Spiritual gifts
The gift of Tongues & Interpretation
Your prayer life reaches past your own words, and God uses it to build up both you and the body.
1 Corinthians 12:10 · 1 Corinthians 12:28
“To another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.”1 Corinthians 12:10
In the church
You carry intercession. When exercised in order and with interpretation, your prayer strengthens the whole congregation.
Outside the church
Your private prayer sustains you in pressure others cannot see. You pray your way through the day.
In childhood
You talked to God easily and often, without needing the right vocabulary.
In adulthood
You learn order, submission and love — that this gift, like every gift, exists for the common good.
With others who share it
Pair with interpreters and intercessors. Practice within the boundaries Scripture gives.
Your #GLO plan — Give Light, Offer Hope
- Set a standing time for private prayer.
- Exercise the gift publicly only where it is welcomed and interpreted.
- Pray for specific people and situations by name.
- Let love, not display, govern every expression.
