SID: I told you that we have uncovered the ancient key to the power of the first Jewish believers in the Messiah, and it’s right in the Scriptures. Let me read this to you. Acts, Chapter 6, Verse 4. And I’ll read it first in the English, and then I’ll read you what the Greek says. This is the English. It’s the apostles and they’re saying, “We will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.” You’re familiar with that. But this is what it says in the Greek: “We will give ourselves continually to THE Word and THE prayer.” What was THE prayer? Paul will give you a clue. He said in First Corinthians 14, Verse 18, “I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all.” He was southern, y’all. The man that wrote most of the New Testament thought it was important enough to speak in tongues more than anyone else. And in 1 Corinthians 14:5, in the Greek, it says, “I want you all to speak in tongues.” That should close the case. I want you all to speak in tongues.
Now you must be born again in order to get the gift of the Spirit of God and along with the gift comes different gifts. And everyone has the ability to speak in THE prayer, because otherwise Paul would not have said, “I want you all to speak in tongues.” But there are special types of tongues that not everyone has that gift. For instance, if you’re in a congregation you might speak in tongues and someone will have an interpretation. Not everyone has that gift, but everyone Paul wants to speak in THE prayer language. And so if you’re born again I’m going to teach you just briefly, and we’re going to have a miracle happen for you right at home, right where you’re watching, right now a miracle is going to happen for you. You are going to speak prayers, perfect prayers with perfect faith for the rest of your life. Do you want that? Okay.
Now Acts 2:4 says, “And they,” emphasis on the word “they”. “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.” Who spoke with other tongues? “They” spoke with other tongues. Did the Holy Spirit do the speaking? “They” spoke with other tongues. Here’s the deal. You don’t open your mouth and make a sound, no one else will. You’re saying, I’m waiting for God to take over my tongue. I’m glad you weren’t, Peter. I mean, we made fun of some of the things Peter did. But he walked on water. Do you know why he walked on water? Jesus is walking water and Peter says, “That’s pretty cool. Can I do that?” Would you think that? Could I walk on water like that? And so Peter said, “If you move my legs for me I’ll come to you.” No, he didn’t say that. He stood up. He knew how to walk. He’d been doing it his whole life. No big trick. And swings his foot out. Who did the walking? Who does the talking? We do. And supernatural languages. You get it? Peter walked. Here’s what happened. Peter did his part and God did His part. Your part is to speak from your spirit. I don’t know what to say. So far, you’re perfect. It’s called unknown tongues. Perfect. A-plus. But what if it’s not from God? Well what if it is from God?
My Bible says if a child asks for bread, his father is not going to give him a stone. How much more will He give the Holy Spirit to those who ask in the name of Jesus? Get it straight. You’re either a believer or you’re not a believer. So I want everyone that had either has never prayed in supernatural languages, that’s you at home, or has, but didn’t realize what they were missing, to stand up. And the others, I’ll pray for your salvation. Come on, stand up. Come on. Come on or I’ll embarrass you on international TV. Give me a break. Okay. Now remember what I just taught you. Don’t be like Peter, saying, I don’t get out of the boat. That’s Peter Jones. You don’t know him. Be like Peter in the Bible. Get out of the boat. Talk by faith as quickly as you can. Say out loud, in Jesus name.
Audience: In Jesus name.
SID: Take the words that come out of my mouth.
Audience: Take the words that come out of my mouth.
SID: As worship unto you.
Audience: As worship unto you.
SID: Begin to praise him. [speaking in tongues]
Audience: [speaking in tongues]
SID: Stop, stop, stop. Why did I say stop? I wanted to show you have total control. This is the only gift of the spirit. You can stop and start praying in English. You can stop and start praying when it’s from your spirit. Now I want you to just concentrate that you’re speaking from your spirit. Drop down right now and begin to speak in tongues again. [speaking in tongues]. Drop down. Do that little lesson. Stop for a second. I want to teach you something. I don’t know if you heard me, but I found out that when I have prayed through or accomplished the major thing God wanted when I was praying in a language that I didn’t understand, things that I didn’t even know, I have found I start not laughing hysterically, but laughing in tongues. There’s a difference. And I don’t know if you heard me, and I’m just going to do it for your sake right now. But I was doing this before in the spirit. I said something like this: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. The Holy Spirit is saying, devil I got you again. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Come on, again. [speaking in tongues]. No, not ha, ha, ha, tongues. [speaking in tongues].

SID: Next week on It’s Supernatural. My guest is a prophet and through his own family, he showed him a supernatural strategy. He says if this strategy is followed you will not lose your children, you will not lose your grandchildren. You will not lose your great-grandchildren.
