The Link Between Tongues

And Revelation Knowledge

But what did Paul do that was so different from anyone

else who was filled with the Holy Spirit in his day?

Other apostles were called; they had the same Holy

Ghost. What caused Paul to be more equipped and gave

him access to more revelation knowledge than any

other man alive?

In studying and meditating on all the Pauline epistles, I

have found a common link between the revelation

knowledge that Paul understood and established in his

life and something he did.

Paul made this key statement in First Corinthians

14:18:

I thank my God, I SPEAK WITH

——————————————————————————————————–

TONGUES MORE

———————————————————–

THAN YE ALL.

—————————————————

Now wait a minute, Paul. Let’s get all the Corinthians

and line them up for a survey.

“Hello, Father Corinthian, how much are you praying?”

“Oh, on the way to work on my camel.”

“Okay. How about you, Mother Corinthian?”

“Well, I pray as I take my bread out of the oven.”

“Oh, really.”

Paul probably didn’t conduct such a survey;

nevertheless, he could truthfully say, “I thank God I

speak in that supernatural language of edification that

encompasses the entire revelation of Jesus Christ more

than you all.”

Do you think it was a coincidence that, number one,

Paul operated in more revelation knowledge than

anyone else of his day; and, number two, he prayed in

tongues for personal edification more than any other

Holy Ghost-filled person in the Corinthian church? No!

I can guarantee you it wasn’t coincidental.

There is a spiritual link between tongues and revelation

knowledge. As I said earlier, tongues is the dividing line

between those who walk in the miraculous and those

who don’t. This also seems to be the dividing line for

the reception of revelation knowledge.

Paul prayed in tongues more than any other man,

woman, or child in the Corinthian church — probably

more than any other man alive in the church world of

that day. And Paul was responsible for three-fourths of

the revelation knowledge contained in the New

Testament that constitutes the foundation of the

Church.

Where did Paul get such astounding revelation

knowledge? Well, what do you think he was doing as he

walked through the wilderness and from city to city?

What did he fill his days with during those long hours

of travel?

He spent hour after hour after hour communicating the

mysteries of Christ before God. And God answered his

prayers, bringing him into the fullness of his divine call

as the apostle to the Gentiles as He caused the

revelation of Christ to be born in his spirit — so much

so that Paul orchestrated the entire foundation of the

Early Church!

I can just imagine him walking down the dusty road,

speaking in tongues. His camel driver asks, “What did

you say, Paul?” Paul replies, “I’m not talking to you.”

Then at night, Paul pitches his tent and falls asleep. All

of a sudden he is awakened. The Holy Spirit is revealing

another mystery to him. He grabs his quill and inkwell

and starts writing a letter to one of the churches as fast

as he can.

God thought so much of Paul’s letters that He made

them a permanent part of His Word; now we call them

the Pauline epistles. Contained within those epistles are

divine secrets —the mysteries that were once hidden in

God but that now lie recorded in that Bible on your

shelf.

The Holy Spirit revealed to Paul those mysteries of the

Gospel as an apostle “born out of due time” (1 Cor.

15:8). He wasn’t taught as the other twelve who had

fellowshiped personally with Jesus. What he received

from God came by direct revelation.

After fifteen years, Paul conferred with those who had

been made apostles before him. Later he said, “They

added nothing to me. Quite the contrary, it seems that

the apostleship of ministry to the Gentiles has been

committed unto me” (Gal. 2:6,7).

(LB) Well this is a most important part of this whole truth about praying in tongues.

And it is so true about the direct link between praying in the Spirit and revelation

knowledge.

One time I was in Rwanda, Africa on a mission trip and was sitting at a round table

with maybe 10 or so other believers, as we were praying in the spirit, a lady who

spoke French as well as English told me after we were done that I had said several

times in a row in perfect French (a language that I don’t know at all ).

COMMUNICATION CONNECTION WITH GOD

COMMUNICATION CONNECTION WITH GOD

I said WOW, AND I IMMEDIATELY KNEW IN MY SPIRIT, THAT IT MEANT PRAYING IN TONGUES…WAS THE COMMUNICATION AND THE CONNECTION WITH GOD.
