Walking with God
these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

5. Concerning Spiritual Gifts.,
brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
For to one is given by the Spirit, prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
prophecy:
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
The gifts where we speak; Lord help me are the scariest gifts to work. Perhaps it is a lack of faith on my part. I love to preach the Word of God, share the promises o f God but jump out there to say thus says the Lord; interpret tongues.
I just don’t think the Spirit has annointed me in this area. I am more than confident to proclaim the truth of His written word but the other is a limb that scares me.
