Gifts of the Spirit - Part 2 (Rora 2003) — Norman Meeten

God's Holiness and the Purpose of Spiritual Gifts

God is absolutely holy. He's the only really holy one and He's the one who becomes our holiness by His Spirit within. Praise God. Now this is my second session in the gifts of the Spirit. I have no idea what Les is going to do tomorrow.

He's here to take notes. I want to start on a broad platform again this morning and then go back into 1 Corinthians chapter 12, 13 and 14 where we have probably the main body, not the exclusive body, of the scriptural truth related to the gifts of the Spirit.

And by the way, they're not called gifts, they're called spirituals. But if we go into John chapter 16, we see these words. Verse 13. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth.

For He shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak. And He will show you things to come. He shall glorify Me, for He shall receive of Mine and shall show it unto you.

I believe that the whole purpose which God gives to you and me, His precious gifts, is to enable us to glorify Him. They're His. He gives them to us in order that we might use them unto that end. Now many people get very fearful and get all locked up and they're not sure.

Weakness as the Platform for God's Power

You feel weak, you feel inadequate. The Apostle Paul is about exactly the same. If you look into 1 Corinthians chapter 2, when he's writing his first letter in which he goes on to talk about the gifts of the Spirit, he says in verse 1 of chapter 2,.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony or the witness of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. And of course then he goes on in the second letter where he talks about his thorn in the flesh, which lots of people have crazy ideas about.

They imagine what it was. In fact, the context tells you exactly what it was. If you want to look at that, lots of people think that he had eye trouble. Other people suggest that he suffered from epilepsy.

Other people think he had marital problems because he was a Pharisee and it would be unusual for a man like Paul, a Pharisee of the Pharisees, not to have had a wife. We're not told anywhere in the Scripture that he had or that she had abandoned him.

Some people suggest that that was his problem. Other people, even blasphemers, suggest that he had a moral problem which constantly defeated him. That is an infamous lie. You look into 2 Corinthians chapter 12 where he talks about his thorn in the flesh.

It says in verse 7,. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelation that was given to me, a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in mine infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. There is his thorn in the flesh, beloved, defined in a fivefold manner.

And you know that five is the number for grace. When the devil can't get us along one line, he will try another and try another. Isn't that their experience? He often tries along the line of our former weakness.

But if he doesn't get us along that line, then he'll try another. Now Paul never used his weakness as a platform to excuse sin. He saw weakness as a magnificent platform upon which God could demonstrate his power.

Some of you have heard me quote a woman called Lilius Trotter. She was a remarkable woman who worked in North Africa for many years. John Ruskin, the great Victorian art critic and social reformer, when he met her with her mother in Florence, said that she would probably become the greatest female artist of her day.

She turned her back on all of it and went and worked, spent the whole of her life in North Africa working amongst the Muslims. She did do some painting only to serve the Lord's purposes. There are some little books.

Sorry, they're out of print. The plates have been destroyed. I tried to get hold of them. They cannot be reduced except by photocopying. You can get quite a good reproduction of that today. Parables of the cross, parables of the crown, all based on that lovely text, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it will bide alone.

But if it die, it will bring forth much fruit. Lilius Trotter said this, we are so slow to learn that it is only our weakness that he requires. We think it's our strength, we think it's our natural ability, our brain and all the other things.

It's only our weakness that he requires. And that's why he talks about you and me as an earthen vessel that is invested with the treasure in order that all the glory and all the power should be related unto him.

Glory to his name. And I believe that that's very applicable when we face this whole subject concerning the gifts of the spirit. As I say, many people think that they're inadequate, they're insufficient, they haven't got the capacity, they haven't got the vocabulary.

That's the very point to which we all have to come. That statement of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 follows on from the great exposition where Paul talks about the cross or the word of the cross, the locus of the cross being the power of God unto salvation to all those who believe.

Blessed be his name. He is all that we need and he will give to us everything that we need to enable us to live the life that he intends us to live and to give us the ability to do the things that he wants you or me to do.

And that's why there's such diversity, why there are such differences when he talks about these things. Amen. Now let us turn into the 12th chapter. 12, 13 and 14 there. All linked most wonderfully and arranged most beautifully.

Why Paul Says Believers Must Not Be Ignorant of Spiritual Gifts

I am so glad that chapter 13 is sandwiched between the other two chapters. First of all I want to point out quite simply why Paul regarded the gifts of the Spirit or spirituals as they are more accurately called to be so important.

He uses some very strong words. Chapter 12 verse 1 he says, Now concerning spirituals, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. He uses that phrase on more than one occasion. I would not have you ignorant.

Now he sent the Holy Spirit to educate us in spiritual truth. It's not whether we're academic, it's not whether we've been to a Bible school and learned all the contents of the Bible and been led astray as Ron seemed to suggest that many of us have been over the years.

I went to Bible college for four years and spent the next four years trying to unlearn things that I'd learned. And then the Spirit came. Amen. And things which were an absolute enigma to me before suddenly became so blindly simple and real.

He would not have us ignorant. One of the terrible tragedies in the realm of Catholicism was that for years and years they were not allowed to read the Bible. The Bible could only be interpreted by the church and the vehicle of the interpretation was the priest that ended up in a person called the Pope.

Praise God, things have changed in Catholicism and people are allowed to read their Bibles today but there's still a degree of breaks onto what people can believe or not believe. I would not have you ignorant.

And I suppose for many, many years, even within the evangelical Protestant part of Christendom there was an abominable ignorance concerning the baptism of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. And that's why when God graciously moved at the beginning of the last century in what was known as the Pentecostal Revival started in Azusa Street, I think, in California where the preacher used to preach with his head in an orange box so that he didn't deflect away from the glory of God.

We used to read a book, What Happened at Azusa Street, one of the things that really got us on a spiritual high. We loved it. And then what happened down in South Wales, 1904 and so on. I once had the joy of going and preaching at the top of the valley and the pastor there was well into his 80s and he had been involved in the Welsh Revival and he just loved talking about it.

But it sounded like ancient history. That was a tragedy. I believe that he was living in the reality of it. But on the whole, people who called themselves Pentecostals seemed to have little knowledge or understanding concerning these things.

I remember just after I was baptized in the Spirit I was invited to preach in a Pentecostal church in Liverpool. I'd never been in one before. And being Pentecostals, I thought that they'd know it all.

I knew about that much. They'd ask me to talk about the gifts of the Spirit. I knew about that much. I'd hardly begun to move. You would have thought that I'd come from planet Mars. I said, where did you get all that from?

Where did you learn all that? We're Pentecostals. We don't know anything about that. I was amazed. Many people, beloved, live in abject ignorance of the things of the Spirit that God intends His people to enjoy.

I often call the gifts of the Spirit the tools of love or the tools of the Holy Spirit that equip us and enable us to do what God wants us to do and to live as He wants us to live. Tools of the Spirit.

I would not have you ignorant. Go to the end of the same chapter. That's chapter 12, verse 31. But covet earnestly the best gifts and yet show I unto you a more excellent way. Of course, lots of people shut up then and say, we don't need the gifts.

We've found the more excellent way. We are going to live in the good of chapter 13. Well, you will have no power to live in the good of chapter 13 apart from the Spirit of God. As we were reminded this morning in Romans chapter 5, it's not until the love of God has been shed abroad in our heart that we have any ability to love.

As I say, the gifts of the Spirit, I believe, are the tools that God equips us with to enable us to express the love of God to men and women and to bring glory to His Son, the Lord Jesus. Covet. A very powerful word.

The Ten Commandments were told not to covet. But here's one thing that you can covet. Covet earnestly. These are not weak words. They are very strong words. Covet earnestly the best gifts. Go into chapter 14 now and verse 1.

Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts but rather that ye may prophesy. I suppose desire is one of the strongest forces in the human personality. The desire. Associated with coveting is it? If desire goes wrong, it goes into the realm of being covetous.

It's this desire, this longing, that thing deep down inside of you that says, I must have it. Desire spiritual gifts. Then further down in chapter 14 in verse 12 it says,. Even so ye, for as much as you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

I would not have you ignorant. Covet earnestly. Desire. Be zealous for. Amen. That indicates to me that Paul didn't regard this as an appendage or something that you could just brush over. He spends three whole chapters in this epistle alone.

Now let me say, the reason why he spends so much time is, was he was correcting misuse and abuse. You know lots of people say, well the gifts of the spirit aren't important because they're not talked about specifically in any other letter of the Apostle Paul.

Well if you use that argument and say that it's irrelevant, you can use exactly the same argument regarding the breaking of bread because you don't read about the breaking of bread in the other epistles either.

The only reason why Paul wrote this to the Corinthian church was he was correcting misuse and abuse and wanted to put them right. Lovingly. Amen. You know sometimes we read the first epistle of the Corinthians and think that Paul had got it in for them.

Or read the first chapter. He says, You come behind in no gift. There's some wonderful things about them. And it was because of his tremendous love for them. He couldn't let them just slide. That's true love, beloved.

That isn't afraid of facing people up with their lack or their need. As I say, many people are gripped by fear. I heard a story. It's a true story. Many years ago, a young man who was the victim of a dysfunctional family, abandoned, put in one orphanage after another and then was taken to one home after another and he was in absolute pain in the neck.

Everyone despaired on him. Everyone gave up on him. And it just compounded his awful feeling of utter rejection. And he rebelled and he rebelled and he was utterly impossible to live with. And then a young farmer and his wife, in obedience to the Lord, said that they would have him.

Well, he led them a dance. Until one day, he took this young man behind a haystack, pulled down his pants and gave him a thrashing of his life. And then the devil said, you've blown it. You've done what everyone else has done.

You've despaired and given up on him. The devil's an awful liar. Later on in that day, that young man came to the young farmer and he said, you're the first person who's had the courage to love me. That's not weakness, beloved.

That's strength. That's the love of God operative in the heart of a man and a woman. And fear so often incapacitates people from moving into this realm where we're prepared to put our lives at the disposal of God if necessary be made to look a fool.

God doesn't write you off, beloved. But if you make a mistake, if you don't make any mistakes, you'll never make anything. We've become so cautious. You can apply this to many other areas of spiritual experience.

You can become so cautious, so diplomatic. But you're terrified of doing anything. We had a wonderful visual aid last night. That man only told you a fraction of his past. I've heard it all. Perhaps not all, but heard far more than you heard last night.

That man is so convinced of the love of God and the sufficiency of his redemptive work that he's free of all blemishes, all hold-ups. Doesn't need anyone to add to it, no one to take away from it. He knows that what God did for him, Christ, by that miracle of the new birth has made him another man.

And he stood here visibly, fearless. I don't know how you felt. Boldness. Hallelujah. May God make us bold, beloved. May He give us the courage to let go and stop worrying about what other people think, what other people say.

And give ourselves over to the Lord and allow His Spirit to reign and rule in His heart and move in us in any and every way that He wants to. Amen. Amen. I believe that our meetings will be much more exciting if we did that.

I've already pointed out to you the day before yesterday that we've got that wonderful cameo picture of a church meeting in chapter 14. Amen. It doesn't say there were any elders there or any pastors or anyone to keep an eye on them.

I'm sure that they were there. They were doing their job properly, but they were overseen. They weren't dominating. They weren't controlling. They weren't manipulating. And as those people met together, when the church had come together, amen, all manner of things happened.

Glory be to God. And those who came in from the outside came to the conclusion that God was in them up amidst. Amen. That Jesus was glorified. People recognised His presence because of what was happening.

So that's the first thing. This is not just a superficial thing. It's not an appendage. It's not unimportant. It's an essential part of Christian experience. If we want to be used of God, we've got to move out of the realm of the natural into the realm where God can have His way.

The Lordship of Christ as the First Context for Spiritual Gifts

Now I want to look at another lovely truth that comes within these chapters. And that is the context in which the gifts of Spirit normally operate. Not always, but normally. First of all in chapter 12 and verse 3.

Wherefore I give you to understand that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed or anathema. And that no man can say that Jesus Christ, Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. So first of all, the context in which these things function is where Jesus Christ is Lord.

That's one of the most wonderful things that happens to a man or a woman when the Spirit of God comes to indwell His person. He takes over the throne of His life and He's Lord. There are parts of Christians today that say that if you add the Lordship of Jesus Christ to the doctrine of salvation, you've moved away from the simplicity of it.

That's a lie. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. It doesn't say whosoever shall call upon the name of Jesus. I know that that sounds as if we're splitting hairs, but it says, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

When the Spirit of God comes to a man or a woman, He comes, beloved, because we've relinquished the hold over our natural life. We have ceased to be in control of our own destiny. The Spirit of God has come and enthroned Himself within our hearts.

That's wonderful. He's not just a Spirit that floats round in the ethereal blue. He's a Spirit who's chosen to come and locate Himself in every man and woman who opens up their being to Him. Of course, He's up there.

He's everywhere. Amen. But it's knowing the personal reality. I knew all about that, but before I knew the doctrine. When God baptised me in the Holy Ghost, I didn't know whether I was coming or going.

My theological alpacart was just turned over and it went rolling in every direction. It didn't fit into anything that I'd learned. That's why I said I had to spend years unlearning the things that I'd learned.

But I knew that the Spirit of God had come, although I couldn't understand it. I couldn't put a name to it, although I'd probably written essays about it. I couldn't put a name to it. But I knew that He'd come and all that had formerly been utterly impossible was now possible.

It's no longer a struggle. He had no usurper any longer in my life. Wonderful. And in that context where the Spirit of God is reigning as Lord of our lives. Amen. The gifts of the Spirit are safe. Absolutely safe.

If He's in control, if He tells me what to do and I do it, then it's safe. I remember that when I was baptised in the Spirit, a friend of mine who had been a long, long standing friend, we'd worked together, we'd done youth work together.

We were like brothers, literally. When I was baptised in the Spirit, he violently disagreed. And he was about to say, it's of the devil. And I physically put my hand over his mouth and I said, Joe, don't say it.

I said, whatever you think at this moment in time, please don't say it. But our lives parted like that. I can't say where that man stands in relationship to the Lord today, but our lives parted. I still love him.

There are other people in this tent who know him. But our ways parted. The Spirit of God had come. When the Spirit of God comes, you've got to be prepared to let go and relinquish every other thing. That's why Jesus talked about hating our father and our mother, our wife, our children, and our own lives.

Sounds horrendous, doesn't it? He doesn't literally mean that we hate our parents, our wives, our children. In fact, it's only when the love of God is shared abroad in our heart and we yield ourselves unconditionally to the Spirit of God, we have the ability to love these people, those whom we are married to, those who have parented us on the earth, those who have come forth from our loins, the ones who are nearest and dear to us.

The only way in which we can love them properly is when the love of God is shared abroad in our hearts. All the rest, at the best of it, is sentimental, human. It runs out very quickly, and that's one of the explanations to the breakdown of so many marital relationships and why so many children run off into the world, away from their families.

But Jesus, by the Holy Ghost, has to be Lord of our whole life, and then we're safe in this realm. The second context in which we see these things operating so wonderfully, you'll find in verse 12 and 13, For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free, and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. Amen. The context, beloved, is the church.

The Gathered Church as the Normal Context for Spiritual Gifts

That's where these things can function properly. Now that doesn't mean to say that you cannot exercise gifts of the Spirit outside of the gathered company of God's people. I remember once someone said to Mr North, where did he get all the revelation?

They wanted to know what books he'd read, what sort of people he'd listened to. And he said, I never forgot what he said. He said, I get most of it laying flat on my face, speaking in tongues. That was on his own.

But there are dangers. There was a time in Liverpool when a group of ladies, all very desirous of getting married, gathered together and they spoke in tongues and prophesied to one another and interpreted, and they'd all concluded he was going to marry.

The problem was, seven people all believed that they were told of the Lord to marry the same man. He didn't marry any of them. Praise God. But they all confided in my wife that God had spoken to them, that they'd had a word of prophecy, they'd been seeking the Lord together.

And one after the other, they came and said, it's this one, I'm not going to tell you who it is. Some of you may know. Amen. He escaped. He married someone entirely different. And probably those ladies are glad today that they didn't marry him.

Not because he's a bad boy, but because he's in a tight spot. Amen. And if they had married him out of the will of God, beloved, it would have been havoc. The normal context in which the gifts of the Spirit will function will be in the gathered assembly of God's people.

And it talks about prophecy. It says, let's look at it in chapter 14, where we were the other day, when the whole church become together. And then it says, down in verse 28, no, verse 29, let the prophets speak two or three and let other judge.

If anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be comforted. The spirits of the prophet are subject to the prophets.

I haven't found the piece that I want. About testing the word. Help me out, Ron. No, I can't see it. Sorry. But it speaks about testing the word, weighing it, considering it. Not everything that is spoken in the church is necessarily the work of the Spirit of God.

You can say the right words, can't you? Thus saith the Lord, harken unto me, pay attention to what I'm going to say, and so on. It all sounds very good. But you can't reduce God to jargon. Someone speaks a prophecy and it says, let others test it, consider it, weigh it.

When I was in a local church as a regular attender, which I am not now, sometimes if someone spoke a word, I would stop the meeting. Now, you don't do this in every meeting. I'd stop the meeting and say, one, do we believe that God has spoken?

Two, what has he said? I find that many people, because in one ear and out of the other, at the end of the meeting, they have no idea. If we really believe that God is speaking to his people through a gift of the Spirit, then we should be all ears.

What has he said? And then finally, to whom does it apply? And what are we going to do about it? We're not just to be hearers of God's word. We're to be doers of the same. And if we believe that the gifts of the Spirit are relevant for today, and if we believe that someone who is moving under the inspiration of the Spirit of God speaks a word, and that word is proven to be the word of the Lord, then we must listen to it.

We must observe what it's saying and realize the implication of it, either for an individual, sometimes God will speak to an individual, sometimes he will speak to a company of people. Sometimes he will speak and it won't be just addressed to one person, it may be addressed to others.

But we have to know. We have to discern. We have to decide before God whether that is God speaking. Of course, the ultimate proof that God spoke is that what he speaks will happen. That's the greatest proof of a true prophet, that what he prophesies happens.

Of course, some prophets in the Old Testament never lived to see the day of the fulfilment, but that didn't invalidate what they had said. They spoke way beyond anything that they understood up here. The things which Isaiah spoke when he said the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he had anointed me.

That was true in relationships himself. It was applied to him at that time. Little did he realize the full implication of that that there would come a day when the man would stand on the earth and would say the Spirit of the Lord is upon me and when he sat down he said, this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ear.

That was the confirmation that Isaiah was a true prophet. Bless God. But the context of the church where the company of God's people meet together, where the family of God, we acknowledge the sovereignty and lordship of Jesus Christ over our lives and we're given unto him when we function in the gifts, particularly the oral gifts of the Spirit, we can discern.

There are people in every congregation at different levels. In a meeting like this you could have a prophecy that sounds all right. Do you know some prophecies are an accumulation of information that people have gathered and then it comes out as a prophetic word with great authority putting someone right in the congregation or in the church.

That happens. Not because the person is malicious but because they think that that's how it's done. Other people move from the purely soulish point of view but those who are living in the Spirit, who are right with God, who have that faculty to discern what is of God and what is not of God, they will know.

So you don't get carried away. So that's the second context in which it functions most gloriously. And of course the other context, beloved, is the context of love and that's why chapter 13 comes so beautifully placed between chapter 12 and chapter 14 where Paul is talking about the gifts of the Spirit.

Love as the Safeguard and Motive of Spiritual Gifts

In chapter 14 he talks more about the gift of tongues which I'm going to go on to in a moment. But you've got this wonderful chapter. It's not chapter 13 versus chapter 12 or chapter 14. It's both. Because if the underlying motive of someone functioning in the Spirit isn't their love for God and their love for their brothers and sisters, beloved, it can be lethal.

I was once in a situation where as a person who had, whom we assumed at that time, had a tremendous gift, but I always had a problem with it. It always seemed so hard. The person who was being ministered to and it was in that sort of context where this person had claimed to have great gift of discernment, in fact it turned out that it was clairvoyance rather than a gift of discerning of spirits.

But every time it operated, it was like a scorpion had a sting in the tail and everything in me reacted. Sorry, that reacted too. Reacted. Again, I was young in the Lord and in the things of the Spirit and I thought it was me.

I was the wrong one. Now I am by nature an introvert, melancholic, inward-looking, self-condemnatory, periodical, but you name it. I often say I am the classical case. Amen, but God. So I thought it was me.

It was my problem. And I dug around inside until I almost came to the end of myself. In fact, I ended up being ill in bed for over three months. Now I don't bear any resentment about that. I have no resentment towards the person who was instrumental because I saw that God was using it for my good.

See, the devil has to work for your good. Certainly not a prophet. He's not moving in the Spirit, but he's still got to work for you. And those three months brought me to a place of conviction, of assurance, of settlements in my life that has never wavered since.

But it was devastating. It was only later on that the whole thing was exposed as being something other than the Spirit of God. That can be a very painful experience. But again, if you don't let your heart become bitter and resentful, if you seek to put your life in the hands of God, but even the devil can't harm you.

He might batter you, he might tempt you, he might trouble you in your mind, but he cannot get into that sanctuary of your being called Spirit, where the Holy Spirit of God has come to live. That's made very clear in the sixth chapter of the second epistle of the Corinthians where he talked about light and darkness, Christ and Belial, sin and righteousness.

He said they don't go together. They can't live in the same place. A person who is truly born of the Spirit of God and full of the Holy Ghost, yielded to Him, beloved, cannot be possessed of the devil.

Cannot! He can be troubled. He can be tormented. He can be tempted. Jesus was tempted in all things such as we are, but He did not sin. Temptation is not sin. And Paul says to us that no temptation has touched us, but as such as it is common to man, and he has made a way of escape.

Glory be to God! Temptation doesn't mean inevitable sin, beloved. It's a way in which we are persuaded to look unto Him again and again. Where the love of God, beloved, has been shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost, undergirding the outworking of it in our lives.

Again, it's lovely. Sometimes it's firm. As I've already pointed out, love can be very firm. The Lord chastens those whom He loves and sometimes He will speak a word to us not to condemn us. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

If a word of God comes and it's really the word of the Spirit, beloved, if it's a disciplinary word, it will not condemn you. It will provoke you to higher heights and broader widths and deeper depths.

It will. But if it's the enemy, it will heap condemnation on you and crush you. So there are the three contexts in which the gifts of the Spirit normally operate. Under the authority and lordship of Jesus Christ enthroned in our hearts by the Spirit.

In the context of the gathered company of God's people who had been baptised by the Spirit into the body of Christ. And in the context of the love of God shed abroad in our heart, actively expressing itself through our lives and in this particular context through the gifts of the Spirit.

Edification as the Governing Purpose of Spiritual Gifts

And the third thing that we discover and it's a repetitive phrase, particularly in the 14th chapter, that everything is to be done unto edifying. You'll see it in verse 5. I would that you all speak in tongues but rather that you prophesy for greater is he that prophesieth and he that speaketh with a tongue except he interpret that the church may receive edifying.

You'll see it again in verse 12. Even so, for as much as you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that you may excel to the edifying of the church. You'll find it again in verse 26. How is it then brethren when you come together, every one of you, hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation, let all things be done unto edifying.
