I have never experienced speaking in tongues, and if others consider me only half-fulfilled or partially saved because of that, I am willing to accept that judgment. Over time, I’ve come to realize that all these spiritual milestones and extraordinary experiences—these moments of divine encounter—can serve as blessings or burdens, depending entirely on how I choose to view them. If I focus solely on intellectual acceptance through faith, I risk becoming fixated on the perfect law that promises liberty, forgetting that grace itself is a gift beyond mere understanding. Sometimes, I get caught up in trying to analyze and grasp everything logically, forgetting that God's grace is supernatural and unmerited. Yes, I believe that God speaks directly—imparting power, love, growth, and understanding supernaturally. In these moments, we catch glimpses of Christ’s glory, rejoicing with a joy that cannot be fully expressed, filled with divine radiance and longing for that grace to be fully revealed in the last day. We find ourselves caught up in the eternal, transcending the limitations of this earthly realm, fixated on heavenly things—anticipating that divine, supernatural infusion of power that continually renews our inner being. Peace—deep, unshakable peace—becomes our inheritance, our portion, even amid chaos and uncertainty. I hold the conviction that the Word of God and the Spirit are inseparably intertwined—working together in harmony—so that through prayer and communion, we are filled with all that we desire: an extra measure of divine grace, an unction that empowers us beyond our natural capacity. The Spirit within us longs and yearns, and as we fellowship with Him—shifting our focus from simply tracking the fleeting passage of time to dwelling in the immediacy of His presence—we awaken to a reality far richer than mere theory or doctrine. It’s an actual, tangible experience of God's awe-inspiring presence—moment-by-moment communion with the Holy Spirit through meditation on His Word and listening in stillness. Yet, I truly believe we are called to pursue that additional measure—more of the Spirit’s grace, more of that elusive, extraordinary influx of divine power. We cannot simply react passively to those who speak in tongues and then go on with our routine Christian walk. No, my conviction is that I must seek more—more fervently, more intentionally—so that the power I receive, that extra measure of the Spirit, becomes a living testimony to others. Perhaps my earnest seeking and prayer can serve as a witness, an example of the divine abundance that is available to all who are willing to pursue it beyond the ordinary. When I focus only on outward action or on doing, I weaken myself; I become more judgmental and more critical of my own shortcomings each day. If I believe that everything I need has already been provided—if my only task is to receive and appropriate what has been freely given—then I risk reducing divine grace to mere performance, to something I must earn or work to obtain. Instead, I recognize that true spiritual fullness involves a continual seeking after God’s supernatural infusion—an ongoing pursuit of more of His Spirit, more power, more grace—knowing that it is through His divine gift that I am truly made complete.
