God of All Comfort

Language of the Spirit

by Pastor Roy Esposito

— Proverbs 3:5 — Trust in God, not our understanding

— Our minds are fine with God if they are sanctified.

— Micah 6:6-8 — to do the “right thing” takes thinking

— Sanctified — to set apart for God’s use

— Imaginations — Sanctified Imaginations are how we become proficient in the languages of the Spirit.

— Sanctified minds and imaginations (yielded to Him) are a “clean canvas” on which God is free to paint HIS IMPRESSIONS.

— Unsanctified minds — preoccupied with SELF – can’t utilize the benefits of being IN CHRIST.

— “In Christ” — not a religious state of being but a transformative and restorative state of being.

— “In Christ” – positions us at the “Door” of unlimited access to the power behind the mysteries of God.

— God’s language is not primarily ENGLISH or any other earthly language.

— God is Spirit — His language is Spiritual.

— Jesus is the WORD. It would follow that He would have something to say!

— Matthew 7:7 – “Seek–Ask– Knock” = “Find– Receive–DOOR opened”

— Hebrews 11:6 – reward for passion and diligence in seeking God

— Proverbs 8:17 — promise that He will be found.

— John 12:28-29— the Father speaks audibly but it was not understood as such:

— John 12:30 — Jesus addresses their UNBELIEF.

— Unbelief – causes hearts to not perceive His voice or make it chaotic and unintelligible.

— The Solution: Press Into God

1. By FAITH — Expect God to interact with you.

2. Anticipate God’s response through study of His Word and daily personal time in His presence.

3. Experience a deeper encounter with His LOVE.

— 1 Corinthians 13:7 – ”Love never fails!”

— Matthew 23:23 —The “weightier matters of the law.”
