Have you ever felt like you needed to increase your vocabulary in other tongues? I mean you felt you needed to have additional words with which to communicate with the Father in other tongues? Some time ago, someone asked me “Pastor Chris, I’ve been speaking in tongues for years now, and just recently, it feels as though the tongues don’t come out as freely as I’d want them to. How do I increase my vocabulary in other tongues?”

 

Firstly, your vocabulary in tongues can increase while you’re inspired in prayer. Also, it happens while you’re listening to the Word of God and are inspired in your spirit! At such times, new tongues will whirl up in you, and it’s important that you let yourself go and speak those new tongues, even if you have to do so under your voice. That way, your spirit will pick them. But if you don’t speak them forth, you’d suppress them and remain where you were before.

 

So when new tongues whirl up within you while you’re listening to the Word of God, or praying, speak them, for they’re given to you by the Spirit to enrich your heavenly vocabulary.

 

Then also, your vocabulary in other tongues can be increased while you’re meditating on the Word. This time, you may not necessarily be in Church listening to the Word being preached or taught! You may not even be praying at the time, but you’re in deep meditation, and whilst listening within your spirit, new tongues-new words of the Spirit-will burst forth from your spirit.

 

So, to increase your vocabulary in other tongues, you have to let the inspiration of the Holy Spirit work through you, as you spend time in prayer, meditation and study of the Word.
