Do Not Forbid ...

Every Bible translation I have read says basically the same thing:

"DO NOT FORBID OR HINDER speaking in [unknown] TONGUES." 1 Corinthians 14:39

That seems fairly clear to me. How about you?

How can one build themselves up if they do not allow themselves to do what is required to accomplish the task. The book of Jude says,

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,". Jude 1:20

To me it is fairly obvious that we need the power of God more than ever before. These are days of gross darkness and it is only in the supernatural strength of Jesus Christ [The Anointed One] and His anointing that we will run the race, reach the mark, and win the crown promised the overcomer. [Jam 1:12; 1 Pet 5:4; Rev. 2:10; Rev. 3:11; ]

... Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6

Let this be a time of setting aside the traditions of men and the leaven of religious form without power. Let this be a time of seeking the Lord and of receiving ALL that He shed His blood and died to purchase for us.

Followers of Jesus, the Christ of God received a command from Him to receive this enduement of power:

And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. Acts 1:4
