 The Gift of Interpretation of Tongues

The Gift of Interpretation of Tongues enables the understanding and communication of messages spoken in tongues, ensuring they edify the congregation.

Biblical Basis

Practical Applications

Interpretation can be used in:

• Public Worship: Translating a message spoken in tongues so the entire church can benefit.
• Confirmation: Validating the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit in a service.
• Teaching and Preaching: Providing insights that enhance the understanding of God’s word and work.

Example in Action

During a church service, if someone speaks in tongues and another interprets, the message can bring new understanding and encouragement to the entire congregation, demonstrating the unity ,power and the impact of the Spirit’s work.
