Dear Kenneth:
I have gone back and read some of my old posts and thought; there is no way I wrote that; and in reality I didn't; it is really the Lord speaking.
My father used to tell the story of the little boy saying his prayers at night and when the little boys father came into the room he heard the child saying ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP etc. The father thought the child was practicing his alphabet; however when asked the child said he was praying. The father, not understanding said ; son that is not praying it is only saying your alphabet.
The child responded, daddy , I couldn't decide what to say so Jesus will make the letters into words for me.
The Holy Spirit, likewise takes over for us all the time. I was meditating for a very long time one night and I thought; Lord, what on earth "good" is the "speaking of tongues"; it was like the Holy Spirit said to me, son, let me tell you a mystery.
You will never know how real my Word is when I said "whatever is bound on earth is bound in heaven and whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven". Therefore, while I have entrusted all things to my sons and daughters, I use the unknown tongue to bind and loose in the spirit realm. "Speaking in tongues", therefore is the voice of the Almighty Holy Spirit, actually speaking to Heaven from the Earth,( For is not the Holy Spirit loosed on the earth) through those that the Father has entrusted with this spiritual gift. ( no less or more special than any of the other gifts of the spirit ).
And where is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, in the temple of our earthy bodies the bodies of born again believers; so it is very rational that the Holy Spirit would NOW only speak through the bodies of earthly believers; rather than out of a burning bush or from a cloud,or behind a thick veil. In Christ.gregor |
