BEYOND HUMAN LANGUAGE
Among the many marvelous gifts that God gave us as humans is the ability to communicate with each other. A common language is the main thing that bonds people into a community or nation. When we lose our ability to understand each other's speech, we lose that thing that makes us one.
The most outstanding example is the story of the tower of babel. The people endeavored to go into a spiritual realm where they were not invited.
God could've stopped them in many ways, but he chose the one that broke them into small groups. He confused their language so that they couldn't communicate together.
The apostle Paul talks about the tongue of men and Angels, which indicates that there is a different language for men and a different language for Angels.
Paul also speaks of that in second Corinthians 12:4, where he talks about "a person that was caught up into paradise; the third heaven. There he heard words that could not be articulated in human language, and he understood a conversation that did not originate in human thought."
So how do we achieve and understand a language beyond ourselves? Again Paul refers to a heavenly speech given to us by the Holy Spirit.
It's commonly referred to as speaking in other tongues.
It is a language beyond humans.
In the book of acts, in the second chapter, we see the day of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit invaded the upper room and filled each one there with the power of heaven. It was there that heavenly language was released so that we could communicate to the spiritual world about spiritual things.
First Corinthians 12 reveals that we speak to God when we use that heavenly language and when we do, we speak mysteries.
But it doesn't stop there. He explains that we have a gift from God called the interpretation of tongues. Now, how great is that?

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
When you say to the Lord, give me, give me, you're really saying I don't believe you. Because he has already said I am giving you all things richly to enjoy; you have it already.
Hold everything, preacher; what about prayer? How can I pray to God if I'm not asking him for something?
That is a general thought among many Christian communities that prayer is only for asking for things. Many in the body of Christ come into the prayer closet with a list of requests, and after they deliver that request, they usually leave the closet. Then they wait to see if their faith is strong enough to convince heaven that they really need the things they asked for.
When we understand that he has given us all things richly to enjoy, prayer becomes a relational fellowship with our heavenly father.
If you know how big business and entertainment work, most deals are done on the golf course or at the club party. Relationships are cemented in that environment, and deals are made out of that.
Why would it be any different in the spiritual world with our heavenly father? After all, the scriptures tell us that if we draw nigh to God, he will draw nigh to us.
That sounds to me like a relationship that is building a bond between two people. We know God loves us but do we love his company and friendship enough to hang out with him in the quiet places of prayer?
In the intimacy of the prayer closet in the quiet times of meditation, our father begins to speak to us about the mysteries of heaven. As that conversation continues, the things that we had planned and asked for begin to come our way because our father knows all of our desires.
He has provided all things for you that you may receive them with lavish Joy. Your position is one of receiving what he has provided. The sign of an open heart is the sound of worship and praise, thanking him in advance for what he is giving.

CASTING YOUR CARES ON JESUS= PEACE
I find it hard to understand why I have to encourage those who believe in Jesus to cast their care on him. It seems that your faith in the saving power of Jesus would also translate into the keeping power of Jesus. So I wonder why?
Just about the time I'm wondering, I suddenly notice that I have picked up something that feels like care or a worry. How did that happen? After all, I'm an elder in the kingdom of God with years of experience of trust in Jesus. Yet I discovered that I'm carrying anxiety or care troubling me.
It's them that I remember we have those things that resist us in the area of our soul. I'm quick to remember that the devil is not my only opposer; I also have a mind that needs to reflect the mind of Christ.
I'm also reminded that Paul said he died daily to certain things in his walk with the Lord. Those things that Paul died two are the gateways for care and anxiety to enter into our minds and our emotions.
So the question you ask is this; do I have to bury my head in the sand and be cut off from the world around me not to have anxiety and care?
Jesus answered that when he said you are in the world, don't be a part of the world. For you and I that have opened our Spirit to Jesus Christ, we have been given a filter, and if we keep that in place, it will filter out the things from the world that would cause us anxiety.
For instance, when you hear a news report full of doom and fear concerning the future of our nation. Or you hear a description of the latest prediction of a new disease that just came out. If the filter of the word of God is secure in your soul, you will not panic; you will not have fear and anxiety, but faith will arise in your Spirit.
So today, as I detected the invasion of my world with anxiety, I readjusted the filter that God has given me and visited all the corners of my spiritual domain to examine my faith in the unmovable word of God.

IT'S THE LITTLE SHIPS WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR
I never had an older brother, and I was the youngest in the family, so my sense of responsibility didn't come to me naturally. I learned it the hard way by the hand of authority—i.e., mom and dad.
Human nature tends to be self-centered; that's why we currently have the "me generation" that we're dealing with. Those that have been alive for the last 30 or 40 years in America have not suffered the same as the generation that lived before them. Of course, I know individuals who have been through severe difficulties.
Trials and difficulties seem to bring something out of our inner character that, in the long run, shapes us into better people. The old saying goes, "it'll either make you or break you." Even Jesus told us that we would have problems and trials in life. I'm sure this is why the Apostle John said to us that we should rejoice when trials come our way because it builds us into the people God called us to be with good character.
And people of good character always look out for the little guy, the one they're responsible for. The father, who gets up early every morning and works all day, goes to bed tired just so his children can have a better life.
The single mother who raises her children on two jobs believes their lives will be improved someday.
These people have been in the storm, and yet we're conscious of the little ships in their life that also needed to be rescued.
Just like the example that Jesus gave us when he calmed the storm. The scripture says that there were also other little ships with him. If Jesus had gone down, all those little ships would've sunk.
Our faith and faithfulness to what God has called us to be as important to someone close around us where God planted us to prosper.
Be faithful to your call, and you will have a great reward.

I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU- THE VOICE YOU TRUST
Have you ever heard the one about the guy that was walking a mountain road and went over the side? On the way over, he grabbed hold of a small tree and was hanging on for dear life.
Help, help, He cried. Can anybody hear me? Help.
Suddenly there was a voice above him that said, "son, I've got you; just let go of the branch."
He was shocked when he heard the voice and hollered back, who is this?
The voice came back, "this is God, son; trust me, just let go of the branch."
The guy hollers back. Is there anybody else up there?
It's a silly story, but it makes the point about trusting the voices we hear.
Jesus said my sheep know my voice and a stranger, they will not follow.
Christianity is really a life of relationship with the God of creation. For many, the word father does not relate to a relationship; it relates to authority and sometimes fear.
Our heavenly father intends us to know his voice because we walk with him in close fellowship not just once or even once in a while but continually.
That's why we know his voice.
As a kid, I remember sticking my face in the closet among my dad's suits and taking a deep breath. Just the center of his aftershave on those suits gave me security.
How did I know that the scent I smelled was my father's?
It's because we lived in close contact all my young life. He was always there when I needed him. Both for reward and correction, I could depend that he wasn't very far away.
My passion in life is to encourage you to find that intimacy with the father so that you, too, will know his aftershave and his voice.

TRAPPED NO LONGER- FREE TO BE ME
When I was a boy of about five, dad started a church in a small Northwest town filled with lumberjacks. We rented an old house on a hill overlooking the Valley with a large field behind it and a small barn tucked next to the house.
Grandpa Watkins from California came by and stayed with us for a while. One day he took me into the back by the barn; he said I want to show you how to trap birds.
So we collected an old wooden box, some string, and a short stick. Then we went to the kitchen and found some dried bread to make breadcrumbs. Grandpa then took me out by the barn again, where we set the box upside down, propped up by the stick with the string tied around the stick.
Then we put the bate out; the dried breadcrumbs.
Then Grandpa said, "George, you've got to be patient now, so we wait for the birds to begin to eat the crumbs. When they get under the box, we will pull the string, and they will be trapped."
I still remember sitting with Grandpa, hoping a bird would come by so I could trap it under my box. We eventually caught one and just as quickly let it go.
I think mother may have called dinner, so he went into the house.
The Scriptures tell us in second Timothy 2:26 that it's possible to be in a position to be trapped by the Devil, and it tells us that if we come to our senses, we can escape the traps the Devil may be laid out for us.
Psalms 91: 3 declares that God will save us from the trap of the fowler.
Psalms 124:7 also reminds us that the trap has been broken, and we have escaped.
Now here's the test question.
Who made it possible that we could escape, and how did he do it?
Of course, the glorious answer is that Jesus died for us, rose from the dead, and we rose with him, ascended to the father, and presented his blood to deliver us from the enemy's bondage.
It doesn't get any better than that.

CLEAN BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS
It's no wonder that the society around the first Christians thought they were cannibals eating the flesh and drinking the blood of someone.
Words and language communicate an image in the minds of those who hear them. They were talking "God talk" among themselves when they referred to drinking his blood and eating his flesh. For the same reason that the early society took offense, the one we live in today does the same.
There is no way an unregenerated mind can capture and understand the power and purpose of the blood of Jesus Christ. Because of that, we have crafted our songs to proclaim the power in the blood and why we still need to drink his blood and eat his flesh today.
If you were to drink natural wine, you are taking into yourself the DNA of the grape.
Wine experts can tell you exactly where that group comes from, even to the detail of what Vineyard it came out of by the taste of that wine.
Paul declares in Second Corinthians that we should meet often and partake of the blood and the body of Jesus Christ through our communion service together. When we do that, we take in God's DNA, and everything that God is is contained in the blood before us.
As we take that cup of communion into our bodies, we are receiving the life of Christ. John 6:53 tells us, "except you eat his flesh and drink his blood, you have no life in you."
The simple truth I am sharing with you today is just seeds planted in your spirit so that you might ask the Holy Spirit for greater revelation on the power and the purpose of the blood of Jesus in your everyday life.
If you're a new believer, it would be good for you to get an older hymn book and find all the songs about the blood of Jesus.
"There is power in the blood" was always one of my favorites.
"There is power power wonderworking power in the precious blood of the lamb."
Another one that I love so well and sang it every communion that we took is
"Oh, the blood of Jesus that washes white as snow."

WHAT YOU ENJOY YOU WILL ATTRACT
When you enjoy God you glorify God. All of the Mystic realms of heaven start with joy. Psalms 37:4 delight yourself in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart and your petitions.
The way of drawing desires to you is through delight. Because what you enjoy you will attract.
God wants you to enjoy him.
The Victorian age of our history was a dark and gloomy period of time. Today we would call that straightlaced. From the clothes they wore to the attitudes they had toward life seem to be anything but full of joy and delight.
The Victorian age reflected the religious attitude that was generated by the preachers from the pulpit. They told them that God was mad half the time and was out to get them if they made a mistake or didn't keep the rules.
A bed rock sign of a religious system always produces an angry god that is looking for any excuse to break your leg.
Isn't it interesting that's a very name of God is love. He doesn't just love the world he is love itself. Yet the religious one sees a flexible god one who loves sometimes and hates sometimes.
Matthew 25:21 tells us there's a place called “the joy of the Lord” that we have been invited into. Have you ever wondered what that would be like to live in the “joy of the Lord” and have it affect your life in all of its facets?
We consider our self to be people of faith don't we? For the scriptures tell us that without faith it is impossible to please god. We have faith for provision and protection and direction.
Yeah I see another realm that may be something we've overlooked for strength and protection. It's something called” the joy of the Lord.”
Nehemiah 8:10 “the joy of the Lord is your strength and your strong hold.”
That place called “the joy of the Lord” is something we need to investigate.
How about it how are you in for it?

THE TROUBLE BUBBLE
"If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." We get a good laugh from the comedian who says that we go on our way, not giving much thought to the results of that confession.
Rodney Dangerfield was a famous comedian in the past years and made a good living by telling people he had no respect. Then he would entertain the vast audience by relating all of the bad luck that had come his way and the ones who rejected him.
A deep dive behind the scenes of people who continually broadcast this confession will usually reveal a lifestyle of problems and trouble.
Oddly enough, without understanding God's word or having the Holy Spirit's help, most of these never put two and two together.
They live in a trouble bubble.
The book of proverbs 20:7 tells us that as a person thinks in their heart, their actions will be. If we understand that verse, it motivates us to focus on the source of trouble or blessing. The word of God tells us it comes from the heart.
In the book of John 7:30, the center of us, our heart, is referred to as the belly.
"Jesus said he that believes on me as the scriptures have said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Here is the key to breaking the curse and popping the trouble bubble.
As you feed yourself upon the living word of God, it goes into your heart, and out of the heart, the mouth speaks and shapes your life and journey.
This is gods guaranteed way of breaking the trouble bubble in your life. Any other attempt at it will only bring more confusion and deceptive thinking.
The secret to success in life before and after salvation is believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we shall be Zozo. (saved, healed and delivered)
Then out of your spirit, man will flow the living water of heaven to heal the world around you.

CHILL OUT AND REMEMBER
In the early days of a ministry in Mount Vernon, before we built the Christian Center, we had our Church office in a rented house. One day, heading to my office, I passed the bedroom where my associate had his office, and I saw him with his feet up on his desk, leaning back with his eyes closed.
I thought, hey man, you could be doing something; what's up?
So, of course, I ask him, and his reply has stayed with me all these years.
Pastor, I'm just thinking.
As it turned out, that was one of his strong suits; he had a way of thinking about things that were an amazing tool as we formed our first years of ministry.
I never again ask him that question.
Thinking is a form of remembering when we chill out and take time to remember the promises of God that he is the source of all wisdom; that's when new revelation comes to us.
When king David meditated upon his bed, it was on the Lord and his greatness and faithfulness to him. That remembering always sets us up for Victory, and our faith is renewed because of his promises.
David said in Psalms 20:7, "some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God."
Why is it important to remember that?
Because it sets the perimeter of what can and cannot happen, when we remember the name of the Lord, we also remember the power and authority we have in that name. Because of that, we stand bold and strong against the lies and temptations of the evil one.
Because we remember who Jesus is and what he did for us, we are not tempted to doubt our ability and authority that we have because of the cross in the resurrection.
To not remember is deadly because it leaves us open to deception and the enemy's tricks.
When our mind is fixed on God and his promises, there is no room for doubt in our thinking and our believing.
