I don't have a choreographed set piece, rather, I move my body in the way that the Holy Spirit compels. Whenever I attempt to speak in tongues my voice is different; I suddenly adopt a cockney accent and become cross-eyed, so I am too ashamed to do so among others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525024318966536302.post-16343956602564743592011-09-01T15:05:53.240+01:002011-09-01T15:05:53.240+01:00Maybe fellow writer.

For years I used to speak in tongues 'in my mind' because it just felt too odd to be saying these things out loud. <br /><br />Also, efua, yeah don't feel inadequate about the speaking in tongues thing. Relax. When you feel ready for it, ask and the Holy Spirit will give it to you. It's a gift. The onus is on the giver to do the giving.authorsoundsbetterthanwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609155125543070073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525024318966536302.post-40439022382918126612011-08-31T23:28:26.055+01:002011-08-31T23:28:26.055+01:00Chibundu...thanks for sharing this.

At 15, I felt so unchristian when I was surrounded by people speaking in tongues and I couldnt. I resorted to faking it and I made my dad so proud when he found out I 'spoke in tongues'... lol I wasnt so proud of this achievement and I stopped after a while.<br />I've heard some say its ok to fake it till you get it but am not very comfortable with that so am just going to relax about it. Its good to know that there are other gifts to be sought after other than speaking in tongues, am so unto them now :-))) <br />its the Ewe girl, Efua!Eclectic J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00435909578529086813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525024318966536302.post-1978675748610343182011-08-28T03:52:32.145+01:002011-08-28T03:52:32.145+01:00AMEN!

Whenever I'm praying, and it almost wants to come out, I stop. One thing I'm cautious of, and I've always wondered about is this: If every language on earth was represented where I am, and I start speaking in tongues, will one of them be able to say...WOW, he's speaking my language?
