Often times we play around with certain words as we use them in our regular expressions. However, certain times come when these words get forged together to give rise to a certain statement that comes alive with a feeling of shock and awe, creating a strong definition to something straight from the spiritual, which comes with a strong definition of perfection that conveys reality. "Never thought of it this way before" becomes our statement of conviction on the great revelation that just emerged from the Almighty God. Such was the feeling that greeted me when the inspiration for the writing of this book was carved upon the tablets of my heart by the Holy Spirit. The things I already knew as concerning the subject of this book, I never knew could be put together in such a fashion to tell the tale that could clearly connect the source of life Himself, as watching Him play a consistent role in the narrative of the the drama of prayer, praying/speaking in tongues. There are certain questions you have thus always pondered upon while considering the subject of speaking in tongues. A number of them highlighted below: - Why did God provide for us the option of praying/speaking in tongues?- Do you know the things that happen in the spirit when we speak/pray in tongues? - What realities distinguish praying in tongues from praying in our understanding? - How much do we achieve within a short when when we pray in tongues? - Have you ever wondered which is the most effective mode of prayer? - Is it possible for Satan to block the answers to our prayers from reaching us?- Why was the answer to Daniel's prayers delayed by the Prince of Persia?- How can our prayers address the things that we don't envisage?The Unseen Dynamics of Speaking in Tongues unravels the mysteries that surround the above questions and much more as you read through. The book does not focus much on the definitive aspect of speaking in tongues nor does it teach how to speak in tongues. These details will be addressed in the second volume of this book (Vol. 2) that offers deeper insight into such mysteries. It does however focuses more on the spiritual activities that are pioneered in the spirit realm when you speak/pray in tongues, highlighting also the analysis and technical aspects of speaking in tongues. This book is arguably the most revealing and concise material you would read that gives deep details into the invisible happenings and manifestations around Christians when they speak/pray in tongues. May the Almighty God through His son Jesus Christ by the instrumentality of the Spirit of wisdom furnish you with understanding as you read through.

Almost 40 years ago John and Elizabeth Sherill introduced the world to the phenomenon of 'speaking in tongues' in their book, They Speak with Other Tongues. The book was an immediate success as thousands were touched by the power of this spiritual gift. The Hidden Power of Speaking in Tongues again explores this spiritual experience powerfully prevalent in the early church. This much maligned and controversial gift was a practical part of their worship and intercession and seeks to be rediscovered in our day. In a day of spiritual poverty, Chavda challenges the Body of Christ to experience afresh the secret dynamic of 'speaking in tongues', as he removes the veil covering this glorious gift.

Speaking in tongues (glossolalia) is a common spiritual phenomenon in the Pentecostal and Charismatic streams of the Christian church. Such Christians believe that when they speak in tongues they are communicating with God in a language that they have never learned--spiritual prayer language given to them by the Holy Spirit. This innovative volume seeks to enhance our understanding and appreciation of glossolalia by examining it from a range of different angles. Christian scholars from diverse academic disciplines bring to bear the insights of their own specialist areas to shed new light on the practice of speaking in tongues. The disciplines include: New Testament Studies--Max Turner Theology--Frank D. Macchia History--Neil Hudson Philosophy--James K. A. Smith Linguistics--David Hilborn Sociology--Margaret M. Poloma Psychology--William K. Kay A final chapter by Mark J. Cartledge seeks to show how all of these perspectives can work together and enrich a Christian appreciation of the gift of tongues.

"In the dimly lit fireside room of the First Presbyterian Church, a small circle of members quietly listened to their pastor say, 'The Lord is in your presence....Empty yourselves of all other thoughts...let all your anxieties flow out of you....Open your mouth, and he will give you utterance.'" Witnessed by the author, this and many other examples of speaking in tongues form the basis of his examination of the phenomenon of glossolalia. A spoken but unintelligible form of prayer described in the New Testament, speaking in tongues was confined to a dew isolated sects until recently. Now it has found a way into mainline Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, bringing spiritual exuberance to an increasing number while offending others. Spurred by the controversy surrounding tongue-speaking, Dr. Kildahl, a psychotherapist, conducted interviews with tongue-speakers in depth over a period of ten years. Sponsored originally by the American Lutheran Church and later by the National Institute of Mental Health, he traveled coast to coast listening to tongue-speakers describe their practice, recording their utterances, and observing their groups. From the most intensive firsthand study of the subject ever undertaken, he has written this account of the psychology of speaking in tongues. Hearing tongue-speakers report their enhanced feelings of well-being, Dr. Kildahl investigated the relationship of the practice to mental health. Here he describes the crucial role of the tongue-speaking leader in the lives of those who adopt the practice from him, as well as the relationship of speaking in tongues to anxiety and spiritual crisis. He tells what he found about the interpretation of tongues and about the connections between tongue-speaking and hypnosis. In this book Dr. Kildahl also surveys the historical background of speaking in tongues, beginning with biblical references and continuing to the current generation. Perspective is added through summaries of what other contemporary writers have said about the practice. For observers of the religious scene, as well as for those familiar with tongue-speaking, Dr. Kildahl has written this sensitive and scientific account of an increasingly frequent religious experience."-Publisher.

Have you ever wondered why your prayer language doesn’t sound like real words? And why is it so repetitive? Why does it usually start with the same few words or syllables? Maybe you’ve asked those questions at times. We’ve asked the same questions—and quite a few others—regarding the gifts of tongues and interpretation of tongues. Then we sought the Lord for understanding of these gifts and did our best to operate in them faithfully. He gave us many insights and answers, and then brought it all together in a book. That was something we never really planned. It just sort of happened. We aren’t megachurch pastors. We don’t lead multi-national ministries. But we did have a calling from the Lord to write a book and spread a message. What exactly is that message? Speaking in tongues and interpreting tongues are powerful gifts with practical use for everyday people like us. When people operate in these gifts, God blesses the person operating in the gift, but He also blesses the people around them. Other Questions We Explore in the Book: What does speaking in tongues feel like emotionally? What is the purpose of speaking in tongues? What are the benefits?
