What does the Bible say about praying in tongues? Paul writes, “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful” (1 Corinthians 14:14).
When my natural mind says, “This doesn’t make sense,” I answer with the Word of God. My spirit is praying. Again in 1 Corinthians 14:4, Paul says the one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.
If you want to grow in prayer and in your relationship with Jesus, I’d love to welcome you into the Burning Truth Africa Family.
Give the Holy Spirit time to help you
I want to challenge you: spend one hour a day praying in other tongues for the next 30 days, allowing the Holy Spirit to help you. Put your mind on the things of the Spirit, spend time in the Word, and speak God’s truth over your life.
Your flesh may resist that hour. It may tell you that you’re wasting time or just babbling. But we can bring our thinking back to what the Bible says: our spirit prays, and we are built up as we pray in the Holy Spirit (Jude 20). I believe you’ll find more peace, a greater desire for the things of God, and a better understanding of His Word.
When the church gathers, Paul also teaches that public tongues should be interpreted so everyone can be edified (1 Corinthians 14:26–28).
