Feeling Nauseous When Praying in Tongues?

[KGirl]

Does anyone else feel somewhat sick when they're speaking in tongues? Sometimes I feel that way..

 

[Presbyterian Continuist]

When a person is praying in tongues, sometimes it turns to intercession for others. It is a well established principle that intercessors often sense the symptoms of the sick people they are praying for. When the symptoms disappear as the result of prayer, they have the assurance that God has heard their prayer and is going to answer it.

Never heard of such...

Never heard of such...

Ah! You have to move in the right circles, brother!

I have read testimonies of intercessors who have felt the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, etc when they have prayed for someone, and found out later that the person they prayed for was actually having a heart attack or stroke and nearly lost his life. The intercessor believed that the prayer was a factor in saving the person's life.

Of course, it may be rare in today's Pentecostal church. That might be the reason you have never heard ot it.

 

[Father Rick]

Let me re-phrase that... I do know of people who God made aware of a particular person's illness, etc. by allowing them to sense the other's pain...


However, I have never heard of someone feeling nauseous when speaking in tongues with no apparent reason...

Chapter and Verse please...

That is borderline mysticism and new age occultic bologne...

According to 1 Corinthians tongues without interpretation is for the edification of the speaker no one else. So why do you pray in tongues for someone when you are really praying for yourself. Unless you then interpret it for them. But Paul says that tongues with interpretation is for the body of Christ, not one person alone... Once again, what does Paul teach?

Kgirl - It's nonsense... What you might be experiencing is abdominal strain from intense praying, weeping. I have felt that before when I have been in intense prayer. But I would not call it a supernatual by any means.

Let me get this straight....
Are you saying when a person prays in tongues he is limited to just praying for himself?

Yes, tongues do edify the person but I think that it is reading something into the scripture to limit the operation of tongues to just personal supplication.

Personal prayer is much wider than that. It has components of worship, confession, intercession, as well as supplication. All these types of prayer edify a person in different ways. When it says that tongues edifies a believer then it is used in all forms of personal prayer to do that.

As I have said in other posts. The knowledge about what tongues is and what it can do for a person comes by revelation from God to those who have taken the steps of faith to receive the gift. Uninitiated people do not have that revelation. Therefore they will continue to misunderstand it until they actually receive it.

There are many testimonies of people who were confused and skeptical about tongues and spoke like you do - until they entered into the gift and discovered the benefits of it.

Read this...

2 For the person who speaks in another language is not speaking to men but to God, since no one understands him; however, he speaks mysteries in the Spirit. 3 But the person who prophesies speaks to people for edification, encouragement, and consolation. 4 The person who speaks in another language builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the church. 5 I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.
6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in other languages, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you with a revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
7 Even inanimate things producing sounds--whether flute or harp--if they don't make a distinction in the notes, how will what is played on the flute or harp be recognized?
8 In fact, if the trumpet makes an unclear sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 In the same way, unless you use your tongue for intelligible speech, how will what is spoken be known? For you will be speaking into the air.
10 There are doubtless many different kinds of languages in the world, and all have meaning.
11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker will be a foreigner to me.
12 So also you--since you are zealous in matters of the spirit, seek to excel in building up the church.
13 Therefore the person who speaks in another language should pray that he can interpret.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

Now show me in Scripture where it says that we edify others by speaking in tongues without interpretation?

This is absolute non-sense... So what you are saying then is that your own personal revelation is greater than the word of God? Then you better get to writting because we need to cannonize the book of Oscarr...

A friend in my care group shared that one afternoon, after he had been praying in tongues for some time, he suddenly saw a vision right before his eyes. it was a baby just born. but the baby was not moving. it was still-born. he was shocked but just continued to pray in tongues -- until the baby started moving and crying.

that is an example of intercession.

if you think that's mysticism or absolute nonsense, if it ever happens to you (maybe you see a loved one in trouble), just walk away or watch TV.

No, but for about a week every time I would kneel I would get a severe headache. I didn't think much of it, but I have never had so much pain. So I prayed that everyone would with migraine headaches would be healed, then I got an e-mail wiht a prayer request for someone who was suffering with bad migraines.

It does say that we are edifying ourselves but not necessarily that we are praying for ourselves (or anyone else for that matter). Praying for others is edifying to one's self.

Ro 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

He makes intercession for US. so it could be that if you are in trouble and can't pray, say you get knocked down by a car, He intercedes for you by praying through another willing or available vessel. Isn't He good!

I don't mean physical pains, I mean my stomache feel kind of queasy. It happends alot when I speak in tongues. I read in this one book about how the soul, spirit, body works or whatnot and that you can feel weak when you speak in tongues bc of spiritual battle or whatnot...

 

[YAWANNAKNOWJESUS?]

I so agree Oscarr intercession is much much more intense and deeper than just praying.

Rom 8:26(1161) Likewise5615 the3588 Spirit4151 also2532 helpeth4878 our2257 infirmities:769 for1063 we know1492 not3756 what5101 we should pray for4336 as2526 we ought:1163 but235 the3588 Spirit4151 itself848 maketh intercession5241 for5228 us2257 with groanings4726 which cannot be uttered.215

Rom 8:27 And1161 he that searcheth2045 the3588 hearts2588 knoweth1492 what5101is the3588 mind5427 of the3588 Spirit,4151 because3754 he maketh intercession1793 for5228 the saints40 according2596 to thewillof God.2316

In these next two verses such a deep intercession is referred to as travailing

1Th 2:9 For1063 ye remember,3421 brethren,80 our2257 labor2873 and2532travail:3449 for1063 laboring2038 night3571 and2532 day,2250 because we would not3361 be chargable1912 unto any5100 of you,5216 we preached2784 unto1519 you5209 the3588 gospel2098 of God.2316

Oh by the way here is what the Lord says about what people have experienced in Him.

Rev 12:11 And2532 they846 overcame3528 him846 by1223 the3588 blood129 of the3588 Lamb,721 and2532 by1223 the3588 word3056 of their848 testimony;3141 and2532 they loved25 not3756 their848 lives5590 unto891 the death.2288

I don't mean physical pains, I mean my stomache feel kind of queasy. It happends alot when I speak in tongues. I read in this one book about how the soul, spirit, body works or whatnot and that you can feel weak when you speak in tongues bc of spiritual battle or whatnot...

And that my love is intercession.

Did say that?
NO

I am saying that God reveals things to Christians by revelation.

Read Ephesians 1:17.

If you are bound to the letter of the Word, you are bound to a dead letter. God's Spirit working in us makes the written Word understandable to us. This is revelation.

We all know that the minds of unsaved people are darkened, and it took a revelation of God's love for us in Christ to make us see that we needed to give our lives to Christ. Many non Christians have read the written Bible yet not have accepted Christ. Why? If the written Word has powers of its own, then everyone who reads it would be converted instantly!

Such is not the case in reality, is it.....?
There needs to be a revelation of Christ before a person can be saved. Our eyes were enlightened by the Holy Spirit and we responded to the revelation.

This is the same with the baptism in the Holy Spirit and explains why so many Christians have never entered into it. They are stuck in the written Word which is a dead letter.

We need the spirit of revelation in the knowledge of Him to be able to understand what the gifts are and how they can benefit us.

Brother, if you haven't got that revelation yet, and are happy with where you are, and not prepared to seek God for any further revelation of His truth other than what you read in the written text, then you are quite free to go and do your thing. God bless you.

But don't put the rest of us down because we seek a closer walk with God through revelation of His truth to make the Scriptures alive to us.

Where did I say that personal and devotional tongues, spoken in the private prayer time with God, edifies others? How can it when only God hears it?

There are two factors in learning to read - decoding, which is being able to recognise the words, - and comprehension, which is knowing what the words mean. I suggest you check your basic reading skills....
