[The Glory Unveiled]
The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. ( Genesis 11:6 )
The statement above was made by the Almighty. And here’s a little background to the verse of scripture above: the people of the world had come together to build a Tower that reaches to the heavens. Before long, their plan was making significant progress and it was evident that in no time they would succeed in their plan. The emphasis that gave them success was not the fact that they were hardworking, it was rather because they spoke the same language. The unity of language gave them unity of purpose as well. There is something about speaking the same language that is so powerful. So whenever the Spirit of God gives us utterance into the language of heaven, tremendous power is made available through the language. Just as God said nothing would be impossible to the people of old because of the unity of their language, speaking the language of the Spirit gives us a platform for possibilities. In the first verse of the chapter, the people are described as having the same language and speech. And then in the next verse after our focal verse [verse 7], the Lord says [the only way] to stop these people from succeeding is to confuse their language so that they would not understand each other. But why not make them sick or weak or something else? Why touch their language? What has language got to do with building a tower? Language has everything to do with every spiritual thing and every physical thing has a spiritual dimension. So language has everything to do with everything physical as a result. As believers we have a language [tongues] that confuses the kingdom of darkness. This language makes power available to us. In the comfort of this language all things are possible. Let us subscribe to this language by the anointing of the Holy Spirit and engage it for victory on every side.
Prayer_Bead: King of Kings and Lord of Lords, thank you for the gift of the language of the spirit. As I engage it, make tremendous power available for me.
