A LANGUAGE OF MYSTERY

    

    1 Corinthians 14 is a well known scripture. It speaks mostly about the mysterious language spoken by the believers who have been baptised by The Spirit of God, commonly known as tongues. It is understood by many that the tongue is a personal language between a believer and God. It functions to give evidence of the baptism of The Holy Spirit hence, it is called the heavenly language. 

It is a gift given as was given on the Day of Pentecost Acts 2. Some people believe that the language is one's own language and that the believer hear's their own language. Some say the believer hears in their own language. Either way, without The Holy Spirit, it means nothing.

Tongues are a language that speak mysteries of the believer's heart and the mysteries of God. Verse 2 says, For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 

There are two other functions of the tongue; to intercede and to prophesy. This is where many people get distracted from what the text is saying. When there is prophecy there will be interpretation. When there is no prophecy then we are interceding, edifying and speaking mysteries unto revelation. Verse 3, The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.

Let me back track a little from verse 1. If you truly knew The Holy Spirit you would know He is LOVE. It says, Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. Seek The Holy Spirit, run after Him, be excited to have and use the spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.

The heavenly tongue is for the individual's edification. Recently I attended an event and the gathering spoke in tongues almost to the end. there are some churches that stifle The Holy Spirit by discouraging the tongues when they gather, but it is when we gather we are strengthened. The iron sharpens the iron. Before we can start anything we have to build ourselves and so the tongue should be encouraged at the very start since it is to edify and comfort.

Comfort is not a word to be overlooked. It is The Holy Spirit who is the Comforter. Therefore to give comfort, one has to be in alignment with Him. One has to put on comfort to be comforted. The best way to do this is to use your heavenly tongue. There is accuracy and insight in the tongue. With the world becoming more and more chaotic, we truly need the language of the spirit and The Holy Spirit.

I pray you are comforted by The Holy Spirit in Jesus name. 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be. Guide me in these times so I can be used by you to help others in Jesus name I pray. Thank you Father.
