Many years ago,when I was not really save,but just join a church and registered in a baptismer class to baptised,then we went for the baptism that very Saturday morning and was back before noon.then I sitting down on the edge of the bed telling my sister and a cousin all about the baptism,as I was telling how it went,I started feeling sleepy from no where,sleepy that I can not control in the afternoon,right on the story I was telling them all about the baptism.so I now told them that I am feeling sleepy that I want to sleep,the moment my body rest on the bed,immediately I saw JESUS CHRIST standing in a realm without shoes on,under His feet is as beautiful and soft more than a new born babe.He was talking to me in tongues but I could not reply with tongues back to him,it was as if my mouth was full of words but it was not forthcoming,so he brought out a very long sword and was giving it to me but I was refusing to take it because what I needed was that speaking in tongues but in real life that was the major reason I decided to be attending that church where I got baptised that day.but finally I collected the sword and wake up immediately,that sleep wasn't upto 10mins.my sister's were asking me you did not sleep again,then I started telling them what I saw.
PLEASE SOMEBODY SHOULD HELP ME WITH THE MEANING.MEANWHILE TILL THIS DAY I HAVE NOT SPOKEN IN TONGUES,AND I AM SAVE NOW,DOES IT MEAN THAT I HAVE NOT RECEIVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN ME.WILL I MAKE HEAVEN WITHOUT SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
Sword is truth. As symbol of Islam. The faith of Jesus .Two edges are the Quran the last revelations from God after Torah and gosble . The second one is preaching of prophet Muhammad .God bless you
This past Sunday morning, the first time I woke up, I had had some kind of dream about someone similar to the movie character, "Edward Sissorhands", trying to attack me, and woke up very fearful. My wife also woke up fearful and had been interceeding against fear before I woke up. After I went back to sleep, when I woke up the last time, I was seeing a vision of a midieval style battle, with two apponents facing each other. Neithe were wearing any real protective armor that I could tell. The man on the left appeared to be disarmed by the man on the right, and was standing in a total daze. The man on the right rested his long single edged sword on the dazed man's left shoulder, and was preparing to take a massive back swing to decapitate the dazed man, when I heard the Spirit say, "NO, he has something up his sleave". As I prayed about this, I felt the Lord showed me that what was figuratively up the dazed man's sleave, was the DOUBLE EDGED SWORD, which is the word of God which should proceed out of our mouths. Like the "Two Witnesses" in Revelation 11, who for a period of 1260 days, prophecy, and if any man comes against them, FIRE will come out of their mouths and kill their enemies, God desires to fill us with the Holy Spirit and Fire, that we will be able to stand against the attacks of the enemy. Later that morning at our new fellowship, I felt a prompting to go up to the pastor during worship, and share this word with him. He later had me come up and share the word publically, but before I shared, he told me that the Lord had shown him that this word related to people who were struggling with various kinds of addictions, and that God wanted to heal them from those addictions. He did clarify that addictions could even mean addiction to needing to be the center of attention, or other things that might not normally be considered addictions by most people. It could also be addictions to more commonly understood things, like prescription drugs, pornography, or alcohol. That said however, just a couple hours ago, I was watching a teaching by 119 ministries on youtube, which was called, "The last DAZE", and though it spoke a little about the last days, it was actually more about those who are in a daze of false teaching, which basically is a false grace that says we can continue in all kinds of sin and still be saved, even when Galatians 5, speaking of the "works of the flesh", lists 17 of them, each of them breaking at least one or more of God's laws, and Paul clearely states that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Paul states in Romans 6, that we should not continue in sin that grace may abound, and that if we have died to sin, how can we live any longer in it. In other words, true faith bears the fruit of repentance from sin, and clothing ourselves with righteousness, not just figuratively in the "suite by and by", but beginning to walk in righteousness now in this life under the power of the Holy Spirit. Blessings to you in Yeshua's name!!!
Two things I want to cover, no three:
1. Sleepy: I have experienced this many times. Do you remember how it felt? It feels different than normal sleep, and there is also a false version of this, when the enemy wants you to sleep. Just so you know!
2. Tongues: The Holy Spirit may have been offering you tongues, yes. But, tongues is often represented as fire or a tongue of fire, or oil. Since Jesus was offering a sword, It is more likely He was offering you the Word, which is the Word of God, which is Jesus. This may have been the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which can manifest in prophetic words (hence the mouth full of words), or it could have simply been a single prophetic message (as the tiny scroll that tasted like honey). But, I suspect this symbolized the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which includes the gift of speaking in tongues.
Can a person refuse this? YES. I did. I only accepted it after years of others testifying. Once I removed my resistance, it just flowed out of me.
3. The sword: The Word of God. See above.
Thinking about it more... Your mouth was already full of words. It makes more sense to me that you already received the Holy Spirit, but fear releasing it for some reason.
The reason I held back tongues for many years was because I feared what religious people would say to me. I learned it is important to put God first and to not care what people say. Peace.
Dear Sister, speaking in tongues is only ONE of the gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT. You do NOT need to speak in tongues to be saved! Look up different verses in the WORD about speaking in tongues and it will help guide you.
