Helloeveryone I just wanted to share a testimony that I had myself about speaking in tongues. I attend a small country non-denominational Church that believes in all the gifts of the Holy Ghost. There is a few members in my Church that can speak in tonguesand a few people interprets them.(Everyone is older people 60+)
Here's the story
4-5 years ago I was spiraling down out of control. I was having blasphemous thoughts against Jesus Christselling my soul etc. . .
(Not as badI was drowning it all out with drugsand it bothered me not so mucj but was there)
I was at this time around 17-19 years old(I can't remember)
Living my life watching porn every nightdrinking booze with my friends at party's every weekend. Smoking weed every daytaking pills and doing any other drug I could get my hands on. [Meth a few timesLSD a few timesall kinds of pillscocaine ]
One night I couldn't get a hold of any drugs [ weed ] was my go to drug.
It was a few days that I have been without marijuana. I was
withdrawing from this. ( I know some people say that weed doesn't have a withdraw effect) In my case that was false. I was withdrawingcraving wanting it so bad. Racing thoughtscouldn't sleep etc.
I was having very bad thoughts about Christand selling my soul.
I think in a moment of anger or whatever you wanna call it.
I gave in and said or thought can't really remember..
I'm ready to sell my soul to the ....dev....
A extreme fear came up over meas I thought I just sealed my fate forever to burn in hell.( I thought I need to get into Church)
Never really attending Church at this point in my life.
The next few days the fearguilt was with me.
Somehow this lead me to being bombarded with multiple evil thoughtsagainst Jesus.
Thinking stuff like "sa.... is my god now" " Your going to hell"
" &^%# Jesus etc..."
Day and night
It was the worst thing ever.
And it just kept getting worse and worse and worse.
My mom told me I could be forgiven of all things but the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost.
When she told me thisI tried so hard to not think a evil thought about the Holy Ghost ( I was being tormented with lots of evil thoughts day and night)
I thought a evil thought about the Holy Ghost.
Thinking now I am even more doomed because I just did the
unpardonable sin.
(Just providing the story leading up to the testimony about tongues)
This lasted for months to years.
And the whole time I have been attending this Church every Wednesday.. Sunday morning and night. I got rid of all musiccomputer gamesdidn't hang out with my buddys no more.
Stopped every drug. The fear of God and judgement became realand I didn't want to burn in hell forever.
I was in tormentand without hope begging Christ all hours of the day for months and monthsyears.....
Now like I said above my Church believes in the Gifts of the Holy Ghost.
And not every time the Church doors were slung open. Did they speak in tongues,
interpret them etc.. So it wasn't like every Church day you got to hear a message being interpreted in tongues.
So begging God to send me a word from the Lord through tounges was my prayer.
I prayed and begged and wept for months and months for this.Nothing......
Thinking wow am I doomed I hope notand just wanting a break through.
I almost gave up in asking for this all together.
Over the course of them months and months I was begging to hear from Jesus Christ.
I was praying in my mind this.
"Jesus your my Shepherd I am your sheep"
over and over and over.
One night at Church I was praying like I always do that in my head.
"Jesus your my Shepherd I am your sheep"
"Jesus your my Shepherd I am your sheep"
"Jesus your my Shepherd I am your sheep"
over and over in mental agony wanting hope cause I didn't know for sure.
All at once this lady I know started speaking in tongues,
the whole Church fell quietall but the tongues being spoken.
My pastor started interpreting them
he said this
"Ye you are my sheepI am your Shepardyou are my child"
talk about SHOUTING AND PRAISING CHRIST.
There's no way my pastor knew what I was thinking in my mind.
Just isn't possible in any way shape or form.
Speaking in tongues and interpretation are very real.
You can believe me or notbut this is the truth.
Also it wasn't like I went one night and heard this and was like oh okay.
It was months and monthswithout hearing anything at all.
Just simple faithhope.
And coming back to the Church from backslidinghaving these blasphemous thoughtsI have heard this message again.
This is my testimony.
