PRAYING IN TOUNGES

and Unlocking Wisdom

of God
One of the important reason, How Paul was able to write half of New Testament, which has
lot of revelation?

Paul himself, gave a hint in the verse…

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 1 cor 14:18 NIV
 Do a believer know the answers for all of their problems/challenges/questions they face in
day to day affairs of life?

Yes. Our Spirit man has answers.… ( not the natural mind)

Our Spirit man has All Wisdom

 
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the
riches of God's grace, that he lavished on us, With all wisdom and understanding, he made known
to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
( Ephesians 1:7,8 NIV)

(Verse 8 NLT Version say.. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and
understanding.
 
Our Spirit man has Mind of Christ
 For, “Who can know the LORD’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we
understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 NLT

Our Spirit man know all Truth

 
New King James Version
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1 John 2:20

Good News Translation

But you have had the Holy Spirit poured out on you by Christ, and so all of you know the
truth.
Amplified Bible
But you have an anointing from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specially gifted and
prepared by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the truth because He teaches us,
illuminates our minds, and guards us from error].

 What we are doing when we speak in tongues?

 
 1 Cor 14:2
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter
mysteries by the Spirit.

Mystery: divine revelation ; beyond human understanding

 1 cor 2:7 KJB

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our
glory:

We speak the Wisdom of God( Which has answer to all problem) .But its wrapped in mystery, which we cannot
understand. Eg.. In computer terminology..we can say… its like a answer key encrypted so that it cannot be
understood.

 What is the difference between Speaking in Tongues and its interpretation vs Gift of
Speaking Different Tongues and Gift of Interpretation of Tongues?

Speaking in Tongues and its Interpretation is available to every born again and Holy Spirit filled believer (as
mentioned in chapter 1 Cor 14:13). This is for their own benefit, to speak hidden wisdom and to unlock the
hidden wisdom for their own benefit and understanding.

Whereas the Gift of Speaking Different Kinds of Tongues and Gift of Interpretation is a special Gift of the
Holy Spirit ( mentioned in 1 Cor 12:11 as part of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit). This gift is manifested by the
Holy Spirit to individual person for certain specific purpose and it’s mostly given to servants of God to stand
and function in their office called and anointed by God.

Not every one gets the gift of Speaking in different Tongues, it’s the Holy Spirit distributes..
1 Cor 12:11 All these things [the gifts, the achievements, the abilities, the empowering] are brought about
by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, distributing to each one individually just as He chooses.

 Eg.. Faith, Heaing etc
