Tongues awaken our inner man to the realities of heaven. As the spirit of God speaks through us our spirit comes alive and begins to realize our position in Christ in the heavens. It’s not so much that we “ascend” but that we fully appreciate that we are standing with Him in His presence. Indeed heaven is the place which is where our spirit lives 24/7. We are able to step directly into deep worship at the drop of a hat, there’s no need tow “work it up” that’s thinking with our mind.

Tongues unhinge our mind from the physical world because they disconnect our senses from it. That is one of the reasons they are such a hurdle for many Christians when growing in their faith walk. In fact it’s probably why they are such a stumbling block for whole denominations in the body. So many of the other gifts of the spirit have been co-opted by the new age such with its counterfeit manifestations that the gifts of the spirit have been shelved as being from the devil. Spoiler alert, satan can’t create only mimic and or twist. All good gifts come from the father of lights, you know Papa? THE CREATOR.

So step into the gifts, exercise them on purpose, diligently and regularly.
