Are you earnestly seeking the Gift of Tongues but it hasn't happened for you yet? I share a bit on taking our thoughts captive, claiming the gift prophetically and mention the most common 'road block' against receiving tongues... as well as pray in tongues and impart activation of the gift in you.
Scriptures mentioned:
Jhn 20:19-22
"So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, 'Peace be with you.'
And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
So Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.'
And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.'"
Acts 1:4-5
"Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, 'Which,' He said, 'you heard of from Me'
for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.'"
Acts 1:14
"These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer..."
----------------------------------------------------
F.Y.I.:
Resurrection (Jesus breathed on them)
to Ascension= 40 days
Ascension (the last
thing He spoke before
leaving: "..but you will
receive power when
the Holy Spirit has
come upon you..")
to Pentecost,
(When they spoke
in tongues)= 10 days later

Occult involvement is a barrier to tongues and a barrier to healing.... simple renouncing prayer by derek prince:
"Lord I confess that I --ex.: went to a fortune teller *add what you were involved with/did HERE-- I should not have done it. I realize that it is a sin. I ask you to forgive me, and release me from it's consequences. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
