One Language
And the Lord said, Behold they are one people and they have all one language; today this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them. Genesis 11:6, AMP
I was on the treadmill running while listening to message when I heard the pastor read the verse above. It seemed after she spoke those words everything went silent in my mind and I begin to focus on those words. I was so focused that I had to jump off the treadmill and write down that scripture so I would not forget it. The speaker had said when we are in one with God speaking the same language there is nothing impossible for us to do in Him.
As I meditated on those words, it came to me that my husband and I make decisions all the time as to what we would like to do. It can be as simple as agreeing to take a trip San Diego. We agree on where we want to go to stay and what we will do when we get there. Because we are in agreement and we speak the same language, what we have decided happens. We see this practice consistently happening all over the world. Steve Jobs co-founded the technology giant Apple Inc. with Steve Wozniak. They were of one mind and worked together to build what looked and seemed impossible to others.
The scripture above is telling us that this is what man can do when they are of one mind. But for those who are believers in Jesus Christ and have the mind of Christ there is more than we could ever imagine waiting for us to do! Scripture says, “…what eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]” 1 Corinthians 2:9, AMP
We as believers have the mind of Christ 1Corinthians 2:16. We hold the thoughts, feelings and purposes of God’s heart. So why are so many believers not doing those things that God has prepared for them? It is because as Apostle Paul said to the Corinthian church, “I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as non spiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ [unable to talk yet]” 1 Corinthians 3:1, AMP. Many believers do not speak the same language as Christ and have reverted back to the flesh.
Apostle Paul goes onto say,”I fed you 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], 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 fractions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere unchanged) men?” 1 Corinthians 3:2-3, AMP
Although we have the mind of Christ and his Spirit lives within us, if we operate out of our fleshly behavior we cannot fulfill all that God has ordained for us. We have to stay in his word and do as God reminded Joshua when he was getting ready to lead Israel into the promised land. He said, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1, ESV
Father,
I give you glory and praise! I worship you! Thank you for allowing me to repent and seek your face. It is my desire to do all that you have ordained for me to do. Father I cannot fix myself, please help me to move from all these fleshy ways so that I can have the heart after you and speak the same language fulfilling all that you have ordained for me. In Jesus’ name amen.
