Tongues and Interpretation?

Bump...why do we go by "feelings"?

If you go by intellect you know God said "I will never leave you nor forsake you" no matter how you feel

This is true and anything we do or respond to should never go outside of what is written in the Word. However, God's presence among us is going to, naturally, involve both our intellect and our feelings/emotions. When they both line up, it's awesome in the house and in our private time with Him!! Give me both any day and I am good - intellect and feelings/emotions!!!

We all base things on how we "feel." In the context of my comment, I "feel" based on what I know concerning the word of God...however it is also based on a strong inner witness. We all should have that.

I feel everyone on this thread is wrong but me. That is my feeling. So, you are wrong and I am right.

Going by "feelings" alone is hazardous. I've seen alot of error and have made many mistakes relying on "feelings'.

The Bible says, "My sheep KNOW my voice". Its more than just a feeling. Its a knowledge that goes far deeper than a mere feeling. Can't describe it. Paul once said "I know in whom I have believed...." It wasn't just a feeling. If it was, he would have wilted the first time he was imprisoned. As Kingdomapostle said it is a "strong inner voice". And yes, if we have the Holy Ghost, we should all have it. The Bible refers in one place to "a small still voice". Another place its a voice "like many waters". Whatever it is, we know it to be His Voice.

It's more than a feeling. That's the best way I could describe it, a feeling.

There's something about when God speaks, it bears witness with my spirit that the message is genuine. It's indescribable.

There's just been certain wording also that leave you curious, was that really God?

Would God say in TI, "prepare your harvest" when the harvest belongs to him?

Yes, he said he would never leave nor forsake us. And?

Are we not given crowns to cast at the masters feet?

Just like everything else, proper interpretation is required. So if a pastor is a Shepherd, and we are his sheep, yet Jesus is our Shepherd and we are his sheep. Which is true?
So a church can have their Harvest of Souls, but in the over all picture, Jesus is the Master Harvester. Common sense and logic.

I prefer not to base things on how I feel. Feelings are subjective. That does not mean I don't get emotional but I don't believe in letting feelings be our guide...though that hasn't stopped me when it comes to women at times but I know it's better to think rationally then head into a bad relationship just because you are emotionally attached

Prepare the Harvest could mean mean get ready to harvest.

Harvest is both a noun and a verb.

Harvest is both a noun and a verb.

The wording was prepare "your" harvest.....not prepare "the" harvest. The wording was as if the harvest was our personal possession.

"T&I" will be experienced when it is promoted and desired and expected.

Much of the desire for T&I comes when the ministry is majoring in the minors, and not presenting deep spiritual and practical truths. The folks get restless and hungry for what God desires.

Paul clearly stated that true ministry in the native tonque is the most desirable to impart truths to the Body of Christ.

Many times what is spoken as interpetation is shallow and general and provides no signficant benefit to the folks, other than an emotional rise. I am not against T&I, I am against nonsense, folks without maturity will not provide much thru "T&I". However, I have no problem saying "amen" to truth, even when it is simple truth that almost any believer already knows and embraces.

Having said all that, I believe ministry that is vetted with study, prayer and deep desire for the things of God will speak great truths thru the Spirit of prophecy in our native tongue. I deeply desire to know what God is doing and to join Him in those things, I am open and seeking to "hear" His voice. Amen
