Speak With New Tongues - 3 Pray in Tongues Interpret It

all right so this afternoon um if you have your bibles go with me to the book of galatians i'll do kind of a fast refresher here in galatians chapter three so galatia excuse me two galatians two and then we'll just kind of pick up where we left off this morning so galatians 2 says this verse 11. now when peter came to antioch i was stood him to the face because he was to be blamed for before certain men came from james he would he would have eaten with the gentiles but when they came he withdrew and separated himself fearing those that were of the circumcision and the rest of the jews also played the hypocrite with him so that even barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy but when i saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel i said to peter before them all if you being a jew live in the matter of the gentiles and not as the jews why do you can why do you compel the gentiles to live as the jews we who are jews by nature are not sinners of the gentiles now if you're not familiar with this what happened here was this is so paul is writing to the gentiles about a confrontation the first time he met peter and peter was sitting at two different tables back in those days the jews would sit over here and then the the gentiles would sit over here and so when peter would sit with the the jews he would act as a jew when he would sit with the gentiles he would act as a gentile and yet he was compelling the the gentiles to live as jews and so it was called the two tables and so paul says i lit this guy up i gave it to him i said you know why are you trying to compel them to live as jews in other words it's it's not necessary because just like we said earlier here this morning we live under a new covenant under better promises is that right a better covenant under better promises so why compel the gentiles to live as the jews and this is where many people in the body of christ do today is they try to compel the gentiles to live as the jews and and that's what peter was doing so then he goes on to say in verse uh chapter three verse one o foolish galatians who's bewitched you that you should should not obey the truth before whose eyes jesus christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified this only i want to learn from you did you receive the spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith are you being so foolish having begun in the spirit that you're now made perfect by the flesh then he goes on to say have you suffered so many things in vain if indeed they are in vain therefore he who supplies the spirit now your version may say supplies the spirit probably a better translation is ministers the spirit we may talk about that a little this weekend he that ministers the spirit to you and works miracles among you did he do it by the works of the lord by the hearing of faith right so then as you keep on going on down he starts to talk about uh in verse 26 for you are all sons of god through faith in jesus christ in chapter 4 he talks about where sons in verse 21 chapter 4 verse 21 he says tell me you who desire to be under the law do you not hear the law for as it is written abraham had two sons one by the bondwoman one by a free woman but the one who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh and he of the the the free woman by promise which things are symbolic and these are the two covenants one from mount zion sinai which gives birth to bondage which is in hagar for this hagar is mount zion in arabia which corresponds to jerusalem which now is and is in bondage with her children but the jerusalem that is what oh above that sounds like a new jerusalem to me uh it's a joke if you weren't here this morning you wouldn't you wouldn't have gotten that but the jerusalem that's above is the mother of us all is that what it says so it sounds like in other words this was created by god right this new covenant this new covenant that we've stepped from the law of moses and that we've stepped into the righteousness in christ of of of our destiny amen so we talked a little bit about that uh this morning then we talked about how in in mark 16 it talks about um those who believe shall do these things they'll cast out demons and the second thing was they'll speak with new tongues ah so this new creation not only has new promises it's not only a new people and so in other words it's not just jew only it's jew and gentile alike it's it's it's not only that but it's even got its own language this new people this new species of being that never existed before we live under better promises a better covenant everything's better better better better right so everything's better and so you know however they function over there we don't have to function over there why because that's been done away with now as we're in christ we hear differently and we function differently why in the old covenant the only ones that had the holy spirit that had the spirit was who it was the prophet the priest and the king if you weren't the prophet priest or king you know you had no chance of having the spirit right so but in the and so they were led under a different way that's why when people talk about things like i i put out a fleece well are you lead like gideon under the law or are you led like paul under the spirit come on i'm serving but you're not hidden back [Laughter] just shake your neighbor just kind of shake the olive garden in their belly a little bit all right so okay so so in other words so we're not led by fleeces because every time i put out a fleece i got fleeced because why because we're not led by the natural did gideon do that yeah he did that under an old covenant but we don't we're not led by fleeces god if you do this and i'll do this and then if you do this and i'll do we're not led that way it doesn't say in romans chapter 8 for as many as are led by fleeces they're the sons of god come on talk to me it says as many as are led by the spirit is that right so now we're led by the spirit we're not led by fleeces we're not led by circumstances oh brother this happened to you so it was the lord no it wasn't not everything that happens to you is the lord yeah but god is sovereign yes you know god knew it was going to happen well just because god knew it doesn't mean it was his will god knew that adam and eve would sin was that his will no god knew that you know charles manson would be a murderer was that his will no of course not so just because something happens doesn't mean god puts a seal of approval on it okay and so so we have to realize that that we are led by the spirit we're not led by fleeces and when i hear believers say well i put out a fleece before the lord and stuff and and i i i heard these believers talking like this in this one church this one time i said to him i said i said did you go to the temple and then go ahead and offer your bulls and your goats and everything else afterwards and they said well no i said well you know that's what they had to do under the old covenant if you're living under the old covenant in a little bit then you've got to live all the way you know don't pour new wine into old wineskin [Music] right because that's what that is is you're trying to live in in a dualistic covenant you're not living in the new and you're not living in the old you're just kind of smorgasbording and picking what you like come on right so so we don't draw from those kinds of things that's not how we're led we're led by the spirit in a different format we're led by the spirit of god and where does he live does he live in a building no he lives in us now we are the temple of the living god he said i will walk in them i will dwell in them i will be their god they'll be my people they will call and i will answer is that right and this brother he give me a great scripture here i got a good scripture for you okay in uh this is a great scripture brother i like that in zephaniah zephaniah 3 you can look at it if you like and he was prophesying of the new covenant and it says this it says verse zephaniah 3 verse 9 for then i will restore all the peoples with a pure language i will restore all the people with a pure or new language and that they may call in the name of the lord to serve him with one accord isn't that a good one it's a great scripture right so now under the new covenant we have the ability to pray in the holy ghost right now this is a sign of the new covenant in the old covenant they didn't do it but now in the new covenant god makes this available who's it available to well acts chapter 2 says this it's to you to your children to all there are far off and as many as the lord our god shall call acts chapter 2 verse 38 and 39 right who is it for four four sets of people to you to your children to all that are far off and as many as the lord our god shall call okay so so know that kind of going going into this that this is who it's available to so if you've never been baptized in the holy spirit i checked with god this morning he's in a great mood is your day right and so so this is your day he's in an awesome mood today all right just like he is every day his mercies are new every morning amen and so with that in mind that now we can pray in a new tongue now what i said in the last session i'll repeat it again is this it doesn't say you'll pray in an old tongue or the tongue that you got in 1979. okay some people say i was filled with the spirit in 1979 yeah but it leaked out in 81. okay so so start to pray in the new tongue begin to stretch your prayer language that you may begin to grow okay and so i want you to remember that because we're going to talk about that and some other stuff so because it's easy to get into a bad habit of just praying the same words phrases sounds and syllables when you can stretch your faith in that area very very simply amen okay so now this morning we talked a little bit about praying in tongues and we talked about two different words anyone remember those two words i said write down intentional and methodical ah cool so we can begin to intentionally and methodically at our will not at the spirit's will but at our will begin to pray in the spirit right and so what you can do is you can learn the art of of intentional and methodical praying in the spirit with articulation there's a third word you can throw in if you'd like oh you're good ah cool can i use that right now that'd be awesome so uh you can put a third word in if you're writing notes put methodical you could put intentional and you could also put the word with articulation articulation means this it's the form of clear and distinct sounds in speech so when we pray in the spirit we can articulate okay so we can articulate and begin to um begin to stretch our faith and stretch our prayer language into these realms and begin to let the lord begin to use that particular thing so that you begin to grow because as your as you begin to grow in your prayer language okay or prayer tongue whatever you want to call it as you stretch it to grow what happens is your faith grows so now all of a sudden you think to yourself if i could stretch myself there i could stretch myself in evangelism i could stretch myself in healing the sick i can stretch myself in whatever the gifts of the holy spirit and words of knowledge and all of these different things so you could begin to do that how do i do it though you do it by faith you do it by faith and we talked about this morning that in the new covenant everything is triggered by faith or by believing if you believe it you can do it if you believe it you can do it if you believe you can't do it you can't do it are you with me so some people will say well i just don't have that gift brother i i would like to do it but i don't have that that gift well then you can't right you instantly shut down your ability so that's where i bring this up about praying in the spirit uh and beginning to be intentional intention oh lord help me methodical and number three is with articulation now what do i mean by that well that you begin to form the letters god is not going to possess your mouth and make other sounds come out it doesn't work that way it's us working with the spirit now i want to give you a scripture out of first corinthians chapter six so if you want to go over to the new testament to first corinthians chapter 6 verse 17. first corinthians 6 whoa 17. i just know how to do that there so first corinthians 6 17 just one verse says this he that is joined to the lord is one spirit with him so he that is joined to the lord is how many spirits ah so we're one spirit okay so now we're one spirit with him okay so now we're once if we are one spirit with him then what that means is this is that as i take the initial step he is instantly there to provide the wording okay so now some of you are bi bilingual that you're able to speak multiple languages some of you speak russian some of you can speak spanish and i'm still working on english all right so but still nonetheless that you know as a child begins to learn a language you know they try and they try to articulate it and you say no no you you say the r like this or whatever it might be so what are you saying you're saying articulate it begin to pronounce it or articulate it in a little bit different uh manner amen okay so now so he that is joined to the lord is one spirit now just remember that and go over to first corinthians 14. so first corinthians 14. now some of this is review but it's good to review right yes tom keep going you're doing great take a third offering okay i will all right oh sorry you weren't saying anything so i'm just going to encourage myself there so all right so first corinthians 12 verse 12 says even so since you are zealous of spiritual gifts or spiritual manifestations you're zealous of them paul doesn't say don't calm it down calm it down let it be calm and quiet and god is so holy and so quiet and he's almost asleep don't wake the old man up whatever you do come on right no what does it say it says this even though you're zealous of what spiritual manifestations or gifts let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel now i've said this before but i want to say this is that the gift the gifts of the spirit and we'll call them gifts of the spirit the gifts of the spirit are not toys but they're tools so these aren't toys that you feel better about you these are tools that you'll bless somebody else right so what you were just giving somebody just a few minutes ago when you were giving them a scripture it wasn't a toy so that you have a better self-esteem no no it wasn't about you it was about what you were giving okay so as you're giving it what happens is is you are blessing and activating something in that person's heart right okay so so here he says since you're zealous of spiritual gifts let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel therefore let him who prays in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret okay then he says for if i pray in a tongue my spirit prays okay but my understanding is unfruitful okay so we already brought this forth here about we are one spirit so we're one spirit and also he says listen my spirit ah praise when when i pray in the spirit okay this is why when you say okay i'm gonna pray in the spirit the enemy just wants to virtue oh you know why don't you feed the poor and oh why don't you you know why don't you bless this other person why don't you call somebody and share jesus with i mean anything to not pray in the spirit come on don't look so holy at me all right it happens to all of us so we hear that voice of the soul or the flesh that just says anything but that you know that's why like when you're praying in the spirit you're like i have to have been praying in the spirit for at least a half an hour and you look at your watcher like holy crap it's three minutes what the heck you know why is that well because your flesh is dragging its feet and so you have to do this by your will this is by your will you have to tell your your spirit has to tell your flesh what it's doing right and and so i even just challenge you begin to start to you know push your prayer time in the spirit every single day if you say well i pray in the spirit for about 10 minutes a day well then i just challenge you begin to you know push it beyond say all right i'm going to pray a half hour in the spirit okay and as you begin to do so it activates things in your spiritual life revelation comes alive the lord begins to use you to pray for things that you don't even know that you you need prayer for right so here he says listen your spirit is praying everyone say my spirit so your spirit is praying right what's it praying it's praying the perfect will of god right okay so he says therefore let him who speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he what may interpret okay so now my spirit is praying and so however he says this he says listen he said the problem is this is that my mind is unfruitful he doesn't say my spirit is he says my mind is unfruitful so your mind is unfruitful what you are praying in the spirit okay and so here's where we need to realize that that god is taking all of us i just have to move this over i don't want it to fall zach okay so um all right where was i going here all right so your mind is unfruitful well how can i begin to step over there to begin to pray in the spirit well i never thought you'd ask okay so what do i do well what i do is this intentionally methodically i prayed in the spirit now intentionally and methodically you're gonna pray the interpretation back to my mind however an interpretation is not a translation so i'll say that again so if pastor vitale got up and started saying something to you in russian and i could interpret i would he may go for three minutes and he's done and in 20 seconds i said well this is basically what he's saying that's not a translation a translation is word for word everything he said but an interpretation is here i'll boil it down this is basically what what the guy's saying you understand so as you pray in tongues that's why sometimes when someone prays excuse me is gives a tongue and the interpretation is a different length than the tongue it's just because it's an interpretation not a translation okay so so it it just gives it just summarizes it's a summary that's what it is right so praying in the spirit and we can interpret it back to our own minds now how am i going to begin to do this uh what did we say earlier it's by what you believe right if you think it's difficult and you say well this is difficult that's what i believe then it's difficult but if you say to yourself no it's not difficult i can do this right then this is available to all in christ right so as he keeps going he says for if i pray not in a tongue my spirit prays but my understanding is unfruitful what is the conclusion then i will ah look here so here he brings in these words i will not the holy spirit will i will i will what he says i will pray with the spirit i will pray with the understanding i will sing with the spirit and i will sing with the understanding okay so you can do this at your will so last week i was at this other church this other very religious church and so i was trying to get the people to connect to the spirit it was just kind of that type of a service and so i said all right let's everybody pray in the spirit so i was praying in the spirit and so as i was praying in the spirit when we were done i just said here's what the spirit says and i just quickly interpreted this is what i just said in tongues and they were like oh yeah but he didn't say ye or yay or my little children or okay so to interpret or to give a prophetic word you don't have to speak in 1611 english okay that's that was the new king excuse me the king james bible okay so it doesn't make it more holy right brother it doesn't make it you can talk listen you could talk in texan that's a joke okay it's okay to laugh all right so god so we can we can boil it down and and the spirit of god will begin to give us the interpretation as we pray in tongues so i'll give you a great example i'm probably getting a little ahead of myself but i remember one time i was reading through the word and i was reading again through ephesians 4. and i come to ephesians 4 23 and says be renewed in the spirit of your mind so i just said holy spirit you know the word you wrote it what is the spirit of my mind and i started to pray in tongues and i spent about 30 seconds to a minute praying in tongues and i paused and i just said to myself nobody else was in the room i said i didn't even know what i was going to say i said this is what the spirit says the spirit of your mind is and all of a sudden it came out of my i couldn't believe it all of a sudden the holy spirit said this through me he said the spirit of your mind is the direction you point your thoughts i was like holy cow i got to write that down that's flipping good that's amazing i didn't even know that see so what happened is i how did i get that i got that by tongue and interpretation so we can begin to start to practice this kind of stuff on our own even in just the reading of the word of god so in just in the reading of the word you can begin to stretch and grow and stretch your faith right and so let me say it to you like this where does the interpretation come from it comes from the same place that tongues do where do words of knowledge come from the same place where tongues do come on where does prophecy come from the same place that tongues does it all comes from the same place and it's all activated the same but you've had experience and confidence by praying in tongues and not as much confidence in the others why because you haven't had the activity of it we were talking about this last night so for me because i've ministered to so many people i've had over whatever fifteen hundred or two thousand we stopped counting really about two thousand cripples rise and walk in our ministry so i mean so to me if i see someone walk in with crutches or in a wheelchair oh my god i'm just so excited i can't even continue the service because why because i have seen this so many times you understand or if somebody comes in and and they're deaf and they're signing to somebody i get i get i mean i just get excited i'll stop the whole service oh please please bring them up here bring them up here and we just had a girl last week in wisconsin or two weeks ago in wisconsin that was stone deaf healed we were ministering on one other church and someone came in and the meeting was over and they walked into the foyer of the church and the woman was completely deaf prayed for the woman she was instantly healed we got the whole thing on video and stuff and so but we've had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds so because i do it so much i have confidence i said this earlier faith comes by hearing the word but confidence comes by as you do it and the same thing is true regarding praying in the spirit and interpreting it the more you begin to do it the more you begin to say okay lord i'm going to just do this i'm just going to give this a shot i'm going to go for this thing i've i've never done anything like this before but we're going to just you know stretch our faith and we're going to move forward and we're just going to give this a shot and i just believe lord that you'll use me in this particular area and the moment you say that with your mouth you activated it it came alive come on right so you your words seated it for your life but if you say i can't do that i can't do now your belief is mixed now with your words and you literally shut your faith is shutting down in that area amen so that's why i i believe this is that you know we have to be careful as as spirit-filled believers that we don't allow tongues to become form a religious form right we have many religious forms of things in the church things that have you know at one time started off great and then it's just gone another direction so you know now it's just become religious form you know like we were talking last night about communion you know you see people during communion all of a sudden people are buzzing around talking and this and that also community it's like they had a heart attack or something oh like would you did god not see you just moments ago did you just you know all of a sudden of course god saw you before right so but it what is it it's become a form it's become ritual right okay so praying in tongues and interpreting it was it was always meant to be a dialogue not a monologue prayer was never intended to be a monologue many of us when we pray we expect it to be a monologue a one-way conversation not a two-way conversation i remember i went to kenneth hagin's bible school and kenneth hagin he was notorious for you you would hear his whole conversation with god but he would answer you would hear him answering the lord back and forth in like a conversation but this this was his life i mean he was always this way and he would say yeah i know they're not ready to hear that so i won't share that this time and we're like wait a minute what the heck yeah we're ready come on man bring it you know what are you talking about but he's like having this conversation with the lord and we would hear this often right and i believe this that as we begin to treat it more like a monologue excuse me a little more like a dialogue than a monologue i believe it's like it would stretch our faith i remember hearing this man of god on this video and he was talking about prayer and he said every morning when i go to pray he said i get oh victor you'll love this two cups of coffee one for me and one for jesus and he says and i have these two chairs in our one in our den and he says and what i do is i just put a cup of coffee there for him that never gets drank he goes i would love it one day if all of a sudden it was gone he likes it holy cow you know and so he says i make him a cup and me a cup and then he says and i just turn to that chair and i just start talking and i start answering what i sense in my spirit and i talk and then i answer back come on right what is that it's it's you're stretching your faith in learning to hear the voice of god so now what is prophetic ministry what is prophecy and in words of knowledge and stuff like that it's it's us putting our ear to the mouth of god and our mouth to the ears of man right so it's us putting our ear to the mouth of god and us putting our mouth to the ears of men right so that which we practice in the private all of a sudden now becomes public so if you say well i'm not practicing anything in private well then that's why nothing's happening in public right so what you practice in private is what you'll practice and do in public okay so um all right so back here first corinthians chapter 14. now verse 21 let's jump ahead in the law it is written with men with other tongues and other lips i will speak so here he's he he's quoting isaiah 28 and as he's quoting isaiah 28 let me just get rid of this here so as as he's quoting isaiah 28 says men with other tongues and with other lips i will speak so god even tells us 400 years before the crucifixion god was prophesying through the prophet this would be a way by which that we would begin to hear the voice of god and respond through what through praying in tongues and interpreting it he says this i will speak to this people and yet for all that they will not hear me therefore tongues are a sign not to those who believe but to the unbelievers prophesying is not for believers but for those who believe okay now i want to share something with you that i've shared before but i'll share it again i call it two different kinds of tongues okay number one is a horizontal and number two is vertical vertical is from us to god us to god needs no interpretation is that right doesn't god know all languages is that right how many of you aren't going to say anything no matter what i say oh okay okay so but horizontal if i speak to you in tongues it doesn't do you any good i get blessed but you get nothing but if i speak to you in tongues and then i interpret now all of a sudden you're blessed is that right so that needs to be interpreted okay so horizontal tongues have to be interpreted if i give a message to you in tongues okay so but if i'm just talking to god in tongues i don't need an interpretation i can but i don't need to but if you he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks mysteries to god if you're speaking mysteries wouldn't you kind of like want to know some of those mysteries right i mean just think about it that as we begin to pray in the spirit some of you business people you've got different business people and entrepreneurs in here of all kinds and stuff wouldn't it be awesome if the lord began to give you supernatural wisdom and supernatural ideas right that all of a sudden you're able to know the you know various different things going on in your company right wouldn't that be great okay so now all of a sudden we say we say to ourselves hey listen if the lord knows this stuff i want him to tell me so how do i access it well there's a way by which that we have to access it okay so how do i access it i access it all by faith so you
