Welcome to this video in this series “how to”.

We have talked about how to set people free, how to heal the sick, how to hear the voice

of God.

And today we are going to talk about how to speak in tongues.

And this is a very practical teaching, very practical video, where I come with a

lot of practical advice.

And I end up praying for all of you out there and praying

with all of you out there.

When I talk about how to speak in tongues like everything

else what is important is the truth.

Truth, not tradition.

We need the truth.

We need to know what do the word say, not what do our traditions say?

I grew up in a tradition where there were no tongues at all.

But it did not mean that my traditions were right.

In this case, my tradition was wrong.

The word is the truth.

And when I talk about tongues, we need to go in and

look at what the word says.

And it's important you understand it and the big picture and also how there are different

kinds of tongues and how do you receive the Holy Spirit?

This video series is very practical, so I will not in this series go very, very deep

into the doctrines, but I will start there to do a little commercial for another series

I've done called: fighting for the true gospel.

In the series, fighting for the true gospel I have like over three hours teaching

of the Holy Spirit.

I have one about the Holy Spirit.

I have one about the power of the Holy Spirit, and then I have an hour teaching about how

to receive the Holy Spirit.

So for you out there, if you are in a place in your life

where you really need doctrines, I encourage you to go and see this teaching.

I'll put a link in together with the video here, but this video here is not so much about

deep doctrines and what the word is saying, it is more practical.

How does it work?

How do we speak in tongues?

How do we use tongues?

What is the idea with tongues?

I want to say there also, when talking about the truth in the beginning, I

believe the truth is the tongues, the personal tongues I'm going to talk about, is for everyone.

It is for everyone.

I know the Bible is also saying, but it's not everyone who speak in tongues.

But what you need to understand is, that there are four different kind of tongues, as I see

it, four different kind of tongues.

And one of the tongues or two of the tongues, I believe, is for everyone.

When you're born again, you have it.

But then there are some tongues it's not for everyone the same way.

And let me explain it very, very short.

So for you to not get lost in tongues there are four different kind of tongues, as I see

it.

If I look at those four tongues, the first is actually what I do now because tongues

mean languages.

I speak in tongues now.

This is what the Greek word is.

It's actually just speaking with your tongues.

It is speaking a language.

When you are born in the natural, when I am born, when we got born in the flesh, in the

natural, we got a tongues.

And that first tongues, as I say, that tongues was to communicate with our father, our earthly

father and, of course, every other person around us.

So we got a natural tongues, a tongues to communicate with our father here on Earth.

But there is another tongues that is the spiritual tongues that is…

I believe it is for everyone who's born by this spirit.

They get this spiritual tongues where they also can communicate with their father.

But now with our heavenly father.

So like, the natural tongues is for us to communicate with our natural father, our earthly

father, and of course, everyone else, our spiritual tongues is to communicate with our

spiritual father…that is, where I do not speak on to man because

man do not understand me.

I speak mysteries.

I speak to my father in heaven.

I speak to God.

But there is another tongues again where you do not just speak directly to

God and you do not speak directly to man, but you speak to the body of Christ.

Or that is that tongues where the Bible says it need to be interpreted.

And there is a very clear order when you come together only speak two and three at a time.

And then we need somebody to come with the interpretation so it can build up the body.

So this is to speak with our father in heaven correction on Earth, with our father in heaven

or to build up ourselves and this is to build up the body.

And the last one is to reach the lost.

And that is also what we saw in acts 2 when people spoke in other languages, no, people

spoke in tongues and people from other nations understood what they are saying.

I tried all of it, I tried, I speak this tongue of course, I do it to you now.

I often speak this tongue to my heavenly father….every day.

I often have experienced to speak in tongues, where it is to edify the body, we did a few

days ago, we had a meeting and there came a tongue and an interpretation.

And I tried this where I got a tongues where people from other nations understood what

I was saying.

There are four different kind of tongues.

I have a video where I go much, much deeper into that.

I don't want to do that in this video, but if you want to know the difference and how

it works, I put a link in together with this video where you can go in and see how the

different tongues are.

In this video, I'm going to focus on this, the personal tongues and that I believe is

for everyone.

I believe, when you are born by this spirit, that tongues you will get, it is a gift to

you, to all of us, thereby not saying that if you don't speak in songs, you are not born

again.

But if you are born again, you have tongues, you have the gift, but you need to open your

mouth and start to use it.

And then if you don't open your mouth and start to use it and that was the same with

me.

I got the Holy Spirit.

I got born again in April, or the Holy Spirit came into me, changed my

life.

But that was several weeks before I understood that I already had tongues and I need to open

it, and that was April many years ago, but we are going to focus on the

personal prayer language, the spiritual, the tongues… where I speak… not to man, but

I speak to God.

I speak mysteries to God and it is a tongues I will not stand up in church and speak for

one hour nonstop because then people in church will not understand what I'm saying.

There I better speak five words with my mouth and then edifying the church.

So this prayer language is for you between you and God and not in church, and you don't

go out to the lost on the street and start to speak to them there, because they will

not understand it, unless you experience this kind of tongues where the Holy Spirit come

over you and you get a tongue where people actually understand you.

And I want to say, I want to say about this tongues, that personal tongues, that personal

prayer language, this is powerful.

There is a secret behind that, there is so much more

in that personal prayer language than people understand today.

If we take a person like Paul, Paul, he said, I thank

God in Corinthians 14, 18.

I thank God that I speak more in tongues than anyone else.

Paul, he spoke in tongues all the time.

He spoke in tongues more than anyone else.

And I think that was the secret to his life.

If you look at Paul, Paul was the one in 1.

Corinthians 11,1 who said, Imitate me as I imitate Christ or follow me as I follow Christ.

Paul said, Imitate me, look at my life and follow me like I follow Christ.

Paul had a very, very strong relationship with Jesus, and we all know that, also read

the Bible.

It is interesting it was Paul who said it, not John, not James, not Peter.

Do you know John, James and Peter and the rest of the 12 was walking

with Jesus here on Earth.

They saw Jesus do miracles.

Paul never saw that.

They went to Jesus house.

Paul never went to Jesus house.

They did Q&A with Jesus.

Paul never did that.

They walked with Jesus for three years in the flesh.

Paul never did that.

But Paul was the guy who wrote most of the New Testament, and Paul was the guy who said:

Imitate me as I imitate Christ.

Paul, if you never walked with Jesus in the flesh, if you never went to Jesus house, if

you never saw Jesus do one miracle, how can you know Jesus the way he did it?

By the spirit.

Paul, what is the secret?

I don't know, but I know one thing, he spoke, in tongues more than anyone else, and this

is how it should be.

We should speak in tongues as much as we can, because there

is a big, big secret there to our personal life with God.

But after Paul said, I speak in tongues more than anyone else, he then said in church,

I read or speak five words you understand than 10000 words in tongues.

I even not stand up for one hour and speak non-stop in tongues to people, in church he

spoke a language people understood and the same of course I'm doing in this video.

I will not I will not do a half hour video where I speak in tongues, you will not get

anything out of it.

But in my prayer life, I guarantee you I speak in tongues as much as I can.

Why?

Because I believe there is a secret when it comes to your personal life with God.

So we are going to look at what is the secret, what is it tongues is doing?

First thing tongues is doing is: tongues is building up yourself.

This is one of the things tongues do.

Put it there.

Building up yourself.

1.Corinthians 14,4 is saying this: The one who speak in tongues

edify himself.

The word edify.

If you go in and look at the strong concordance, in strong concordance

is G 3618 and it actually mean build a house you are

building up a house, edify yourself or build up a house is the same word Jesus use in Matthew,

17, when he said: Don't build your house on sand, but build your house on rock, it is

the same word.

When we speak in tongues, we edify ourselves or we are building up the temple of the Holy

Spirit, you are building up that temple of the Holy Spirit.

The House for the Holy Spirit, when you speak in tongues,

when I'm speaking in tongues…, I am building up myself, or God is building a house in me

for the Holy Spirit to rest.

And this is the same word.

We are building up ourselves as a temple of the Holy Spirit.

That is one of the things.

Do you want more of the Holy Spirit in your life?

Speak in tongues, speaker in tongues as much as you can,… built up that

temple of the Holy Spirit, so So the Holy Spirit can dwell in you.

That is one of the things the Bible says.

Another thing, the Bible says, is that when we speak in tongues, we said, when you speak

in tongues, you do not speak on to man, but to God, because no one understands you, you

speak mysteries to God.

When you speak in tongues, you speak mysteries to God.

And this is what we read in 1.

Corinthians 14, 2: For him that speak in an unknown tongues speak not on to man but to

God, for no one understand him.

What you speak in the spirit, and then in the spirit, he speaks mysteries.

So when we speak in tongues, we speak mysteries to God.

What do that mean that it is mysteries we cannot know?

No, it is mysteries we can know, because speaking in tongues is part of our

prayer language.

The Bible says here in Romans, 8,26: For the Holy Spirit help us in our weakness for example

we don't know what we should pray for.

But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings, that cannot expressed with words.

So the Holy Spirit helps us, and sometimes it can be with deep, deep, deep pain, where

you are in a situation, where you just have so much pain and you don't know how to put

words on it.

Words is not enough and there, when you speak in tongues …

you, you really speak the Holy Spirit, intercede for you and speak, pray and help you in your

prayer life, but it is also: When we pray, according

to God's will, the Bible says, we have already received what we pray for, the question is,

how do you know what Gods will is?

How do you know what Gods will is?

Read the Bible! people say.

Correct!

Read the Bible.

But it's not anything that's written in the Bible.

Let's say you're going to buy a new car.

Shall I buy a Ford or shall I buy a Honda?

Where do you find Ford in the Bible?

Where do we find Honda in the Bible?

Me for example: Where shall I live in Florida or California, Florida or California?

Honda or Ford?

Who to marry?

There are so many questions in our lives.

What job to get?

How do we know what Gods will is?

The spirit intercede with you.

So when I stand in a place like: God, oh, do you want me to go to Florida right now

or go to California?

Oh, God, Florida, California, Florida, California?...

Florida , God …. Florida , God…California….Oh yeah.

Oh,…you pray mysteries and then you can feel how suddenly it raise up in you and something

rise up from your innermost being to the surface,

to your mind.

And then suddenly…oh God I thank you for Florida right now.

Thank you for what you're doing there.

Oh God, thank you, God.

And this is how I experienced it.

If I need to buy a new car for example: God shall I buy the Ford or buy the Honda Accord,

Sheila.

But they, they they they fought God, Sheila, the Honda....

God, Ford, God?...Honda, God?

What direction do you want me to go here?

God, lead me… so I pray in tongues and my mind is focused on those things, and the Holy

Spirit intercede with me and help me my prayer life so … God, what to do, what to do, the

Holy Spirit, take over and lead me in a direction where yes, yes, God, I thank you for the Ford,

thank you all for giving us this Ford, God.

Thank you for your will and then by that, by speaking in tongues and interceding in

this, the Holy Spirit lead you and then you can pray out in your own language.

And then you can pray according to God's will and believe, that you will receive what you

are praying for.

And therefore satan is a liar and he is trying to destroy tongues.

Why?

Because it builds up yourself.

It builds up a temple for the Holy Spirit and we speak mysteries, but mysteries, the

spirit can, you can translate or the spirit can help you in it, where you in your prayer

life…speaking in tongues and then it comes to you.

And this is very, very powerful and satan don't want us to live a powerful life.

And that's why he tried to hinder us in speaking tongues.

And I want to say right in front that those people who say that tongues is not for today:

Show me their spiritual life!

They don't have the same testimonies of being led by the Spirit the same way as others,

also with healing and casting out demons and all of that.

Why?

Because they don't build up themselves the way they're supposed to, and they don't know

how it is to be led by the spirit the same way, if you spoke in tongues.

I don't say they don't have any testimony, they have, but not the same.

So this is a big secret.

Another thing with tongues is, beside that is, that you are really connecting with God.

This is what you do with tongues: You connect with God and it is really connecting with

God to become one with him.

And there is something powerful in this to connect with God.

I will use an example here.

I know tongues sound for many weird, it sounds weird for me first time I heard it as the

Bible says.

I came into a church and people spoke in tongues and I thought they were all crazy.

But short time later I received the Holy Spirit and I spoke in tongues and it became very,

very natural for me.

When we talk about speaking in tongues, you connect with God and I will use the example

of the old modem.

If you remember the old modem, that dial to the internet,

beep, beep, beep, beep, beep beep.

I've actually put a sound in here for you who are not old enough to remember that.

But years ago, when we first got internet, we did not have the LAN Internet connection

we have now.

We had like a small modem that was dialing up to the internet over the telephone cable

and dialing up, and then we could get information on our computer.

And it sounds like this.

Yeah, it is not the most beautiful sound, but this is how it sounds like.

But when you were connected to the internet, you could get everything down on your computer.

This is the way to connect with God.

And out of this, it's so much easier to go from speaking tongues to prophesying, in speaking

tongues, seeing visions.

And I talked in the last lesson about hearing the voice of God and there I talked about

how God spoke to us with a still voice very often, I talked about visions and dreams and

prophecies, and all of that is so much easier to step into and experience, if you speak

in tongues and God doesn't want us to just stop with tongues, you want us to use it to

connect with God to walk into the supernatural.

Another thing with speaking tongues is that you become full of this spirit.

You become full of this spirit when you speak in tongues.

The Bible says, Jesus said that from our innermost being it shall run out as living water and

there they talked about the spirit of God.

We need to be full of the spirit.

Ephesians, I can read it here, Ephesians 5,18 is saying this: Don't be drunk with wine because

it would ruin your life.

Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit - that is a command to us.

We should not be drunk by wine.

Why this is going to destroy our life.

We should instead be full of the spirit, be filled with the spirit.

And then you continue: Singing songs and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing

spiritual songs, singing tongues also or sing, worship God.

So we have got a command…Praise God in new tongues in your worship, tongues is part of

our prayer life.

Tongues is part of our singing live.

Tongues is part of our life with God, where we are becoming full of the spirit.

And this is a command we have got to be full of this spirit.

And it goes when I speak in tongues…it's coming from the spirit from deep inside of

me….and is running out, it is coming out of me…Something from

our innermost being is running out.

We are being full of the spirit.

And when you are full of this spirit?

There is wisdom, there's understanding, there's power, there is boldness.

Look at Peter.

Peter before the spirit came and fill him up: Jesus, I'll never deny you, never!

But he has the same day, the same night before the rooster crowed two times he denied him

three times.

But after Peter had this spirit…he stood with a boldness like never before.

He stood with a power like never before.

The boldness and the power that is coming by the spirit.

And I feel it.

I feel sometimes if I'm standing in a situation where I feel intimidated when I feel fearful,

where I feel lack of power, what do I do?...

I really take and pray….and I can feel like it's coming up….And what is happening?

Boldness.

Power.

Boldness and power and everything else is coming by the Spirit.

Satan is a liar and that's why he wants to keep this away from the body and say: no,

no tongues is only for a few, no, not this personal tongues.

This and this is for a few.

It is not something you can do when you want to.

But this is for all of us.

See my teaching fighting for the true gospel.

So tongues is part of this, there is more.

Tongues is part of our armor of God.

Tongues is part of this, tongues is part of the armor of God.

Ephesians 6 is talking about that we are in a war, and it is talking about the belt of

truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith,

the word of God, that is the sword as the word of God.

And we read about that in Ephesians 6. and you have heard about the armor of God

many times, I believe, but we stop in verse 17.

I think it is, the next verse after we are read about the

armor of God, the next verse is: and pray in this spirit and pray in this spirit.

The armor of God is all of this we read about with the truth,

with the righteousness, with the salvation helmet, with the shield of faith, with the

word of God, with the truth, shoes, to go out with the good news and pray in the spirit.

Pray in the spirit.

This is part of our spiritual warfare.

We can experience attacks sometimes, where satan, our enemy come over us with attacks

like I've experienced very crazy attacks, spiritual attacks and I'm not yet, but I already

have all the armor of God with.

But I need to pray in the spirit.

I need to fight in the spirit…I go against that lie in the name of Jesus …very attack

in my mind, go right now in the name of Jesus…and take and speak in tongues and go into war,

praying in this spirit, praying in this spirit.

And this is so powerful.

This is part of the war, part of the weapon in the spiritual war we are in.

And also, when I cast out demons, I often also prayed there and sometimes I don't know

like what to pray.

And I often just praying in tongues…demon come out.

And you know what demons don`t like it, you know, demons don`t like it and demons are

leaving.

So this is a little of what it is when it come to tongues.

So I would just put it all together and then I'll give you a few

practical advices, and then I will pray for you and I'll pray with you.

So how to speak in tongues is what we are talking about.

We need the truth, not the tradition and the and the truth is that there are different

kinds of tongues.

Many don't understand that.

We read that very clear in the Bible.

And I see there are four kind of tongues when you're born in a natural, you get a language

so you can communicate with your earthly father, when you're born in the spirit, you get a

language, so you can communicate with your spiritual father, to say it like that, this

is for everyone who is born when you are born in the flesh.

Everyone have a language when you're born in the spirit, I believe, everyone has a language,

but you need to start to use it.

It's not often it's not always it come by itself.

And then there is a tongue when we come together to edify a church where two and three speak

in the time, and then we need somebody to interpret.

We don't need the interpretation there and there.

But this time we need it, Somebody from outside to come with the interpretation.

This is not something we can just do when we want to, I cannot say you come with a tongue,

you come with the interpretation, that is the spirit who is doing that.

And then we have a tongue where we, we speak suddenly and people from other nations understand

it.

For example I have a friend who was in Africa.

He heard a woman speak fluent Danish and it hit him so hard and he went to talk with her

and she did not speak Danish, she has spoken in tongues.

But that was not what he heard.

He heard that Danish and I tried to have a tongue where people understand it, and every

time that happened is powerful and we need to see more of that.

But the personal tongues, this one.

It do different things in our life.

It builds up yourself.

It builds up yourself, it is strengthen yourself.

It builds up the temple of the Holy Spirit in you, so you can have more of the spirit

and you speak in tongues as much as you can, be like Paul and say: I speak in tongues more

than anyone else.

You also speak mysteries to God…when you speak in tongues, you don't speak to man,

no one understand, you to speak to God.

You speak mysteries, but you can pray in your prayer and put your mind on this issue….God,

help me.

What are you saying right now?....

Lead me by your Holy Spirit, God, speak to me...And you can feel like the Holy Spirit leads.

And it's not something to happen every time.

But sometimes you can feel like the Holy Spirit, just come …and you really know how to pray

and you get revelation.

So pray for revelation.

You also connect with God, becoming one with him in tongues and it transform everything

in your life.

The more one with him you are, the more the world will see and believe and all of it.

You also become full of the spirit.

We are commanded to be full of the spirit and continue being full of the spirit, and

one of them is speaking in tongues because it will run out of you, like living water.

So if you feel lack of boldness to go out to speak to somebody about…come with boldness,

God,…fill me up, right now…If you feel weak …come with strength right now, call

me boldness right now in the name of Jesus, come with power.

If you feel you lack power….you can feel like that power, that strength is coming and

then you can go out and do what you need to do with boldness and strength and power.

That is also coming by Speaking tongues.

It is a part of the spiritual warfare when the enemy's coming and attack you from all

areas and you don't know, where it is coming from, Speaking in tongues, go against it in

the name of Jesus, I go against every lie, every attack on me and my family….But I

command that to leave…and then you pray.

You speak in tongues.

Use it in your warfare, In this spiritual warfare.

So that is what we talked about.

When we look at tongues, when I speak in tongues, I start with Sheila… often…I don't know

why, it is just how it is.

The way I see it.

I pray for many people receiving tongues where many is like: It just explode out of them.

I never tried that myself untill today, I never tried it explode out of me, I never

tried like, kaboom, it just came.

No, I got the spirit.

But I did not speak because I did not know there was anything that was tongues.

And then people prayed for me later and talked with me and said: open your mouth and speak

and I opened my mouth, just say the first verse, let it out.

And I start….

And it's like when you start Sheila… imagine a tub of water, You turn the throng on what it's

called, and then suddenly it will run out ….So I start Sheila.

And then it's like, and I don't know if Sheila… the first words is for me, my flesh or is

this spirit.

I don't know if it's my mind or the spirit whose brain,

but I know when I start, Sheila…I can continue and don't need to think of every word, it

is not like, what is the word saying?

It just running, flowing out of me, like living water, it just coming out.

So don't compare.

Don't wait for that big explosion.

Sometimes it comes.

With me It was not like that.

Not in the beginning.

I think it was not like that for a month or two.

But then sudddenly, I experienced a change and now I tried a different kind of tongues

and I tried in the spiritual warfare, and I feel how I'm getting full of the spirit.

So I have no doubt, I have no doubt today that my tongues is real, but there was a period

in my life where I was doubting.

So I believe it's for everyone, I will pray for you first out there who have who had repented

and was baptized in water but had not yet received the Holy Spirit, or you are not sure

if you speak in tongues or feel not sure with it.

I will pray for you right now and I want you to start to speak where you are.

Be bold.

Just say the first word.

Let it out if it is, don't be afraid.

Yeah, but what if I say something that is wrong?

My own flesh?

It can be in the beginning, but by you starting to see the Holy Spirit can come easy and take

over and suddenly it becomes by the spirit.

And that is what we want to see.

So let us pray together and I will pray for you, and then I would pray something with

you afterwards.

Close your eyes all of you who want the Spirit and just pray after me!

And then when I pray for you in tongues and say, now, you need to start to speak in tongues.

Don't think, just let it out!

Ready?

Pray after me.

God, I come to you right now and I repent and ask you to forgive me.

Set me free in Jesus name and come with your Holy Spirit and fill me up right now.

Holy Spirit, come over them.

Come over them right now, Holy Spirit!

Open your mouth, just starting!

Speak now.

Let it out, don`t think too much.

Just let it out.

Let it out!

And you just let it out!

hallelujah, and I believe some of you have received it, if you have not received tongues.

Go back to the gospel, repent and get baptized and you shall receive the gift of the Holy

Spirit, it is for all, everyone out there, your sons, your daughters, everyone God is

calling.

For you now who have tongues, so you who have not yet, if it is, contact us and we can put

you togetger with somebody, go on TLRmap.com and find somebody near you who are green on

the map and they can help you.

For you who have tongues, I want to do something with you: Look at my mouth now.

When I pray, you pray.

When I stop, you stop.

When I pray loud, you pray loud.

When I say pray quiet, you pray quiet.

So just you like me.

Now.

…. Stop, louder….

Stop, louder….

stop.

Let's shout.

……stop.

The reason I often do this is because you need to get used to it.

You need to start and stop and start and stop.

I pray for one last week who got the Holy Spirit

actually a few days ago out on the beach, receive the Holy Spirit.

The day after she came to the meet, I met again.

Hey, you got the Holy Spirit yesterday?

Yes, it was powerful.

Yes.

Have you spoken since?

No, no, why not?

It having come to me, no, no, no, no.

You received it, but you only received one time.

Now you have it, now it is up for you to use it as much as possible.

Look at my mouth.

Speak now….

stop and I did this with her to get her used to using it again.

Use it, Stop.

Use it, Stop.

Use it, Stop, get used to it.

And also I want: speak loud because some people there have never shouted in tongues, there

is a difference, …. If I drive a car and speak in tongues, and my mind is on thousand

of other things.

And then in my prayer language, focus on something ….Holy Spirit help me right now!

And then if I pray from inside here.

….Holy Spirit come now…… shouting in tongues…

There is a difference between this, so you can use it.

You drive a car.

That's fine.

You still build up yourself, but you don't get anything out of it in your mind unless

you're using your prayer language and help to pray in your prayer language so the Holy

Spirit can lead it and then in the spiritual warfare you need to really go in and fight….so,

I hope this teaching help you a lot, and it will be a blessing to you.

I know it's very practical, and I know there's a lot of skeptical, critical people out there,

who will criticize everything I said and say, No, no, no, Torben, you are not allowed to

speak in tongues in front of people.

I am, because it's part of my teaching and it is part of training and all of this.

Yeah, but we are seeing you speaking in tongues out on the street.

Yeah, but you have to understand context.

Paul said about speaking in tongues, he said in church.

He said, I'll rather speak in five words with my mouth and 10.000 words in tongues.

It's not like he's forbidding people to speak in tongues.

I just said that these people will always be skeptical, critical.

This teaching was not theology, but go in and look at this teaching

“fighting for the true gospel” and you can get theology and go deeper and see this

is really, what the word is saying.

Yes.

God bless out there.

Speak in tongues more than anyone else.

Build up yourself and I'll come out with more teaching later of how to do different things.

God bless you.

Bye bye.
