The gift of Divers kinds of Tongues is speaking supernaturally in an unknown language. It is not understood by the speaker and sometimes not by the hearer. When a person is baptized in the Holy Spirit, they will receive their own personal language from God. The language is not earthly. It is a heavenly language. Every person’s language is individual. There are no 2 spiritual languages the same. And God understands them all. This gift is linked with prophesy. It is prophesy in an unknown language. Just like prophesy is speaking supernaturally in a known language, to edify, exhort, comfort and convict. Divers kinds of Tongues are given to edify, exhort, comfort and convict to the people listening to it. now this is where the Interpretation of Tongues comes in. no one will know what it means unless there is someone to interpret the prophesy. God always gives the interpretation, but each person must be willing to speak out. Sometimes it’s difficult because it is in the middle of church with a large congregation. The first now I ever gave a prophesy, it was like lightning striking through me. I had to sit down after I spoke. Anything God does is always subject to the prophet. God will not make you do or say anything. It is always up to you if you are going to obey. It got easier each time I did prophesy. It wasn’t that I wasn’t careful when I spoke. I was very conscious of what I was saying and doing. This is why God says that a teacher is worth double honor or double damnation. But if you don’t try, you will never know the love that flows through you when God speaks. Again, there are conditions to receiving this gift. Each person must first accept Jesus into their heart. Then each person must be baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. When these 2 conditions are met, then God will give the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Again the power of God isn’t for personal use or abuse. God will not give His power to a sinner.
