Seminar on Holy Spirit - part 3 IBADAN
Speaking in tongues is not a sign of Spiritual Maturity. Don't assume anyone who vibrate, speak in tongues or chant is matured spiritually. No! Spiritual maturity is based on doing the will of God.
Trance is not a gift but spiritual experience for witnessing for Jesus Christ. Having a roaster for trance is not a biblical trance but spiritual 419 business .
Every true trance journey must lead the person to winning souls for the kingdom. Peter was in trance in Act 10, it result into winning souls of Cornelius and His house hold.
If you claim to go in trance and you came back fighting people , keeping malice, abusing others and committing adultery or fornication. You didn't go in trance but transaction.
You don't go in trance to bill people
You don't go in trance to sell soap
You don't go in trance to sell fruits
If you go in trance and start to sell candle, oil, soap, you are simply on a business trip not a spiritual journey.
Concerning tongues, don't rate people by the sound or sweetness of their tongues but by the character of their life.
Anyone can imitate tongues , demons also speak in tongues . The gifts of tongues is real, so real but it for sharing the gospel and to glorify the name of God . It is not for entertaining people online or in church . It's not for making money or bragging superiority over others but for delivering the gospel message and for witnessing for Christ gospel.
You don't have to speak in tongues to be born again. Don't assume a Christian is not filled with holy spirit because they don't speak in tongues . Many are filled with the holy spirit yet they don't speak in tongues . We know them by the character of their life , the fruit of the spirit .
He that prophecy ( speak God's message in understandable language) is greater than he that speaks in tongues because He that speaks in tongues edify himself only not the church (1 Corinthians 14).
May God give you understanding
Amen
