(Speaking In Tongues Helps Forfend Danger)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:2 AMP
“For one who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to people but to God; for no one understands him or catches his meaning, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries [secret truths, hidden things].”

LET’S TALK
A certain young girl was walking home one day when a gang of kidnappers grabbed her and dragged her into their van. She immediately started speaking in tongues. They yelled at her to stop and threatened to kill her, but she kept praying stronger and louder.

To her utter amazement, not long afterwards, the ten armed men suddenly threw away their weapons and fled. They ran away from one unarmed young girl.

What did they see? What made them flee? Only God knows. But our opening verse says, “One who speaks in tongues does not speak to people, but to God” (1 Corinthians 14:2 AMP).

On another occasion, a truck driver was speeding down the road when, suddenly, his brakes failed, and his truck started hurtling dangerously towards a young guy.

A fatal accident seemed inevitable, and the driver closed his eyes, expecting the worst to happen. When the vehicle ground to a halt, he opened his eyes, only to discover the young guy was still standing, unscathed.

Quickly, he alighted from his truck and said, “Young man, I thought I hit you.” The young man said, “No, you didn’t; as you came close, the power of God picked me up in the air. When your truck sped past, the power of God brought me back down.”

Then the young man narrated how, before he came out that day, he had been speaking in tongues until his whole body was saturated with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, when danger came, the power of God lifted him over and above the hazard.

The blessings and benefits of speaking in tongues are much more than you can imagine.

The utterance may sound foolish or unintelligible to you or anyone listening to you, but that’s where the power is. Glory to God!

Dear Father, as I speak in tongues today, I align myself with your perfect will; my life is transformed and I’m empowered by the Holy Spirit, walking in victory in every area of my life. Thank you Lord, for the supernatural protection and safety, transcendent blessings and benefits of speaking in tongues.
