(Talk The Kingdom’s Language)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 2:12-13 AMPC
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
LET’S TALK
As Christians, we belong to a real spiritual kingdom: the kingdom of God’s love-Son. In that kingdom, we have our peculiar kingdom language.
We don’t just talk; we speak the wisdom of God: “However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing” (1 Corinthians 2:6).
Too many Christians don’t understand how to speak the kingdom language, because they’ve never been rightly and adequately taught, and as a result, they talk fear, and unbelief.
Some of them call it “reality.” “Let’s face reality,” they’d say, referring to the things that their senses can perceive. The only reality is God’s Word.
Don’t say you’re broke just because there’s no money in your pocket. Instead, affirm, “I’m supernaturally supplied, and all my needs are met; I have no consciousness of lack, because all things are mine!” That’s kingdom talk!
Somebody else might say, “But we have to say it as it is; if I feel stomach pain, why can’t I say I have stomach pain?” You can’t say, “I have stomach pain,” because pains don’t exist in our kingdom.
The things we speak are the things God has freely given to us, and sickness, disease, failure, lack, and death aren’t part of those things.
When you speak contrary to your divine nature and provisions in Christ, it’s an “illegal operation.” It’s like entering the wrong PIN code into a phone or computer system; it won’t work. Therefore, speak the wisdom of God always. Only affirm your glorious life in Christ.

Speak:
I speak the wisdom of God always, and the circumstances of life are subdued before me. I reason with the mind of Christ, and my outlook on life is from the perspective of the Word. I’m making unstoppable progress in life and ministry, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
