This commentary is based upon the book titled Kingdom Principles by Myles Monroe.  In the text, he mentions “A second key component of every country is language.  A country is not a country unless it has ONE major language” (pg. 189).

During my Sunday prayer and meditation, I was enlightened by my current state of affairs and as I listened with purpose I begin to focus on the language of the Kingdom of God because the language [how I speak, my dialect] will identify which Kingdom [country of citizenship] I belong to.  The language of God is ONE speech.  Genesis 11:1 (KJV) says, “And the WHOLE earth was of ONE language and of ONE speech.”  Citizens of the Kingdom of God must have ONE sound, ONE language/dialect, ONE speech and it MUST sound like the King of all creation – God. 

In Genesis 11, the people of the land said LET US make brick; LET US build US a city and a tower; LET US make US a name.  They were speaking the language of God that was spoken “in the beginning” in Genesis 1, i.e. AND God said LET THERE, LET THE, and LET US make man in OUR image.  This image [the people] of God in Genesis 11 spoke like Father Elohim [our creator] and they too said LET US do this and that…whatever things that they decided to do.  However, God saw that the image He created was now IMAGINING themselves to become inhabitants outside of Him, i.e. LET US make US and LET US reach heaven!  The language of God is UNITY in Him, not unity in US without Him.  Selah.

His language is POWER and has life.  Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue [the language, the speech]; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”  The language of God IS NOT a cliché [a word, a tongue, a language, a speech that has lost its power from overuse].  His language is not established in and from the world’s system; the world’s way of saying, doing; nor is it a man’s opinion.  A man’s opinion that is not the Word [the language] of God is equal death.  Selah!

However, when you are IN [within, inside of] the Kingdom of God there is no death because God is life.  Therefore, the citizens of God’s Kingdom must speak the language of life that is IN [within, inside of] God.  Any Word [speech, language] that is outside of and independent of God is death.  When this Kingdom language is engrafted [permanently attached] to and is spoken by the Kingdom citizens, THEN, and only then, will we experience the “ask in My name [or ask in My language, talk like I talk and I will understand my language] and I will answer you with My Word [my language].  John 15:7 (KJV) says, “If ye abide in me, AND my WORDS [my speech, my language, my dialect, how I speak and what I say] abide in you, ye shall ask what ye WILL [what you desire, want, and need], and it shall be done unto you.”

Why shall it be done?  Because I [Father Elohim] always respond to Myself, My Word, My tongue, My speech – I understand Myself saith the ADONAI!  Selah!  It is declared in Isaiah 55:11 (KJV), “So shall My Word [My tongue, My language, My speech, My sayings] be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it SHALL PROSPER [bring life and not death] in the thing whereto I sent it.” 

You will know if a person is of your culture, your citizenship, known as The Kingdom of God, because His spirit [His Word, language] in you will identify with itself [His Word, language] in another.  Too often we have heard an anomalous sound [an abnormal, uncharacteristic word that is not the language of the Adonai…it is a strange babel] from “A” kingdom that has established itself within “THE” Kingdom [the Body of Christ] of God. 

This anomalous sound can be heard from the hurting lay members, the unlearned leaders, the lying prophets, the whoring bishops, the trifling deacons, the incompetent competent musicians, and foolish mothers, and it draws the citizens of The Kingdom of God to division because many who have heard also listened and obeyed the abnormal language [sound].  They never studied the LANGUAGE of God to know His tongue and His sound.  The scripture declares in Numbers 23:19-20 (KJV) that, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?  Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.”  If God’s language doesn’t consist of incompetence, lying, affliction, and manipulation, then the citizens of His Kingdom should not embrace strange sounds and an erroneous dialect.

This anomalous sound and erroneous dialect [language] according to 1 Corinthians 13:1 (KJV) is such, “Though I speak [have a language of and] with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”  In other words, the speech is full of NOISE and no POWER.  Remember, the language, speech, of God is POWER.  Selah! 

Due to this NOISE, the body of Christ is spiritually scattered, such as in Genesis 11:9, “…and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth” i.e. denominational wars and separation of the church [which are the people] and the government.  In fact, The Kingdom of God is the government; it is the leading authority that has POWER – remembering that the language and speech of God is POWER!  Some of us, sadly stated, have separated ourselves from the King, from His Kingdom, His Country, His Laws, His Land, His Principles, and His Language by also embracing the language [opinions] of man. 

Being that we’ve decided to be part of God’s Kingdom, we MUST speak [preach, teach, prophesy, sing, give music to] His ONE Language and we shall then behold the “AND God [I] said, AND God [I] saw, AND it was [is] GOOD [well, valuable, delightful, beautiful, EXCELLENT]! 

Shalom!
