In this short sermon, the speaker argues that Jesus never prayed in tongues because He was perfect and fully aligned with God’s will, eliminating any need for the spiritual gift of tongues. The speaker explains that speaking in tongues is a human aid that compensates for our inability to know what to pray or to pray according to God’s will. Since Jesus always knew exactly what to pray and embodied God’s will, He had no need for such a supplement. The speaker concludes that when believers reach spiritual maturity or perfection, they can similarly claim that they do not need to pray in tongues, using Jesus’ example as a justification.
