i mean scientific evidence
next on its supernatural
hello i’m here with pastor todd smith
from the north georgia revival is
unbelievable a little sleepy southern
town in georgia
and sometimes he’ll have more people on
a sunday night
for the water baptism service
that are in the entire town as a matter
of fact
why because they have found it’s like a
point of contact
when they go in the waters of mikvah of
baptism
and come out many are healed tell me
your
favorite miracle that’s happened
recently it was a gentleman that had 280
cancerous tumors in his bones 280 280
cancerous tumors
in his bones he was so sick he could not
even make it to the revival
his wife came to be baptized as a point
of contact for her husband
he didn’t even come he did not even come
hospice
was at his house he had two to three
weeks to live
and his wife got baptized and we sent
her home with the towel
anointed it and said when you get home
as a point of contact
lay it on his body and after just a few
minutes after she laid
that towel on his body and began to pray
for him the pain
lifted off of his body goes the next day
it must have been an
excruciating pain excruciating pain
i’m telling you sid to hear the
testimony
goes the next day to get a pet scan they
wanted to see what the cancer was doing
in his body
i heard with my very own ears the
doctor’s
phone call to the couple she says i’m
looking
at the old pet scan and the new pet scan
i’m looking at the old pet scan and the
new pet scan and she said we cannot find
any bone tumors cancerous bone tumors
in his body completely healed and
walking in full strength today
and again how long did he have to live
at the hospice
two to three weeks they said it at most
and what did the letters say from that
the letter that hospice sent said that
this is incurative
and they gave him a window of six months
because that’s they said we may be there
six months but we’re looking at a two to
three week window
until he dies you get that the power of
god
is so awesome god did that
now as a southern baptist you were as
strong
against speaking in tongues as you are
strong
for god is a miracle-working god today
how how bad was it if
if i had walked up to you and said
i want i want you to start speaking in a
language you’ve never been taught here
look
what would you have done to me i would
have said sid you’ve lost your mind
you i would have said you’re crazy in
fact i mocked
people that spoke in tongues i scorned
them i
literally told our congregation don’t do
it it’s
of the devil that’s what i spoke as a
leading southern baptist pastor that was
pastoring one of the fastest growing
churches in the state of
georgia but sit in the midst of it all
i got hungry for god i got thirsty for
the lord
and when i began to read my scriptures
without my denominational glasses on
it became real to me that the baptism of
the holy spirit and speaking in tongues
was valid for today
well after a year and a half of research
i’m talking about you are really a
surrenderable guy
i’m thinking i want the real and i want
the authentic so i had this copious
research and
i came to the conclusion that it was
real and i went to a pentecostal prayer
meeting i did and that’s the last place
i won’t tell anybody yes
listen that’s the last place that a
southern baptist pastor ought to be in
there were four pentecostal pastors
there
and they ended up laying hands on me
and one gentleman weighed 140 pounds
soaking wet put his index finger on my
forehead and he said be
filled with the holy spirit instantly at
that moment
the holy ghost came upon me i’m falling
out in the spirit
and i began to speak in tongues
and my life since that moment sid has
never
been the same it was the greatest thing
that ever happened to me
outside of my salvation experience
new york times the new york times
newspaper
had an article about tongues what did it
say
well they followed a research that was
done in
a united kingdom and it was a group of 1
000 evangelicals that this research was
conducted on
and the research came to the conclusions
now listen to this
came to the conclusion that those who
speak
in tongues consistently and regularly
have
fewer mental disorders than those who do
not
and the new york times reported on that
research
and affirmed that speaking in tongues
is valid and how about the university of
pennsylvania study you know the new york
uh
the neuroscience department university
of pen pennsylvania
led by andrew newberg conducted a
study uh it is just absolutely
phenomenal
that when they took people that were
praying in tongues
sid they analyzed the brain they looked
at what was going on
in the brain the activity they
discovered that the frontal lobe which
literally controls the speech
of a person’s life when we were when
they were
speaking in english and praying english
it was firing it was
active i mean it was a lot of activity
going on in their frontal lobe
but when they transitioned to tongues
when that individual spoke in tongues
all the activity in the frontal lobe
went dormant that proves it’s not coming
from the brain
it affirms what paul said in first
corinthians 14 that when i
pray in tongues my spirit prays
but my understanding is unfruitful
and this is a university university of
pennsylvania
led by a gentleman that literally had a
degree in nuclear medicine
in nuclear cardiology so this is not
just some kind of a cheap research
this was done at the university of
pennsylvania that says the front of a
person’s brains
goes dormant when they pray in tongues
no wonder
paul said i pray in tongues
more than any man he knew that that was
the
secret of his power are you ready
for evidence of how praying in tongues
boost your immune system by up to 40
percent
next when we return
hello youtube mishpochah is the hebrew
word of means family
this is sid roth welcome to my world
where it’s naturally
supernatural if you’ve been blessed by
this show
please subscribe then click the bell so
you won’t miss a single
episode of it’s supernatural
i’m here with pastor todd smith todd you
say there
is a disturbing trend going on in
charismatic churches
and pentecostal churches what is that
disturbing trend
sid as i as i travel around and preach
especially since the revival has hit our
church
i have the privilege of going into
pentecost on charismatic churches and
i’m finding out
that too many of them do not pray in
tongues
and many of them don’t even know about
the power of praying in the holy ghost
and these are pentecostal charismatic
churches
where we should be talking about the
significance
of praying in the holy spirit so here’s
what i
as a southern baptist i doubted the
validity of tongues
but we’re just we’re discovering that
pentecostal and charismatic pastors
are devaluing tongues they’re taking it
for granted
taking it for granted and not making it
a priority
of the people of god i’ve discovered in
reading the scriptures
that the very first thing that jesus
gave the church
the first thing when the holy spirit
came was the ability to supernaturally
communicate with him
in tongues the first thing that he gave
and now we
this trend is we’re minimizing
what jesus gave the church the ability
to talk to him
supernaturally yeah you know what i
think it’s so amazing
sometimes pastor todd is at a meeting
where over 80 people
are actually praying in tongues for the
very
first time that’s almost like the
original pentecost
how did that happen we were at pastor
kevin craig’s
church in apopka florida and
we were baptizing started baptizing at 9
30 at night because i told the people
about the vision on the water fire on
the water
and then when they get baptized they’re
going to be baptized with holy spirit
fire
he told me that 80 of his members
that he had pastored for years when they
got baptized and came up out of the
water
that the fire of god touched them and
hit them and immediately began
to speak in tongues they started
baptizing at 9 30 at night
and at 9 30 the next morning 12
hours of continuous baptism and people
were getting baptized with the holy
spirit
pentecostal people baptize the holy
spirit speaking in tongues as they came
up out of the water
now you told me
that there was a medical doctor
that did scientific tests about praying
in tongues and the immune system
a fascinating study that we uncovered
and discovered carl peterson
at oru did a study
on the effects of praying in the holy
spirit praying in tongues
and he came to the conclusion in his
research
that if you pray in tongues consistently
now the language that he uses is very
important
that that there are extended periods of
time in praying in tongues not just
one or two sentences once or twice a
week but extended times of praying in
tongues
that the immune system of that
individual
gets boost 35 to 40
percent 35 to 40 percent their immune
system gets activated
why because praying in tongues does
impact a part of the brain where your
immune system
is centered and that’s the hypothalamus
so they ran the test and found out that
that part of the brain is activated and
and functioning
at a high level when we pray in tongues
and it releases a
supernatural immunity in our bodies i’m
wondering if it does any other thing
when it gets towards beyond immunity
i have an idea there’s there’s more
things that are there’s a lot more i
agree now you
talk about use a phrase flipping
the switch explain flipping the switch
because people ask me all the time
i prayed in tongues at one time but i
don’t anymore
because i’m waiting on waiting on a
feeling i don’t feel it
i don’t know you know it’s not the same
i tell them it’s like walking into a
room
and you walk into the room and the light
is off but you flip the switch on and
the light comes on when you walk out of
the room
you flip the switch down and the light
goes off i
i tell people praying in tongues is no
different
when you pray in english your tongue is
connected to your brain
as i’m communicating to you sid
everything that i’m saying started right
here
and in a nanosecond it has made its way
through my mouth
and i and i give words to it now
praying in the holy ghost praying in
tongues is when my
tongue is connected to my spirit paul
says that when i pray in tongues my
spirit prays
so i have to learn the discipline of
flipping the switch
from praying in english to connecting my
tongue
to my spirit and the more you pray in
the spirit
the easier that becomes and you don’t
wait on a feeling
you don’t weigh on an emotion you don’t
wait when the worship music
is on it is as natural as breathing
you flip the switch from your head
to your spirit and then you give voice
to those words
coming out of your spirit
now many that are viewing right now

it’s hot you and i have both witnessed
there are methods that the enemy uses
to stop us from praying in tongues
because he realizes
this weapon means we’re praying
perfect prayers with perfect faith
and he goes hebrew word meshuggah
crazy uh what are some of the methods he
uses against
people for praying about praying in
tongues
well for one he he tells us that we’re
not making a difference
that what we’re doing is null and void
since we don’t understand it we’re
thinking he’s saying ah you’re just
wasting your time
everybody i know wants to have their
prayers answered
and every time we pray in the holy
spirit we pray the perfect will of god
so it stands to reason that the devil is
going to use
every means possible to keep us from
this
supernatural ability to communicate with
our heavenly father
absolutely so he works overtime
minimizing
it and maximizing us praying in english
when i pray in english i only pray what
i know
i’m limited but when i pray in the holy
spirit
it’s the possibilities are endless
because the spirit of god
prays perfectly through me the will of
god
okay tell me a few supernatural benefits
of praying in tongues
well one of those sid is you get to pray
the perfect will of god as we’ve said
already every single time
second of all it builds up your body
your structure
your spirit you become edified the bible
says when you pray in the holy ghost you
literally put on
spiritual muscles there may be a hundred
pound
93 year old woman in the in the physical
and she seems to be weak but in the
spirit if she prays in tongues
she’s a giant in the faith and she can
move
mountains
one of the greatest examples that i have
i have heard was with bob rogers said
that
i was on prayer mountain with him
getting ready to address
hundreds of pastors he was introducing
me and he shared the story
and he said on one particular day a few
decades ago
there were seven plane crashes that
killed
40 people now these were small aircraft
small planes
two or three people on board and he said
on this day
seven planes crashed 40 people died
my wife was awakened at 2 30 in the
morning
and she had no idea why she was being
awakened by the lord
and she said i’m going to get up and
pray well in her mind is limited so she
doesn’t
know what to pray she prays all she
knows in english and then kicked into
tongues
she began to pray in the holy ghost and
she didn’t get a release
she just felt that gnawing in her spirit
and after 30 minutes she finally
found peace and went back to sleep after
praying in the spirit for 30 minutes
well that morning bob rogers got into
his plane that he was piloting
a small aircraft had three system
failures
three system failures and crashed his
plane
his plane was the seventh plane that
crashed on that day
but he was the sole survivor he’s the
only one
that walked away and he told all those
pastors on prayer meeting he says
i’m here today because my wife got up in
the middle of the night
and pushed back the plan of the devil
against me who wanted to kill me
i’m alive because my wife prayed in
tongues
now i love the way you say
every area of your life your health
your job your family your
uh your relationship with people how do
you pray
so we’ll take one because i want you to
pray for
everyone to be filled with the holy
spirit speaking in tongues
how do you pray for your family using
the gift of tongues
you see i don’t know everything that’s
going on in my wife’s life
i don’t know what she’s going to face at
work i don’t know what’s going to happen
to her when she’s driving down the road
nor my children who may be bullied or
there may be someone texting and driving
coming down the road but the spirit of
god knows all things
so the spirit will move upon us to pray
for our people but if i don’t know how
to pray
then bad things can happen to my family
so here’s what i do this is the
suggestion that i ask that everybody
does
one take a picture of your family put on
your phone and have it in front of you
the first thing in the morning for
instance my wife i will have her
portrait in front of me
and i will pray for three minutes in
tongues for her
non-stop 180 seconds
praying in the holy ghost for her the
spirit of god knows exactly what she’s
going to face
that day the evil the calamity the good
things the possibilities the witness
opportunities the kingdom advances
and i will pray the perfect will of god
for her
then i will turn and i will pray for my
son the same way for three minutes
then i will pray for my next son three
minutes in
tongues all right now imagine this
sid if that happened in every person
and then we also prayed for our pastors
in tongues
three minutes a day i i think that that
is such a
simple doable
wonderful suggestion his book is filled
with things he’s experienced
and had such benefits from but
right now i’m going to release you
to pray for a supernatural
baptism in the holy spirit speaking in
tongues
todd pray you know jesus literally
wants you to speak in tongues because he
said the believing ones shall speak in
tongues
so how does this happen you have to
believe that jesus wants you to
experience this and he’s going to give
it to you right now
and i want you to flip the switch from
your mind
to your spirit man and release
the sounds from your spirit i’m going to
pray for you and then i’m going to the
command of faith and at that very moment
you’re going to no longer speak in your
native language no longer
in your english language but you’re
going to speak out of your spirit
don’t worry about what it sounds like it
may be a simple
syllable it may be just one word but
continue to release it
and god’s going to give you more and
more jesus christ
i love you i need you in my life
i want to be baptized with the holy
spirit
i know it’s a gift from you
by faith i receive your fullness
and i will speak in new tongues
baptize me with fire right now
in the name of jesus when i count to
three
right here right here connect
your tongue with your spirit
one two three right now
awesome release it begin to pray
in the holy ghost don’t worry about what
it sounds like from your
spirit
