WHEN YOU BECOME TOO BIG FOR GOD (part 1)

This is a true life story of a guy about 22year old, he became too big for God because of the gospel truth, hear him in his own words.....After i understood the gospel and the fact that i am a son of God, joint heir with christ, seated in heavenly places, i have the God head living in me, that i am already blessed through christ jesus, i loved it, i was happy, really happy, it's a done deal, i said to myself "i don't need to pray and ask God for anything"....this was where i missed it, i communicated even less with God, it got to a time i didn't even talk to God at all, i believe all has been done (which is true) and this made me acknowledge God less in my ways and dealing, it made me lazy...

PRAYING IN TONGUES (THE FOUNDATION)

first of all, as a believers, we have the holy spirit dwelling in us, after we believed and accepted the payment of our sins by our lord Jesus Christ, we're automatically recieve the holyspirit in our hearts. "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise," (Ephesians 1:13). "who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee." (2 Corinthians 1:22). "Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5) Many people think it is when they are prayed upon to recieve the holy spirit, that is when they recieve it, scriptures have showed that our bodies is the temple of God and we have the holy spirit dwelling in us. "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16).

PRAYING IN TONGUES HOW?

Now that we understand that we have the holy spirit indwelling in us, let talk about praying in tongues. praying in tongues is speaking in an unknown tongue (to men) and known (to God). Praying in tongues help us pray in accordance to God's WILL, it edifies and builds us. "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God." (Romans 8:26-27). Praying in tongues is not hard, all u have to do is 1- believe that u have the holy spirit in you and begin to speak. 2- Your mind will tell u that it is not making sense at all, don't listen to your mind, just keep on speaking, 3-you may be saying only one word, don't stop, just continue because u grow from there. 4- whenever you want to pray, pray in tongues and do it everytime you want to commune with God and you'll be more sensitive to the spirit. Once u desire to truly speak in tongues, the holy spirit will help u, u are not alone in this, God is with you all the way. "Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy." (1 Corinthians 14:1).
