Speaking in tongues is one of the sigins of the New Creation


                         
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they  shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover ( Mark 16:17-18).”
After His resurrection, and just before He disciples a rundown of the characteristic features of those who would believe on His Name. He mentioned speaking in other tongues as one of the identifying signs of the believers: “and these signs shall follow them that believe…they shall speak with new tongues…”
This is a blessing that belongs to every Christian. If the Lord cared enough to include it in the scriptures as one of the signs of the new creation then it goes to show how important it is. When a man is born again, the Bible says that he is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and speaking in tongues is one of the signs by which he will be identified. When you received the Holy Spirit into your life, you also received a new language, a heavenly language with which to communicate with your heavenly Father. It’s called the language of the Spirit. This is one of the blessings of the new creation in Christ Jesus.
The Old Testament folks couldn’t speak in the tongues. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and even the great Solomon didn’t have the ability to speak in tongues because it was a blessing reserved only for the new creation in Christ Jesus. We’re the generation with the ability to speak in this new heavenly tongue as the Holy Spirit gives us utterance.
 There’re folks who out of ignorance criticize speaking in tongues. Refuse to listen to them. Believe what the word says: speaking in tongues is God’s wonderful blessing and gift to the   Church; avail yourself of its wonderful benefits always.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
