Just A Note From My Past
Tongues
Six or seven years ago a girl from Uzbekistan was attending
our church. She was a foreign exchange
student who could speak broken English and was very hard to understand by
almost everyone in our church. I'm not
sure why, but I could understand her, maybe because I took the time to
understand.
One night we went to a youth conference where a black preacher
was going to be preaching and boy could that preacher preach. There was only one problem though, during a
break the girl came up to me and said I don't understand anything the preacher
is saying. I said Masha, if you can't understand just ask God to help
you understand.
Soon we were back settled in our seats to hear the booming
preacher. He had a "Preachin' Storm
Goin' On'. as he said. Many kids went forward afterwards, many
renewing and there were many saved.
Masha had taken notes the entire service and seemingly could understand. Afterwards I asked her if she
understood. She told me an amazing
thing, she could hear the preacher just as clearly as if it were in her own
language.
If I have had any experience
at all with tongues that was the day. in
the Bible the people could hear the preaching in their own language. A language that could be understood.
Correction: Last I heard she was attending a good church on a regular basis.
