If others are standing nearby, have them pray quietly in tongues, not in their own language. If
people are praying in their own native language, that person receiving the Holy Spirit can hear
what they are saying, and it will distract him. In other words, he might get his mind on the
others and what
they're saying. And many times people will not yield to God if they are listening to what people
around them are saying.
You will find that by following these seven steps, you will help believers receive the Holy Spirit
immediately without tarrying. As you assist believers in receiving the Holy Spirit, you will feel
personally blessed and rewarded for your part in their receiving this wonderful gift of the Holy
Ghost.
Chapter 11 The Gift of the Word of Knowledge Part1
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus
accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
by the same Spirit;
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to
another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he
will.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being
many, are one body: so also is Christ.
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether
we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
For the body is not one member, but many.
— 1 Corinthians 12:1-14
