When I 16 (I just turned 20 today) I went to a church service with my family. It was a nondenominational church that I grew up going to. But At that time in my life I was very depressed and out of control. I rejected God because I was so angry.

A couple of women started praying for me after the service and were speaking in tongues. One of the women told me that I’m a Listener. I was kind of freaked out at the time. I wasn’t aware of the spiritual realm and I didn’t even want help at that time. I walked away just thinking that they were crazy.

Now its been 4 years since that happened and I have a relationship with the Lord. I’m growing everyday and finding my new identity in Christ. It’s been just over a year since I gave my life to Christ. Over the past few weeks though, I’ve had something awake in me.

I think about what that woman told me, about how I’m a listener. What does that mean though?

I know there are gifts that God gives us through the Holy Spirit, but being a listener is not specifically named as one of the gifts. (Correct me if I’m wrong) I know I am gifted with the spirit of discernment. I also have been praying to pray in tongues for a few weeks now. I’m not sure what’s holding me back. When I get into prayer I feel like it’s on the tip of my tongue but It still hasn’t happened.
