HOW PRAYING IN TONGUES CAN BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

It has been reported by medical science recently that praying can affect a sick person’s outcome for the better. One study showed that even when the sick person did not know people were praying for him/her, their health improved. As believers, we know personally what prayer has done for us in our times of sickness (Js. 5:15-16). But did you know that “praying in tongues” can actually make you healthier?
Speaking in Tongues Can Boost Your Immune System
A few years ago, a brain surgeon at Oral Roberts University did a study of what happens in the brain when people pray in tongues. He found that they secreted two chemicals that can boost the immune system by 35-40%! Think about the effects this can have on opportunistic diseases such as cancer. God created the immune system to be our defense against harmful invaders: bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and even malignant. It is when the immune system is weakened that such pathogens can attack and overwhelm our bodies. We all know that keeping our immune system strong is vital to warding off diseases, and why it is so important for us to eat a healthy diet and to avoid foods that are heavily processed. Proper exercise and sleep are also necessary to keep our immune system strong, because God has designed our bodies to recuperate and repair themselves during sleep.
God also knows how He designed us in His image as a three-part being, made up of spirit, soul, and body (1Thes.5:23), and He knows that the health of our spirits and souls is directly correlated to the health of our bodies. This is why John said that he desired for us to be in health even as our souls prosper (3John2). We already know that when a person speaks in tongues, he edifies himself; that is, he builds himself up, strengthens himself in his inner man (1Cor.14:4). Now we know that we can also fortify our immune system by speaking in tongues. The ORU doctor observed that speaking in tongues activates a part of the brain that appears to have no other function. It is only activated when one is in prayer, praise, and worship.
Another Study of the Brain While Speaking in Tongues
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Healthcare System discovered that when one is speaking in tongues, there is decreased activity in the frontal lobes of the brain, which is the area associated with being in control of oneself. They measured regional cerebral blood flow by special imaging machines, while the subjects were speaking in tongues, It showed that they were not in control of the brain’s usual language centers during this activity. This was consistent with the participants’ claims of a lack of intentional control while speaking in tongues. It reflected a complex pattern of changes in brain activity.

NAMBA: A VILLAGE WHERE MANNA STILL FALLS.

Namba is a small and drought-stricken village in Southern part of Angola, a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who spent nearly a lifetime in Africa established a mission in this village. This white missionary left and for some years the mission was under the care of a local director. One year the rains failed to come, the crops did not grow, and the mission stores were emptied and no money to buy food if it could have been found. The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply. The director's wife called the families together and told them the situation. Then she read to the people the promises of the Lord and told them of the manna which had been sent by God to His people in the time of Moses, assuring them that God could send them food in the same way, if necessary. After prayer, a little girl, about five years of...

The nature of mindsets, part 1.The deeper reason to examine our mindsets is so we can mount a self-aware response to the great challenges of our day. We simply can’t respond to our personal and global problems in a meaningful way unless we also learn how to examine our mindsets as an integral part of how we live our lives

The nature of mindsets by Ash Buchanan A primer on how our underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions create our everyday lives — and our shared world Mindsets shape the lives we lead, the actions we take and the future possibilities of the world we live in. In this primer, we provide an overview of what mindsets are, why they matter and explore a range of practices you can use to be mindful about how and why you use them. What is a Mindset? “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” — Mahatma Gandhi Eight principles can be used to describe the underlying nature of mindsets. 1) Mindsets are habits of mind The word mindset was first used in the 1930’s to mean “habits of mind formed by previous experience.” In simple terms, mindsets are deeply held beliefs, attitudes and assumptions we create about who we are and h...
