Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

1 CORINTHIANS Chapter 14 - Gifts Of Prophecy And Tongues

Gifts Of Prophecy And Tongues

FOLLOW THE WAY OF LOVE
AND EAGERLY DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS,
ESPECIALLY THE GIFT OF PROPHECY.

2 For anyone who speaks in a Tongue
DOES NOT SPEAK TO MEN BUT TO GOD.

Indeed, no one understands him;
HE UTTERS MYSTERIES WITH HIS SPIRIT.

3 But everyone who Prophesies speaks to men
For their Strengthening, Encouragement and Comfort.

4 HE WHO SPEAKS IN A TONGUE EDIFIES HIMSELF,
BUT HE WHO PROPHESIES EDIFIES THE CHURCH.

5 I WOULD LIKE EVERY ONE OF YOU TO SPEAK IN TONGUES,
BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE YOU PROPHESY.

HE WHO PROPHESIES IS GREATER
THAN ONE WHO SPEAKS IN TONGUES,
UNLESS HE INTERPRETS,
SO THAT THE CHURCH MAY BE EDIFIED.

6 Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in Tongues,
What good will I be to you,
UNLESS I BRING YOU SOME REVELATION OR KNOWLEDGE
OR PROPHECY OR WORD OF INSTRUCTION?

7 Even I the case of lifeless things that make sounds,
Such as the Flute or Harp,
How will anyone know what tune is being played
Unless thee is a Distinction in the Notes?

8 AGAIN, IF THE TRUMPET DOES NOT SOUND A CLEAR CALL,
WHO WILL GET READY FOR BATTLE?

9 So it is with you.
Unless you speak Intelligible words with your Tongue,
How will anyone know what you are saying?
You will just be speaking into the air.

10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of Languages in the World,
Yet none of them is without meaning.

11 If then I do not Grasp the Meaning
Of what someone is saying.
I AM A FOREIGNER TO THE SPEAKER,
AND HE IS A FOREIGNER TO ME.

12 So it is with you.
SINCE YOU ARE EAGER TO HAVE SPIRITUAL GIFTS,
TRY TO EXCEL IN GIFTS THAT BUILD UP THE CHURCH.

13 For this reason the man who speaks in a Tongue
Should pray that he may Interpret what he says.

14 FOR IF I PRAY IN A TONGUE,
MY SPIRIT PRAYS,
BUT MY MIND IS UNFRUITFUL.

15 So what shall I do?
I WILL PRAY WITH MY SPIRIT,
BUT I WILL ALSO PRAY WITH MY MIND;
I WILL SING WITH MY SPIRIT,
BUT I WILL ALSO SING WITH MY MIND.

16 If you are praising God with your spirit,
How can one who finds himself among those
Who do not understand say 'Amen' to your Thanksgiving,
Since he does not know what you are saying?

17 You may be giving Thanks well enough,
BUT THE OTHER MAN IS NOT EDIFIED.

14 I THANK GOD
THAT I SPEAK IN TONGUES MORE THAN ALL OF YOU.
But in the Church
I would rather speak five Intelligible words to Instruct others
Than ten thousand words in a Tongue.

20 BROTHERS STOP THINKING LIKE CHILDREN.
IN REGARD TO EVIL BE INFANTS,
BUT IN YOUR THINKING BE ADULTS.
21 In the Law it is written:

'Through men of strange tongues
And through the lips of Foreigners
I will speak to this people,
But even then they will not listen to Me,'
Says the Lord.

22 TONGUES THEN ARE AS SIGN,
NOT FOR BELIEVERS BUT FOR UNBELIEVERS;
PROPHECY, HOWEVER IS FOR BELIEVERS,
NOT FOR UNBELIEVERS.

23 So if the Whole church comes together
And everyone speaks in Tongues,
And some who do not understand
Or some Unbelievers come in,
Will they not say that you are out of your mind?

24 But if an Unbeliever
Or someone who does not understand comes in
While everybody is Prophesying,
He will be Convinced by all
THAT HE IS A SINNER AND WILL BE JUDGED BY ALL,
AND THE SECRETS OF HIS HEART WILL BE LAID BARE.

SO HE WILL FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP GOD,
EXCLAIMING,
'GOD IS REALLY AMONG YOU!'

Orderly Worship

26 What then shall we say, brothers?
WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER,
EVERYONE HAS A HYMN, OR A WORD OF INSTRUCTION,
A REVELATION, A TONGUE OR AN INTERPRETATION.

ALL OF THESE MUST BE DONE
FOR THE STRENGTHENING OF THE CHURCH.

27 If anyone speaks in a Tongue,
Two or at the most three--
Should speak, one at a time,
AND SOMEONE MUST INTERPRET.

28 if there is no Interpreter,
The speaker should keep quiet in the Church
And speak to himself and God.

29 TWO OR THREE PROPHETS SHOULD SPEAK,
AND THE OTHERS SHOULD WEIGH CAREFULLY WHAT IS SAID.

30 AND IF A REVELATION COMES TO SOMEONE
WHO IS SITTING DOWN,
THE FIRST SPEAKER SHOULD STOP.

31 FOR YOU CAN ALL PROPHESY IN TURN
SO THAT EVERYONE MAY BE INSTRUCTED AND ENCOURAGED.

32 THE SPIRITS OF PROPHETS
ARE SUBJECT TO THE CONTROL OF PROPHETS.

33 FOR GOD IS NOT A GOD OF DISORDER BUT OF PEACE.

As in all the Congregations of the Saints,
34 Women should remain Silent in the Churches.
They are not allowed to speak,
But must be in Submission, as the Law says.

35 If they want to Inquire about something,
they should ask their own husbands at home;
For it is Disgraceful for a woman to speak in the Church.

36 DID THE WORD OF GOD ORIGINATE WITH YOU?
Or are you the only people it has reached?

37 IF ANYONE THINKS HE IS A PROPHET OR SPIRITUALLY GIFTED,
LET HIM ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT WHAT I AM WRITING YOU IS THE LORD'S COMMAND.

38 IF HE IGNORES THIS,
HE HIMSELF WILL BE IGNORED.

39 THEREFORE, MY BROTHERS, BE EAGER TO PROPHESY,
AND DO NOT FORBID SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

40 BUT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DONE
IN A FITTING AND ORDERLY WAY.
(1 Corinthians 14)
