This might answer a frequently asked question especially from the new receivers whether speaking in tongues is by themselves or from the Holy Spirit.
The short answer is both. It is part Holy Spirit and partnership with the person receiving it.
Long answer - Praying in tongues is very similar to playing prophetic worship. While the music comes from the Holy Spirit, the musician has to activate his/her own fingers to play the 1st note either on the keyboard or guitar, in order to produce a sound. The Lord will than add on more melody and notes while he/she plays. Similarly, for speaking in tongues, the person receiving the tongue has to move his/her own tongue and just say something. The Lord will eventually add more syllables to it.
Both scenarios requires the partnership of Man with Holy Spirit. If the man doesn't do anything, nothing shall be produced!
God bless you!
