whats the greatest thing you've heard from someone who interpreted tongues in your ch

[Cookie-Monsta]

even if the dead were to be raised in front of their eyes, they will still doubt.

If on a hot day you ask your Father in heaven for wind and a gentle breeze blows a few seconds later, wld you thank God for it or shrug it off as coincidence? The one with childlike faith who knows his Father's heart will say its God. The skeptic who walks in the mind will attribute it to coincidence.

Yes!! go andrew! I agree!!

iktca,

How does interpretation work? After asking God for the interpretation, does it then come as a thought to your mind? or an impression in the heart? which you then put into words?

I'm a little confused by what Smith Wigglesworth once said. He said that interpretation is like speaking in tongues. You wont have a clue as to what the interpretation is until you start speaking out by faith, and then the interpretation unfolds as you speak. SO I'm a little stumped by that.

I tried that before. I spoke in tongues, asked God for the interpretation and then -- without the faintest idea as to what it meant -- just began to speak forth in English the interpretation. I managed to say something 'sensible' but is that right?

For me. . .if there is a tongue first. . .I do not know until the words come pouring out in English what is going to be said. When I first started stepping out in this gift all I did was the tongue and I depended on there being an interpreter.

Then, when I would feel the prompting of the HS for a tongue and I did not know if there was an interpreter, I saw the need for me to also pray for the interpretation. That way the message whould not have to be squelched due to me not knowing.

Now I can do both. But mainly, instead of the tongue, I usually just give the word in English. . .unless the Spirit moves differently.

The most specific word that I personally have received was just the word in English, not the tongue first.

I had just gone through an extremely stressful situation with a job I'd had for 8 years and had been fired due to a fellow employee who did not like me, becoming my boss. It was a Christian ministry but this man had made up several accusations about me and it was a very hurtful thing. He had made some "rule" changes that technically, were not legal and in the long run would cause very big problems. I had confronted him on these things.

Several co-workers had told me I was being foolish to put my job on the line and should have just been quiet over the discrepencies. Since what I did envolved ministry expenses it was my job to address these issues, however, as my personality tends to do, I had mulled over things, over and over again, and soon found myself, thinking I could have done this differently or said that differently, etc., etc.. "Maybe it really was my fault". Basically, beating myself up.

Anyway, I went to a woman's conferance that my church was part of. It was something I had decided to do at the last minute. . . and I went there directly from work. I was able to find a seat with other woman from my church.

It was during the worship service and we were all standing and worshipping God. Then it got quiet and another woman at the pulpit began to give a word. This woman could not see me from where she was and I could not see her. We had never met and as far as I know had never even been in the same room together before.

I can't remember what was said, word for word but it was something to the effect of "You thought you were going to be working there for ever, but it was not in My plan for you to do that". I had loved my job. . .I did want to work there forever. Then, right at the end she said, "Furthermore Barbara, (that's my name, and I was NOT wearing a name tag), while others called you foolish and told you to be quiet, I call you faithful, because you said what I told you to."

How much more specific could God get ey?

hmmm, never heard this before.. what church are you afflitated with by the way?

 

[enoch son]

Someone spoke in a tongue and another interpreted it and another stood up and said that that way his natural tongue and that the interpreter (unknown tongue to the interpreter) was word for word. (christ for the nations early 70's)

Never heard of what D0c? Tongues and interpretation of tongues or just a word given in the language of the hearer's is pretty common in every Charasmatic or Penticostal church. I currently attend a non-denominational.

That's OK To paraphrase the scripture in 1 Cor 14, it says, "let he who speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret also"

right on, i forgot about that little tidbit.
