No. They should come one by one. See? One give…One speak, and then give the interpretation. See? And then if another speaks, the interpretation; ’cause if you don’t, the interpreter won’t know what he’s doing because there’s two or three messages here banging on him at once, you see, and that would be confusing to him. And God’s not an author of confusion, you see. So let one speak, and another interpret. See? And then…Give three messages, but let each message be interpreted.

Then we’ll have…Like if Brother Ruddell would speak and Brother Neville would give an interpretation, Brother Fred just hold his peace. See, get that interpretation. First, it’s to be judged first, to see if it’s of God or not, in the first place. See? And all right. Now, if Brother Ruddell speaks, Brother Beeler speaks, Brother Neville speaks, the poor interpreter has got three messages in line; what—what, where will he know what to do? See? Let him alone. Give the message and then hold your peace, just wait. Let something be revealed to the next one sitting by him; let him hold his peace, just sit still. See? And then let the interpretation come.

Then, when you do, write it down then, see what the discerners say. See? If they say, “Well, it’s—it’s of God.” All right, there’s a message, see, put it down. Then wait just a minute. And the first thing you know, well, then the Spirit moving on him, he’ll speak. Then the interpreter wait a minute, see what the Holy Spirit’s going to say. Here He comes forth for that message, you see. And then he’ll write that down, see. And let it be by courses of three.
