Awakened to Deliver – Different Kinds of TonguesWeek 31, Day 4: The Public Use of Tongues – Interpretation and OrderKey Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:27–28 (NASB 2020)“If anyone speaks in a tongue, it must be by two or at the most three, and each one in turn, and one is to interpret; but if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in church and have him speak to himself and to God.”⸻Episode Highlights• Public tongues must be exercised with order, clarity, and interpretation.• Paul never prohibits tongues—he sets guidelines to protect unity and reverence.• Tongues without interpretation can cause confusion and disorder in the Church.• Interpretation is not a natural translation, but a Spirit-enabled explanation.• Public tongues should be limited, submitted, and followed by interpretation to edify the body.• Proper stewardship of this gift brings awe, conviction, and confirmation of God’s presence.• Maturity in the gifts includes knowing when to speak—and when to remain silent.• Revival requires both the fire of the Spirit and the boundaries of order.⸻Scriptures to Reflect On• 1 Corinthians 14:27–28 – Instructions for tongues and interpretation.• 1 Corinthians 14:40 – “But all things must be done properly and in an orderly way.”• 1 Corinthians 14:18 – Paul says he speaks in tongues more than all.• Psalm 133 – God commands blessing where there is unity.• 1 Corinthians 14:24–25 – Prophetic order brings conviction and awareness of God’s presence.• Luke 11:13 – God gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask.• 1 John 4:1 – “Test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”⸻Takeaway ThoughtThe public use of tongues is not chaotic—it’s holy. God designed this gift to reveal His presence and edify His people when stewarded with wisdom, maturity, and order. When we follow the biblical pattern—speaking in turn, allowing for interpretation, and yielding to the Spirit—tongues become a sign that causes people to say, “Surely God is among you.” Don’t reject the gift—reclaim it, and use it rightly.⸻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.

If not, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to what Scripture says—not just tradition or fear. If He gives a tongue, wait for the interpreter. And if you’re a leader, don’t suppress the gift—shepherd it. Let’s build churches where the gifts of the Spirit flow in power and in order. Tomorrow, we’ll close this series by discussing how to desire and receive the gift of tongues for yourself.
