GenesisI: 1, 2
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
1 In the beginning [1 In the beginning awas the Word, and the bWord was cwith God, and the Word was dGod. 2 eHe was in the beginning with God.
3 fAll things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.]. (Jn 1:1–3). God
Hebrews XI: 3[3 By faith we understand that bthe 3worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. ]
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness 1was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
We see in the beginning of the Holy Spirit hovering over the waters. He is the one that manifested the earth. God is the progenitor and the Son is by his side. Look at I Co. XII: 3, 7
1 Corinthians 12:7 (NKJV)
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus 3accursed, and dno one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.4 eThere are 4diversities of gifts, but fthe same Spirit. 5 gThere are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God hwho works 5all in

So we really need to look was it the Holy Spirit life communing with Adams spirit at the beginning? So the fall involved 3 things:
1) A captivity to the devil by right of conquest (Luke XI: 21)
2) A withdrawal of the Holy Spirit. Jude 19 “These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.”
3) An entire corruption of man’s nature, now called flesh, or the flesh, or carnal. Genesis VI: 3 “And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.””
John III: 6 “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
To sum this up we will look at who is speaking when we pray in tongues
- Is it us or the Holy Spirit.
Seventy Reasons for Speaking in Tongues: Your Own Built in Spiritual Dynamo The Holy Spirit and the Human Spirit
Our spirit language is motivated, covered, and directed by the Holy Spirit, yet it is my spirit or your spirit that is actually doing the praying.
Acts II: 4 “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Apostle Paul says I Co. XIV: 14 “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.”
Seventy Reasons for Speaking in Tongues: Your Own Built in Spiritual Dynamo The Holy Spirit and the Human Spirit
So why does Paul say that it is his spirit praying in tongues? The Bible says in First Corinthians 6:17 that he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Our born-again, baptized spirit becomes united with the Holy Spirit, who has the mind of Christ and His Spirit enables us to pray from the mind of Christ and not from our natural minds.
Seventy Reasons for Speaking in Tongues: Your Own Built in Spiritual Dynamo (The Holy Spirit and the Human Spirit)
So lets read what Paul says about tongues in - First Corinthians 14:14–15, “My spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I [me, my redeemed spirit] will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding …” The Holy Spirit does not replace our spirit and do the speaking, but He gifts our spirit to direct our speaking in the language of the spirit.

HOLY SPIRIT 2
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
1 In the beginning [1 In the beginning awas the Word, and the bWord was cwith God, and the Word was dGod. 2 eHe was in the beginning with God.
3 fAll things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.]. (Jn 1:1–3)
THESE ARE OUR FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURES CONCERNING THE HOLY SPIRIT. Now remember i said that one of the reasons we have been given tongues is to stop us from sinning against God, murmuring, praying that which we no nothing about. We can see this in the discourse of Mt XV: 1, 20.
Lets look at Mt XV: 9, 20 “These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”” 10 iWhen He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 jNot what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 But He answered and said, k“Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. lThey are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15 mThen Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 So Jesus said, n“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that owhatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But pthose things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 qFor out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
i Mark 7:14

And to finally sum it up heres the discourse with followers of Jesus...
The New King James Version (Chapter 6) - 39, 45
39 And He spoke a parable to them: c“Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? 40 dA disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. 41 eAnd why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? 42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.43 f“For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 For gevery tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45 hA good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil 9treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out iof the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
So your mouth speaks what’s in your heart. What language are you filling you heart with...(I) As the seat of the desires, feelings, affections, passions, impulses, i.e., the heart or mind.

Now I just wanted to say that and go into The Gift of the Holy Spirit prophesied by the prophets and fulfilled by Jesus.
The New King James Version (Chapter 28) - 9, 12
9“Whom dwill he teach knowledge?And whom will he make to understand the message?Those just weaned from milk?Those just drawn from the breasts?10eFor precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,Line upon line, line upon line,Here a little, there a little.”11For with fstammering lips and another tongueHe will speak to this people,12To whom He said, “This is the grest with whichYou may cause the weary to rest,”And, “This is the refreshing”;Yet they would not hear.
This scripture is fulfilled in 1 Co. XIV: 21, 22 - Joel II: 28, 29 - Acts II: 16, 18 - 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17‘And kit shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
lThat I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and myour daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
“And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.”
Secondly, Ezekiel XXXVI: 27
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
Fulfilled John XIV: 17
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
Thirdly, Matthew III: 11
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Accomplished, Acts XI: 16
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
Fourthly
John VII: 37, 39
37 rOn the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, s“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 tHe who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, uout of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 vBut this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those 7believing in Him would receive; for the 8Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet wglorified.
John XIV: 16, 17 - 26
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Acts XIX: 1, 6
The New King James Version Chapter 19
19 And it happened, while aApollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through bthe upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, c“We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, d“Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, e“John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized fin the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had glaid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and hthey spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
What shall prevent us from speaking in tongues and prophesying? Nothing at all
