Episode Synopsis
Awakened to Deliver – The Gift of Interpretation of TonguesWeek 32, Day 5: Desiring and Activating the Interpretation GiftKey Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:1 (NASB 2020)“Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.”⸻Episode Highlights• Love is the foundation for every spiritual gift, including interpretation.• Desire for the gift should flow from wanting to edify the Church, not from self-promotion.• Prayer is the starting point—ask God for the ability to interpret.• Faith means trusting the Spirit to supply the words when you step out in obedience.• Surrender positions you to be a yielded vessel for God’s voice.• Private prayer in tongues with a request for understanding can train your ear for public interpretation.• Humility keeps the focus on God’s message, not the messenger.• The gift must always be tested by Scripture, confirmed by leadership, and measured by its fruit.• God is looking for obedience and purity of heart, not perfection.⸻Scriptures to Reflect On• 1 Corinthians 14:1 – Pursue love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts.• 1 Corinthians 14:13 – Pray for the ability to interpret.• James 4:2 – You have not because you ask not.• Hebrews 11:6 – Without faith it is impossible to please God.• Genesis 41:16 – Joseph gives God the glory for interpretation.• Acts 2:4 – The gifts flow from the fullness of the Spirit.• Philippians 2:3 – Operate in humility, considering others above yourself.• Proverbs 3:5–6 – Trust in the Lord, and He will direct your path.⸻Takeaway ThoughtThe gift of interpretation is not about spotlight—it’s about service. God wants to use yielded, Spirit-filled believers to make His voice clear so His people can respond. When love is your motive, faith is your posture, and surrender is your lifestyle, you are positioned for the Holy Spirit to speak through you with clarity, power, and truth.⸻Stay ConnectedFind all ministry links, bonus teachings, and updates in the Linktree in the show notes.Follow and engage: @AwakenedBibleMinistrieshttps://linktr.ee/AwakenedBibleMinistries⸻Support the MissionPartner with Awakened to Deliver to reach more people with the Gospel.
