Just before Jesus left his disciples, he made a profound promise: the Holy Spirit would come and empower them (Acts 1:8).
.
True to His word, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the 120 gathered disciples, something extraordinary happened – they all spoke in tongues (Acts 2:4 NKJV).
.
Even the renowned apostle Paul, a key figure in the early Christian church, embraced the gift of tongues.
.
In 1 Corinthians 14:18, he expresses gratitude, stating that he speaks in tongues more than anyone else in the church.
.
In another instance, Paul encountered new followers in Ephesus who were unaware of the Holy Spirit.
.
After laying hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they too spoke in tongues and prophesied (Acts 19:6 NKJV).
.
The message is clear: the gift of tongues is not exclusive to a select few; it is available to all who believe in Jesus.
.
In Mark 16:17, Jesus himself declared that speaking in new tongues is a sign that will follow those who believe in Him.
.
So, if you love Jesus, know that the extraordinary ability to speak in tongues is a gift waiting for you.
.
It’s a manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s presence, a unique language of connection between believers and God.
.
Embrace this powerful gift that transcends language barriers and draws you closer to the divine.
