It took great faith for Peter to believe in the unseen power of God to do something unnatural and strange, which is a lot like speaking in tongues.

Speaking in tongues boils down to making a choice based on faith. If we do not have the faith, we will not make the choice. If we do have the faith, speaking in tongues is simple because God does the hard part. He gives the words.

While Satan cannot block God’s blessings, he does deceive us into erecting our own obstacles, which must be overcome or removed.

Praying in the Spirit is not gibberish. Rather, God gives us words that come directly from him with no issues of impure motivation or poor understanding of his will.

When we pray in the Spirit, we can be sure that we pray exactly in agreement with God’s will, since the words come directly from the Spirit.

The Bible says that the evidence of the baptism in the Spirit is speaking in tongues and prophecy.

The baptism in the Spirit is when the Holy Spirit comes “upon” us to equip and empower us for ministry.

Peace can only come through total victory. That is why the God of peace calls us to war.
