THE LANGUAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Transcription

1 THE LANGUAGE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD By: Fountain Hendricks (Matthew 21:18-22) English is not the dominant language in the Kingdom of God. Spanish is not the dominant language in the Kingdom of God. King Jesus ONLY understands and speaks one language. The dominant language in the Kingdom of God is FAITH. Faith is the only language that Jesus will honor and respond to. Faith transcends cultures, ethnicities and nationalities. When you learn the FAITH LANGUAGE, communicating with the Holy Spirit will be very simple. The faith language has nothing to do with what you say. It has everything to do with WHAT YOU BELIEVE. The faith language is not about speaking positive words. It is not about being optimistic. It is not about thinking good thoughts.

2 THE FAITH LANGUAGE IS ABOUT BELIEVING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING Everybody talks. A lot of people say positive words. However, very few people BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY. People who do not believe what they say are either LIARS or DOUBTERS. King Jesus hates liars and doubters because they do not reflect the culture of His Kingdom. Proverbs 12:22 says, The Lord hates those who tell lies but is pleased with those who keep their promises. James 1:6-8 says, But when you ask God, you must believe and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown up and down by the wind. Such doubters are thinking two different things at the same time, and they cannot decide about anything they do. They should not think they will receive anything from the Lord. When a person learns how to speak the faith language everything they say will manifest. This specific type of language is like none other. Learning how to speak the faith language will empower you to revitalize what is dead; to restore what has been

3 abandoned; to bless what has been cursed and to prosper what has been impoverished. THE POWER OF THE FAITH LANGUAGE Matthew 21:18-22 In the scripture, Jesus saw a fig tree beside the road. He noticed that there were no figs on the tree, only leaves. Jesus SAID to the tree You will never again have fruit. The tree immediately dried up. Jesus showed us the power of the faith language in this scripture. He said a profound statement in verse 21. The scripture says, If you have faith and do not doubt you will be able to do what I did to this tree and even more. The question you must ask yourself is this, what did Jesus do? HE MANIFESTED A REALITY THAT HAD NOT YET EXISTED Remember, when Jesus saw the fig tree it only had leaves but when He SPOKE to the tree it dried up. When you believe what you say you will produce a new

4 reality for yourself. In order to master the faith language you must stop relying on your intellect to lead you. Intellectual people will have the hardest time mastering this language because they see things through the perspective of logic, NOT faith. These people see what is practical, not what is possible. In order to master the faith language you must have the ABILITY to see the impossible, to believe the unbelievable and trust the untraceable. When you master the ability to do these things, you have learned how to speak the language of faith. THE KINGDOM OF GOD SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE OF FAITH, NOT LOGIC THE PROOF OF BELIEF Faith language is based on believing what you say. However, the PROOF of belief is shown in what you DO. James 2:26 says, For as the body without the spirit is dead,

5 so faith without works is dead also. When a person believes what they are saying they will FOLLOW their belief with ACTION. Saying what you believe in a emphatic tone does not mean you believe what you say. Repeating your thoughts to another individual does not mean you believe what you are saying. THE PROOF OF BELIEF IS SHOWN IN YOUR ACTIONS. Matthew 21:22 says, IF YOU BELIEVE, you will get anything you ask for in prayer. The scripture says, IF you believe, which gives us the responsibility to choose. This choice to put action behind your words is the determining factor for you receiving what you ask for in prayer. The word believe is an ACTION word. In order for the faith language to be activated you must follow the instructions of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit responds to faith. He does not react to doubt, fear, lies and deception. When the Holy Spirit hears the language of faith He will immediately give you an instruction to follow. The purpose of this instruction is

6 to PROVE YOUR FAITH. The Holy Spirit will honor what you ask Him. However, He will only MANIFEST what you BELIEVE. Too many people are saying words of faith, while NOT following the Holy Spirit s instructions. The people in the Bible who mastered the faith language understood how to speak words of faith while following divine instructions which enabled them to reap bountiful blessings. WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND AND MASTER THE LANGUAGE OF FAITH GOD WILL NEVER STOP TALKING TO YOU. FOR MORE WISDOM GO TO
