An Inspired Ancient Book

In 1995 I sought a church where the Holy Spirit was manifested with gifts of the Spirit. A local church and government leader told me to come with him to a church where I would certainly witness this. A man there spoke a message in tongues that sounded angelic and each sentence became English in my head. "Consider the trees how they put forth buds and leaves - they do this by the authority of the name of Lord Jesus Christ" was what I heard. Then the speaker himself said those very words in English. A little later I was in a bookshop and came across the Book of Enoch. I opened it and read:  [Enoch 5:1-4] "Observe how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear fruit: wherefore give heed and know with regard to all His works, and recognize how He that liveth for ever hath made them so. And all His works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks which they accomplish for Him, and their tasks change not, but according as God hath ordained so is it done. And behold how the sea and the rivers in like manner accomplish and change not their tasks from His commandments. But ye -- ye have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the Lord, But ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words With your impure mouths against His greatness. Oh, ye hard-hearted, ye shall find no peace." It was clear this book had the same inspirer who inspired the interpretation of tongues earlier - the Holy Spirit.
