Paul wrote to the church at Corinth for the purpose of speaking about the expectation of being in harmonious relationships and unity in the house of God, and then instructed them with how that is accomplished in light of using the gifts to bring Edification, Unity & Peace.
The Church should be:
Speaking in tongues ✓
Interpreting in certain situations ✓
Prophesying ✓
Desiring spiritual gifts ✓
Not forbidding speaking in tongues ✓
All things done decently and in order ✓
We must trust God to let Him say what is “decent” and “in order” and not our tradition.
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order. I Corinthians 14:37-40 NKJV
Hebrews 10:25, Mark 7:3, Galatians 3:27-29, 1 Corinthians 11:5, 1 Corinthians 14
Holy Spirit is IN YOU for NEW LIFE, and He comes UPON YOU for POWER & GIFTS for ministering to people. Tongues is a gift we receive when we are baptized in Holy Spirit, allowing us the ability to speak to God, and in the spirit speak mysteries. The Church must not forbid it.
It’s going to be essential for all believers, the Church, to operate in the Power of Holy Spirit in the days to come. The wisdom needed in the end days comes from the Bible, and it’s available. We must be on the cutting edge of prophecy. What is God saying in this hour?
1 Corinthians 14, Jude 20, Ephesians 6:18, Isaiah 28:11–12
Charla Lewis – The Roads Kidz Pastor – shares a dream she had with an interpretation and unpacks the deceit that the enemy uses against us to create a hold and imprisonment of our minds that is stealing our time, relationships and our continual development in our relationship with God.
Entertainment and all its devices have been a deceitful cover up, a smoke and mirrors that we partner with to keep us from realizing the unseen and heavenly realm and partnering our faith with what God is doing. The “American Dream” has become the “American nightmare.”
Galatians 5 : 13 Beloved ones, God has called us to live a life of freedom. But don’t view this wonderful freedom as an excuse to set up a base of operations in the natural realm. Constantly love each other and be committed to serve one another.

What does the Bible have to say about TONGUES & PROPHECY?
Chad Everett breaks it down verse by verse, in a teaching on 1 Corinthians 14.
He who SPEAKS IN A TONGUE, speaks 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗢𝗗.
He who PROPHESIES, speaks 𝗧𝗢 𝗠𝗘𝗡.
Tongues is Vertical. Prophecy is Horizontal.
Speaking in a tongue under the inspiration of Holy Spirit is in an unknown language that’s not understable to the hearer, but requires interpretation for the hearer to be understood.
Tongues does not require interpretation to be inspired by God.
Tongues requires interpretation to be understood.
Everyday we as believers needs to speak in tongues to be edified and built up.
Speaking in tongues is for all believers.
Biblical prophesying is speaking three things – edification, exhortation & comfort, under the inspiration of Holy Spirit in a known language understandable to the hearers.
Pursue Love & Desire, Go After, Be Excited & Passionate and Set Your Heart on Spiritual Gifts.
1 Corinthians 14
In the midst of walking out the promises of the Lord, there will be opposition. Sometimes we dance through the Red Sea, but sometimes there are giants you have to kill. God has already equipped you with the power of Holy Spirit for the battle you’re going into. We don’t have to be afraid, because we know who holds the future. We are safe and secure in the strength and the might of our God.
His very nature is FAITHFULNESS. He’s firmly adhering to His duty. He is constant in performance.
He is trustworthy. He is True. He is the Truth. If God has spoken a promise to you – He’s good for it! We might miss it, but God never does. He is walking alongside of you.
“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1 : 9 ESV
