I don't know about anyone else, but I have been used several times (over my
14 years in the faith) by the Lord in giving messages in tongues and in the
interpretation of tongues. (sometimes doing both message and it's
interpretation)

Sometimes I have been impressed of the Lord to give a partial quotation of
scripture during the message, which has always been in King James 1611
English. This is due to the fact the "Spirit is subject to the prophet" and
that this particular vessel ONLY reads that particular edition of the Bible
on a regular basis.  The balance of the message is in every day American
English (which is what I speak also on a regular basis).  

I agree with Sis. Jennifer that God is unchanging. But He uses vessels that
are available, and both wholly and Holy committed to Him.  He will use the
gifts of the Spirit to edify the body and it will go along with the
preaching of the Word and/or the Pastor of the congregation will give
confirmation to the message's "divine-ness" by the pastor's incorporation of
the message into the continuance of his sermon (if he was not finished) or
into the altar call.

In HIS Service,
Sis. Wendy Horn
