10 Reasons Satan Does Not Want the Believer Filled and Speaking in Tongues

By James Elam

For years the body of Christ has been taught--incorrectly--that the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues ended with the early-church apostles. Yet James T. Elam Jr. sets forth in this new book that if we wish to become bold, empowered witnesses who bring glory to God and thwart the devil, then having the Holy Spirit’s power and speaking in tongues is as vital today as it was on the Day of Pentecost.

He shows why tongues is God’s supernatural way for you to:

                                                                                      

·         Walk in love.

·         Pray for God’s perfect will in your life.

·         Receive power to break every assignment of the devil. 

·         And much more.

 

James explains the benefits of this powerful, life-changing gift in simple terms, while calling all believers to be filled and empowered for greater service.

INTRODUCTION

SATAN DOES NOT want believers to gain revelation on the importance of being filled and praying in tongues. Why? Because it is a spiritual weapon that not only empowers the believer, but renders the schemes of the enemy inoperative in the believer’s life.

Many believers walk around daily saved and loving the Lord with all their hearts, but they lack this powerful gift that has been given to them by God. The enemy fights hard to keep God’s people from receiving full revelation of this gift.

Being filled in the Spirit and speaking/praying in tongues has been a long debated topic. It has caused denominational disagreements. Some believe being filled with the Spirit and speaking in tongues is of the devil. Satan has blinded their eyes so that they do not believe. His goal is to steal, kill, and destroy.
