And our God is more than worthy of it all! Hallelujah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it even more thrilling, Psalm 145 is also written as an acrostic form of poetry in which the first letter of each word in a line starts with a specific letter of the alphabet. In Old Testament Hebrew, poetical acrostics would start with \u201caleph,\u201d the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and end with the last letter, \u201ctav.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are several acrostic passages in the Bible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Psalms 9; 10; 25; 34; 37; 111; 112; 119; 145<br>\u2022 Proverbs 31:10-31 (the virtuous woman)<br>\u2022 Lamentations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrostic poems give a sense of both fullness and completeness. The phrase \u201ceverything from A to Z\u201d means that every detail of a topic will be discussed. We can literally say that Psalm 145 is \u201ceverything from A to Z.\u201d It is one of the fullest and most complete hymns of praise in the book of Psalms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poetry takes much thought and planning, and acrostic poems take a touch of genius. Who is the \u201cgenius\u201d behind all Scripture? Of course, it is the Holy Spirit who <em>\u201cmoved and impelled\u201d (Amplified)<\/em> and <em>\u201ccarried along\u201d (NIV)<\/em> the men who penned these wonderful Words of Life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">2 Peter 1:21 (Amplified)<br>For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so\u2014it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, just imagine the joy of the Holy Spirit when He hears this amazing hymn of praise flowing up from the heart, through the voice, tongue and lips, and out through the mouth of God\u2019s dear children. This is exactly why we have the Psalms! We are created to be worshippers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Revelation 4:11 (KJV)<br>Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and FOR THY PLEASURE they are and were created.<\/pre>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"557\" data-attachment-id=\"3256\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/slentz.org\/blog\/devotional\/its-bubbling\/attachment\/created-for-praising-god\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1393&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1393\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?fit=300%2C163&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?fit=1024%2C557&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god.jpg?resize=1024%2C557&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3256\" style=\"width:240px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C557&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C163&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C418&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C836&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1114&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?resize=368%2C200&amp;ssl=1 368w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/created-for-praising-god-scaled.jpg?w=2120&amp;ssl=1 2120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is especially true of the Church, which the Holy Spirit has been preparing as a Bride for Christ since the Day of Pentecost over 2,000 years ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">1 Peter 2:9<br>But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may <strong>PROCLAIM THE PRAISES<\/strong> of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Isaiah 43:21<br>This people I have formed for Myself;<br>They shall declare My praise.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Psalm 102:18<br>This will be written for the generation to come,<br>That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider Psalm 145:7 (KJV): <em>&#8220;They shall <strong>ABUNDANTLY UTTER<\/strong> the memory of Your abundant goodness\u2026.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hebrew word for \u201cabundantly utter\u201d is \u201cnaba\u201d which means \u201cbubble up, boil over, pour out, gush forth, spring up, ferment.\u201d As the <em>\u201credeemed of the Lord,\u201d<\/em> we should <em>\u201csay so\u201d (Psalm 107:2)<\/em> with praises that bubble up, boil over, pour out, gush forth, and spring up!

Even if we knew a thousand languages, there would still never be sufficient words to worship and praise our God. The great hymn-writer Charles Wesley captures that thought perfectly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>O for a thousand tongues to sing<br>My great Redeemer&#8217;s praise,<br>The glories of my God and King,<br>The triumphs of his grace!<br><br>To God all glory, praise, and love<br>Be now and ever given<br>By saints below and saints above,<br>The Church in earth and heaven.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2013 Charles Wesley (1707-1788)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Holy Spirit chose the Psalms \u201cHymnbook\u201d to be the largest of the sixty-six books, and He also placed it right in the center of God\u2019s Word, the Bible. It is clearly apparent just how vital praise really is. In fact, Jesus says that the Father is \u201cseeking such to worship Him\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">John 4:23<br>But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; <strong>for the Father is seeking such to worship Him<\/strong>.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Brand New Bubbling on Pentecost\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"957\" data-attachment-id=\"3257\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/slentz.org\/blog\/devotional\/its-bubbling\/attachment\/dove-black-background\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?fit=1284%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1284,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dove-black-background\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?fit=300%2C280&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?fit=1024%2C957&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?resize=1024%2C957&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3257\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?resize=1024%2C957&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?resize=300%2C280&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?resize=768%2C718&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?resize=214%2C200&amp;ssl=1 214w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Dove-black-background.jpeg?w=1284&amp;ssl=1 1284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>God has placed an extremely high value on praise and worship. We should not be surprised by what the Holy Spirit did on the Day of Pentecost when He was poured out upon the 120 people (including the eleven disciples) who were waiting and praying in Jerusalem. Those men and women were baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire. At the very moment of their infilling, each of them began to praise and magnify God in a very unique way that had never happened before in all of history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Acts 2:4<br>And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Acts 2:7-11\nThen they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, \u201cLook, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language, in which we were born?&nbsp; \u2014we hear them speaking in our own tongues THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the phrases from  Psalms, these 120 believers were \u201cbubbling up,\u201d&nbsp; boiling over,\u201d \u201cgushing forth,\u201d \u201cspringing up,\u201d overflowing, and \u201cabundantly uttering\u201d praise and worship unto God in a brand new way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus said, <em>\u201cFor out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks\u201d (Mat 12:34), and that is precisely what they were experiencing! From the overabundance<\/em> of their hearts, words were flowing like rivers out of their mouths. Their tongues were like the <em>\u201cpen of a ready writer\u201d (Psalm 45:1)<\/em>. In fact, this \u201cbubbling up\u201d was so extreme that they were accused of being drunk with new wine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Acts 2:12-13<br>So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, \u201cWhatever could this mean?\u201d<br>Others mocking said, \u201cThey are full of new wine.\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>What did it mean? It was the birth of the Church, the Bride of Christ. It was the fulfillment of the New Covenant promise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Ezekiel 36:26-27<br>I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.<br><strong>I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU<\/strong> and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the Promise of the Father (Luke 11:13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 2:33; Acts 2:38-39) poured out upon His children. The experience is called <em>\u201cthe Baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire\u201d (Luke 3:16; Acts 1:5)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus said that \u201cRivers of Living Water\u201d would overflow from the believer\u2019s \u201cheart\u201d or \u201cinnermost being.\u201d He spoke this prophetically about this experience that was only available after He had ascended and been glorified to the right hand of the Father (Acts 2:33). It refers specifically to those who would be baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">John 7:37-39 (NASB)<br>Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, \u201cIf anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.<br>He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, \u2018From his innermost being will flow <strong>RIVERS OF LIVING WATER<\/strong>.\u2019\u201d<br>But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After His resurrection, Jesus told His disciples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Mark 16:17-18<br>And these signs will follow those who believe: In My Name they will cast out demons; <strong>THEY WILL SPEAK IN NEW TONGUES<\/strong>; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The Holy Spirit\u2019s gift of speaking in unknown tongues accompanied the infilling of the Holy Spirit, not only on the Day of Pentecost but throughout the book of Acts (see Acts 8:5-17; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 11:15; Acts 15:7-9; Acts 19:1-6). As Peter declared on the Day of Pentecost, from that day forward, the <em>\u201cpromise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off\u201d (Acts 2:37-39)<\/em>. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and endowed with the gift of speaking in unknown tongues, they were \u201cbubbling up and boiling over\u201d in a new way that never existed before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bride is Bubbling with Love for Her Bridegroom\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1020\" data-attachment-id=\"3259\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/slentz.org\/blog\/devotional\/its-bubbling\/attachment\/bride-by-window-adjusted\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?fit=1800%2C1793&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1800,1793\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bride-by-window-adjusted\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?fit=1024%2C1020&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?resize=1024%2C1020&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3259\" style=\"width:280px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?resize=1024%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?resize=768%2C765&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?resize=1536%2C1530&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?resize=201%2C200&amp;ssl=1 201w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bride-by-window-adjusted.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Knowing that we are in these Last Times before Jesus returns for His Bride, how much more should we be singing and proclaiming God\u2019s praises? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One symptom of the Bride\u2019s <em>\u201clove sickness\u201d (Song of Songs 2:5, 5:8)<\/em> is that She loves singing the praises and the excellencies of her Beloved Bridegroom: <em>\u201cHe is altogether lovely\u201d (see Song of Songs 5:10-16)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David spoke of his amazement at the overflow of words coming from his mouth as he praised, worshipped, and adored God, his King.

Some try to teach that the gift of tongues was a time-limited gift given only for the purpose of preaching the Gospel in different languages. They say that the 120 were preaching in the languages of the people there in Jerusalem. However, that would be erroneous for no less than five reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(1) <\/strong>The people did not hear the 120 preaching; instead, they said, <em>\u201cWe hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God\u201d (Acts 2:11)<\/em>. Just like when Cornelius and his household received the Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues. Clearly, they were not preaching the Gospel, for Peter had already done that. Instead, they were praising and magnifying God:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Acts 10:46-47<br>For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.<br>Then Peter answered, \u201cCan anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(2)<\/strong> On the Day of Pentecost, there was no need to preach the Gospel in other languages, for everyone there understood each other perfectly. Peter stood up and preached without an interpreter, and 3,000 received Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(3)<\/strong> The 120 speaking in tongues were accused of being drunk! Drunken preachers would have a difficult time trying to preach. The 120 must have been so filled with ecstatic joy that they appeared drunk to the onlookers that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(4)<\/strong> If the gift of speaking in tongues is for preaching the Gospel to people of other languages, then for whom and for what purpose is the companion gift of interpretation of unknown tongues?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(5)<\/strong> Finally, Paul clearly explains that \u201che who speaks in a tongue does NOT speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries\u201d (1 Cor 14:2).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bubbling in Unknown Tongues\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That last point is very critical to understand. The gift of speaking in tongues is NOT for SPEAKING to MEN. That also explains why Paul had to explain that speaking in tongues only profits and \u201cEDIFIES\u201d the one speaking (1 Cor 14:4 \u2013 and we need to edify ourselves!). Still, it does not profit anyone else unless the companion gift of interpretation functions in order to reveal what that prayer or praise in unknown tongues was about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking in tongues is for speaking to God. What qualifies as \u201cspeaking to God\u201d? Prayer, intercession, praise, worship, blessing, and giving thanks. And that is precisely what this incredible gift is all about \u2013 talking to God:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022 Prayer<\/strong> <em>(Jude 1:20; Eph 6:18)<\/em><br><strong>\u2022 Intercession<\/strong> <em>(Rom 8:26-27)<\/em><br><strong>\u2022 Praise, Worship, Magnifying God<\/strong> <em>(Acts 2:11; Acts 10:47)<\/em><br><strong>\u2022 Blessing God and giving thanks <em>\u201cwell\u201d<\/em><\/strong> <em>(1 Cor 14:16-17)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If those whom the Holy Spirit moved to pen the Psalms felt that their tongue was the \u201cpen of a ready writer,\u201d then just imagine the beautiful words, psalms, and hymns of praise and worship that the Holy Spirit puts in our mouths with this fantastic gift of speaking in unknown tongues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">1 Corinthians 14:16-17<br>Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say \u201cAmen\u201d at your giving of thanks since he does not understand what you say?<br>For you indeed <strong>GIVE THANKS WELL<\/strong>, but the other is not edified.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Awesome! How often have I felt such deep gratitude filling my soul, but I did not have enough words in English (or Spanish, which I also speak) to express that praise properly. How exciting that when we give thanks to God with the gift of speaking in tongues, we <em>\u201cGIVE THANKS WELL\u201d!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bubbling to a New Song\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice what Paul explains as to how this precious gift of speaking in tongues functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">1 Corinthians 14:14-15\nFor if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.\nWhat is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First of all,<\/strong> notice that when Paul says, \u201cI will pray with the spirit,\u201d he is contrasting that with \u201cI will pray with the understanding.\u201d Some people try to say that the phrase \u201cpraying with (or in) the spirit\u201d simply refers to praying wholeheartedly in one\u2019s own language. Others argue that it means being &#8220;led by the Spirit&#8221; to pray words in one\u2019s own language. But Paul clarifies that \u201cpraying with the spirit\u201d means \u201cpraying in a tongue,\u201d and the understanding is unfruitful. Below are some of the verses that, as we can now understand, refer to speaking in tongues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ephesians 6:18<br>Praying always with all prayer and supplication <strong>IN THE SPIRIT<\/strong>, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jude 1:20<br>But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ephesians 5:19<br>Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. [&#8220;Spiritual&#8221; is the Greek word &#8220;pneumatikos&#8221; which means &#8220;spiritual, supernatural,  non-carnal.&#8221; So &#8220;spiritual songs&#8221; refers to supernaturally singing in unknown tongues.]<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"3268\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/slentz.org\/blog\/devotional\/its-bubbling\/attachment\/free-gas-stove-image-public-domain-kitchen-cc0-photo-more\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?fit=2100%2C1400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2100,1400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;rawpixel.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Free gas stove image, public domain kitchen CC0 photo.\\r\\rMore:\\r\\r View public domain image source &lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/pxhere.com\\\/en\\\/photo\\\/1031382\\&quot;&gt;here&lt;\\\/a&gt;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Free gas stove image, public domain kitchen CC0 photo.\\r\\rMore:&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Free gas stove image, public domain kitchen CC0 photo.\r\rMore:\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Free gas stove image, public domain kitchen CC0 photo.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;More:&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt; View public domain image source &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/pxhere.com\/en\/photo\/1031382&quot;&gt;here&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3268\" style=\"width:320px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/slentz.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/gas-stove-smaller.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Secondly,<\/strong> it is clear that Paul does not wait for some mighty power of the Holy Spirit to suddenly fill him and force him to speak in tongues. Not at all! The gift of speaking in tongues is continuously available. This gift is different from the other gifts of the Holy Spirit in that it functions at our will and our choosing. Paul says, <em>\u201cI <strong>WILL<\/strong> pray with the spirit\u2026\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cI <strong>WILL<\/strong> sing with the spirit.\u201d<\/em> This has been my experience ever since 1976 when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Of my own free will, I can speak in tongues any time I so choose. We always compared it to a pilot light in a gas stove: when you want to cook something, just turn on the gas! In other words, all I need to do is choose to speak the \u201cutterance\u201d or words that the Holy Spirit puts into my mouth. I can speak softly or loudly, and slowly or quickly. The choice is mine. What an amazing gift!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thirdly,<\/strong> notice that Paul says something incredible: we can also <strong>SING IN TONGUES!<\/strong> Wow!

Then, like Paul said, I sing in tongues to that melody. I remember two special occasions when I felt something unique while singing with the spirit in unknown tongues, and I felt impressed to ask the Holy Spirit for the gift of the interpretation of tongues. The result on both occasions was a brand new song (in English), which I quickly wrote down. Now I have written many songs, but it was usually tedious trying to get the correct rhyme and rhythm. But these two songs just flowed so quickly that my pen could not catch up!
