SO to all how have said yes to tongues. Have you ever combined it with fasting. And did you see a bigger difference when combined? I believe this is very important. This is what really puts the flesh to death for good.
No never have.
I did have a year back in the 80's when God would wake me up at 4am on the dot. Every singe day for a whole year.
I would get out of bed knowing I was meting with the Lord.
I went into the other room and prayed in tongues for three hours until 7am ..when my hubby would be getting up...
That year was wonderful...and I did find that my mind was tuned sharply to God's voice all day. I could also discern sharply the things of the Spirit and the things of the flesh.
But, as we know, all things in God are " times and seasons"...nothing yet, is forever . After a year...the Lord no longer woke me up at 4am.
I wanted it...so I set my alarm for 4am. Notice the "I" set "my".....it was me not God. I got sleepily out of bed for two days and went into the other room...when I walked in I knew God Presence was not there.
( there is a difference between God being always with us, and God's felt Presence being with us) His heavy glorious Presence was not there.
For two days I prayed for those three hours 'til 7am.
But again..."I" prayed , it was not the Spirit's anointing praying through me.
I then gave up...it was only for that year...God's time.
Bless you...Helen
