Can G-d give the interpretation, if He so chooses, if a person speaks in tongues in their private prayers?
God prefers that you pray normally so that you know what you had prayed for so that when you get an answer to known prayers that you had prayed for, you can give the Father genuine thanks in Jesus Christ's name for answered prayers.
1 Thessalonians 5:[SUP]17 [/SUP]
Pray without ceasing.[SUP] 18 [/SUP]In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Colossians 1:
[SUP]3 [/SUP]We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,[SUP] 4 [/SUP]Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,The Holy Spirit cannot use God's gift of tongues for speaking unto the people for His own means of praying.
John 16:[SUP]13 [/SUP]Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. KJV
Check any or all the modern Bibles you want, the truth remains the same in John 16:13 that the Holy Spirit cannot speak for Himself; He can only speak what He hears.
That is why all modern Bibles has it wrong in Romans 8:26-27 and only the KJV has it right that the intercessions of the Holy Spirit's are unspeakable because He cannot utter them; not even His groaning. That is why Another is needed to know the mind of the Spirit as this Other searches our hearts is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself at that throne of grace.
Romans 8:[SUP]26 [/SUP]Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.[SUP]27 [/SUP]And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. KJV
Hebrews 4:
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.[SUP] 13 [/SUP]Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.[SUP]14 [/SUP]Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.[SUP] 15 [/SUP]For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.[SUP]16 [/SUP]Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Anyway, you may need to go before that throne of grace for help in discernment and wisdom in regarding God's gift of tongues and what is not His gift of tongues but a supernatural tongue found in the world. We are to shun vain & profane babbling and pray normally so that we can do the will of God in giving thanks to the Father in Jesus's name for known answers to prayers.
2 Timothy 2:[SUP]15 [/SUP]Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.[SUP]16 [/SUP]But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.......[SUP]24 [/SUP]And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,[SUP]25 [/SUP]In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;[SUP]26 [/SUP]And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;[SUP]2 [/SUP]Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Isaiah 8:[SUP]19 [/SUP]And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
