House of Prayer Part 6 - Prayer Languages | Andy Elmes | Sunday 29th Oct 2023

Today Pastor Andy continues the series on House of Prayer. This week he speaks on Prayer Languages. There are two different languages of prayer a believer can know. Pastor Andy speaks at length on these – namely praying in our own understanding (the language we use every day), and praying in tongues (praying in the Holy Spirit). 

As Pentecostals, we believe that God enables us to pray with another prayer language. We don't believe speaking in tongues is a sole evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit - many Christians who don't pray in the Holy Spirit live most  beautiful spiritual lives. Also some Christians who pray a lot in the spirit live very ugly lives! Speaking in tongues or heavenly language that the Holy Spirit makes available to every believer is an evidence, but not the evidence of the Holy Spirit. 

Speaking in tongues is something God wants us to enjoy. We believe that what was given and demonstrated in the early church in the book of Acts can be a believer's experience today. Why? Because we're a part of the same church which Jesus opened 2000 years ago. Pastor Andy continues to explain some of the main aspects of praying with our own understanding and praying in the Spirit. 

Listen to this podcast to hear exciting news about how we are all able to pray in tongues. Towards the end, Pastor Andy also discusses aspects associated with the Spiritual gift of Tongues and how and when this is used.
