PRAYING IN TONGUES – LESSON 5

FALSE TEACHINGS AND BELIEFS

The last 140 years has seen much misunderstanding and false teachings that criticized speaking in tongues. I will go over some of them so that you are not caught unaware if confronted with them. I will list five particular ones.

1. There are some entire churches whose members are called “cessationists.” A cessation of something means it has ceased, ended, or no longer exists. They believe that the only work of the Holy Spirit or of Jesus that survived the first century was salvation. They believe all other works ceased when the last of the twelve apostles (John) died. They believe there are no more gifts of the Spirit such as healings, miracles, etc. They believe everything stopped with the death of John.

This goes against Hebrews 13:8 which says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” It also goes against Acts 2:38-39 which says, “and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Spirit). For (this) promise is unto you, and to your children, and to ALL that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall (ever) call.”

2. “It is not for today.” They acknowledge it was for the early church, even to the second or third century, but it then ceased after the New Testament was canonized.

They base this on I Corinthians 13:8-12 (NKJV) where it says, “Love never fails. But whether prophecies, they will fail. Whether tongues, they will cease. Whether knowledge, it will vanish away. For we (presently) know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away… for now we see in a mirror dimly (limited understanding), but then face to face (we shall see the perfect one). (For) Now I know in part, but then I shall know as I also am known (by Him).”

Their argument is that the canonized written Bible is the “perfect” that has come. But the context clearly is speaking of Jesus when He comes to rule the earth. He is the Perfect whom we shall see face to face. We cannot see the bible (v. 12) “face to face.”

When Jesus, the perfect, has set up His Kingdom, it is only then that we will no longer need the gifts because we are then living in the perfect fulfillment of His coming kingdom.

Until then, we will still have knowledge (which has not been done away with) and prophecy (much of which is yet to be fulfilled) and tongues (for heavenly communication) and all the gifts of the Spirit and His gifts to the church.

This is the first two of five heresies. We will pick up tomorrow starting with a third one.

THE ARMOUR OF GOD PART 1

We could begin by asking you if you have ever heard of the armor of God? If you have been in church at all most Pastors will mention it some time. It most often is preached from Ephesians 6:11 where it says, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Well, in order to put on the armour you need to know what the armour is. In verse 10 of the same chapter, it tells us, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” This lets us know right away that our strength doesn’t come from any internal source, but an external source, the LORD himself. So often we try to win battles with our natural abilities and most of us fail in this. Whenever you see the word “finally,” it lets us know that it is the “end” of a conversation.

Paul had been speaking about many things when he wrote to the church at Ephesus. He taught about children honoring their parents; fathers to not provoke their children to wrath; servants to obey their masters. Early in chapter 5 he spoke about marriage, submission, and how a man should love his wife as Christ loved the church. When a man loves a woman this way then it is easy for her to submit to him.

Chapter 6 brings us to how all of the things he mentioned can be obtained, and it is through wearing the armour of God. We learn in 6:12 that our battle is not with flesh and blood. This means there must be a spirit behind the attacks that come. He goes on to say in this verse, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Let us break it down. The word “principalities” means “chief” or the “first,” or “magistrate,” (ruler) over a particular area in the kingdom of darkness. We do not fight against people my friends. It is the spirit working through people that brings darkness. So, principalities are the chief demonic ruling forces over areas that we contend with.

If you recall Daniel had prayed and his prayer was delayed because the angel that brought the message to Daniel was withstood by the “prince of the kingdom of Persia” (Daniel 10:13). This was the principality over Persia where Daniel was. It took Michael, one of the chief princes (angels) of God to come and help so that Daniel could get the prayer answered.

Do not be surprised when you pray over communities that there is a strong demonic spirit that will come against those prayers. Tomorrow we will continue with our teaching on the armor of God.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Today you could be feeling much like Lazarus felt in John 11; And seemingly Jesus is moving much too slow in order to fix that problem you’re now facing. In fact, according to your timetable He is running way behind time; And now you’re fearing that it’s too late. You must keep holding on to God’s unchanging hand and keep the faith; For in the midst of it all...You can know that even when it looks to you as if God is 4 or 40 days late...Refuse to walk in fear for our faithful Lord is always and every time a right on time God; Just ask Lazarus.
