My tongue is irresistible -By Moses Kattey

When we pray in tongues, no devil, no man and no circumstance can curtail, limit, resist or withstand our prayers. Tongues, whether physical or spiritual tongues (spiritual gifts), have same attributes.

The scriptures let us know that the tongue that is used in praying in the spirit, is more powerful than that of flesh, for we speak unto God, not unto men. for he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries (1 Corinthian 14:2). Known tongue is addressed to men while unknown tongue addresses God and the spirit world. Spiritual tongue has greater capability than physical tongue.

Physical tongue is what is referred to as being understandable, like, when we speak English, French, or a local dialect that one understands. Spiritual tongue is what is referred to as ‘Unknown tongues’ (1 Corinthians 14:2,4) and ‘new tongues.’

(Mark 16:17). for every kind of beast, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison (James 3:7,8) The picture in the above scriptures is more serious when we consider spiritual tongues, or new tongues.

When I am praying in unknown tongues No demon, no man, nothing

Can redirect the prayer

Can curtail the prayer

Can tame the prayer

Can limit the prayer

Can repel the tongues

Can resist the tongues

Can withstand the tongues

Can send the prayer back to the sender

Can reduce the “Poison” in the tongue

Can match “stubbornness” of the tongues

No devil, no man, nothing can equal or “call the prayer to order “or “chain” it.

I have heard where people or churches were praying and binding prayers of some other Christian groups/churches. If they are praying in tongues, sorry, it is not possible to interfere with the prayers.

May be they succeed to bind prayers in known tongues but praying in tongues is unconquerable prayer.

James makes it clear that if people can bind, or chain tongues, unknown tongues or praying in the spirit as it may be referred to, or if they can Charm, or tame tigers, lions, elephants, pythons, sharks, leviathans, etc. it is not possible to do that to prayer in tongues.

This is another reason why I speak (pray) in tongues. St. Paul quite understood the efficacy and capability of tongues and he said, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with understanding also.

I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. – (1 Corinthian 14:14;15). Elder James said that tongues boast of great things.

”Even so the tongue is a little member. And boast great things (James 3:5). Tongue speaking appears very unimportant, out of place, optional, not mandatory, but Paul said you must acknowledge that what he said about tongues is a “commandment of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 14:37)? Your testimonies or rather your experience with praying in the spirit (tongue) will be accompanied by great exploits.

Tongue is a gift Tongue speaking is a gift from God, apart from the fact that it is an evidence of your believe in Jesus. St. Mark records it as an evidence of our belief in Jesus (Mark 16:17), while Apostle Paul puts it this way.

To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirit; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. (1 Corinthian 12:10). I also operate tongues as a gift. Without tongues, one’s life will be unbalance. You may not know until it is late and die in ignorance. I have opted to receive all that God has designed for his church, whether I understand it or not.

Tongues create signs I realised that I need tongues to see signs and wonders in my ministry and in my life. It has great potentials to create signs in my life that people see.

l have experienced this, and that is how I understood what Paul said. “Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not.” – 1 Corinthians 14:3. Every sound is significant Sometimes when I say words I do not understand in prayers, or as someone might notice when “ I make noise” and say or repeat syllables that appear meaningless, none of the things I say is without significance. (1 Corinthian 14:10). I say all in faith believing that each sound is significant.

The scriptures say that there are things and feelings that human language cannot express. It must just be understood by the Lord when sounds, groaning, signs, etc are produced in prayers. In fact, you will be speaking heavenly language.

Your innermost desires are just understood only when such sounds are produced. In that situation you are talking to God directly. In fact, the Bible says: You speak mysteries -1 Corinthians 14:2. Your spirit prays and all things work together for your good.

That prayer overcomes our infirmities, your inabilities, your limitations, and extends the boundary you could not have reached when you pray with understanding. Tongues meet God’s standard for your prayer and present the case in the right and appropriate way.
