Tongues

In this teaching, I examine the purpose of tongues from the angle of  why out of all God could do as a sign of His Holy Spirit baptism, He chooses tongues. We will examine Genesis 11 in light of tongues, how the audience affects how tongues are used, what happens in the supernatural realm when you speak in tongues, and what happens to the Satan’s kingdom when you pray in tongues.

Medical Facts about Speaking in Tongues

Medical Facts About Speaking In Tongues – Carl R. Peterson, M.D

June 14, 2011The Gospel of Grace

Dear Friends,

First a caveat, I am not a Charismatic but I am fortunate to recieve the gift of tongues even without anyone laying his or her hands on me.

Secondly, this note is not only for people who do not believe in the gift of tongues but those who don’t understand why God would give such a gift as his first gift to the church and whether is it relevant today.

I ask that you read it with an open mind. My intention is to bring praise to God for such a gift and pray that those of you who have recieve such a gift use it for His glory. To those who do not think it is relevant- think again. To those who has it but do not use it – Use it. To those who abuse it – Speak with understanding. Grace and peace to you.

“The Physical Benefit of Speaking in Tongues

God has made provision for you and I to be whole, to be well and to have access to His healing process. There is a study that has been done by Dr. Carl Peterson, M.D. (the husband of author and evangelist Vickie Jamison Peterson). This Study revealed that there is an available healing power that can be released from our own bodies for our own benefit. Dr. Carl Peterson, M.D. worked on this study at ORU in Tulsa, Oklahoma a few years ago. Being a brain specialist he was doing research on what the relationship was between the brain and praying or speaking in tongues. Some amazing things were discovered.

Through research and testing he found out that as we pray in the Spirit, or worship in the Spirit, (our heavenly language) there is activity that begins to take place in our brain. As we engage in our heavenly language the brain releases 2 chemical secretions that are directed into our immune systems giving a 35 to 40 percent boost to the immune system. This promotes healing within our bodies. Amazingly this secretion is triggered from a part of the brain that has no other apparent activity in humans and is only activated by our Spirit led prayer and worship.

Before the fall of man did God in His perfect creation provide for the total healing of mankind in this manner? As Adam walked and communicated with the Father in the Garden was this close and intimate fellowship and communication causing divine health to flow in his body? Just something for us to think about. God is the restorer of all things. As we exercise our life in the “Spirit” by speaking in our heavenly language that He has put within us, we are touching the supernatural power of God and we are letting Him restore part of what was lost.

Now science has proved the process and you and I can turn this healing process on by our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Just one more great reason to be filled with the Holy Spirit and commune with the Father in your “Heavenly Language.” According to the Holy Spirit, speaking through the apostle Paul: “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself” (1 Corinthians 14:4). We always thought of the edification as only spiritual edification, which is great and always needed, but Christian psychiatrist Carl R. Peterson, M.D. describes physical edification also! Isn’t God amazing?

We have found on the Internet documentation from Dr. Peterson’s office, which is below. As a matter of reference, Dr. Peterson is highly respected, as a psychiatrist and as a Christian.

PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Peterson begins his attachment by specifically referring to praying in the spirit (speaking in tongues), then begins to just use the words prayer or praying. Throughout his paper he is referring to speaking in tongues, as that is the context of the whole paper, and is as introduced by his letter.

Dear friend,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the relationship of extended periods of praying in tongues and joyful laughter to brain activity. As you will read in the enclosed explanation, I shared some information concerning this with several ministers at a gathering some time ago. I pray this information will be helpful to you.

Respectfully,
Carl R. Peterson, M.D.”

——————————————————————————–

EFFECTS OF EXTENDED VERBAL PRAYER
I have had a number of inquiries concerning the efficacy of praying in the spirit (speaking in tongues) and its benefit to the human immune system, i.e., immunity enhanced by chemicals released from a part of the brain. I am attempting to clarify some information I have shared with a number of ministers. This is information that may be deduced from what we know about the way the brain functions. We do know the part of the brain affected most noticeably by extended prayer represents a significant portion of the brain and its metabolic activity. Therefore, voluntary speech during extended vocal prayer causes a major stimulation in these parts of the brain (mainly the hypothalamus).

The hypothalamus has direct regulation of four major systems of the body, mainly: a) the pituitary gland and all target endocrine glands;
b) the total immune system;
c) the entire autonomic system; and
d) the production of brain hormones called endorphins and enkephalons, which are chemicals the body produces and are 100-200 times more powerful than morphine.

In summary, a very significant percentage of the central nervous system is directly and indirectly activated in the process of extended verbal and musical prayer over a period of time. This results in a significant release of brain hormones which, in turn, increases the body’s general immunity. It is further enhanced through joyful laughter with increased respirations and oxygen intake to the brain, diaphragm and other muscles. This same phenomenon is seen in physical activity in general, i.e., running, etc.

We know from the Word of God that there is a true joy that builds and sustains. Nehemiah tells us the joy of the Lord is our strength. There is joy in the presence of Jehovah. We, as believers having entered into that wonderful presence of our Lord, know this to be true. What we must continue to remember is that the joy of the Lord spoken of in the Word is so much more than any manifestation. We can truly have that unspeakable joy in the face of any trials we may encounter, if our joy is grounded in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope the above information helps to clarify the report you received regarding my statement in the area of the physical effects of speaking in tongues and joyful laughter for extended periods of time. Truly, we all benefit — body, soul, and spirit — from obedience and yielding to the Spirit of God in every area of our lives.

Carl R. Peterson, M.D.”

Treasure Hunt: Double Treasure

This video chronicles the last treasure at our November 2012 conference. We learned many lessons on this hunt plus had the amazing opportunity to pray for a person twice in two different locations!

Future of Worship

Most of my church experiences have been superficial in that they were mostly acquainted with a "feeling" or an attempt to get something from God by my praise and worship, rather than the simple joy of being in His presence for fellowship and His pleasure. My experiences were also diminished because there was never a tangible place or symbol of His presence, just people and pulpits or stages that were the centerpiece of my attention during worship...We have gone from the priests being the only ones who understood the liturgy to black stages with colored strobe lights and smoke, from quiet non-participatory services to lively energetic services that are governed by the countdown clock. We have gone from the Lord's house to houses of worship, places of refuge to places people refuse to come to any longer. We still are divided on the activity of Holy Spirit in the body of Christ...and all of these divisions divert from the PURPOSE OF OUR CORPORATE GATHERINGS TO--WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH, FOR THE FATHER IS SEEKING SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM. Nathan Byrd

The Lord was quite clear when we started the Furnace that the emphasis was worship of Him for however long He wanted and 1 Cor. 14:23. Sometimes we go and He wrecks us with His presence, angels, signs, and wonders. And we are like little children playing in His love. Other times, we have a teaching or prophesy to one another or someone brings a song. But there is no clock. There is no human agenda. We simply hunger for Him. That is why He shows up in our hidden room in the back of a building. He found us who are desperate for Him and that is the people He is seeking. There is coming a future wave that will change the face of the church and how we worship and why we gather. It will challenge everything we believe and some will adjust to His ways and others simply won't know how to be willing to. The question every leader, worshiper, and believer must ask is are we willing to shift our entire way of "doing church" so we can have His manifest presence.

Soaking Prayer by Wendy Backlund

Soaking Prayer

I am passionate about encouraging people to add "soaking prayer" to their pursuit of God.

Soaking prayer adds a new dimension to our relationship with the Father. It is not about talking to Him, but about listening, and experiencing Him. Soaking prayer is based on a belief system that God is supernatural and wishes to relate to His children in supernatural ways. Soaking prayer is about receiving supernatural impartation, revelation and visions.

This is not a time for correction from the Holy Spirit. It is a time of intimacy. Come by the blood of the Lamb, knowing that He can talk to you later about issues needing to be taken care of. He desires a time to love on us and strengthen us with His Presence. Human relationships need this also, where we get together just to have fun and fellowship. Problems or issues are shelved for later, at the appropriate time. 

The goal is to get over our addiction to words and allow God to speak to us, "Spirit to spirit."

There should be no striving or begging for Him to come. By faith believe that as you sit in His presence, He is there. Receive - just like you do at the gas pump (filling up on an unseen substance that is valuable). Whether you "see or hear" something is not necessarily important, but by faith believe that you "soaked" up the substance of His Glory.

Our bodies are like the anointed handkerchief in Acts 19 that healed people. We soak-up His substance and it permeates our physical body.

I recommend worship as a gateway into His presence. As you worship, feel free to use your sanctified imagination to picture the throne room, heaven and the unseen realm. Allow yourself to "go with" any vision or thought that is from the unseen realm of God's Kingdom.

Hab. 2:1 "I will watch and 'see' what the Lord will 'say.'" Unconsciously we limit God from speaking to us because we are straining to hear words. Habakkuk understood that God wasn't limited to speaking with language.

I believe that sitting quietly is key for building a relationship with God. In the stillness of our soul, His presence speaks. While we are waiting for Him to speak to our mind, He is waiting for an opportunity to speak to our heart. 

Often I have to verbally take my thoughts captive unto Christ and actively receive the substance of His presence and peace to flow through my soul and spirit. Experiencing peace, not having Him tell me is what peace is. It is in this place of rest that my spirit receives revelation rather than information.

To grow into maturity, we must know God the Father more intimately. Our highest call is to not teach about God but to reveal Him.

Unless we experience and soak up His presence our relationship becomes cerebral rather than actual. We know about it, but we can't live in it.

Beholding the Presence by Bill Johnson

BEHOLDING THE PRESENCE

      by Bill Johnson

---

"I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. My heart also instructs me in night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. You will show me the path of life. In Your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

                                                                                                Psalm 16:7-8, 11

            "For David says concerning Him, 'I foresaw the Lord always before my face.'"
                                                                                                            Acts 2:25

David is saying, "I set the Lord before me." How did David do this? He set the Lord before him by recognizing His presence. We can do the same as we learn to adjust our hearts until we realize, "He's here." The ongoing realization of the presence of the Lord—the awareness of God being in us, upon us, and with us—is one of the most vital elements to the Christian life.

David became the great leader over Israel by leading them into prosperity, blessing and their greatest military victories. They finally received all the land that was promised to them, all those years from Joshua onward. David came and brought them into their inheritance. David was a great leader because he was the greatest of worshippers and the greatest of warriors. David wasn't even a Levite, but he was the ultimate priest. I believe he was so effective because of this principle. I have sought to pursue this principle every day in my own life. I set God before me by becoming aware of the presence of the Lord who is with me.

Our confidence levels skyrocket when the presence of the Lord becomes manifested to us. The clearer the manifestation of His presence, the greater the dimension of faith. To live by the theory of His presence is wrong. To say, "Well, I know He's always with me" is not good enough. That truth must launch us into an experience, or we're violating the truth. Truth is given as an invitation for divine encounter so that we would know by experience that God is upon us and God is with us.

David's entire life as a warrior and a priest was focused on this one thing: to daily take time before Him until we can see Him. Since we can't imagine a place where He isn't, we might as well imagine Him with us. The imagination is a tool that God uses to express Himself in and through us. The imagination is to be harnessed and yielded to the Lord so that in the process of yielding it becomes sanctified, and the sanctified imagination is positioned to perceive Him. The Bible goes so far as to say, "Having our senses trained to discern good and evil." Through this process of training our senses, we become able to recognize the presence of the Lord. David gives us this key, the absolute heartbeat of his life, as if he is telling us, "This is how I made it. Every day I beheld Him with me."

I feel that David's experience is a summons to the same privilege and responsibility to turn our awareness towards His presence, and in doing so, we invite the increase of that manifestation. As a result, when we behold the Lord, we have far greater success and far greater joy by ministering not out of principles but out of His presence.

Why Oils Heal and Drugs Do Not

WHY OILS HEAL AND DRUGS DON’T by David Stewart, Ph.D.
(The full and complete article reprinted with permission from Dr. Stewart)
If you tell a medical doctor that essential oils can bring about healing with no negative side 
effects, they won't believe you. This is because medical school students are repeatedly told 
by their professors that all effective medicines have negative side effects, and if they don't, 
then they can't be effective. 

When I was in medical school, one professor emphasized this point in a colorful, graphic 
manner with specially prepared slides. In each slide specific drugs were depicted as evil 
looking demons or goblins. As he presented each picture, he explained, "Although 
ugly and capable of doing harm, these 'demons' are also the bearers of some good. So long as 
the benefits outweigh the risks, we use them," he summarized. "We have no choice," he 
continued, "because if a drug has no dangers, then it can have no benefits. That's just the way 
it is. And that's why it is essential that only qualified physicians be allowed to prescribe 
medicines," he concluded. 


Actually, the professor was telling the truth. Within the restricted practice of allopathy (MDs) 
the only real medicines are physician prescribed pharmaceuticals. Such medicines always 
do have negative side effects. All of them. No exceptions. Hence, doctors are trained to accept 
the bad with the good as the price of effective medicine.


The Danger is in the Drug, Itself


The dangers of prescription drugs are intrinsic to the drugs, themselves. No matter how 
careful the physician in prescribing and how compliant the patient in following doctor's orders, 
even then deaths and damages occur. In fact, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease 
Control, more than 100,000 Americans die every year, not from illegal drugs, not from drug 
overdoses, not from over-the-counter drugs, and not from drug abuses, but from properly 
prescribed, properly taken prescriptions.


In this country, more people die from doctor's prescriptions every ten days than were killed in 
the 9/11 terrorist attacks.


Why is this so? Why do allopathic drugs always have undesirable effects (along with their 
apparent benefits) while one can find healing with natural products, such as essential oils, with 
no undesirable effects? Here is why.


Why Companies Deliberately Sell Dangerous Products


It is illegal to patent any natural product. The way to big profits in the medicine industry is to 
create an unnatural substance that never before existed in nature, then patent it and obtain a 
monopoly. Hence, the molecules of pharmaceutical drugs are all strange to the human body. 
In all the history of humankind, such molecules were never encountered or taken into any 
human body. Hence, the body does not easily metabolize them. God never made 
your body to accept and deal with these chemicals and antibiotics. Hence, you can find traces 
of prescription drugs in your body that were taken in childhood, decades ago. 


On the other hand, natural molecules, such as those found in essential oils, are easily 
metabolized by the body. In fact, your body was created to handle them. When an essential 
oil molecule finds the receptor sites it was designed to fit and conveys its
information to the cell or participates in other therapeutic functions, it then goes on its way to 
the liver and the kidneys and moves out of the body. Its benefits have been conveyed and its 
job is complete. By contrast, the unnatural molecules of man-made drugs attach themselves to various tissues, disrupting normal function, for years while the body tries to figure out what to do with them. 
Meanwhile, they wreak mischief with our bodily functions and even our minds.


Drugs versus Oils 


Drugs and oils work in opposite ways. Drugs toxify. Oils detoxify.


Drugs clog and confuse receptor sites. Oils clean receptor sites.


Drugs depress the immune system. Oils strengthen the immune system. Antibiotics attack 
bacteria indiscriminately, killing both the good and the bad. Oils attack only the harmful 
bacteria, allowing our body’s friendly flora to flourish.


Drugs are designed to send misinformation to cells or to block certain receptor sites in order to 
trick the body into giving up symptoms. But drugs never deal with the actual causes of 
disease. They aren't designed for that purpose. While they may give prompt relief for certain 
uncomfortable symptoms, because of their strange, unnatural design, they will always disrupt 
certain other bodily functions. Thus you always have some side effects. 


Oil molecules send information to cells and cleanse receptor sites so that they bring your body 
back to natural function. Oils are balancing to the body. Drugs are unbalancing to the body. 
Oils address the causes of disease at a cellular level by deleting misinformation and 
reprogramming correct information so that cells function properly and in harmony with one 
another. With drugs, misinformation is fed into the cells so that some temporary relief may be 
obtained, but there is never any true healing. Drugs only trade one kind of disease for 
another. 


Because essential oils properly applied always work toward the restoration of proper bodily 
function, they do not cause undesirable side effects. They are feeding the body with truth. 
Drugs feed the body with lies. While no amount of truth can contradict itself, it doesn't take 
many lies before contradictions occur and the body suffers ill effects.


Doctors Speak Out


Not all physicians are caught up in the idea that the only good medicines are ones that can 
also be harmful. Here are some comments by physicians themselves.
"The cause of most disease is in the poisonous drugs physicians superstitiously give in order to 
effect a cure." Charles E. Page, M.D.
"Medicines are of subordinate importance because of their very nature, they can only work 
symptomatically." Hans Kusche, M.D.
"The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the 
medicine." William Osler, M.D.
"If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and 
good for humanity" O.W. Holmes, M.D. (Professor of Medicine Harvard University)
"Every drug increases and complicates the patient’s condition." Robert Henderson, M.D.
"The greatest part of all chronic disease is created by the suppression of acute disease by drug 
poisoning." Henry Lindlahr, M.D."Every educated physician knows that most diseases are not appreciably helped by medicine." 
Richard C. Cabot, M.D. (Massachusetts General Hospital)
"Medicine is only palliative, for back of disease lies the cause, and this cause no drug can 
reach." Wier Mitchel, M.D.
"Medical practice has neither philosophy nor common sense to recommend it. In sickness the 
body is already loaded with impurities. By taking drug - medicines more impurities are 
added, thereby the case is further embarrassed and harder to cure." Elmer Lee, M.D., Past 
Vice President, Academy of Medicine.
"We are prone to thinking of drug abuse in terms of the male population and illicit drugs such 
as heroin, cocaine and marijuana. It may surprise you to learn that a greater problem exists 
with millions of women dependent on legal prescription drugs." Robert Mendelsohn, M.D 
(author of book, "Confessions of a Medical Heretic)
"Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature's protest and pull down the 
danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the 
system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may 
disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time." 
Daniel. H. Kress, M.D.
"The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines is a duty incumbent upon 
all who know their uncertainty and injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the 
drug system will be abandoned." Charles Armbruster, M. D.


Conclusion


So there you have it, why oils heal and drugs don't. Let's hope Dr. Armbruster is right, that 
"the time is not far distant when the drug system will be abandoned." Pharmaceutical 
companies and their physician drug dealers could market and sell natural products with 
genuine healing capabilities, but most won't. There isn't any money in it. 


In my opinion, changing the medical system toward more natural and spiritual forms of 
healing is impossible. The system can't change. It must be replaced. Those of you who have 
opted out of the system in favor of essential oils and their physical, mental, emotional and 
spiritual benefits are among the pioneers who are replacing the system. 


And for those of you who have taken prescriptions drugs over long periods of time, essential 
oils are your best friend because they can cleanse the residues of these drugs from your 
system once and for all and help restore your body back to its natural healthy state.

A testimony: What is in your house?

Sarah Bollinger attends our Friday night Furnace meetings and about 3 weeks ago, I imparted an anointing for making income because that has been something God has blessed me with--an ease to make income--typically through owning a business. I asked everyone, "What is in your hand or in your house?" like the widow was asked by the prophet. She had oil and that provided income for her and her family. Sarah took my encouragement to heart. And this is her story. It is not an endorsement of her investment. But it's an endorsement of what God did in her life.
