“In the law it is written, ‘With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me,’ saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for […]

“Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified” (1 Corinthians 14:16, 17 KJV). Father, please give us discernment in […]

“Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then?

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries” (1 Corinthians 14:1, 2 KJV). Father, help us to understand the deeper things of You. […]

“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Corinthians 13:11 KJV). Father, please help us through another week of life. With the joys and harsh realities of life in earth. Through […]

“For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away” ( 1 Corinthians 13:9, 10 KJV). Father, You are Perfect! All the gifts will go away once Your Son comes in a cloud to bring us to […]

“Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things” (1 Corinthians 13:5-7 KJV). Father, please help us to remember to pray to You when we are tempted. […]
