@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...

@kriswampler: It seems I must speak to you now as a dis-en-voiced body.. which is comically ironic in terms of this thread. :) BTW, I mean no disrespect to anyone involved, including mods. I just tend to see the humor in situations. Also, I'm not a mod, nor have I made any conscious request...

@KrisWampler ; One thing I should say further on the topic since your point wasn't so much that he spoke audibly from an external perspective rather than internally. But rather you were asking about the face to face aspect. (friend to friend, letting our guard down so to speak). My habit of...

Wellll... :) I feel I understand your point because I'm also someone who has heard God speak (in ways I've felt I don't deserve, to be quite honest) and am yet of sound mind. I've just had to learn to "try the spirits" as the scriptures warn and admonish us to do. And I've made some mistakes...

Thank-you for clarifying your meaning, and subsequently your beliefs on the matter. This may sound nit-picky on the details but I think this is where @Runningman is getting upset. So please bear with me as it also has to do with your original question. Consider the following subsets of...

That was one question I failed to ask. @KrisWampler: Were you asking the difference between God speaking (clearly and full sentences) inside the person VS. outside (to where the person has to hear it with physical ears)? ... Or were you suggesting that God doesn't speak except through the...

Before my 2-part reply, I want to say thank you for your postings. Your questions may have been posed by others with various wordings but you present them in an authentic way, asking without implied presupposition that this one will answer this way and that one will answer that way. I hope you...

I've told this story before but will summarize it here as it goes along with the results of the test. I conversed with a pastor from Sri Lanka. He said he needed a motorcycle to meet his needs. I said he needed God and God would provide. We argued over this because he kept proclaiming his lack...

And most don't even realize that that's what speaking in tongues is for. Prayer. So we can walk in the strength of the spirit rather than the will of the flesh. Romans 8:26 KJV "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the...

The answer IMHO is in prayer. In prayer we ask God for guidance, strength, answers, help, etc for the day. THAT is where we yield to him (when we are alone in our prayer closets). And what is done in secret is made manifest as we walk it out through the day. If we reverse that and think...

As for God using things as simple as cat videos because that may be the only thing we can receive at the time. ... That's a real thing. One of the most impacting statements I've ever heard was when a coworker said "Have a good evening" instead of "See you later" when I was having a bad day...

I hear what you're saying. Of a truth if we try and seem to succeed one day, but can't do as much the next, Satan is right there to help us beat ourselves up with condemnation. I've had the Holy Ghost with speaking in tongues for over 30 years. God started healing, working miracles, speaking...

If you don't know that the purpose of man's existence on this earth is for man to have the opportunity to choose, you might simply consider that it is appointed for man only once to die. Hebrews 9:27 Because we only exist in, and exit, this life only once, it is wise to consider what choices...

@JTB Thanks for the thumbs up. That was a good discussion of Laban and Jacob...and more people ought to read it. Love in Jesus, Kelby

I'm not really a fan of using the word "saved" ...because it is SOOO vague if not clarified thoroughly. If someone has been saved it technically only means they have been delivered from something. It doesn't necessarily imply religious conversion or any specific level of permanence. Someone...

I thought so, too until verse 36 when it continues to say he put distance between his(own) flocks and Jacob's flocks. Jacob couldn't separate himself from himself. So it was Laban who actually did the sorting and separating (breaking the terms of the agreement already). The "He" became Laban...

I did not because I think it highly unlikely and only due to a misenterpretation , errant translation or someone just wanting it to mean that. The reason being the structure of the sentence. "They" and "them" in the sentence were clearly referencing the 70 in the early portions of the...

My apologies for not answering from a scholarly point of view, but I think you hit on the correct meaning here. They were given a spirit of prophecy that remained on them, manifesting enough to make it clear that it was not a one-time fluke. Contextually, God was sharing the power of Moses...

I'm not personally a fan of that song but you are right that it fits the request of the OP. To word it in terms of one of my own life lessons, I've learned that sometimes the world is a better teacher than the church. And that you should take good lessons wherever they are available rather...

@KrisWampler ; And Rev. 19:20, Rev. 20:10, and Rev. 20:14-15 regarding destruction in the lake of fire. (I'd run out of editing time whilst adding scripture references.) Love in Jesus, Kelby
