Hearing What the Spirit is Saying unto the Church! In 1Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul lays out for the church an explanation of Spiritual Gifts. If you read the list, you will see that three of the gifts are vocal. Prophecy is words inspired by the Spirit in a known language. Tongues are words inspired by the Spirit in an unknown tongue. Interpretation of tongues is a Spirit given rendering of an unknown tongue. Below is an example of the gift of prophecy.
The following excerpt is taken from a prophecy that was given by Kenneth E. Hagin on July 8, 1989

There is a Glory yet to be revealed.
That’s yet to be manifest.
There’s a glory that’s yet to be revealed.
There’s a power that is yet to be in operation. Hallelujah.
We’ve seen a little speck of it here and a little speck of it there.
And [tongues] satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Satisfied to stay where you are.
Stir up yourself and be satisfied only with the dissatisfaction that has to be satisfied again and again.
Move on with Me, saith the Lord of hosts.
There’s a word that must be done.
There is a ministry that must be accomplished before the coming of the Son of Man.
True, the time of the end is at hand.
True, on the horizon of time, you see those things happening in the world.
Wars and rumors of wars.
And pestilence, and famines, and earthquakes in diver’s places.
Men’s hearts failing them for fear.
For looking after the things that are coming to pass upon the earth.
When you see these things begin to come to pass.
And certainly they have begun to come to pass.
Lift up your heads and rejoice.
For your redemption draweth nigh.
There’s a work, there’s a ministry that must be accomplished.
There’s an army that must ARISE!
Yea, I am preparing an army for these last days.
You have a part in that preparation.
There are leaders that I am preparing.
And He said unto me, “You must stand in the forefront to direct them and to lead them.”
And He’s saying unto you, “Will you be one?”
For there are not only officers in the army of the Lord.
But there are foot soldiers.
And every one is a soldier in the army of the Lord.
Hear ye, hear ye what the Spirit is saying unto the churches.
For these are the last days.
Blessed be Your holy Name.
