**************************************************************************************

Diversities of Tongues In God’s Government

**************************************************************************************

We’ve seen that the diversities of tongues is an entire

operation of God placed into God’s government to serve

a crucial purpose. To deny it is to deny the perfecting of

the Body of Christ.

So let’s find out more about the role of diversities of

tongues in God’s government and the reason God would

designate an entire operation to it. I want you to

understand what He has made available to us through

this awesome gift of speaking with tongues — a gift that

Satan has deceived many into believing is either

obsolete or insignificant.

*********************************************************

The Unique Nature Of Diversities of Tongues

**************************************************************************************

There is only one operation we can fulfill immediately

after we are born again: the eighth operation of

diversities of tongues. The moment we receive Jesus as

Savior, we can also receive the baptism of the Holy

Spirit and begin to speak with other tongues, which

begins our spiritual qualification for any and all of the

other operations to which we may be called.

A person cannot become a mighty apostle or prophet

five minutes after he is born again even if that is what

he is called to be. He first must become qualified,

trained, prepared, and seasoned by the Holy Spirit

before God will separate him to the office he is called

to.

That’s true with any of the first seven operations listed

in First Corinthians 12:28. Not everyone is qualified to

teach God’s Word. You can tell that by the people who

nod off to sleep while some ministers teach! A person

can’t immediately enter into a full-blown ministry oper-

ating in the working of miracles or gifts of healings

either.

In every one of the first seven operations, including

helps and governments, a person must first be found

faithful and receive the equipping of the Holy Ghost

before he can fulfill the operation to which he is called.

On the other hand, a person can move into the eighth

operation instantaneously with his rebirth.

Suppose the person responds to an altar call and says,

“I receive Jesus as Savior.” Then someone steps up and

says to him, “You just received God’s nature. Now you

need to be filled with the Holy Ghost.”

He asks, “What are you talking about?” He learns that

because his spirit just became the receptor of a new

nature, he is now able to receive the baptism of the

Holy Spirit. “Yes, I’d like to be filled with the Holy

Ghost,” he says.

 

“Then receive the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Father.”

All of a sudden, the person’s chin starts shaking. “Speak

it out,” he is instructed. His mouth starts forming

words, and soon he is speaking in tongues. He dances

around for days, speaking in his new language with

great joy.

Why did God design it that way? Why are tongues

available to us instantaneously with our rebirth?

Because praying in tongues has everything to do with

our becoming prepared and qualified for our particular

calling. And as we pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit is

able to build into our heart the understanding of God’s

will for our personal lives.

Sometimes people get the baptism of the Holy Ghost

mixed up with the new birth. However, there is a great

difference between being born again and receiving the

indwelling fullness of the Holy Spirit’s Presence.

The Holy Spirit is a Person just as each of us is a person.

When we were born again, we received Him in the

creative process that caused us to become new

creations. But we didn’t receive Him in His fullness

until we were baptized in the holy ghost. Now he lives

inside us, partnering with us in prayer, empowering

our lives, and bringing revelation of the word as we

walk in obedience to god

It is Gods will that the moment we are born again, we

lift our hands in submission and praise to receive the

baptism of the Holy Spirit. that’s the very best way be

filled with the Holy Spirit. But the dEVIL has managed

to separate the new birth from the baptism of the Holy

Spirit through divisions of doctrines so that now, as a

rule, the two experiences don’t occur together.

DAVE ROBERSON

(LB) MANY CHURCHES NOW DON’T EVEN TEACH THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ANYMORE, ALL THE YEARS I WAS IN TRAVELING MINISTRY, EVEN THE SO CALLED SPIRIT FILLED CHURCHES HAD A LARGE PERCENTAGE THAT WERE NOT FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OR HAD BEEN BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED THEIR PRAYER LANGUAGE.

AS ONE OF THE 3 FOUNDATION STONES OF OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES, ITS NOT TO HARD TO SEE WHY THE MAJORITY OF THE CHURCH IS SOOOO WEAK AND POWERLESS, THEY HAVE REJECTED THE VERY POWER OF GOD TO WORK IN THEIR LIVES, GOD HELP US.

UNTIL NEXT TIME REMEMBER:

THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES US EVERYTHING WE CANNOT DISCERN, HE SHOWS US MYSTERIES AND DIVINE SECRETS WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GOD AND HIS WAYS, HE IS…….OUR FIRST AND FOREMOST TEACHER
