I watch your videos as a Zambian 🇿🇲 and I’ve been watching them through the books of Roman and now Corinthians, lovely to find out you’ve visited Zambia.🙏🏽
Tongues are other languages brothers and sister , not gibberish. And even if it was the gibberish that some churches allow there is never an interpreter for these things to just seems out of order.
A fruit of the spirit is self control. And the Holy Spirit will not contradict scripture. We can choose to exercise whatever spiritual gift we are given.
I have realized that you said, “at a specific time.” This would be the time chosen by the Holy Spirit but you do have to exercise self control. Don’t do it for others to see, but we have to ensure we do it for edification.
"So, if you speak a message in a different language, you should pray to God about it. Pray that you may be able to explain to people what the message means. If I pray in a different language, only my spirit is praying. But I do not use my mind while I pray like that. This is what I should do: I will not only pray with my spirit. I will also pray with my mind. I will sing to praise God with my spirit. And I will also do that with my mind. If you are praising God only with your spirit, not everyone will understand. Believers who have not learned these things will not know what you are saying. They cannot agree and say ‘Amen’. You may really be able to thank God very well in your spirit. But your words do not help those other believers to become strong." 1 Corinthians 14:13-17 EASY
"If someone speaks in a different language, he is speaking only to God. The people who hear him do not understand his message. God's Spirit is causing him to speak about secret things. It does not help people. Anyone who speaks in a different language only helps himself. But a person who speaks a message from God helps the believers in the church to become strong. There are many different kinds of languages in this world. They all mean something to the people who speak them. Perhaps somebody may speak to me in a language that I do not understand. Then we are like foreign people to each other. So, if you speak a message in a different language, you should pray to God about it. Pray that you may be able to explain to people what the message means. If I pray in a different language, only my spirit is praying. But I do not use my mind while I pray like that. This is what I should do: I will not only pray with my spirit. I will also pray with my mind. I will sing to praise God with my spirit. And I will also do that with my mind. If you are praising God only with your spirit, not everyone will understand. Believers who have not learned these things will not know what you are saying. They cannot agree and say ‘Amen’." 1 Corinthians 14:2, 4, 10-11, 13-16 EASY
