it is inconceivable that Peace and Love can be so Powerful that this Source can put an end to life, thus you have my human form of Grace.
I am aware of far more than you could ever, possibly realize.

Agreed, pride is indeed a terrible thing, He can do His best work through us as we humble ourselves before Him.
1) You can tell me that how I [feel] is disagreeable, and that this is [not] a problem for you.
2) If I disclose my Powerful experience with the Lord, I am guilty of being prideful.
This . . . is pathetic.

I mean to pull that out of the air almost immediately sends up warning flags to me quite frankly
especially since you have me on ignore and don't you know who I am? how dare you.. huh....bangs into wall on the way out cause the nose is too high up in the air
where's a talking donkey when you need one....

It is a characteristic of the devil to counterfeit the best that God gives us, otherwise people wouldn't be taken in by the false version.
I have had some excellent mentors in my time who had a wonderful influence in my Christian life. I know that God provided exactly the right ones to enhance my Christian life and to keep me on the right track. When sitting under the ministry of an excellent godly mentor/teacher, it spoils one for everything else, and the difference between the true and the false becomes more discernable.

@Lafftur ;
Unless you say otherwise, I'm going to use your thread as a place to start testifying of things that God has done for at least one person (this person) who has "speaking in tongues". Not as a bragging tool but as a testimony of how good God is.
Why?
As I was praying...(in tongues, for those who might wonder)... God was bringing to my remembrance several things that he has done for me over the years and I thought "Wow, I've had more influence over my world than what I thought. A lot more." And God's children need to hear testimony of the kinds of things he is willing to do for them... So we can more greatly obey the commandment portion of this formula... "Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full". <-- if ever there was a commandment we should start trying to obey, this is one of them.
Love in Jesus,
Kelby

- This will not be an exhaustive list. (John 21:25)
- I'm not planning to put it in any particular order except that the first two have a money element because money seems interesting to most people. (until you learn how comparatively worthless it is).
- Some of the details can be confirmed, some probably not. Some of these things happened decades ago. Records are only kept for a certain number of years, and sometimes details get retracted from public view. But rather than testing by record-searching, I recommend testing by asking for something similar with a sincere heart and pure motives. However, most of the larger details are probably still internet searchable.
Love in Jesus,
Kelby

Hello Kelby,
Feel free to testify of all the good and marvelous things God has done!
The gift of speaking in tongues is one of these good and marvelous things but, God is without measure - there’s sooo much MORE!
Our Father in Heaven LOVES us!
Our Savior and King Jesus Christ LOVES us!
Our Helper the Holy Spirit LOVES us!
Absolutely there’s sooo much MORE to say! I look forward to reading your posts!

Praying in silence Has always worked for me.
God always hears and answers.
When the Apostles asked Jesus to teach them to pray, He made no mention of a special prayer language.
Many of Jesus's prayer are recorded in Scripture with no mention of a special prayer language, so I assume those who heard Him understood every word.
Just do not see the need or point that a special prayer language is needed.
