Why did God give believers the gift of speaking in tongues?Concerning Tongues: The Promise of the Father and the Power of the Saints by Curry R. Blake is an extensive biblical teaching on the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, spiritual prayer, interpretation, intercession, and Spirit-filled Christian living.Speaking in tongues remains one of the most discussed and debated spiritual gifts within Christianity. Some believers regard it as an essential part of Spirit-filled life. Others question its purpose, its proper use, or whether it continues today.In this audiobook, Curry R. Blake presents his biblical understanding of the subject through Scripture, practical teaching, historical examples, personal testimonies, and ministry experience.The teaching explores:• The promise of the Father• The baptism of the Holy Spirit• Speaking in other tongues• Tongues as a sign• Direct prayer and communication with God• Tongues for personal edification• Tongues as spiritual rest and refreshing• Tongues and faith• Tongues and interpretation• Tongues in corporate worship• Tongues and intercession• Praying when you do not know what to pray• Groaning and travailing in prayer• Tongues of men and angels• Diversities and different kinds of tongues• Developing a consistent spiritual prayer life• Practical application of spiritual giftsThe audiobook distinguishes between private prayer in tongues and the public use of tongues within a church gathering.Private prayer is examined in connection with worship, spiritual strengthening, edification, and intercession.Public tongues are considered alongside biblical instructions concerning interpretation, order, and the edification of the gathered Church.Scriptural passages examined include Luke 11, John 7, John 14–16, Acts 1–2, Mark 16, Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 2, 1 Corinthians 12–14, Isaiah 28, and Jude 20.A central emphasis of this teaching is that the Word and the Spirit should operate together. Biblical teaching without spiritual life can become dry, while spiritual activity without scriptural foundation can move into confusion and excess.This audiobook is designed for believers seeking a deeper prayer life, Christians studying spiritual gifts, pastors, prayer groups, intercessors, Bible-study fellowships, Pentecostal and Charismatic believers, and anyone sincerely examining the biblical teaching on tongues.Speaking in tongues remains a subject on which Christian traditions disagree. This audiobook presents Curry R. Blake's interpretation and ministry perspective. Listeners are encouraged to study the Scriptures prayerfully and examine all teaching in the light of God's Word.GET THE EBOOKGoogle Play Bookshttps://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=fUvaEQAAQBAJOtakada Christian Bookshophttps://shop.otakada.org/product/concerning-tongues-the-promise-of-the-father-and-the-power-of-the-saints-by-curry-r-blake/Continue your discipleship journey:https://movement.otakada.orghttps://www.otakada.orgThe promise is of the Father.The power is of the Holy Spirit.The responsibility belongs to the saints.Concerning Tongues Curry R Blake; Curry Blake audiobook; speaking in tongues explained; biblical teaching on speaking in tongues; baptism of the Holy Spirit; baptism in the Holy Ghost; praying in tongues benefits; prayer in the Spirit; how to speak in tongues; diversities of tongues; tongues and interpretation; tongues for personal edification; spiritual gifts Christian teaching; Holy Spirit Christian audiobook; Romans 8 intercession; Jude 20 praying in the Holy Ghost; 1 Corinthians 12 spiritual gifts; 1 Corinthians 14 tongues; Pentecostal audiobook; Charismatic Christian teaching; Spirit filled Christian life; promise of the Father; power of the saints #SpeakingInTongues#CurryBlake#ChristianAudiobook#HolySpirit#PrayingInTongues#BaptismOfTheHolySpirit#SpiritualGifts#PrayerInTheSpirit#Pentecost#BookOfActs

We join pastor Ed Taylor in Acts chapter two today on Abounding Grace. This portion of Scripture records the day of Pentecost. But pastor Ed is quick to point out that many totally miss the point of this passage, thinking it's just about the gift of tongues. The emphasis is really on God and how He keeps His promises. He's faithful and reliable in every way in our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29?v=20251111
The Holy Spirit is one of the most talked about (and least understood) persons in the Church.Some see Him as a force.Others see Him as an experience.Jesus revealed Him as a Person.In this message, we unpack the Promise of the Father and discover who the Holy Spirit is, what He does, and how He transforms everyday life.Using passages from John 16, Acts 1, Acts 2, Romans 8, and Galatians 5, we explore:• Why the Holy Spirit is a Person, not a power• How He convicts, comforts, and guides believers• What it means to be filled with the Spirit• The difference between spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit• How the Spirit empowers us to live holy and bold lives• Why revival has always been connected to the Holy Spirit• Practical ways to cultivate a daily relationship with HimThis message isn't just about learning about the Holy Spirit.It's about knowing Him.Before Jesus told His disciples to go into all the world, He told them to wait for one thing: the Promise of the Father.“Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you...” John 16:7
Open that Bible of yours to Acts chapter two. We plan on being here in this chapter for quite some time as there is so much for us to unpack and apply. If you'll recall last time we were together the disciples were told to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Father. Here in chapter two, that promise arrives!

Julie Kahwagi shares from Acts 1 on our constant need to be filled with the Holy Spirit which was promised to us and given by the Father to help us accomplish the work that he wants us to do. تشارك جولي قهوجي من إنجيل اعمال الرسل ١ عن حاجتنا المستمرة إلى الامتلاء بالروح القدس الذي وعدنا به الآب ومنحه لنا لمساعدتنا على إنجاز العمل الذي يريدنا أن نقوم به
Join us as we continue reading through the book of Acts.
Over the past several weeks, we have been looking at the promises and prophesies of the coming Christ. We have seen the promise made to Adam and Eve, Abraham, Judah, and David. This week we look at Psalm 2. Psalm 2 is a coronation psalm. It speaks of the coronation of a King, a descendant of David who rules from Jerusalem. It is apparent however, that no earthly king can fulfill the words of this Psalm. Whoever this King is, He is greater than David and Solomon. The words of this psalm are incredibly practical and relevant for our day. They describe our world and remind us of the security that we find in God’s Messiah. I pray that you will join us. It is going to be a very special weekend. Saturday we have performances of Kansas City Christmas at 1 and 5 pm. The 5 pm service will replace our normal Saturday night service. We will have another performance Sunday night at 5 pm. I pray that you will join us for worship as we look to the King of kings and Lord of all lords and invite men and women to know the peace, joy, and forgiveness that only He can bring. In Christ, Pastor Chad

Pastor Miles DeBenedictis Acts 1:4–8 Miles DeBenedictispastormiles.com
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is distinct from salvation—while salvation is the Spirit working within you, the baptism is the Spirit working through you, empowering you for ministry and witness. Throughout Scripture, God's presence is consistently associated with fire that heats up cold Christianity, transforms lukewarm faith into boldness, and ignites divine appointments. Like the priests who had to add fresh wood to keep the altar fire burning, we are responsible for maintaining our spiritual fire through daily preparation and removing sin that dampens our passion. When we properly prepare ourselves, God's fire falls immediately, transforming us into effective witnesses for Christ.
Sermon - "Promise Of The Father"
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience from salvation, bringing supernatural power (dunamis) to believers for ministry and witness. While we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, the baptism is a separate empowerment promised by Jesus to all believers. Biblical examples include John the Baptist's family, Jesus Himself, and the disciples at Pentecost who were transformed from fearful followers to bold witnesses. This baptism brings boldness, spiritual gifts, prophetic insight, supernatural witnessing ability, and deeper intimacy with God. It's a promise for everyone—you, your children, those far away, and all who are called by God.
The Promise Of The Father- July 20, 2025 - 10am Service by Pastor Kevin Sutherland
In this sermon, Pastor Jeff Young explores the concept of the baptism of the Holy Spirit as part of God's original plan for humanity. He traces the Holy Spirit's role from Genesis through Revelation, explaining how sin separated humans from God's presence in the Garden of Eden, creating a need for restoration. The sermon outlines God's progressive plan to restore His presence with His people - from the law and tabernacle in the Old Testament to the new covenant promised in Jeremiah 31 and fulfilled through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, which made it possible for the Holy Spirit to dwell within believers again.
The Holy Spirit is a person with whom we can relate, not just a power to be controlled. He convicts the world of sin (primarily unbelief), righteousness, and judgment—always with love and gentleness, never condemnation. For believers, the Spirit convicts of specific sins to shape us more like Jesus through personal conviction, community accountability, and transparent relationships. Following Jesus comes with costs—social, financial, time, and misunderstanding—but the Holy Spirit helps prepare us for these challenges. When we respond to His conviction and bring our struggles into the light, we find freedom rather than bondage.

In this message, “The Promise of the Father,” we dive deep into the supernatural works and presence of the Holy Spirit. Pastor reminds us that Holy Spirit is not a concept or emotion—but a person, a divine companion, and the very breath of God dwelling within believers. We challenge the misconceptions that confine His power and explore the Spirit's role as Creator, Comforter, Counselor, Convictor, and Empowerer. From Genesis to Acts, His fingerprints are everywhere. The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus, guides us into truth, brings conviction, and fuels our courage. This week's message will stir your faith, reawaken your awareness of God's presence, and remind you that life with Holy Spirit is not to be excluded—but embraced fully.
As we celebrate Pentecost, Pastor Loïs unpacks the promise of the Father, the coming of the Holy Spirit. He encourages us to have an open mind about the Holy Spirit as we seek to understand what the Bible teaches. Three spiritual signs accompanied this event as the disciples were empowered to prophesy in foreign languages understood by the multi-cultural crowd in Jerusalem. Today, the Holy Spirit is still working in the church. We see Him moving as we're bold in witness, devoted to church life, and empowered for holy living. The bottom line: Be hungry and thirsty for more of the Spirit of God! -Featuring Loïs Renaud
Sunday Sermon by Pastor Chuck Constant
To the Christian struggling with compromise and sin, the Spirit was given that you might be made holy, to refine you like gold. To the Christian who fears for her salvation, the Spirit was given that you might be held fast in the grip of God the Father and to testify in your weakness that you are his. The one who perhaps doubts the existence of God, doubts the existence of this God, or doubts that God could in any way be for you, the Spirit was given that dead bones might live. He can do that today.
