You know this is really interesting, that some people think it was commandments of Paul to Corinthians... Look at this... Just a few verses furhter....If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. It is commandments of the LORD to even the churches today!
When we read what happens when Godly people gather the whole meeting is described in 1 Corinthians 14 from verse 26 to 40 ...And I am going to answer from the Bible a LOT of questions the people ask about HOW DOES A CHURCH LOOK THAT WORSHIP GOD IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT!
Ok so let us do a thorough study on what happens when SAINTS MEET TO PRAISE GOD.
1 Cor 14:26... Paul says... EVERY one including the women will sing Psalms (Word/Truth) They will all have a doctrine (The doctrine of Jesus) (All were baptized in the SAME HOLY SPIRIT.) (ONE DOCTRINE of JESUS). some will have a tongue, others a revelation, and some an iterpretation of the tongue. HERE is the secret.... ALL WILL BE HEADED AND MANAGED BY CHRIST JESUS THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF! Not one person will say a single word out of himself, becasue the Holy Spirit is in control of EVERYTHING there! He is the one who EDIFIES... MAKES IT ALL ONE!!!
verse 27 and 28... If there is tongues spoken the Holy Spirit will know if there is another that can interpret. If there is no interpreter the Holy Spirit will tell that man to keep quiet! ans only two and maximum three will speak in tongues, and all will be interpreted, if it is not, that person did not listen to the Holy Spirit, and should be reproofed. Beware of these people that speak and there is no interpreter. You can even put that man out of the church, he can go speak to himself and God outside of the meeting! He would not be upset, becasue he is still with God! and maybe God wants to speak to him in private! No harm done.
verse 29... Let the prophets speak... Yep there is prophets in the church of Corinthians and in the church of God, TODAY! and they prophecy what God has ALWAYS told the prophets to prophecy. The Holy Spirit will know what prophecy is needed that day! Remember the spirits of the prophets is still subjected to the prophets of today, and all the prophets of all time! verse 32.
Now when a prophet prophecy the others should JUDGE the prophecy, it should be exactly like it is in the WORD of God. Also two or three, when a fourth wants to prophecy, tell him NO!!! stay to this, because these is GOD'S will what should happen n a church! The ones that wants to change this are NOT OBEYING GOD!
When a prophet is prohecying, and another gets a revelation, the prophet should stop speaking... KEEP quiet, and let the revelation be shared AT ONCE! Again the Holy Spirit is at work, ALL these things are GIVEN BY THE ONE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD AS A SERVICE TO HIS GLORY!
Oh ALL may prophecy, but not in the GATHERING/MEETING... there is plenty time to prophecy to another when the LORD wants to give a prophecy to another as AN EDIFICATION IN TRUTH AND WORD AND SPIRIT! It will still be a prophecy that is found in scripture. That man prophecied too might need to hear it and not read it. It happens lots of times in my life... I will recite a verse to a person, and he or she will say... WOW I never understood it but now that you quoted it I can SEE what God meant...THANK YOU LORD!
God is not in disoray like in Benni Hinn's entertainment theaters. Nope but ordily and in PEACE... a peace we cannot even contemplate as humans. It is the same peace JESUS shown ALL his days on earth. Who thinks Jesus was not at peace when He threw the tables over in the temple... HE WAS 100% at peace! the tables and the others were not but HE WAS!
Verse 34. Then it says your women should keep silence in church... Yes they should! just like the one that wanted to speak in a tongue but the Holy Spirit told him there is no interpreter. And that man did keep silent. And also the prophet... he was busy prophecying when another man got a revelation, and he held his peace, and he kept his silence...
And the women should ask their husbands to explain what they did not understand... Two thisngs happen here... The woman aknowledge the husband as the priest of the home, and she keeps him on his toes with the Word of God! If the man does not understand he will go to a WELL SCHOOLED brother and God's Spirit and Word (Jesus Christ) will once again reign over ALL!
The husband will be blessed to stay in God's Word and Truth and Spirit, and so will the wife. She will be blessed with a husband that will soon also be APT TO TEACH...
And please if we think we are spiritual or a prophet we should KNOW and acknowledge that these things are COMMANDMENTS of the LORD!
If any wants to argue this, you are ignorent and I will let you be ignorent, I do not argue these things! THEY ARE COMMANDS FROM THE LORD FOREVER!!!! In Corinthians, and here in GEORGE and in EVERY CHURCH OF THE SAINTS, until the END OF TIMES!
LORD LET THOU WILL BE DONE. AMEN!
