so every time you find in the book of

acts

when someone is baptized in the holy

spirit they always

speak in tongues one time the apostle

paul passed by a group of people

and he asked them have you received the

holy ghost and the bible says they were

disciples they were believers in christ

have you received the holy spirit he

asked them now today

that is not the question we ask people

after we see that they are saved we

don’t ask them have you received the

holy spirit

because it is insulting to many

denominations to suggest

that to ask the question have you

received the holy spirit’s insulting

yet i think it’s in acts 16

19 i knew it’s either 16 or 19. so look

at pastor henry our walking encyclopedia

in acts 19 if you look at it the bible

says paul

passed by a certain region and then he

found

disciples the word there’s disciples

these are believers in christ christians

and he asked them the question have you

received the holy spirit since you

believed

so they said we never heard of anything

called the holy spirit

so unto what baptism were you baptized

oh john’s baptism

well jesus said what you’ll be baptized

with the holy spirit

and then the bible says he prayed for

them laid hands on them and they

received the holy spirit and what was

the evidence those of you on the page

they spoke with tongues and prophesied

right

so we can we don’t want to compromise

just because

some denominations uh of the persuasion

that tongues have ceased

all right we don’t want to compromise

because our standard is the bible

can never go to a man you know they will

say that we are also baptized in the

holy spirit it’s one thing to have

drunk some water it’s another thing that

when you

jump into the swimming pool

one is the water is in you determine

that you are in the water

let me understand once you receive jesus

christ the holy spirit is resident in

you

but once you’re baptized in the holy

spirit the holy spirit is precedent

over you and you want him to control

your life

pastor lian

she shared last night

that to some of some of us

pastors that uh you know one of the

things that she finds when she prays in

tongues she prays in the holy spirit

for seasons you know you don’t have to

pray out loud all the time you can pray

under undertones you know the whole day

as you are doing your work even at work

and all that pray

in tongues undertones and she says that

she one time she was doing that a lot

and she came to church

and she felt like giving up her seat for

one particular lady

she just felt prompted so she got up she

asked the lady to take her seat

so the lady took her seat and

she didn’t know why she did that all

right

this happened only a few weeks ago the

lady wrote to her and said that she

it was her first time to church at that

point in time she was not a christian

wasn’t a believer and she was suffering

from some sort of physical condition

that makes it very painful for her to be

sitting on the floor and when pastor

leanne did that she didn’t know who

pastillian was

she felt the love of god for her of all

the people

of course a few ushers came to her and

said this is pastor leon’s

you’re not supposed to sit down here

okay ushers don’t do that anymore okay

don’t just do your job be led by the

spirit as well amen

and uh by the way she got saved that

lady got saved not on the same

sunday last sunday she was one of those

who came forward

and got saved now amazing

when somebody does things by the spirit

not knowing why

smith wigglesworth who raised more than

10 people from the dead he’s just an

english plumber

so here’s a good example of someone who

is not educated and yet

he says he prays in tongues a lot the

moment he gets in the morning his feet

touch the floor he’s

speaking in tongues and he says

for all those of you who are wondering

what’s the benefit of this language

well let me just reason let come let’s

reason together would god

on the most important day the day of

pentecost of all the gifts

all right of all the things that god

could have done god gave them the

baptism holy spirit speaking in tongues

would would you for one moment think

that god would give them something

they will not benefit them glorify

christ magnify god

so whatever the reasoning that people

have for not speaking in tongues

all right it is not coming to the level

of god’s

word and god’s personal opinion about it

you know if god tells me every day if

you climb

that tree over there you have power to

overcome the devil and all his

temptations power to heal the sick

power to be a blessing to mankind and a

blessing to yourself and your family

you know what i’ll climb that tree i

don’t care what denomination tell me

what i’m going to climb the tree every

day

amen if god tells me look into the

mirror every day and slap yourself three

times

on the face all right and you’ll be very

you’ll be super healthy

hey man i don’t care i’m going to slap

my face three times but how many

god doesn’t ask you to do this kind of

thing

god doesn’t even say you must go to

jerusalem to receive the baptism holy

spirit

i’m glad that god gives us a gift and

and and for reasons

that i’ve shared before plus reasons

only known to him it is a gift

of a language you don’t even know of to

save you

from knowing everything you pray because

you

don’t want to know everything you pray

like i said before

if you’re praying for somebody you love

your child or whatever the whole of next

week she’s not going to school

if you’re praying for a dangerous

situation with a child right so it’s

best we do not know

the future it’s best we do not know the

things we are praying

amen and there are people

even believers from other places who are

against me

and for what i believe in preaching the

greatest gospel

amen i hope they pray for me in tongues

and not pray psychic prayers where they

are coming against you know we we

render power we bind pastor prince

whatever you know

those are psychic prayers god never give

gave prayers

for you to come against people right

prayer is directed to god

amen binding is the devil and his works

so sometimes you feel an oppression when

actually it’s because of people praying

for you charismatic people praying you

rather they pray in tongues

because when you cannot pray in tongues

selfishly

that’s why you do not know your prayer

if you pray in english you can pray

selfishly

and all the while none of us have come

to the place where we know how to pray

perfectly

therefore our prayers smack off

selfishness

and the lying hidden agendas

but you cannot pray in the holy spirit

except according to the will of god and

whatever we know that if we ask anything

according to his will

he hears us amen

so the the biggest problem the body of

christ today is that

uh charismatics who are baptized in the

spirit see it as a

as a sign all right that they are

baptized

and that’s it but they don’t exercise

that gift now many

times they exercise the gift when they

come to church and that was the problem

in the church of korean where paul wrote

trying to control the gift of tongues

now gift of tongues

not everybody have the gift of tongues

mentioned in first corinthians

14 12 and all that where he talks about

if you don’t have an interpreter

keep quiet now that’s the gift of

tongues all of us

have the sign that jesus said in mark

and these signs will follow those that

believe

all right one of the signs is that they

shall speak with new tongues our lord

jesus said that

these signs will follow the believers

didn’t say pastors believers didn’t say

apostles or prophets

believers one of the biggest signs is

what they shall speak with new tongues

straight after that they shall take up

serpents they become

immune they drink any deadly thing it

should not hurt them

speaking in tongues makes you super

natural

so that is the prayer language that

every believer should have
