Daily Prayer for February 4th, 2019
Good morning, God—thank You!! 🙂
Your word (scripture) has it that You will speak to we who utter in new tongues (the utterance of prayer in a language that is unknown to the one conveying it.) Help me to pursue love. Teach me to interpret the languages of Your Spirit, so that I may know You better, and that I might bring revelation, knowledge, prophecy, or word of instruction to others. In Jesus name. Amen.
1 Corinthians 14 English Standard Version (ESV)
Prophecy and Tongues
14 Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. 2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.
