Do you HAVE to speak in tounges every time you pray to please god or what?
A person whom has the gift of tongues can't speak in tongues whenever they chose. It is God speaking through them. They do not have control over what they speak. For it is the Holy Ghost that has the power.

Ditto on thatBack up there sister.
I can switch this gift He has given on at anytime, any day, and any moment. It is my spirit that prays according to scripture, not The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can prompt a person to yield to His leading and switch the gift on in the assembly, but the gift we are given is not dependant on Him turning it on, we can.
so the more i use it the better i become at it right? which in turn magnifys my prayer and allows me to go and do more with my spirit,walk and needs?
What I'm saying is that a person can speak in tongues when they chose. what I mean is if it isn't God's will for that person to speak at that moment, they shouldn't try and speak in tongues. The bible says to try the spirits to see if it be of God or not. One evening at church this woman wasn't paying a bit of the service more than the man in the moon. All of a sudden she started speaking in tongues. And pointed at me. I tried her spirit and I said, Lord if you have a message for me that is speaking through this woman, then bring it on, I need to hear it. but if she is doing this in self, then let her be quite and sit her down. Within a few seconds, she shut up and she sat down. Speaking in tongues is not like a sprinkler system, you can't turn it on or off when you want. It is the power of the Holy Ghost working through that person.Back up there sister.

I agree with this statement and with it I'll add that the bible says that God has given each of us a gift or gifts, and he told Paul to stir up the gift inside. I have the gift of discernment and at times it is a blessing, but other times, not so much a blessing. Because God reveals things to me that I really didn't want to know about others.Back up there sister.
