To clear up my fumbling about my words last night; it really has to do with when I once asked anyone to share, what I’m actually after is something to encourage the team, since we all struggle with EXPRESSING our worship and are on a growth curve, learning how to corporately express our adoration (using song and music);
“He who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God:” à “But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men” (1 Corinthians 14)
1. edification
2. exhortation
3. and comfort
“what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching.”
What profits our team when I ask someone to share is;
1. revelation
2. knowledge
3. prophesying
4. or teaching
As we said tongues is for building up oneself, prophesy is for building up the church, specifically regarding worship; “…(THEY) …worship God and report that God is truly among you” (which comes by hearing prophesy).
Just to reiterate; openly (publicly) amongst us we share things the build-up/ strengthen/ encourage. Any problems or issues must be taken up directly with me.
Let us all continue to strive to intercede (praying the best change for someone based on a vision of what Christ intends for that person) for one another, that the body may be built up to lead God’s holy people in the precious praise He seeks of those who are called by His name. As we are changed we triumph over all issues supporting one another in peace and love.
Be blessed fellow saints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
