Seek to understand the meaning of the voice.
1 Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 1 Corinthians […]

1 Corinthians 14:6-9 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? 7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the […]

Seek the greater thing
But Rather 1 Corinthians 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

Seek Prophesy
The best gift 1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

The Focus on Self
The edification of self The modern-day use of tongues is a focus on self; it is the edification of self. The tongues speakers will often say that “tongues” is a “special heavenly prayer language.” This phrase subtly identifies a tongues speaker as being “special” in a “heavenly” sort of way.

Tongues vs. Prophesy, (Madness or Order)
The Corinthian Church had a problem with speaking in tongues. Their speech was revealing what they were following.[1] They were following after things that promoted themselves. They were twisting God’s Word to make it seem like they were “spiritual.” They all had their own interpretation of the Scriptures and they were imitating “spiritual gifts.” Chapter […]

Center of the bible
Psalm 118:8…… 8 It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. It has been said that the Lord is in the center of the bible. This is not the case for every bible. There are perversions to God’s pure word.[1] In the King James Authorized Version, the words: “the […]
