Sometimes new ideas and experiences consume us to the point that we can lose sight of the big picture, and tongues can be a bit like that. We can become so consumed with TONGUES that we lose sight of the real reason why The Helper gives the church power: to be able to live victoriously over sin and preach boldly that others can, too. The how behind the what of a prayer language isn't a formula or a class called "Tongues 101." Instead, the key to this gift - like all other gifts from The Helper - is living a life of total surrender.
