Hi Nancy,Interesting, I will have to re-read your post...have not thought of it that way before. I so wish to be able to pray in tongues as sometimes I'm overwhelmed with prayer as there are so many to pray for and about. I have prayed for this gift, but to be honest (of course!) I always believed that tongues were actual human languages. I can see both sides here...something tells me that tongues of other languages are most likely used to reach other Nations so as to preach in their own language so they can understand what is spoken. Personally, the praying in tongues kind of scares me, lol.
Good post, food for thought!
I likewise have not received the gift of tongues, though I may know the reason, that God desires of me to be more spiritual in praying with understanding, and is strengthening my inner man with that discipline.
Much love!
