Some Christians even pray in tongues to purposely extend prayer time bcos they don't have a prayer point. Some even use it to hide their inadequate knowledge of the Scripture wen prayer. This generation has been taught the dimension of praying in tongues Which is good But....
I don’t know a million charismatics,
But a very good number of those I’ve met can’t hold a prayer point fervently for 10 minutes without speaking in tongues.
Some, even for 5 minutes.
I think this may be a huge problem.
The Saints of old didn’t have tongues but were able to pour out their heart fluidly and even see God’s mighty hand in response to their prayer.
Elijah’s prayer for rain was in his understanding.
Same with Hannah’s prayer.
Same with ALL of David’s prayers (psalms)
What am I saying?
There’s a depth of intimacy and relationship we cannot express with God if we haven’t trained ourselves to be articulate in our understanding.
I believe in tongues.
I believe that it is a divine avenue for personal edification and corporate edification (when interpreted).
But I will not advise that it always takes up most of your prayer time.
We can have a longer chat about it’s purpose,
Just don’t lose the art of pouring out your heart to God, that’s what I’m saying.
I may be wrong sha.
Have a good day beloved.
