I have 2 testimonies to share. Both told to me by women. One lady shared with me years ago that the Lord had answered some of her prayers, and she was just full of thanks and praise to Him for what He had done. It seemed mere words could not express her thanks to Him. And all of the sudden she began to 'speak in other tongues' and then she was able to give beautiful expression to the Lord for His Goodness to her. Another woman shared with me that when she was 15 years old she was at some church from her childhood, and at some point folks started to go to the alter. She was compelled to go to that alter. I believe she told me she knelt down and she was Baptized in the Holy Ghost and began speaking in tongues, no one prayed for her or touched her. She was just hungry to know Him. This latter woman has been used of God to help pray many through serious crisis in their lives. By praying in tongues. When I was a teenager, I was very hungry for more of the Lord, and a woman was led by God to ask me if I were ready for another experience. And she prayed for me and I began to speak in tongues. Being able to pray in that language was absolutely crucial to being able to overcome trouble I was faced with for many years. Situations changed right before my eyes. God upheld me. And to this day I gain insight or direction for my life while praying in the Spirit.
And I have prayed for some to receive this experience and they received it. If you hunger and thirst, come and get filled.
Jesus desires for 'you" to have this experience. It will deepen your walk with Him. Jesus told his disciples - But ye shall receive 'power' , after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you. So the significance of this Baptism in the Holy Ghost enables a person to pack more of a punch in their prayer time.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groanings that cannot be uttered 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

Romans 8
Acts 2
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
>>39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. <<
And Jesus wanted them to have this experience. To be endued with Power from on high. And the Bible says Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. So consider this next step in your walk with the Lord. Jesus wants you to know Him in the deepest possible way. Enter in to His Fullness. God Bless
