“After we receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, a new avenue for God to operate in our lives is opened. A prayer language is given to us when we ‘speak in other tongues’ as a means to pray under the guidance of God. It must be stressed that while the baptism in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by speaking in other tongues, tongues is only a part of it. An incredible power source is made available through the baptism in the Holy Spriit. The power source is crucial for us as believers in order to change this generation for God. God wants us to tap into this source as the Church and as the people of God.”
