Proof of God

:bighug: No, thank YOU for the stimulating topic.

Right. And the bible says not to mix two types of fabric or textiles or whatever as a symbol of not mixing things spiritual things or Godly things with those that are not.

Well I had a long reply typed and LOST IT. UGH. This is that I believe that teaching meant: Tongues are prayer or thanksgiving and so the interpretation will be too. Prophecy is not necessarily related to the tongues. When the Holy Spirit's present is manifested so are people's gifts. SO the person with tongues is speaking and at the same time a person with a prophetic gift may be getting an unrelated prophecy. And because they often happen at the same time, the church has lumped them together and have confused the operation of them into being related because often when a person is giving a tongue another has a prophecy to give. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't think we HAVE to start out interpretations with "FATHER" as that site suggested because their teaching may not be correct in every situation. I have had a HEAVY burden on tongues come on me and at the same time had a prophecy for the church form in my spirit. That teaching assumes that a prophecy cannot be associated with a tongue and I don't agree with that. Start out the interpretation with whatever is in your spirit and don't do anything in the flesh. Forcing ourselves to do something in the flesh (like consciously saying, Father) while trying to do something in the spirit is a bad idea. Sort of like mixing cotton and polyester. Love, Mia

:haha:

and then someone prophesies the message from God. ???

Huh?

I just tried doing a different tongue and couldn't.

Amen. I am praying too.

I think some people do feel that way, espeically those that don't feel a major physical manifestation with the baptism. Personally, I felt rather awkward and did wonder if I was making it up but not that I have recognized God's voice and move in the supernatural I don't doubt.

I think that this person is trying to say to consciously use His name first so that the person "interpreting" doesn't speak their interpretation to the congregation. Not as a rule but as a conscious thought to keep them from error. Which I dont' agree with because when I start out a prophesy or an interpretation or whatever I do it with whatever God gives me.

This doesn't sound insane to me but I would have to study the verses that he has provided with the Greek for myself. When I hear something that is out of the ordinary or revelation I don't just spew it out but I don't just swallow it either.

Wait..........I didn't catch the part that Una is talking about at all....Would you paste an excerpt from the article here please so that we can read it?

Leora, Chew up the meat and spit out the bone. When I have had tongues come on me powerfully, I have at the same time had the spirit speaking a strong message within me. At those times, another person has gone up with their tongue and spoken in tongues and then I gave the word that I heard in my spirit. It sounds to me like a case of six in one, half dozen in the other. Personally, I don't think we should establish hard lines to follow. Flow in the Spirit, period. Just follow what God is saying when He is saying it and it won't matter what your mind thinks you should do because often times your mind will be at odds :duhh: with what the Spirit is saying to do anyway. Love, Mia

You will all be happy to know that I added MORE new smileys. :funtease: :yes: :eek: :bighug: :slapfight: :duhh: :coolyoh:

Amen! That is so cool! He is amazing. Isn't it amazing how God takes an interest in everything in our lives? And not the religious things.

GLORY GLORY GLORY TO GOD! I love HIM! What an awesome testimony! Thanks, Erica! Love, :cute:

Yep. We humans can be such a mess.

Lol....Erica meet Laura.....or should I say Una Meet Daphanie.

Amen, Desiree. God DELIGHTS - DELIGHTS - DELIGHTS in the prosperity of His servants. When we seek His face His hand is always open but when we seek His hand He is insulted. I KNOW WITH ALL MY HEART that you seek His face and His word. Therefore, it blesses Him to bless you! Glory! Love, Mia

GLORY TO GOD WHO IS THE EVERYTHING FAITHFUL! I will keep Jeff's dream in prayer and the people it is refering to. Love, Mia

LOL. Awesome and great conversation starter! Love, Mia

Desiree, For the most part, God speaks to us in symbolic message dreams. When God is speaking to us the message has a beginning and an end. AND MOST OF THE TIME = it will be answering something in your heart right at that moment and be fairly clear. Thoughts are notoriously unreliable messengers in dreams. I don't trust them very far. Knowing something is different than a thought or a feeling. Emotions are however excellent and reliable messengers. Love, Mia

Steve, do you really wonder if prophetic dreams are for today? What is the debate on signs and wonders? Yes. Spiritual warfare is for today for we war not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and rulers ........... Love, Mia

yeah. I read your's AFTER i posted mine.

Great message, Desiree. Love, mia
