1 Corinthians 12:7
OUR WEEKLY MEMORY VERSE - 1 CORINTHIANS 12:7
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12:11
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
1 Corinthians 12:18-20
18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
Why do we sometimes hear people speaking in tongues in the corporate setting during P&W without an interpretation?
Why do we sometimes hear people speaking in tongues in the corporate setting during P&W without an interpretation?
Two different things:
The person speaking in tongues is doing it more privately (not lifting their voice so the whole congregation can hear) in prayer and praise to God.
1 Corinthians 14:28
28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
The person that God wanted to use to give the interpretation is not being obedient to give the interpretation.
1 Corinthians 14:32
32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.

But, by itself it does not edify the corporate body.
1 Corinthians 14:6
6 Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
1 Corinthians 14:9
9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
1 Corinthians 14:16
16 If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
1 Corinthians 14:19
19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

1 Corinthians 14:27-28
27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
Note: There must be someone present that is baptized in the Holy Spirit so that the gift of interpretation can be given. So, either the one giving the message in tongues will interpret, or another person who is baptized in the Holy Spirit can give the interpretation.
1 Corinthians 14:13
13 For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says.

1 Corinthians 14:3-5
3 But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
1 Corinthians 14:13
13 For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says.
1 Corinthians 14:26
26 What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.

All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God. 29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.

I want you to envision living a life full of the Holy Spirit! A life where you experience the joy of knowing that God is always working for you. A life that when you are not sure of something because of whatever conflict, that you can go to prayer in the Holy Spirit and be encouraged and built up. That you give yourselves to God and the Holy Spirit to be used to edify the corporate body using the gifts God operates in and through you.
