It is\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en\">God, being a parent and knowing our heart, wants to take us to a deep prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Prayer in tongues does not say things that human intelligence understands<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">The one who prays in tongues does not say things that human intelligence is able to understand;<\/span><span lang=\"en\">his prayer springs from his heart, his spirit into the heart of God; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">No one understands, not even himself, because he says mysterious things under the action of the Holy Spirit. That is\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en\">an obstacle to people who rationalize everything. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">This prayer is a humiliation for intelligence. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">How many people praying in tongues are asking themselves if they&#8217;re not doing something stupid, even feeling ridiculous for consent to start such a form of prayer. It would be c<\/span><span lang=\"en\">ontradictory to understand it when the Scripture says it is not possible to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsofttranslator.com\/bv.aspx?from=&amp;to=en&amp;a=http%3A%2F%2Fformacao.cancaonova.com%2Fespiritualidade%2Fvida-de-oracao%2F\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81403\" src=\"http:\/\/img.cancaonova.com\/cnimages\/canais\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/10\/formacao_vida-de-oracao.jpg\" alt=\"Vida de ora\u00e7\u00e3o\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">There are many who say they don&#8217;t want to the gifts,\u00a0that the charity is enough for them, as if you were prioritizing\u00a0the charisms and vice versa. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">The Holy Spirit teaches us: seek to live in\u00a0charity. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Aim also the spiritual gifts. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">We should aspire to the charity at the same intensity, the same shape and depth that the spiritual gifts (which turn out to be a charity&#8217;s own operation).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Prayer in tongues is the only building facing personal charisma<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">Happy are those who seek\u00a0and venture, even when feelings contradict the intention to launch this wonderful experience, since he who so pray edifies himself. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">All other charisms are for other people; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">prayer in tongues is the only charism focused on\u00a0personal edification. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">We should not waste it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Excerpted from: <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsofttranslator.com\/bv.aspx?from=&amp;to=en&amp;a=http%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2FjdHDGe\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cQuando s\u00f3 Deus \u00e9 a resposta\u201d<\/a>\u00a0(When only God is the Answer)<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/formacao.cancaonova.com\/espiritualidade\/vida-de-oracao\/o-que-e-a-oracao-em-linguas\/\">Portuguese Version<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a long time the gift of praying in tongues was forgotten, and even seemed to have disappeared from the Church Prayer in tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12.10).
