Podcasts about speaking in tongues

The baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't just about speaking in tongues—it's about being immersed in radical love and raw power. It's not something we muster up, but something we submit to, so we can walk in supernatural compassion and authority to reform the world, not just survive it. This is the year the Spirit helps us do what we could never do on our own.

Many non-Orthodox churches are appealing to emotion by using charismatic forms and expressions. What's the Orthodox view of things like speaking in tongues, faith healing, and prophetic words of knowledge?

Send us a textActs 10:44-48While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.Support the show

The Holy Spirit of God has been misunderstood and misrepresented since the day of Pentecost.  When the people of the city heard the 120 in the upper room speaking in tongues and worship they supposed they were drunk.  Unfortunately it is not much different today.  The Holy Spirit comes for one thing and one thing only and that is to make sure Jesus is lifted up to the glory of the Father.  That is what He wants to do in our lives as well.  That we have the power to live our life lifting up Jesus to the glory of the Father.

Speaking in tongues is the most controversial and "foolish" of the spiritual gifts. What does that actually mean?Homily for the Solemnity of Pentecost 2025

Acts 19:1-7 English Standard VersionPaul in Ephesus19 And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.” 4 And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.7 There were about twelve men in all.English Standard Version (ESV)The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Whether you're curious, skeptical, or longing for more, the invitation is the same: come and see what the Spirit is doing.TEXTS: Acts 2:1-21, John 14:8-27https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202%3A1-21&version=ESVhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014%3A8-27&version=ESV

What is Second Blessing Theology, and is it biblical? Joshua Lewis unpacks the classical Pentecostal belief that Spirit baptism is a distinct, subsequent event after salvation—often evidenced by speaking in tongues. While Josh is a continuationist who speaks in tongues and values the gifts of the Spirit, he challenges key elements of Second Blessing Theology and the doctrine of initial physical evidence.

Daily Study: Each gift is meant to be helpful and serve a purpose within the body of Christ. While it is good to desire spiritual gifts, it is ultimately God who determines which gifts each person receives. The reference to speaking in tongues in Paul's writings pertains to its public expression, not the private prayer language used in personal devotion.

Send us a textWhat did Jesus mean when He declared "all the prophets and the law prophesied until John"? This provocative question sparked a passionate theological exchange that cuts to the heart of how we understand spiritual gifts today.When Jesus explicitly stated that the prophets were "until John," He established a profound theological boundary. Throughout the Old Testament, every prophet from Moses to Malachi pointed toward Christ's arrival. Their collective purpose—over 300 prophecies—converged on the coming Messiah. John the Baptist, as the final forerunner, completed this prophetic lineage by preparing the way for Jesus Himself.This discussion contrasts traditional biblical interpretation with charismatic perspectives in sometimes heated exchanges. If prophets existed primarily to foretell Christ's coming, what purpose would modern-day prophets serve when Christ has already come and His return is clearly promised in Scripture? The conversation explores how claims of prophetic gifts today often create problematic spiritual hierarchies, with some believers positioning themselves as spiritually elite based on manifestations like speaking in tongues.The episode delves into critical passages including not only Jesus's declarations about John but also examinations of figures like Agabus in Acts. Rather than supporting ongoing prophetic offices, these examples likely represent the conclusion of an era. The Scripture's sufficiency becomes a central theme—believers are "completely furnished with everything needed" through God's Word.Whether you've wondered about spiritual gifts, questioned charismatic practices, or simply want to better understand biblical prophecy, this thought-provoking discussion challenges assumptions and encourages a return to scriptural authority over experiential validation. Join us as we explore what it means when Jesus declares John as the last in the prophetic tradition.Support the show

Bible Study: (2:56) Acts 19:1 – Apollos was a Jew from Alexandria from Ephesus who had been baptized with the baptism of John and had not received the Holy Spirit. He ends up being a very important member of the Church. John baptized with a baptism of repentance and that is what we see in the Gospel of John. John the Baptist is constantly saying in the Gospel of John that he is not the Messiah. Break 1 Letters: (25:05) David – Has a question about Evangelism and introducing someone to prayer. (31:04) Jim – Does each cardinal consider a name he would choose as Pope just in case? (33:30) Does the Pope have to take a new name? (38:57) – Why are you down on people calling themselves “pet parents”. Break 2 (38:57) Word Of the Day – Take Courage Phones: (41:15) Roy - Does the Catholic Church believe in speaking in tongues. (44:11) Anne - It takes away the dignity of human life to use 'pet mom'. (48:09) – Marie - what’s the difference between presumption and trust?

Sunday, June 1, 2025 – As we continue our series on the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God, we are focusing on Tenant #7: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Today, we will learn that this belief, along with the Initial Evidence of Speaking in Tongues, differentiates a Protestant church from a Protestant Pentecostal church. Most, if not all, Protestant churches agree on the first six Fundamental Truths we’ve already discussed; it’s when we discuss the Baptism of the Holy Spirit that the differences arise. It’s crucial to realize that for a person to acknowledge their sins and receive forgiveness, the Holy Spirit is the active agent who convicts and leads them to Jesus for forgiveness. At that moment, the Holy Spirit is welcomed into that person's life and takes residence within them. That’s the saving power of the Holy Spirit, but it’s not the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. It’s the same Holy Spirit with a different purpose and result. The Baptism is a distinct and subsequent act following salvation. That’s what we’re going to learn today. Worship and study along with us.

Screams echoed from behind cloistered walls… and the Devil was said to answer. In 1633, a quiet French convent in Loudun became the unholy battleground for one of history's most shocking cases of mass possession. The Ursuline nuns—once devout and cloistered—began speaking in tongues, writhing with violent fits, and accusing a local priest of inviting Satan into their sacred space. Was it true possession? Mass hysteria? Or something even darker? Join Anne and Renata on True Hauntings as they uncover the disturbing events that rocked the Church, scandalized a nation, and ended in fire and blood.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    How do you get good at anything? You practice… that seems obvious. But how do you get really good at something… like expert level. Well you practice but you practice under duress.    Doctors who came back from war were far better at their jobs having practiced under war time conditions. The Benefits of Military Medical Experience include….  Trauma and Emergency Care Expertise: Military doctors, especially those who have served in combat zones, gain unparalleled experience in managing severe trauma, critical injuries, and mass casualty events under high-pressure, resource-limited conditions. This experience can be invaluable in civilian trauma centers and emergency departments. Adaptability and Resourcefulness: Military physicians are often trained to work in diverse and sometimes austere environments, using whatever resources are available. This fosters a high degree of adaptability, problem-solving skills, and the ability to remain calm in chaotic situations. Leadership and Teamwork: Military medicine emphasizes strong leadership, teamwork, and a clear chain of command. These skills are highly transferable to civilian healthcare settings, particularly in managing teams and coordinating care. Exposure to Diverse Patient Populations: Military physicians often change stations frequently and may be exposed to a wide variety of patient populations globally, broadening their clinical perspective. Focus on Pure Medicine (less administrative burden): In some military settings, doctors can focus more on patient care without the same concerns about insurance or billing that civilian doctors often face, allowing them to hone their clinical skills. Innovation: Many medical innovations and practices, such as triage systems and specialized surgical teams, have originated or been refined in military settings and have had a significant impact on civilian healthcare.     When you don't let anyone in your emotions, your faith or your mind… you build your Spiritual strength or should I say your spiritual armor.    Wether it is a person or a circumstance or even a physical health issue - these aren't just proving grounds, they are paving grounds for your life. You are learning to pave your walk in life in a straight and narrow.  When emotions, doubt, anger, bitterness… when these emotions attack you it can cause an uphill and uneven walk… with pitfalls and roadblocks… but they are of your making because you don't choose to the right response.    Silence is your Protection Scripture is your weapon Faith is your push back into the darkness   Silence protects you a few ways… You do not give your adversary any more ammo to pull your strings or trigger you. You keep them guessing You ultimately make them give up You create a sense that you know something they don't and it makes them feel vulnerable, more likely to expose their motives and their faults.   Scripture is your weapon. I just had a conversation with a young man who said he does not believe in speaking in tongues and the HS gifts for today… I said show me in scripture where it says that. He started to say “well I think… I cut him off immediately and told him he was either incredibly stupid, naive or arrogant or he was God. Because no one who serves God should care what another man thinks if it does not line up with scripture. My life is lived according to scripture… not my circumstances, not my upbringing, not what others think… even if they seem smarter than me… My life and how I view my life is totally based on scripture. If the rest of my life I pray for people to be healed and they are not… Im still believing God heals for today because that is what Gods word says.    My aikido sense was John Barr- I have talked about him a few times on my podcast. He was the best, well known, on magazine covers, fought with Steven Seagal… his wife tells a story of when they went to a restaurant that had a bar…. (Story)  No change in emotion, no anger, no change of demeanor… just a calm statement of faith.  John knew what he knew, he believed what he knew and he knew it was true. THATS FAITH. When you pray a prayer of faith or live a life of faith… you don't have to pray loud, live brash, but if you just know what you know, believe what scripture says, and live the truth. Thats faith.    Authority self esteem, self control, inner strength… self respect… its a muscle. And as they say… use it or lose it! 

In chapter 12, Paul began to admonish the church to consider the nature of spiritual gifts within the church. Individuals within the church really wanted to have the gift of speaking in tongues, but Paul says that they should rather think of themselves as a body with many parts, all working together, though each part if different. It is within this context that Paul speaks of the nature of love. Yes, this is the chapter that is often read at weddings, and that can be fitting. However, in the original context, Paul is telling the church that these gifts of the Spirit, no matter how impressive, mean nothing if the church does not love one another. Furthermore, prophecy is a superior gift, and Paul explains why in chapter 14. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In the late 2nd century AD, a Christian convert from Phrygia (modern Turkey) named Montanus began experiencing visions and speaking in tongues, which he believed were the Holy Spirit speaking through him. Soon he was joined by two women, Priscilla and Maximilla, who experienced the same ecstatic episodes. Montanus and his followers believed he was a prophet, called to lead Christians back to their primitive purity. In this episode of Controversies in Church History, we take a look at the history of Montanism, as its followers were called, and how it parallels other heretical movements in the history of the Church.

Speaking in tongues isn't about showing off. It's about breaking down barriers to spread God's love.

What do you believe about speaking in tongues or praying in the Spirit? Has your experience, tradition, and preference been negative or positive? What does God say? This message will clear up a lot of confusion about the gift of speaking in tongues and show you clear biblical evidence that God wants all believers to operate in this gift. It will also outline several of the blessings of praying in the Spirit. It's just too good to miss if you want to experience more victories over the devil in this lifetime.

Jesus told us it would be better for us to have the Holy Spirit than for Him to be here in the flesh! In part 3 of Power Team Pastor BJ Sullivan teaches on the 4th reason why you and the Holy Spirit are a power team and it's all about speaking in tongues!

A Triumphant Church Practicing Gifts 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 14 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. 6 Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? 7 If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? 8 And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? 9 So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning, 11 but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. 12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. 13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say “Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. 21 In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you. 26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. 27 If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. 30 If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. 33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, 34 the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. 36 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. 38 If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. 39 So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But all things should be done decently and in order. A Proper Use of Gifts: I. Prioritizes Edification II. Pursues Clarity III. Practices Order

Are tongues still in the church? Praying in the Spirit. Edifying the believer.

In this episode of Greater Than Podcast, Elijah sits down with neurosurgeon Dr. Avery Jackson and his wife, Cara, for an eye-opening discussion on the powerful connection between faith, neuroscience, and mental health.

What really happened on the Day of Pentecost? And what does it mean for us today? In this message, Pastor Daniel explores Acts 2 and the powerful confirmation of the Holy Spirit's presence—not just through signs and wonders, but through the Spirit's role in affirming our identity as God's children.   Whether you're curious about speaking in tongues, the charismatic movement, or just want to understand how the Holy Spirit works in everyday life, this sermon will bring clarity, conviction, and encouragement.  

Mommy was a woman of deep prayer, unwavering faith, and extraordinary grace. She devoted countless hours to praying and interceding earnestly for her family, church, Jamaica, and the world. Her commitment to prayer was steadfast, as she believed in the biblical command to "pray without ceasing."She kept a prayer journal, where she noted her prayers and the answers she received. Her entries were often brief yet profound. Mommy prayed for protection, sweet dreams, and visions; for blessings and unity within her extended family, both in Jamaica and abroad; and for her relatives and in-laws, including Cecil.In 2004, she wrote in her journal about praying for all her children to fully turn to God, and she joyfully recorded, "My grandson Sheldon was baptized and is doing well." That same year, she fervently prayed for Sheryl Small's healing from cancer. In 2011, she noted with gratitude, "She's healed and still doing well."Mommy's life was defined by her devout Christian faith. Her prayers reflected her love for God and her unwavering trust in His promises. She was a beacon of faith, an intercessor for many, and a testament to the power of a life lived in communion with God.In Mommy's final moments, I was blessed to be with her. She had waited for me because she knew how much I regretted missing our dad's passing and how deeply I wanted to be there. On Saturday night, I arrived to find her unable to speak, a mask over her nose as she labored to breathe. She could only utter faint sounds, saying "hee."I began to sing, and Ricky joined me. Together, we sang Arise and Be Healed, pouring our hearts into the melody. Then, I prayed for several minutes. As I prayed, she began to cry and joined me in prayer. Speaking in tongues, I felt the Holy Spirit move, and suddenly, she removed the mask and began to speak in tongues herself. She waved her hands and, with remarkable clarity, said, "Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit."Those were her last words. She then went quiet, as though ready to give up the ghost. That night, I returned to her home—our family's childhood home—and slept in her bedroom. Around 4 a.m., she visited me in a dream. She came to say goodbye and to encourage me to be strong and of good health. When I woke, I knew she was gone.Mommy never gave up. Even at the very end, her faith remained unshaken. Her love for God and those she left behind shone brightly in her final moments. Her life was a testament to the power of faith and the enduring presence of God's spirit.B. The Power of Prayer and Self-ReflectionIt is my mother's life of prayer, faith, and self-reflection that has profoundly shaped my understanding of the transformative power of prayer and introspection.When we pray, let us pray without sitting; when we dream, let us dream without sleeping. Believe and have faith, but stay away from naysayers. Prayer sharpens our focus, helping us acknowledge our limitations while embracing God's favor and the limitless possibilities He offers. It connects us with the divine—beyond and within—and aligns us with the cosmos and the cognitive.The Bible reminds us, “Men ought always to pray and never faint.” My mother embodied this verse in her daily life, just as Daniel did when he prayed and overcame the lions' den. What is your den? Prayer has the power to change things.When we pray, let's be ready to act, to change, and to receive. Let's open our hearts and minds to His endless possibilities. Prayer not only transforms our circumstances but also shapes us into vessels ready to receive His blessings.My mother's life is a testament to this truth. Her prayers, faith, and self-reflection have not only shaped her journey but also continue to inspire mine.By Rev.

Last time we looked at how Greco-Roman people talked about inspired speech. Today we turn to 1 Corinthians and the book of Acts to focus on speaking in tongues. We’ll consider the idea that tongues are angelic languages, how tongues relates to prayer, and how tongues differs from ecstatic speech. Lastly, we’ll dip our toes into the debate over whether tongues ceased with the apostles or not. Whether you personally speak in tongues or not, I think you’ll find the information in this episode helpful. Scriptures covered: 1 Corinthians 12:7, 10; 13:1, 8-12; 14:2, 4, 6, 11, 13-19, 27-28; Acts 2:1-11; 10:44-46; 11:15-17; 19:6-7   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— See all the episodes in this class: 1 Corinthians in Context Check out Sean’s other classes here Get the transcript of this episode Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Restitutio Facebook Group and follow Sean Finnegan on Twitter @RestitutioSF Leave a voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play them out on the air Intro music: Good Vibes by MBB Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) Free Download / Stream: Music promoted by Audio Library.

Today, we're wading into classic "Relatable" territory with a breakdown of speaking in tongues, after we sparked some controversy with a recent reaction to a video of a young woman praying in tongues. We go over the biblical accounts of speaking in tongues and how these should apply to the church and to Christians. Later, we talk about Karmelo Anthony's release on bond after it was reduced from $1 million to $250,000. We discuss the judge and speculate about her motivations.
