I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all (1 Corinthians 14:18).
When we speak in tongues, we speak a unique and divine language that transcends nationalities, ethnicities and regional accents. You most likely can’t determine someone’s land of nativity, country or cultural background by hearing them pray in tongues. Whether an individual is Indian, American, British, Chinese, or Nigerian, their prayers sound unified and distinct because when we speak in tongues, it’s a divine language with Holy Ghost accent.
I once conducted a study on individuals praying in tongues from different parts of the world, and the results were phenomenal. I had participants record their prayers without any visual context—no pictures, no videos. As I listened to the audio recordings, I noticed something remarkable: it was impossible to determine where each individual was from or to identify their specific accent or nationalities. This is because praying in tongues is a spiritual language not tied to earthly regions or dialects; it’s heavenly.
Furthermore, I considered groups from various locations, separated by vast distances, all praying in tongues. Despite their geographic separation, they all sounded as though they originated from the same place. And indeed, they truly are from the same spiritual place—Christ. Think about people in distant locations, speaking the same spiritual language.
It helps to understand what the Bible says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). How could we all have this spiritual language, except for the fact that it’s by the same Holy Spirit? This is undeniable spiritual evidence of the reality and power of His ministry in and through us. Hallelujah!
So, speak in tongues more than ever before, and you’ll see your life move from one level of glory to another. Speak in tongues every day and everywhere. Take this seriously like the apostle Paul who said, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all” (1 Corinthians 14:18). He spoke in tongues more than all of them in the entire church in Corinth combined. This shows how integral speaking in tongues was to his life and ministry. Paul understood that it was a divine language unique only to us.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the gift of the Spirit and the blessing of speaking in tongues. I am edified, energized, strengthened and aligned with your perfect will for my life, and I’m led in the path of unending victory and success as I speak in tongues, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. ||
