Hi Julie. I had a lot of tongues training like yours almost 50 years ago. But one instance was different than others. I awoke one morning with the thought of women being silent in the church. I understood that as being a cultural norm when that was written, but the Spirit was prompting me to study it out. When I located the verse (1Cor. 14:34), I saw the chapter was about tongues. Prophecy is Christ speaking to us, and so is tongues if it is interpreted, or given to someone in their native language but not ours. But it says we shouldn't do it corporately without it being interpreted. As I pondered that, the Spirit asked me, "Who is the Bride? Who is the Husband?" This chapter speaks about order in the church. Church is a time for us, the Bride of Christ, to listen to Jesus, our Husband. Our prayer language (tongues) is for us (our spirit) to speak to Him. We miss what He has to say if we don't be silent enough for Him to speak. 1Cor. 14 makes a lot more sense to me now.
John, that makes a crazy amount of sense. And we are all His bride. Wow. Church is listening time for all of us. Thank you for reading and for coming by to comment. I appreciate it very very much. 👍🏼
