He Who Speaks In An unknown Tongue Does Not Speak To Men But To God
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 14:1-4, Acts 2:4
This month we want to see the importance of the prayer language and what God intends us to
gain by using it! 1 Corinthians 14:1-4 states, “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but
especially that you may prophesy. 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. But he who
prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. He who speaks in a tongue
edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.” The Holy Spirit-inspired prayer
language of Acts 2:4 has several distinct purposes, “And they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” First, when
we choose to pray in tongues, we exercise communication between us and God\’s Spirit, “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…He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself…”
Do it now in prayer: He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself… Edify yourself
