🔸️ Speaking in tongues that removes our depression! 🔸️
When a person speaks in tongues, we know that his spirit (heart) speaks 'some languages' directly from the heart through his mouth. Speaking thus, denotes to put his mind at renounce and speaking. Due to this, he pours out everything in his heart to God! It could be the effect of his overjoyed or a burden caused by some depression!! Through this, the ‘heavy burden’ of his heart leaves him. Thus he attains devotional growth! (1Cor. 14:4).
Since the person who speaks in tongues speak the language that he doesn't know, he puts his full attention on the Lord, renounce his mind and speaks the words directly from his heart through his mouth. Even if he doesn't understand the meaning of his speech, he would have realized well that God knows the longings and burdens of his heart.
As we have seen above, whenever there is burden in one's heart, it is the fruitful time for a believer to place that burden on God! Particularly, when a believer's mind is tired of praying in his own language, praying in tongues is a consolation to him. Even if we can’t explain it in words, we can feel the work!
Those who were the high quality Christians in this World, whether they spoke in tongues or not..... they had wholehearted and immeasurable love for their Lord Jesus! The Disciples Peter, James, John and Paul spoke in tongues! But, as far as we know, Godly people like John Wesley, Charles Binny, D.L. Moody, A.B. Simpson, William Booth, C.T. Stutt, Watchman Nee, never spoke in tongues! But, they all loved their Lord wholeheartedly! They all walked in the path of the Cross! These were the "Center" of their lives! Everything else was secondary to them!!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! Thanks for the gift of tongues that will console anyone who is weary! However, this is not the primary matter; give us the grace to live in the way which leads to the Cross! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
