"And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.For they heard them SPEAK WITH TONGUES AND MAGNIFY GOD...."
What exactly are we saying or doing when we speak in other tongues ?
We are magnifying God.
_" For they heard them speak in tongues and MAGNIFY GOD"_
Notice carefully that they spoke in tongues and did what ? They MAGNIFY GOD.
Speaking in other tongues is praising, and magnifying God.
Acts 10:46 (Amplified)
_For they heard them talking in [unknown] tongues (languages) and extolling and magnifying God....,_
Acts 10:46 (NIV)
_For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God...._
Acts 10:46 (GNT)
_For they heard them speaking in strange tongues and praising God's greatness....:_
Acts 10:46 (BBE)
_And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God...._
When we speak in tongues, we are giving God all the glory; we are extolling, praising and magnifying Him.
If you learn to magnify God always, God will also magnify you before men and above every situation of life.
This explains why those who spend much time speaking in tongues daily live a life that is full of testimonies. God daily magnify those who spend much time magnifying Him.
Spending much time speaking in tongues is greatly encouraged The more you speak in tongues the better your life becomes because you are speaking by the Spirit of God, yielding to the Holy Spirit, magnifying and glorifying God.
Shalom
