1 Corinthians 14: the gift of tongues

We have a body - We have a mind

We have a spirit - this is where the gift of tongues operates

1Cor14:14

'For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful'.

What is is? It is no ordinary gift

How do I use it?

A way to edify yourself

(private prayer language 1 Cor 14:4)

A way to edify the body

(when the gift is interpreted 1 Cor 14:5)

A sign to the unbeliever;

(other languages Acts 2:11)

A sign of baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:6)

Way to worship (Acts 10:46)

Powerful weapon (Eph 6:18 ray in the Spirit)

How do I get it?

Matt 7:7

Ask Seek Knock

Childlike faith (Matthew 18:4)
