ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
I was thinking in the shower . . . I know . . . all wet anyway . . .
turns out to be a more meditative place for me. LOL.
One of the things that hasn’t been discussed and won’t likely be very rationally nor fair-mindedly by the naysayers . . .
I think one of the most IMPORTANT functions of tongues is to connect our spirit more directly to God’s Spirit
without all the mental noise from our intellectual sphere.
I think Scripture alludes to that without spelling it out explicitly.
I just know that MANY times in my 65 years,
when I’ve been MOST BOUND UP IN MY MENTAL UNDERWEAR . . .
God has used praying in tongues as a way to break through all the mental noise and double binds with a greater initmacy with Him; a greater clarity from Him; a greater sense of direction, balance etc.
Similarly, I wasn’t often very stuck when counseling individuals, couples or families—by God’s mercy—He trained me well. However, the few times I was . . . praying quietly under my breath in tongues persistently facilitated an insight or line of query from Holy Spirit that brought immediate breakthrough for the clients.
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS.
That's our God! At times we have no idea what we need and, of course, what to pray for but the Spirit does. He knows the end from the beginning. And your clients we blessed, also.
"Then God said to him: "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,
behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you."
