Speaking With God & For God

1 Corinthians 14

Inspired thots

It is great to be able to speak TO God and WITH God.... in words and in tongues.
There is a peace that fills my heart when I pray in tongues...
It is for believers... PRACTICED by Believers as A SIGN for UNbelievers (v22)

Believers speak in Tongues to SHOW to unbelievers God is with them

PROPHECY is FOR Believers... to be used as God's spokesman
With the TONGUES as a SIGN to unbelievers, PROPHECY interpreting the Tongue is HEARD BY UNbelievers, can be convicted.

Hence, a Prophecy CONVICTS an UNbeliever and EDIFIES the Church (v4)

All the Spiritual Gifts are given by God...
.... to be used to Strengthen the Church. (v26)
.... for instructing and encouraging (v31)
.... done in an orderly and fitting manner (v40)
