FAQ – Releasing The Holy Spirit – Part 6

How do you know if you are forcing the speaking in tongues or if it is real?

This was a very big dilemma for me.

I so wanted everything to be God and God alone that I removed myself from any participation.  I opened myself up as a willing vessel, but I wasn’t willing to speak!  <smile>

It will always be you speaking in tongues.  Always.  But it will always be Holy Spirit enabled.  Always.  If the Holy Spirit didn’t enable you, you wouldn’t be speaking in a language you had never learned!

Acts 2:4 (NIV)
⁴ All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
