Interpretation of tongues

ByTheSpirit said:

Does anyone here have any experience with the gift of interpretation? Have you ever moved in the gift? I would like to ask you a question, please PM me so I can explain.

Not personally. However, my grandfather has interpreted tongues many times in our church.

Posting to get 15 posts so that I can PM OP.

I have spoken in tounges and then given a word of knowledge, though I suppose it could have been the Lord giving me the interpretation? It happened so fast but I guess it could have been interpreting.

I don’t operate with the gift of tongue interpretation, but I did experience it one time when I was singing ferverently in tongues one evening several weeks after 911. I was rather surprised because what I was interpreting was my spirit praising God for his judgments on America and that 911 was part of God’s righteous indignation. I apologize if someone here knew a victim or were related to one, but it wasn’t them individually that God had it in for. They just happened to be there when it happened. Otherwise, I believe I have a measure of gifting in the realm of interpreting visions and dreams.

God created Satan to execute His judgments. Don't you think the devil rejoices when he does?

Isaiah 54:16

They rejected the truth, so the disciples say to Jesus, shall we call fire down from heaven and kill them like Elijah? Jesus rebuked them and said you know not what manner of spirit you are, the Son of Man did not come to destroy mens lives, but to save them. So why then do you think Jesus is now judging and killing people?

What manner of spirit are you to rejoice? We are living in Grace period and not under the law. What about the woman that gets raped, is that Gods judgment upon her? Or a murder victim….Gods judgment? How about the hurricanes, so many think and say it was Gods judgement…a act of God. God delighteth not at the death of of a sinner, so says the scripture. Bad things happen in this world…Cain killed Abel, doesn't mean it was a act of God, or Gods judgment. Some like to see a terrible thing and think that if they say "its Gods judgement" they are in the "loop with God".

I think you're confusing the issue. It seems your concept of God is contrary to what the scriptures say from cover to cover. I would suggest reading the Bible with the attitude of not holding onto preconceived ideas and let the scriptures in their entirety tell you about God. Read IISamuel24 and keep in mind that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Yes, we are living under a covenant of Grace, but that doesn't exempt us from God's judgments.

Malachi 3:6- "For I am the LORD, I change not;..."

When someone truly speaks in tongues, everyone around them will interpret it in their own dialect, there is no confusion and no babel to the ears.

Acts 2:6 - Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

Interesting! But 1Cor 14:1 (NIV) tends to quickly derail your line of thought:

I do know people that when they spoke in tongues, one my former pastor for some reason received a new tongue and was worshipping and afterwards a woman asked him what part of France he was born in, lol, he was born in Jamacia. He had been speaking perfect French and the woman couldn't believe it, he had been praising God in her native tongue. Thats what happened on the day of pentecost. So it possible that can happen, but most of the time when tongues are spoken no one from that language is around to hear or know what is being said, and sometimes the tongues received are those of angels, so no one is going to know what is being said.

No confusion on my part. I didn't rejoice and praise God on 911.

Neither did I. I was deeply saddened. Still am. I would advise reading IISam. 24.

Where do you think I pick a fight with God? Or that I'm better than God? What manner of spirit are you? How did your mind even come up to the point it was "obvious" that you thought I was better than He…..? I don't agree with you so I must be against God……that seems clear enough. But I'm so unlearned.

It appears that you don't believe God executes judgment on the land and on the people. Obviously I have no control over what my Spirit speaks through tongues, nor the interpretation I received. You misinterpreted my testimony and took it out of context.

Here's where theology can have a bit to say with this as the Scriptures do not even suggest that a message can be given in this manner. Even though populist belief is that tongues + interpretation = prophecy, this is simply a myth as Paul tells us that when we pray in the Spirit that these communications are always directed toward God and never to man.

I have heard a message in tongues a few times . A couple times when another person stood up to interpret , I already had the same message before they spoke .. I think many times some one has the interpretation but does not do it .. The Spirit is subject to the prophet in most cases ..

If that happened, it is a repetition of what happened before at the Pentecost. That is the book of Acts for you.

but most of the time when tongues are spoken no one from that language is around to hear or know what is being said, and sometimes the tongues received are those of angels, so no one is going to know what is being said.

It is a presumption to assume that an unknown tongue is that of an angel!
