INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES!

The apostle Paul says we should pray in the Spirit and with the understanding :”I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding” 1 Corinthians 14:15. Personally, I find it hard to pray with the understanding and I start putting my prayer life on the side! But then after a while I remember Paul’s words!

On Romans it says when we don’t know how to pray , the Spirit prays through us with groanings that can’t be uttered! And the Spirit prays right on. We might not know what the petitioning’s or asking’s are, though at times we do, but the Father, at the intercession of Jesus with the mind of the Spirit knows what the prayer is and really it is the Father’s will. “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is , because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8 :26-27 . This was taught at the King’s University by Dr. J. Storms in a class on prayer.1

I find it easy to do, once a day, usually in the morning! I will pray with the understanding also, but feeling less the stress about what to pray for, as I lift the many people in my life in prayer. Interpretation of tongues is also a gift of the Holy Spirit, which is what happens when we pray with the understanding after having allowed the Spirit to pray through us. In ending my prayer time I will seal with the following :’Jesus please intercede continuously to the Father according to the mind of the Spirit, which is the will of the Father.’

NA VEIVAKABULAI ENA VUKU I JISU KARISITO!

Ni sa toso tiko na itukutuku vakarisito, sa kilai na yaca ‘Jisu’ me ‘Yahweh sa Veivakabulai’. Mai na vakasama ni Veiyalayalati Makawa me baleta na Turaga, Dauveivueti, Dauveivakabulai, Kalou, na ibalebale oqo e tokitaki vei Jisu kei na sala era vakabauti Koya kina na lotu Vakarisito. 1 E dina, e muri, eda sa raici Jisu ena gauna oqo me Dauveivueti ka Dauveivueti mai na ivalavala ca kei na butobuto vakayalo, ka vakadavea na dra ena kauveilatai me saumi kina na noda ivalavala ca, kevaka eda vakabauta! Na kena sa ikoya duadua ga na sala vua na Kalou! Sai Koya na noda iVakabula!

E dodonu me tiko vei keda ena gauna oqo e dua na ka e sotavi ena sucu vou me rawa ni da veiwekani kei Koya! Ena Joni 3:3,16 e tukuni kina: “ ‘Sa qai sauma o Jisu ka kaya vua, ‘Au sa kaya vakaidina vei iko, kevaka sa sega ni sucu tale e dua, ena sega ni raica rawa na matanitu ni Kalou’….’Ni sa lomani ira na kai vuravura vakaoqo na Kalou, sa solia kina na Luvena e duabau ga sa vakatubura, me kakua ni rusa ko ira kecega era sa vakabauti koya me bula tikoga’ “ ia me ra bula tikoga1: 25-26 e kaya: “ Sa kaya vua ko Jisu, ‘Oi au na tucake tale kei na bula. O koya sa vakabauti Au, e dina ga ni sa mate, ena bula ga. Ia ko koya sa bula ka vakabauti Au ena sega sara ni mate. O vakabauta beka oqo?’ “

E dodonu gona me da vakabauta ka veivutunitaka na noda ivalavala ca me rawa kina ni da sa veiwekani kei na Kalou ena gauna oqo ka lako ga mai ena dua na sucu vou kei Jisu na noda iVakabula ka Turaga! “Na itekitekivu ni bula Vakarisito e gadrevi kina na nona kila na nona ivalavala ca e dua kei na nona vakadeitaka me biuta na ivakarau ni bula e dau nanumi koya ga.”2.
