“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance… (Acts 2:4)
They call it Glossolalia, often understood among Protestant Christians as speaking in tongues. It is the fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehended meaning. Speaking in tongues is the New Testament phenomena where a person speaks in a language that is unknown to him. This language is either the language of angels or other earthly languages (1 Cor. 13:1). It occurred in Acts 2 at Pentecost and also in the Corinthian church as is described in 1 Corinthians 14.
1 Corinthians 14-18
14 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for[a] he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7 Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 12 Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding. 16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say? 17 For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; 19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
The Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:45-46)
…45All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God.Then Peter said, 47“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”
“Speaking in tongues is the beginning step to being baptized in the Holy Spirit, and is for every born-again believer. Luke 5: 37-38 says, “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled, and the wineskins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” When you become born-again, your spirit becomes eternally alive and heaven bound with Jesus. Concerning the gift of tongues, it is given to all believers who believe and activate their faith to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit Peter said to them in Acts 2:38-39, “”Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Speaking in tongues is for all believers, from the time of the early church on the Day of Pentecost to today with ourselves and to our children and to our grandchildren and to their children—until the day of the Lord’s return.

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” – Colossians 3:2
Eric Ludy raised a huge challenge on this video “Asking The Tough Questions.”These questions are very relevant to every believer of Jesus Christ as we continue to serve Him in the ministry. Watch full video below. The transcript is also available below.
What are you attracted to?
What is it that moves you in this life?
There’s something that gets you up off the couch.
What is it? Gold or God? You choose. “For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.”
Which what is the greater appeal to your soul which one’s driving you?
Which one gets you up in the morning? Which one lifts you off the couch? Which one will cause you to risk life and limb? Gold? or God?
Do you really trust him? Do you believe that His word is in fact the
Word of God and holy backed by the integrity almighty?
He promises to those who believe and he cannot lie so.
Are you willing to lay it on the line in this generation to prove your God faithful? Or are you one of the humbugs?
I pray thee, have me excused. You’re busy.!
And so though we have a dying world out there and some of them right down the street, I pray thee, have me excused.
I’m not one that can really accomplish that. CT stud was 52 years old on death’s doorstep! “God, don’t pass me over.”
He said there’s a discrepancy between us and CG stud.
We need what he had!
Do we have a CT stud in our midst? that’s willing to say, “I don’t care what it comes with they’re lost. There are those needful of Jesus Christ. God send me.”
would you rather that someone else go instead. Oh God thanks for bringing that up yeah I think in this situation it probably would be good that someone else went instead of me. I mean I think could you give me a few other options?
because that option really just doesn’t resonate with me. You definitely like a longer list and I can just sort of pick which job description I would like. You can let someone else get the job description the god designs specifically for you?
Do you have limit to your obedience?
It’s like, I will follow God to this point. But anything beyond this point is extreme. Who came up with that?
Doesn’t God own you? Don’t you realize that he purchased your body? You belong to Jesus Christ. You submitted your life to him he can do with you what he wishes. So who are you to give your life to Jesus Christ and then define the terms of how he will use your life?
Do you have a limit to your obedience?
Because if you have a limit to your obedience, something’s wrong with your Christianity. Am I willing to serve forgotten and without applause? We really like to be known, and we really like the applause. Let’s just admit it, and then let’s answer the question.
Are we willing to forego that? Am I willing to forego the comforts of life? If any of you are Americans in here you know the value we put on the comforts of life. God wouldn’t actually asked me to forego those, would he? That’s not right!
Are you willing is the question?
doesn’t mean he will ask you to just be miserable questions are you willing to go where there aren’t comforts you know there’s other places in this world you haven’t traveled much you’ll find it out
that aren’t like America.
You know East Timore, Afghanistan, Iraq, Liberia, you know some rough places out. there the period is amid have electricity paved roads maybe of Jesus Christ. Are you willing to give up the comforts of life for your king? By the way life on Earth is very short.
Are you willing to give up a short season of your existence to serve your king well no matter what the cost?
Am I willing to go anywhere no matter the danger or darkness? anywhere! anywhere is the question. Not just to the easy spots. Anywhere! For King and Kingdom because if you say no who do you expect in this generation to say yes?
Am I willing to let go my reputation?
You know when you serve Jesus Christ, you become the misunderstood.
It doesn’t happen always immediately but on and sometimes it does. where people start looking at you like what in the world’s wrong with you? Tt’s our passing little rumors about you too I’ll start the little tales can begin to float through the air or over the Internet. You stand for something and you’re immediately misunderstood despised. Sometimes hated would be a good word to describe it Jesus was described as a worm and no man in Psalm 22
Are you willing to be a worm and no man in this generation?
Am I willing to die young for the sake of Christ
Am I willing to live lonely among the heathen?
Am I willing to suffer in my body?
Am I willing to be a etcetera and insignificant and nobody for the glory of Jesus Christ?
Do you require notoriety?
Are you willing to serve unnoticed?
Well I go to interior Africans. they don’t really have News cameras that can capture all my good deeds down there!
I need to be noticed
Doesn’t God want us to be famous?
So that he can make a name for himself? If I increase, maybe he can increase that way. Well actually the pattern for him increases as you decrease see that’s the great secret for increase the Kingdom of Heaven. We get out of the way.
Are you willing to be one of Christ’s etceteras? Or must you be one of Christ’s somebodies?
Is this for your reputation or for His? I want you to realize what we’re defining here isn’t extreme Christianity. It’s Christianity It’s the way it’s always been. Gold or God? are gone which one lifts you off the couch? Which one will cause you to risk life and limb? gold or God? Which one would you gamble to get more off?
Because men and women all throughout history of Gamble’s get gold but which of us is willing to gamble our lives and put it all on the line to get more God? More God.. God or God? You choose…

If you ask me about people who have influenced my life, I can tell you straight away that Billy Graham is one of them. I have a high admiration about Billy Graham’s humility, boldness, and uncompromising preachings. I can spend hours watching him preach or read his books. He is such an inspiration.
Happiness does not depend on abundance. It depends on something else. It depends on something deeper. The Bible says in Isaiah There is no peace to the wicked.
There will be no peace in your heart if you don’t know God. You will be like a restless sea. If you look at the sea and see how restless it is, that like the heart of a person that doesn’t know Christ. Do not be deceived God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap
Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.(Romans 4:7) The word “Blessed” means happy! If you have your sins forgiven and your inequities have been covered by the blood of Christ, then there is happiness, there is joy, and there is peace. And God can forgive sin because of the cross. God send His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and He put all of your sin on Him. Jesus was the sin bearer. He became the scapegoat. He took all the penalty for your sin.
Billy Graham in San Diego, CA, on August 18, 1976.http://www.billygraham.org
