SUMMARY:1 Corinthians 14:4
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. (KJV) \nIs your desire to edify the body? \nHere is a great truth for you: speaking in tongues doesn’t make you more spiritual! There are those who would try to make you feel less than effective or less powerful if you don’t speak in tongues. As if that is the only evidence of being filled with the Spirit. \n1 Corinthians 14:18-19 I give thanks to God that I speak in tongues more than all of you\, 19 but in the church setting I would rather speak five words that can be understood than ten thousand exotic words in a tongue. That way I could have a role in teaching others. (TPT) \nThere are too many who speak in tongues just to “appear” spiritual. When you are in corporate worship\, you want everyone to be blessed. If there is an interpretation with tongues\, then the tongues become prophesy. A word of prophecy will edify everyone\, even if the speaker was addressing a particular person. \n1 Corinthians 14:26-28 Beloved friends\, what does all this imply? When you conduct your meetings\, you should always let everything be done to build up the church family. Whether you share a song of praise\, a teaching\, a divine revelation\, or a tongue and interpretation\, let each one contribute what strengthens others. 27 If someone speaks in a tongue\, it should be two or three\, one after another\, with someone interpreting. 28 If there’s no one with the interpretation\, then he should remain silent in the meeting\, content to speak to himself and to God. (TPT) \nIn your personal time of prayer\, praying in tongues can release your burden; give you a sense of being closer to the Lord; give you the words to say when you want to pour your heart out to the Lord and stop your brain from trying to fix your problem. \nThere are also times when a person is praying corporately\, and the fervency and passion of the prayer gives liberty to the Holy Spirit. We understand the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us with groans that are not expressed in intelligible words (Romans 8:26). It is my belief\, when that happens\, what the person says after “speaking in tongues” is an interpretation of what the Holy Spirit prayed. However\, this is something that you need to ask the Lord for yourself. \nIt may seem mystical\, it does not have to be. You can pray\, study the Bible\, and read articles\, then pray again. It is your responsibility to know what the Bible says. You can begin your reading in Acts 2:4-6\, 1 Corinthians 13:1 and also the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 14. While you are reading and studying\, you should also be praying. Ask the Father to give you revelation\, clarity\, and understanding. \nJames 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance]\, he is to ask of [our benevolent] God\, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame\, and it will be given to him. (AMP) \nYour heavenly Father desires to reveal all things to you. When you have prayed\, studied the Bible\, and read articles\, you will have the clarity to abide by what the Bible says. The Holy Spirit will help you adjust your thinking and your behavior as you line up with what God requires. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nHeavenly Father\, today’s lessons reminded me of the scripture where Paul thanked You because he spoke with tongues more than all the Corinthians. He thought the more important thing was for him to speak five words with his understanding\, that by his voice he might teach others. I repent for desiring my edification without thinking about Your body. Father\, help me walk in the place Paul walked and Jesus walked. Help me be the person who is more concerned about edifying\, building up and blessing the entire body than proving to someone I speak in tongues or that I am spiritual. I don’t want to be the person who appears to be divinely elevated\, when I am only blessing myself. I want You to use me to bless others. I thank You for revelation\, and I also thank You for giving me understanding. There were many times when I was in charge and I didn’t understand what was going on. Everyone was speaking in tongues and I thought there was something wrong with me. Now I have Your word. It lets me know the proper way because You are a God of order. It also gives place for Your sovereignty in all things while still holding to Your order. I bless You today…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
