In the Bible, we have been assured there are actually 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit that remain open to all christians today. And one of those gifts is the gift of tongues.

The gift of tongues is the Holy Spirit supplying you with the great ability to speak in a foreign language that you have no previous knowledge of.

Here is the passage that will reveal what these 9 gifts are, that'll have the gift of tongues.

'But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.' (1 Corinthians 12:7-11)

We're not cessasionists. We don't think these 9 gifts eliminated after the first set of apostles left the picture. As a result, each one of these 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit is still available to every born again christians nowadays.

There's two main reasons as to why every christian should want the gift of tongues from the Lord.

1. One, is to help you improve the value of your prayer life together with the Lord. Considering that the Holy Spirit is definitely the Master Prayer to God the Father, He'll always know how to offer the right prayer to God. By connecting along with the Holy Spirit, you will be presenting an excellent prayer to God the Father since you are going to be making use of the the prayer language of the Holy Spirit Himself.

Even though you will not be knowing what you are praying about whenever you actually do go into the prayer language of the Holy Spirit, at least you will know that whatever you are praying come in the right will of God, because the prayer is going to be coming direct with the Holy Spirit Himself.

You can even make use of your prayer language when you are getting a little lost of words with the Lord in how you desire to communicate to Him. When that happens, go to your gift of tongues and so the Holy Spirit can then take control plus word your prayer the best way He will like it to be worded to God the Father.

2. Another main reason you'll want this particular gift is so that it may be used for emergency sort circumstances. I have seen countless testimonies in which everyone was encouraged by the Holy Spirit to all of a sudden go into their prayer language for 5-10 minutes.

At the time they weren't sure what they were praying for. But later on, they wind up finding out that they were praying for a person who was just about to have a severe  accident. And as a result of praying to God in their gift of tongues, God was able to move in the at the right time to stop the accident from taking place.

Since the Holy Spirit is God and Lord Himself, He will be able to take a look perfectly into the foreseeable future in regards to what is going to take place to everyone. If He perceives a bad accident getting ready to occur, He can induce a person to get into their prayer language to God the Father so the bad accident can be stopped from actually taking place.

This gift can therefore become a real life saver, not only to you, but somebody else who may be dear to you like your close friends or perhaps one of your own family members.

For people who don't possess this gift presently, simply go to the Lord through prayer and request Him to release this gift to you to help you drastically enhance the quality of your prayer life with Him, together with having the ability to be utilized by God to save someone else's life out of a a terrible emergency that is about to happen to them.
