DEVOTIONAL “CHOSEN 3”

Devotional

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (1 Corinthians 14:2 KJV)

The wisdom of God surpasses any level of intelligence. He demonstrated this truth at the cross. His love and His mercy for us was displayed in beatings, lashings, and crucifixion of His own Son. Foolishly, the devil watched as his deceptive scheme unfolded believing he had the upper hand; but what he didn’t know was that God had purposely allowed every crack of the whip, every blow of the fist, and every nail hammered in His flesh, to bring deliverance to His creation.

The believer that speaks in tongues has chosen to close his mind to his limited knowledge and trust that the Lord’s strategy needs no explanation, but execution. In the book of Acts, the Lord Jesus told the apostles to wait for the promise of being baptized by the Holy Ghost, (Acts 1:4,5). He further told them that they would receive power; which they did as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance. The tongues of fire were released, Peter boldly preached Jesus, and as a result, many were saved and received the same promise for themselves.

The human brain sends signals to the body to think and control the voluntary muscles. However, the creator bypasses that systematic process because He originated it. He demonstrated it with the people concerning the tower of Babel. Defiantly, their finite minds conjured up the idea to build a skyscraper that would reach into the heavens. Again, the Lord overrode those plans and confused their language.

Praying in tongues is an advantage the Lord has given to every believer. You release power, declarations, and wisdom in your favor, and it confuses the devil. The Holy Spirit speaks and reveals mysteries that even your reasoning cannot persuade you to doubt the words coming from your mouth. It is a heavenly language spoken out in faith, stimulated by the Holy Spirit whom eventually assumes full control. He propels you to a higher level of knowledge while igniting your confidence as you experience the supernatural. Our Lord, who is Supreme, has given you this weapon to cause you to see from the mountains. Allow Him to thrust you over the challenges you are facing by praying in tongues. You will be amazed at what happens in the secret chambers of the Most High. God bless you.

YOU ARE CHOSEN
