The Gifts of the Spirit: The Gift of Tongues Day 5 - Desiring and Receiving the Gift of Tongues

Awakened to Deliver – Different Kinds of Tongues Week 31, Day 5: Desiring and Receiving the Gift of Tongues Key Verse: Luke 11:13 (NASB 2020) “So if you, despite being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” ⸻ Episode Highlights • The gift of tongues is available to every believer who has been called to Jesus. • God gives spiritual gifts to those who ask in faith and yield to His Spirit. • Receiving tongues is not about earning—it’s about openness, hunger, and trust. • There’s no single method to receive the gift—just a consistent pattern of faith and surrender. • Tongues bypass the intellect, allowing your spirit to pray mysteries to God. • Fear, pride, and tradition often block believers from receiving this gift. • Personal prayer in tongues is different from the public ministry gift with interpretation. • The Father will never give a counterfeit when you sincerely ask for what’s in His Word. • This gift is not about hype—it’s about intimacy and spiritual strength. ⸻ Scriptures to Reflect On • Luke 11:13 – God gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask. • Acts 2:39 – The promise is for all whom the Lord calls. • Acts 10:44–46 – The Spirit falls and they speak in tongues. • Acts 19:6 – Paul lays hands and believers speak in tongues and prophesy. • 1 Corinthians 14:1 – Earnestly desire spiritual gifts. • 1 Corinthians 14:5 – Paul wishes all would speak in tongues. • Matthew 7:9–11 – God gives good gifts, not harmful ones, to His children. ⸻ Takeaway Thought The gift of tongues isn’t for a select few—it’s for every believer who hungers for more of God. Your heavenly Father delights in giving His Spirit to those who ask. Lay aside fear, doubt, and tradition. Ask in faith, yield your tongue to the Spirit, and let the rivers of living water flow. Tongues will strengthen your walk, deepen your intimacy with God, and equip you for spiritual battles you cannot fight in your own strength.
