Tongues and Interpretations in 1 Cor. 14

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Tonges are not really that big of a deal, They really are the least of
the gifts . It is normal for a spirit filled saint to sense when the
spirit is about to move. Two or three does not mean two or three people .
It means that after you have given the same message three times and no
interpitation then sit down and shut up. You need to pray that God will
give you the interpitation. There is to be no confusion in the house of
God.Any gift of the Sprit should be a normal everyday experience
if we are walking in the light as he is in the light. This should be our
life style. The gifts are for whosoever will. A gift of the spirit
doesn't make you any more holy. It is to edify the church.
