The Holy Spirit and the Gift of Tongues

A prayer asking for spiritual guidance, clear understanding, open heart and mind should precede every Bible study. ~ "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Cor. 2:14 NKJV
