"And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Acts 2:4 (NKJ)
Now wouldn't that be awesome? One moment, you can only speak English, and the next you can speak in a dozen other languages fluently. Spanish, French, Mandarin, Russian, Japanese, Arabic . . . the skill would certainly open up a lot of job opportunities--and opportunities to spread the gospel.
As far as I've heard, radical episodes like this are rare these days--but the Holy Spirit definitely still gives utterance to people. Even utterances that are completely foreign to us. The Holy Spirit can make a stuttering person speak with perfect eloquence and He can empower someone who doesn't have a way with words to make perfect sense.
The Lord has told us not to be afraid concerning what to say because He'll give us the words we need. This verse is a good example of how He does that, isn't it? :)
