THE WORST  THING  THAT  CAN HAPPEN?

  Having taken the above steps, what is the very worst thing that could happen?  Here is a short list of the worst things that could happen:

  1.  That you are not sincere, or, are not right with God, or, that you try to practice this, or any of the gifts of the Spirit, without having a sweet and tender, right spirit and heart attitude.

  We must NEVER try to do or say anything when our hearts are not right and sweet.  A Kingdom Principle to remember is: "Everything in our spirits and in our hearts, becomes broadcast in every thing we do and say."  Therefore, it is very important that we never try to preach or communicate or move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, if we are bitter, or critical, or arrogant, unloving, or, are in any way, aware of sin in our lives.  The Bible says, "Let all things be done unto edifying (or building up or encouragement)."  In other words, if what you have to share in a public Christian service is not going to encourage the people, then either 1) do not say it, or, 2) say it privately to the pastor or leader, or to the person about whom you have a problem.  But, first if all, through repentance and humility, make certain that your own heart is right with God.

  2.  That you do not try to enter in.  Hebrews 5:14  Most people do not experience many good things, simply because they do not try.

  3.  That you give up?  My son Joshua has written a rap "Never Give Up, My Friends, No, Never!"  The Bible is full of Scriptures that teach the principle of persistence.  Gal.6:9; Heb.12, etc.

  But let's say that you make the attempt and only end up saying "gibberish", or say something that means simply nothing at all in any language?  What is God going to do in that case?  Will He slap you?  When a child is learning to talk, and finally at long last begins to talk, and instead of saying "Father", in clear and concise English, says, "Da da", do you, as the parent slap your child and demand that it speak clearly??  Oh no!  You encourage the child, and, pretty soon, it is speaking clearly!  Can you imagine after taking the above 14 steps with all sincerity, and boldly stepping out in faith, and saying something that means nothing, the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit will look over at you, trying your best, and they will say, "This person needs our help.  Let's go help him or her out!"  And, so They do!  They move into the situation and gently help and enable you to speak fluently in whatever language they desire you to speak. 

  4.  That you let your (or somebody else's') natural mind talk you out of it.

  One of the problems with speaking a different language is that our mouth and ear and tongue may not be used to speaking in a guttural, or sing-song or nasal kind of way, like many languages utilize.  For you to try speaking German, French, Chinese, etc., calls for you to use vocal parts in ways that at first may sound funny to your ear.  But, if you will gently relax your speaking parts, and sweetly allow the Holy Spirit to help you, soon you will be speaking fluently and beautifully in other languages.  Yes, I said "other languages".  The Lord knows how to speak every language in heaven and on earth, so gently let Him speak however and whatever languages and sounds He wants to speak through you, including English or your native tongue.  Amen.

  Let me repeat step number 14.  "Live happily ever after!"  Amen!
