Can God give us a new language? Well the answer to that is a big yes. I became a born again Christian in 1981 through Y.W.A.M. (Youth With A Mission) England. In March 1983 God sent me to a Y.W.A.M. base in the middle of a forest near a city called Contagem in Brazil.
One month later on my birthday 17 April I was sent on an outreach with some 20 students and an interpreter. One day the group leader asked me through my interpreter Tony if I could preach at a house that afternoon and at a church at night I said okay and went to my room praying to see what the Lord wanted me to preach. At the appointed time to go to the house I discovered that my interpreter had gone back to base. I asked the Lord what to do, he said that it was He that would do the talking and not me. So I went in obedience and to my surprise when I opened my mouth out came perfect Portuguese, the same happened at night and since that day I have spoken and written perfect Portuguese without taking one single lesson. God showed me and the people who were witnesses of this miracle that He give us the means to get his will done.

Hope this can be of some encouragement to someone.

Jer 32:17  Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

That should make some of the things God has done for us, not feel so wierd.  :)

God knows what He is doing and it is all for His Purpose and Plan to make us into the Image of His Son.

Thank you for sharing.

Hi RRHinds,

Well to me this is amazing, I have no reason to doubt what you are saying. Just as the Apostles were given the gift of tongues at the beginning of this era of God choosing out His Elect I wonder if He is giving this gift again near the end of this era, close to the return of Christ. At least that is my hope, that His return is near. It makes sense to me that He would work with increased gifts of the spirit along with the increase in knowledge that is very evident.

Also I can see this as an encouragement to the Elect, although it is a miracle to me everyday that I am shown more truth, it is a real blessing to know He is working so powerfully through His people at this time. May God bless you and strengthen you in the work you are doing.

mercy, peace and love

Hello RR:

And welcome to the forum.  I do not doubt that God can and will do miracles even today.  However I believe that you realize that like the rest of us you were abiding in false Babylonian Christianity in your early days and he is bringing you out of this as he is us.  The question I would have is why would God bless you with this 'gift' to preach and speak a perfect foreign language if you were preaching the error that you had been taught from denominational Christianity?  And also we know from the teachings here that nobody has been 'born again' (past tense) unless and until they come up in the first resurrection.  I don't directly question you or your testimony but neither do I believe something that I read on an internet forum either unless the spirit witnesses of it to me.  I hope you understand what I'm saying.

God bless you!!
