10 LEARN FROM PAUL.<br />
WE CAN learn from Paul in the issue of<br />
speaking in tongues.<br />
His heart was that people, first of all,<br />
receive the Holy Spirit.<br />
Because that is part of the puzzle of the<br />
gospel of Jesus Christ.<br />
Jesus came so that we wouldn’t be left in<br />
an orphaned state.<br />
He said that He would go so that the<br />
comforter, the Holy Spirit could come.<br />
So that we wouldn’t be left orphans.<br />
[John 14:15-18]<br />
15 “If you love Me, keep My<br />
commandments.<br />
16 And I will pray the Father, and He<br />
will give you another Helper, that He<br />
may abide with you forever—<br />
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world<br />
cannot receive, because it neither sees<br />
Him nor knows Him; but you know<br />
Him, for He dwells with you and will be<br />
in you.<br />
18 I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU<br />
