I think I need to fill my life with activity. I attended a pentecostal church today, where they practise prophecy. God spoke to the congregation through one of the prophets and said that we need to fill our lives with activity.
The service also included people speaking in tongues, (three, actually - following 1 Corinthians 14:27) and one of the speeches ended with the phrase "share luka see" spoken three times. I eagerly awaited the interpretation so I could find out the meaning of this phrase, but it didn't actually show up in the translation.
I'm wondering why this is the case. It could be that the interpreter was paraphrasing. (Indeed, the interpretations were all a lot longer than the speeches themselves.) Or it could be that there were subtle differences between the way the words were pronounced - and that whereas I thought the same phrase was being repeated, totally different things were being said. The third alternative doesn't bear thinking about - namely, that the interpreter was just making it up.
So does anyone know what "share luka see" means? Or did I mis-hear the phrase? Or is meaning totally dependent on context? Perhaps a certain level of spiritual discernment is required here - just as someone who does not speak Xhosa will not be alert to all of its subtle variations, so someone who does not speak in tongues will not be able to actually analyse the language.
If anyone knows, please tell me. In the meantime, I'll just fill my life with activity.
