God deals in righteousness. You claim a gift that scripture says has ended. You claim a gift that is not defined in the scripture. Tongues are not ecstatic utterances nor are they languages that are unknowable. Such things are new age mysticism and not biblical. They are produced by the will of man and not the Holy Spirit of God.

I did not make any statements about the spirituality of anyone. Where is this coming from?
My statement. Its impossible to pray all the time in Spirit without our prayer language.
The gifts have nothing to do with how spiritual one is or isn't. I judge no one because its not my job. However, I do judge what is written, is it truth according to scripture. And I am not always right about things.
I'm just trying to get some here to think...what does the Word really say. Not our opinions...but the Word.

I'm not being critical of anyone here. My words are being twisted for some reason. These are wonderful gifts that God has given to the body of His Son, Jesus.
It might seem to be spooky before we ever experience this but it really isn't. Its supernatural yes, but God is supernatural. Hes Spirit, not flesh, and we are receiving more of Him.

I have it all. I have the presence of God, the Holy Spirit with me 24/7. He never leaves me. He does not come and go.
God knows my needs so it is not necessary for me to say a single word when I pray. I just fall on my knees and He is there saying "I know, I am here". That brings complete peace to my heart.
In the end, I just say thank you Lord.
Do you need more? Why?

Here is what I see.
You are looking for, expecting something from God.
What I have from God is eternal life, His love, His forgiveness, His ever present Spirit. All that God gives.
Because I have this I spent my time trying to do His will.
Its is not about me getting more, it is about me doing more for Him, giving more of myself to Him.
You are the one who is missing a blessing because you are expecting more from God.

I have studied Acts many times and have taught through Acts 3 times during the last 20 years. I know what it teaches, and I know the confusion and misunderstanding that many have.
Its not about rewards. Its about serving. Its about loving God. It about loving and serving our Lord and Savior Jesus.
Its about giving with no expectation of receiving.
That is where I am.
It hast taken some time, but thank God that is where I am today.
Peace and joy in Jesus.
