I had a so-called friend a few years ago and he was trying to teach me about tongues but he didn't have the gift of tongues and I've been praying in tongues for over 20 years at that time now it's been almost 25 years I've been praying in tongues almost from the very first year I got born again, got baptized with the Holy Spirit in my room while waiting on God, I heard my mother praying in tongues but I didn't know what it was but I said whatever that is Lord I want it and I got it really good
