Susy Smith wrote: “Don Basham tells in his book, Handbook on Tongues: Interpretation & Prophecy, of a man he knew was the speaker at a Christian meeting: ‘At one point he stopped his message and began speaking in tongues. This was immediately followed by an interpretation of the tongue by someone in the audience. Then the man resumed his message. After the service, a Frenchman came up to the speaker and told him that the message in tongues was in the French language and that the interpretation that followed had been a perfect translation in English of what had been spoken in French. But neither the speaker nor interpreter knew any French.'” It should be noted that these miracles tend to occur in an atmosphere of expectation where, in some settings, they may even be commonplace. Certainly, they have tremendous persuasive value for both the faithful and curious newcomers. But outside the doors of these churches, they don’t get much airplay. And most who experience these moments are likely hesitant to talk about them for fear of appearing silly. Given the fundamental and dogmatic leanings of most of these churches, it seems like these miracles are not being targeted for greatest effect. In fact, they appear to reinforce the insular cul-de-sac nature of these churches as be-all and end-all establishments when, in fact, in some ways, they might be contributing to an ultimate disempowerment of humanity at the same time they fill a void for the individuals involved. Do they, in effect, keep people stuck circling the airport in a holding pattern? What is Creator’s perspective?
