Benifits of Speaking In Tongues Notes Page The lyrics for this song come from a list of benefits of speaking in tongues that are taught in the Foundational Class of The Way of Abundance and Power, which is a class on biblical research and spiritual edification produced by The Way International. The Foundational Class of the Way of Abundance and Power series is the first of three classes that focus on many biblical truths, but primarily center around the nine manifestations of the gift of holy spirit. These nine, (which are listed in I Corinthians 12:8 -10) consist of speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, word of prophecy, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discerning of spirits, believing, healing, and miracles. The Foundational class deals with speaking in tongues. Contrary to popular belief, genuine speaking in tongues does not consist of rattlesnake holding, emotional outbursts, or getting pushed to the ground by a televangelist. To speak in tongues does not mean that God has possessed you. There is a saying in the Way Ministry that explains this very well: "What you speak is God's business; but that you speak is your business." This means that you are in complete control of yourself when you are speaking in a language unknown to you (as it is referred to in I Corinthians 14). There are so many benefits and purposes to speaking in tongues stated in this class, and most of them are listed in this song. Here are some of them: 1. Speaking in tongues is to edify you. (I Corinthians 14:4) 2. Speaking in tongues is to magnify God. (Acts 10:46) 3. Speaking in tongues is rest to the soul 4. Speaking in tongues is the proof of God's ressurection of Jesus Christ from the dead and of the ascension (Acts 2:32-33) 5. Speaking in tongues quickens, or refreshes, the mortal body (Romans 8:11) 6. Speaking in tongues is to speak the wonderful works of God (Acts 2:11) For those of you who would like to learn how to play the "Benefits of Speaking In Tongues", you can find the guitar chords for it by clicking here. |
