Refresh Yourself with Tongues

“For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing…”
(Isaiah 28:11-12)

The word “refreshing” implies a restoration of breath; to impart vitality, energy and strength. In the opening verse, the Prophet Isaiah shows the relationship between speaking in tongues, and times of refreshing in the Holy Ghost. He explains that tongues of the Spirit not only bring you rest, but also refreshes you.

The Apostle Paul said to the church, “A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally…” (1 Corinthians 14:4 NLT). This is why it so important that you pray more in tongues (praying in the Holy Ghost) by spending quality time in the place of prayer. Pray in tongues not just when you feel like or only when things are going wrong, but as a lifestyle. With this, your spirit is always edified, and your body vitalized. Your spirit will be up and alive, stirred all the time.

Speaking in tongues is God’s way of getting your body to rest: “wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing” (Isaiah 28:12). If you do these things, you will extend your health, and be sensitive in your spirit all the time.
