  • When You're Not Sure the Holy Spirit is With You - 3 years ago
    Comment to Terrt__

    John 3, has everything you need to get started.

    After receiving Jesus as your Lord, Then He baptises you with the promise of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

    One of Holy Spirits ministry is to be your Teacher in all things concerning Jesus. He helps you to pray rightly. He helps you to understand what you read in the Bible.

    When we are new in Jesus we may not be ready to receive speaking in tongues. It is for to rest in Jesus, and be His beloved child.

    To fast track what the Holy Spirit does, it may be easier to Google: Ministry of the Holy Spirit to Believers.

    He gives the gifts and operations as you are ready to receive them. It also means quieting yourself, and just sitting before Him; in an attitude of quiet and listening. You may think of a Church song you love: sing it. "Enter His gates with praise."

    A barrier to hearing, is the constant pollution of a tv on in the background. We do that because we don't like our thought life. Holy Spirit is not going to shout revelation, over the noise of the world from tv. He waits for us to quiet ourselves.

    Songs I may sing to Jesus: Nothing But the Blood of Jesus; Jesus Loves Me; I have decided to follow Jesus; I walk the line by Johnny Cash. Be Exalted,O God.

    [Praise songs will fire up prayer life]

    God inhabits our praises and angels hearken to our praises and spoken scriptures.

    I was reading your post. This may be a weird question, but is it possible to pray silently in tongues? I have been spending time in prayer and words that I don't know came to mind as I was praying. I have never spoken in tongues and have no experience with that spiritual gift. I went to church growing up, but over the past six months I have been really studying the Bible. I still have so much to learn. I appreciate any information or experience anyone else has with this. I was always taught in church that you should not speak in tongues unless you have an interpreter. No one at church ever spoke in tongues. (Grew up in a very conservative church). I feel like the church has forgotten the gifts and the power of the Holy Ghost.

    A few months ago I was praying to the Lord about that status of our world and he pressed upon me "Do not be afraid I will not forsake thee." I feel so much peace and gratitude. Thanks in advance for any scripture suggestions or experiences with this. I have started reading ACTS again and Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.

    This may be a weird question, but is it possible to pray silently in tongues? This is not a weird question; you can pray silently in tongues. As for praying silently in tongues if the Holy Ghost wants to pray aloud let it. I have been in church many times and spoke in tongues aloud and even prayed in tongues aloud with no interpreter, which seemed a little weird to me, but a brother or sister would come to me after church and tell me that's just what they were seeking for or that was an answer to their prayer. Tongues is a gift from God use it the way the Holy Ghost wants you to, if you are not sure the spirit will urge you the more you hold it in the more powerful the urge gets. When you are alone with God in prayer and tongues come upon you this is the Holy Ghost praying, the Holy Ghost knows what you have need of more than you do. So let the Holy Ghost speak freely in your life, no on the job training and no experience needed.

    God Bless

    stay prayed up and ready to go up

    Fl Mom Just one more point the reason it is not done because people don't believe its needed, in my opinion

    we need a much Gods Inspired help as we can believe to receive. His Gift will continue to work and energize you.

    P.S. If you do it outloud do it alone or people will think your nuts and rightly so because that's not the way God

    intended it to be used.

    Dear Florida Mom,

    You are on the right path there, girl! The Spirit will lead you. I think that reading Acts and the four gospels is really a great strategy at this point. You will learn anew of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit. You will draw nearer to our Father as His beloved child. I pray that you will grow in leaps and bounds.
