The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as shown in 1Corinthians 14:6; the renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

WE are now ready for the rest of chapter 14 of 1Corinthians for another eye opener, especially after the revelation of our circumcision of the hearts, spiritual eyes and ears, that our soul is now restored to the Christ life within each individual. In what is called the image and likeness of GOD. What else lays in store? For the Lord Jesus said, that when she would come she would do the works of restoration of the things lost to humanity in the fall, or the blindness of heart that had taken hold of man, in the lie of mans religion, for it was he that said to, "beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."
Oh, for the love training and discipline of a mother! Who acts like a mother hen.


1Corinthians 14:6-12 "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? 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? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So 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(G2071 G2980) into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 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. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church." (KJV)

1Corinthians 14:6-12 "Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be speaking(G2071 G2980) into the air. There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning, but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church." (ESV)

1Corinthians 14:6-12 "Imagine how confusing it would be if I visited you and all that I would do is impress you with my spirituality's, by speaking of the revelation knowledge for the benefit of the whole church. So please do not speak in tongues in the church unless you can also interpret what you have just said. Any musical instrument like a flute or guitar would irritate the audience if all it did was repeating indistinct sounds without any melody. Play music that everyone will appreciate! (The Greek word for harp (G2788) is kithara.) If the bugle gives an uncertain sound, the soldiers will miss the moment to prepare themselves to advance in battle! (Do you realize the importance of what I am saying? Do not misinterpret strategic instructions for personal edification.) Make every word count in order to bring maximum benefit to your audience; [1,(G2071 G2980)]weigh your words then you will not be wasting your breath! (The words [1,G2071 G2980]eusemos logos translates as a well marked word.) In nature every voice vibrates with meaning; even animal and bird sounds are distinct and significant. There is no point in having a conversation with someone if you do not understand one another's language. Let me make it very clear, while speaking in tongues has its personal benefits, do not make it the thing everyone wants to do! Then you miss the whole point of spiritual gifts! What is the value if a million peole can speak in tongues but they are completely incapable of bringing a word of inspired instruction? Tongues are most certainly not a mark of spirituality! The greater blessing is not in getting the blessing but in being the blessing to others!" (The Mirror)

I hope that we are learning the important things for life. Next time more on tongues and if the LORD is willing more revelation of him. Until than may you and yours learn the use of tongues in your study time and prayer time.
