George Tiller Abortionst Murdered-Vengance Is Mine Saith The Lord I Shall Recompense Thee!

Saints I do not condone MURDER period. It is not our place saints, to take the life of another. Even that of George Tiller, who is responsible for the deaths of millions of little boys, and girls, and the wounding of the souls of millions of women.

A Godless man, who has no fear of God, nor cares what His Word says, has taken the life of another Godless man, who had no fear of God. No born again child of God could hate the murders that George committed, and then commit murder themselves, that would be contrary to the Word of God, and the commandments of God.

A man in his 50's (who is now in custody) walked into the lobby of George Tiller's church "Reformation Lutheran" about 10am this morning, where George was standing doing his duty of usher this particular Sunday, and shot him and killed him.

Some are concerned that George Tiller didn't have time to get saved. Listen George has had all the time in the world to be saved. We do not serve an impotent God, who is now wringing His hands in heaven, because some one has killed George before He had time to save his soul.

God knew the day of Georges birth and the day of George's death, as he knows yours and mine, and He knew the means and the hand by which he would die. God gave George ample opportunity to be saved and turn from his wicked ways, and George made his choice, and God knew what George's choice was. God allowed George's life to be taken at this day and time.

The martydom of George Tiller is already in progress, a candle light vidgil is being planned, by a local pro-death political activist, in down town Wichita for this evening.

People are saying what a "good" man he was, he was not a "good" man. He was "good" at what he did, and that was killing children, and damaging women. He actually killed some women, in the process of ripping their children from their mothers wombs.

It is now being reported that President Obama is outraged at Tillers murder, it's a pity that he were not more outraged at all those Tiller murdered during his lifetime.

If this man who killed George thought that he was doing the pro-life community a favor, he has not. I shall be blogging more on this subject.

This is just something that made me think this morning....

This scripture was imediately quickened to my mind:

Revelation 13:13

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Just something to think about!

Roman Catholic "Father" Cutie Converts to be an Episcopalian Priest so he can Marry his Lover!

http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/father-alberto-cutie-becomes-episcopalian-priest

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/sfl-father-alberto-episcopalian-bn052809,0,2043083.story

They sit in a building called "The house of God", and they have no shame neither can they blush, and their converts they make two fold the children of hell than themselves, and they think that God does not see, and God does not hear.

Oh my goodness, it just never ends does it saints...How God must laugh at our foolishness.

That man presumes that this is all fine with God.

God shall have this man and all these religious leaders in derision.

The Roman Catholic church won't have this man because he wants to marry his lover. The Episcopal church will have a fornicator, and let him preach, so the man converts.

How about being "born again" before we become a priest. How's about we abstain from fornication before we decided to preach to the flock?

No fornicator shall enter into the kingdom of heaven sir.

Aren't you kinda putting the cart before the horse here Mr priest sir?

Psalm 59:7-8

7. Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8. But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

God hears you, you wicked men, and He shall come with a vengeance upon you all, for you deceive and lead his sheep astray. He shall hold you accountable you shall perish in your sin.

We're Getting Closer By The Day Saints of The Most High God

http://www.jnewswire.com/article/2655

Jerusalem and all of Israel, is surrounded by her enemies without and within.

Luke 21:20-22

20. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Luke 21:25-28

25. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26. Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Watch and be Faithful saints!

I Marvel At The Working's Of The LORD!

Saints I have been working on a U-tube video on the trying of our brother Job, and posted part 1 yesterday. Then this morning I open David Wilkerson's daily devotional, the link to which is to your upper right on this blog, and low and behold he is speaking of the great sufferings of a dear sister, and referencing our brother Job. I recommend you all read it!

Why do we see these co-incidences in the body of Christ, that the Lord is dealing with us and with another saint on the same type of subject? Because there are no co-incidences within the body of Christ, it is all by the design of God, as He moves upon us, by His Spirit to confirm His word to us.

How marvelous, How wonderful is our God, His ways are truly beyond our comprehension. He is able to do all things, and do them well, Praise His Holy Name!!

Great and Faithful is our God, may He bless you today saint of God!!

A Testimony of Deliverance from Covetousness

This Is Truly The Generation That Has No Natural Affection

This little 3 year old boy, Tyrus "Ty" Toribio, was suffocated in his sleep by his mother, then revived by her with CPR, then re-suffocated when she again changed her mind, May 13Th 2009. She buried him in a playground where his tiny sneaker was seen protruding from the ground, and his lifeless body was discovered last Friday.

This precious child is yet another victim of a parent without natural affection. God made us with the capability to be willing to lay down our lives for our children. Now the parents slay their own flesh and blood and discard them like trash. It is horrifying.

The number of parents willingly slaughtering their offspring has been growing at an alarming rate for the past 15years or so.

This is yet another symptom of our society's turning from God and shows the rapid rate of our degeneration.

We have had countless men dispose of their wives and mothers of their children increasingly so over the past 15 years. Cowardly men, Godless men, selfish men. We are having children snatched by perverts and murderers at an alarming rate.

However, the most alarming thing has been the number of mothers willing to murder their babies. We have taught society that we can kill our babies in the womb if they are going to be an inconvenience for us. Now it seems that our consciences are so seared that we now can cast off our children if they become an inconvenience, and we think that we are not going to be judged for such wickedness.

Truly if the Lord does not shorten the days, there shall no flesh be saved.

Come quickly Lord Jesus!

Who Needs The Holy Ghost When We Have Bible Helps!

And this mega Pastor Ed Young Jnr. is proud of this, and we wonder why the church is in its current state.

I am not against commentaries for studies sake, but one vital ingredient is missing in all his explanations of how he studies-What happened to the "Seek God" part?

What happened to the "Holy Spirit's" leading and putting a Word on his heart?

I guess this man never thought of getting on his face before God and seeking a Word from Him from the very throne room of Heaven. Come to think of it, if he did that His congregation would shrink, and thus his income would shrink, and ah, no, that wouldn't be such a great idea now would it?!!!!

He speaks in yet another of his videos, of getting and idea for an easter sermon from a staff member, no mention of the Holy Spirit! This man seems to have an ego the size of mount Rushmore. Saints this is sad, this man is a wolf.

Please pardon my sarcasm, but my heart breaks for those sheep who are under this mans care.

Romans 3:11-12

11. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

BE NOT UNEQUALLY YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS

Although Coach Dave Daubenmire may be a very nice man, and have many good things to say, and do many good things, he is transgressing the Word of God by yoking together with a Mary Worshiping Idolatrous Pro-life Priest. This priest is cursed of God for his idolatry. I have met this priest and coach Dave, but I must say Father Weslin’s health has deteriorated a great deal as is obvious by viewing this video and I believe it is a curse of God for all those he has led into this idolatry. This man has been giving the Glory to Mary in relation to Pro-life events for years.

As Pro-Life Protestants it is not necessary to yoke with the unbelieving Church of Rome in order to do exploits for God. In so doing we risk receiving of her plagues.

God Knows You Saints Of The Most High God!

Saints, we are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Those of you who are in a hard place today, those of you who were birthed into a hard circumstance, or those of you who see the lives of others and wish your life were like theirs. Do you ever take the time to contemplate what you would be doing today for God, had He not birthed you into your current state?

Would you even be serving Him? Would you be dependant upon Him as you are now? Would you even be making time for Him in your life, if all was as you think it should be? God birthed you into your circumstance that He may be glorified in it!

Those who are shallow, and undiscerning and love the world and the things of the world, and live their lives in covetousness seeking signs from God, do not comprehend these things. They mock at those with infirmities and those who live in hard circumstances and tell them if they knew God they would be rich and have need of nothing. These kind do not know God as they should.

Listen saints before He formed you in your mothers womb, He knew you, and He numbered the very hairs of your head, and He knew the plans He had for you, to give you an expected end. He knew these things before the foundations of the earth, before you were even in existence saint of God. As David and Jeremiah, you were written in His book of life before you were created in your mothers womb!

Saints of God you didn’t choose Him, He chose you, and ordained you that you may go forth and bear fruit in His name!

He is the beginning and the end, therefore He and He alone knows the beginning from the end, and every place in between. He orders your very steps saint of God!

He knows when you rise up and when you lay down.

He knows your thoughts before you think them. He knows what you have need of saint of God before you even ask Him.

Though your trials may be many dear saint of God, He shall deliver you out of them all, as you submit yourself to Him and seek Him with all your heart, mind and soul.

The Lord delights in you child of God. He shall never forsake you!

He sought for you saint of God, He chose you, He drew you to Himself by His Holy Spirit, no man comes to God except He draws Him.

For those who are having a coronary about now-thinking me to be a Calvinist or a once saved, always saved believer, I am not. Yes we have a choice to refuse Him, and yes we still have a choice to turn from Him, and reject Him. Yes our candlestick can be removed from its place, if we turn from God.

Although our trials are not pleasant they are for our eternal and certain good saints.

Someone once asked Jesus why a little boy was blind, they wanted to know if it was because he or his parents had sinned, and Jesus said it was neither, but it was for the Glory of The Most High God. Many do not see God in infirmities, I do saints of God. Those with what we may consider and infirmity or those who live in hard circumstances, they have more Grace, because God gives more of His Grace to the humble, and He gives His of His strength to the weak. The glory of the Lord shines through the lives of those who are 100% dependant upon Him for their all. He is their sufficiency; they know they are nothing without Him. He has made Himself known to those in hard places.

It is easy to serve God when everything is going well, but let trials come and you will see who is truly depending on God for their very breath.

Although all hell assails us we can trust the Lord with our souls.

Psalm 1:6

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 37:18-19

18. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Psalm 37:23-24

23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

24. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him

Psalm 37:28

28. For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Psalm 37:39

39. But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

Psalm 44:20-21

20. If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

21. Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Psalm 94:9-11

9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10. He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

11. The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

Psalm 103:13-14

13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

14. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

Psalm 138:6

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Luke 12:6-9

6. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

7. But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

8. Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

9. But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

Matthew 6:7-8

7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Psalm 139:1-16

1. LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10. Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

There is no place in heaven or hell where a man can hide from God!

11.If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

14. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Why would this be so saints? Because saints this creation is God’s plan and He has laid it all out before we were even in existence. Who shall argue with God?

The book of LIFE saints….Davids name was in the book of life before he was even fashioned…the Lambs book of life, our names are written in the Lambs book of life from the foundation of the earth.

Some of you may not receive this but that’s alright because in the end we will know these things. Some may even separate from me because I say this, and that’s alright, because in the end we shall know as we are known.

Revelation 17:8

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Jeremiah 1:4-5

4. Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Jeremiah 20:7-17- even knowing God Jeremiah was distraught, and wishing he had never been born-because he was a man like us saints. We all have those times and come to those places.

God knew us all before He formed us saints of God. And he set forth a plan for us…it is up to us whether we accept and obey that plan.

He knew the circumstances into which He was going to birth us. He knew the hardships we would face, He knew how the devil would seek to destroy us…but He had a plan!

Not only is this next promise for Israel, but for all God’s children

Jeremiah 29:11-13

11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

12. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

13. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

John 15: 14-16

14. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Rest in these things saints of God!

Satan Has Desired to Have Us Saints of God that He may Sift Us as Wheat!

Luke 22:31-32
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: ³²But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Saints let me assure you of this, when you press in to God, and you increase your witness of Him, the harder you battles will become. I speak from experience!

It seems that the more the Lord uses us to speak against evil, the madder Satan and his devils become. Truly saints our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places.

Since I started this blog a few years ago, and especially since I have started up a u-tube channel, the enemy has launched a series of vicious and merciless attack at me through certain family members. Through God's Grace, I am able to consider the true source of these attacks-Satan.

I thank God that He has given me the Grace to see these attacks are being motivated by Satan, and not the flesh that I see with my eyes. This is something that has taken many years for me to understand. Call we backward and I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box if you know what I mean. I tell you saints if we do not come to understand these things then we will be a prime target for satan.

Saints we can have peace in the midst of the attacks, when we learn to consider their true source. When we understand that it is Satan that is trying to steal your peace, our joy and our faith.

Psalm 34:19

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

At first glance a person might think that afflictions are sickness, but not so. Afflictions can mean, something or someone who gives us continued pain, one who causes us distress or grief.

Afflictions not only affect our bodies but also our minds. They can do the most damage to our minds if we do not seek the Lords help. Many situations and people can cause us distress if we allow them to. We have to learn in these times to submit ourselves to God and seek His help, and ask for the Holy Spirit to give us a covering. In these times we must polish up our armour also. Above all we must seek God, before we react in your flesh to a situation, or a person saints. We must take a breath and allow the Holy Spirit time to give us council.

The Lord knows what we have need of saints, and it is His good pleasure to be our all in all, our deliverer, our help in time of trouble, if we just trust in Him, and yeild ourselves to Him.

So don't let satan discourage you saint of God, and remember you are not alone in your afflictions, because all who live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecutions of the devil.

Remember saints of God, even when you don't have the strength to pray for yourself, Jesus Christ your High Priest prays for you!

How Wicked the World is, But How Wonderful And Great Our God Is!

Saints my soul is heavy this morning as I reflect on those who are lost around me, and those who are in bondage, and not looking to God for their help. My heart cries out to God for Mercy for my loved ones.

Then I just opened David Wilkerson's daily devotional e-mail, Oh what encouragement!

I recommend you click on the link to your upper right side of this blog and read today's Word.

Saints we are in trying times, and Satan is working his hardest to discourage and defeat us, but in Christ Jesus our Lord we shall not be defeated, but we shall rise victorious. We shall overcome all those things that currently strive to overwhelm us. Many principalities and powers work daily, to destroy our faith, and confidence in God. We are all in a battle of one sort or another, and we will be until our Lord comes. My tests and trials and battles may not be the same as yours, but we all fight the good fight of our faith.

If someones life seems perfect, or their life seems easier than yours, it is not, because all the true children of God are harassed by the enemy of our souls. So don't feel alone in your trials saints of God, and don't resent your trials because they are for our perfecting.

It will be given one of these days for Satan to wear out the saints of the most High God, but our Hope is in Jesus Christ, who promises to be with us, even unto the end of the earth.

God Bless You All!

Seed Sower

Can a True Priest of God Marry?

The Roman Catholic Church has yet another scandal on its hands with this young priest who is nick named "father Oprah" -I ask you what kind of nick name is that..It has been given him because of the so called "good advice" he dishes out to his flock...via TV in florida. His real name is Alberto Cutie'. I know it just gets worse!

Oh what a mixture is created when deception is prevelant in the hearts of unsaved, and unholy men.

This priest was photographed on a beach with a woman who is his lover evidently, and now is faced with, well who knows what!

Oh my how this man is deceived, as are all those bound by the doctrines of Rome.

New u-tube video relating some what to this blog is titled-A Lamentation for the Church of Rome here is a link to cut and paste:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57vTksWuZTY sorry but for some reason I cant get the direct click on link to work today.

God does not forbid those who desire to serve Him to marry. Saints we are the priests of God.

1 Corinthians 7:1-2 & 7-9

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

²Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

There are some who can live without their flesh being tormented by the need for a mate.

Others can not restrain themselves, and that is why the Lord says it is then, in that case, better for them to take a spouse rather than burn.

⁷For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

Christ was able to submit himself to God and resist the devil-there in overcoming any temptations of the flesh.....He had and eternal mission and he wanted no distractions.

⁸I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

⁹But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Christ was tempted in all points as we are now tempted saints, therefore He understands our needs and our desires. If your desire is for a wife or for a husband, God knows this....

You can still serve the Lord with a wife or a husband, its just that wives and husbands can be a distaction...but it is no sin to marry or to desire a spouse...in fact several of the first disciples of Christ were married men.

It is a terrible thing when men place burdens of false doctrine upon others.

I Pray You Be Edifyed!

Saints please feel free to make comments, and give all the constructive criticism you can, I have a very thick skin so you won't offend me. I pray that this will be yet another meduim through which to share the Truth, and encourage the saints. Seed Sower!

Understanding 1 Corinthians 14-Part 4-Video of Blind Leaders of the Blind

If you are a born again spirit filled believer and this video doesn't make you want to vomit-then there is something severely wrong with your walk with the Lord, and your understanding of God's Holy Word. If you type into u-tube John Crowder and Benjamin Dunn, you can see more abomination filled videos, that will make you to understand why God's judgment is upon us.

God's Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, was not given to us that we may walk about in a "spirit" induced stupor, as these men teach. This video and these men have "another spirit" and they are heaping judgments on themselves by portraying the Holy Spirit as a vehicle through which to satisfy your former lust for drugs, by instead using the Holy Spirit to fulfill your fleshly lusts and desires. This is Abomination before an All Holy God!

Men such as these in this video are making a living off the backs of the young sheep and they are laughing at they prey all the way to the bank. Thus they are heaping curses to themselves, and God will add plagues to them except they repent

1 Corinthians 14-continued from Part 3

15. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

16. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

Again it is reiterated that if we are to pray yes -we may pray in the spirit-in tongues, but we are also to pray in our own language from our own hearts, for our own needs and the needs of others, and to knowingly give Glory and Praise to God. Some even sing in tongues, but we are also to sing in our known language. In other words how would some one who comes in knowing nothing about tongues, or God, understand God or anything about him.

17.For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

18. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

19. Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

20. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

21. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

Here it says - yes tongues is a good thing-it is always a good thing to give thanks to God-but in the tongues others cannot be edified-and again when we come together publicly its about edifying the whole body, not just ourselves.

Paul says-look saints I speak/pray in tongues more than all of you-BUT-when we come together I would rather prophesy in a known language that all may be edified and learn of God.

Here it is like Paul is saying-Hello think about it people use your reasoning power as grown ups- tongues were to be a sign to the unbelievers because it was prophesied that it would happen, and when the Jews heard the tongues they were supposed to acknowledge-Ah! this is what was prophesied of old- as it is written, this is the sign that these are my people and I am in them, but yet still the Jews would not hear and acknowledge the saints or that this was of God.

22. Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

23. If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

24. But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

25. And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

Again Tongues were to be a sign for the unbeliever, that they might acknowledge that God was again moving amongst His people. Prophesying on the other hand was for the edification of the body.

Those who don't have a full understanding of tongues, and their proper function with in the believers life, or the body as a group, if they come in amongst us and we all at one time are speaking in tongues, they will then think we are all mad.

It would be the same if all prophesied in their known language at once-it would be Chaos- therefore order is commanded.

However if all prophesied in an understood language, at least there would be some understanding of what was said, and the people would be brought under conviction of the Holy Spirit as He dealt with their hearts and they then would worship God and say that indeed God was in us.

26. How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

27. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

28. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

29. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

30. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

³¹For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

³²And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

³³For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Here in is given the order for when we come together as a body, when it comes to Tongues, Prophecy, sharing doctrine, Praise and Worship, Testimony....All are to be done to edify the body-If tongues are to be spoken it is to be in God's order and with and interpreter-or we are to be silent! We are not to all jump up at once, we are to prefer one another, wait on one another.

Prophesies are to be judged by other prophets. God is not the author of confusion but of Peace!

34. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

35. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Here the women were out of order, they were obviously throwing questions out to be answered during the teaching time. They were told to keep slient within the teaching time and save their questions for their husbands at home. It is still a shame for any one to interupt a service or teaching time unless there is a period set aside for questioning what is being taught. The word says that "your sons and your daughters shall prophesy" which takes using our voice within the corporate body, and so God is not forbidding women to speak, but that things be done in order. God does not contradict Himself.

36. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

37. If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

38. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

39. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

40. Let all things be done decently and in order.

If we are going to profess to be filled with "The Holy Spirit" then we will line ourselves up with the Word of God, not go our own way. We should all covet to prophesy but not forbid tongues amongst us-but all things are to be done decently and in their order as stated!

Understanding 1 Corinthians 14-Part 3-Video shows offering of Strange Fire to God!

1 Corinthians 14

1. Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

If a saint has the fruit of Charity whether they be young or old, they do not make a vain public display of themselves, they do not seek their own praise, nor do they seek their own followers. One who is full of charity is a humble soul, not a vain and brazen soul. For more on Charity read 1 Corinthians 13.

The youth are to be an example of Holiness to us old fogies.

1 Timothy 4:12-13

¹²Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

¹³Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy. The Holy Spirit speaks of the things of Christ, the Holy Spirit draws men to Christ.

Back to -1 Corinthians 14

2. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Tongues is, are, spoken to God, the natural man does not have knowledge of what is spoken, or prayed (that would include the person speaking them).

3. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

We are to come together to edify one another even the more so as we see The Day of The Lord approaching, drawing ever nearer. Prophesying is of benefit to the whole body. We are not to come together to pleasure ourselves, but to be of benefit to the whole body.

⁴He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

Speaking in tongues edifies the person speaking in tongues not the person hearing the tongues. With the exception of tongues being a language recognized by one in attendance, as on the day of Pentecost.

^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.

All things within the body are to be done for the benefit of the whole body. It is better to prophesy within the body of believers and non believers, unless there is an interpreter (to interpret the message in tongues) so that people can understand when they hear a prophecy in their own language, that is edifying.

6. 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 sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

⁸For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

⁹So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

¹⁰There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

¹¹Therefore 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.

Again tongues are not spiritually profitable for others if they can’t understand what is being said.

12. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

We are to all desire to be profitable unto others, understood by others, that we may all grow thereby and be edified.

^13. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

¹⁴For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

If we have the “gift of tongues” we are to pray for the gift of interpretations of tongues in order to to edify the body, and be in God's divine order.

(There is a difference in the “gift of tongues”, which is where believers give messages to the body, and in the individual “praying in tongues”, which is given to all who receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and is to be used individually in our own prayer time before God. This can occur within a group of saints who are intent in travailing in prayer-then none knows what is being prayed-the spirit makes intercession-but this is done in private not in the midst of a congregation.)
