If you are not given the gift to understand the words it is now as it was at Pentecost to those who did not understand just so much noise. <BR/>If you are not given the gift of speaking are you considered less precious to your Heavenly Father?<BR/><BR/>So if your gift is not for me, it is for you. And it is for you to share with God, the words of praise form your heart, spoken in love by the power to the Spirit, in Praise of and to your Heavenly Father. And made even more enjoyable because your heart sang with joy.One Sidedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082142283281027095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16515444.post-1160764762626644612006-10-13T13:39:00.000-05:002006-10-13T13:39:00.000-05:00Well, I told you about 1 Corinthians 14:15 so you ...Well, I told you about 1 Corinthians 14:15 so you know this is really of God whatever others may say. I'm so extremely happy for you. REALLY! I know that for me the biggest problem was that I was afraid that it was just me and not God until finally I sort of accidentally started speaking in tongues while praising God and so I knew it couldn't be just me. As for singing in the Spirit, I am the only person I know who does that. It's really no different, but it seems different. God bless you!!!Mountainbuildershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595215405525221163noreply@blogger.com
