When you're born again and filled with the Holy Ghost, the power of God comes to reside in you. This power is triggered off or set in motion when you speak in other tongues. "He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;.... (1 Corinthians 14:4). The Greek word translated "edifieth" is "oikodomeo," which means to construct or build up, to embolden or charge up like you would charge a battery. This Scripture is therefore telling us that the one who speaks in an unknown tongue builds himself up like an edifice; he emboldens himself and charges himself like a battery. He that speaks in an unknown tongue builds up himself. When you spend time to speak in other tongues, you're actually building up your spirit man. "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Shost" (Tude 1:20). When you speak in tongues, you're charging yourself in the spirit and stirring up the power of God resident within you. Then strength comes and the glory of God is revealed in your life. If you were weak in your Christian life, as you speak in other tongues, the power of God that has laid dormant within you would be stirred up and you'll be strengthened to do the things of God again. Speaking in other tongues, coupled with the confessions of the Word of God, will make you a spiritual giant. As you speak in tongues, you're building yourself up; you're recharging yourself like a battery on a charger. When you speak in other tongues, you're not just mouthing some religious gibberish but declaring mysteries in the spirit. You're speaking words that will change your whole world!
