Rhapsody of Realities 19 September 2024: Our Language is Different
Scripture: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak (2 Corinthians 4:13).
When the Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, addressed the Christians at Corinth as being carnal, it was mostly because of their language. They talked like mere men and as a result, lived below their call. As a child of God, your communication must reflect the provisions of the Gospel and synchronize with the tenets and culture of our heavenly kingdom.
The carnal or ordinary man or woman speaks according to their senses. They speak fear and unbelief. But our language is different; we speak faith; we believe, and therefore we speak. What do we believe? We believe the Word and that’s what we speak. Glory to God! The Word of God is truth, and truth is reality. Therefore, every time you utter the Word concerning any situation, you’re speaking the reality about that situation.
For example, if you felt a headache, or a pain in your joints or any part of your body; don’t say, “I have a headache, or I have arthritis.” Instead, rebuke it and say, “I have the life of God in me; therefore, I’m forever healthy and strong. No sickness can thrive in my body, because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.”

When you say that, you’re speaking truth; you’re affirming what you have in Christ. Sickness, disease, infirmities, poverty, weakness and death aren’t part of what God has given unto you; so never voice them. 1 Corinthians 2:12-13: “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
We have received the Holy Spirit to help us know and understand what God has freely given to us; these are the same things you’re supposed to speak. So, what has God given you? He’s given you eternal life (1 John 5:11-12); He’s given you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and riddance (1 Corinthians 1:30). He’s given you ALL things that you require for life and for godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
These and more are the things you should speak. Every so often, boldly affirm who you are, what you have and what you can do in Christ. Speak the language of faith and power. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION: The Holy Spirit has trained my tongue to speak the language of the Kingdom. I speak words of faith, authority and power only; words that are consistent with the provisions of Christ in His Gospel and with the tenets and culture of our heavenly Kingdom. Amen.

1 Corinthians 3:1-3
However, brethren, I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as to nonspiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ [unable to talk yet!]
2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not yet strong enough [to be ready for it]; but even yet you are not strong enough [to be ready for it],
3 For you are still [unspiritual, having the nature] of the flesh [under the control of ordinary impulses]. For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?
Romans 8:6
Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].
1 Corinthians 2:12-13 NKJV
Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God.
13 And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit].
