It’s a well-known fact that it’s best to have command
of the language that’s spoken in a foreign land.
We get around better and enjoy our stay
when no language barrier hinders us on our way.
Just so, in our daily lives, God wants us to speak
the language of His Word so that we’ll not be weak.
It will keep us strong and able in this journey that we walk,
for it’s here on this earth that we need “faith talk.”
As Christians, we’re not conformed to this world’s speech,
but a higher language is what we practice and preach.
God’s “Kingdom language” helps us to move about
with confidence in Him on how a matter will turn out!

P. A. Oltrogge

Our prayer language, too, goes beyond our comprehension, touching situations and things that we may fail to mention. Thank you, Lord, for that heavenly understanding; and help us to be bold and circumstance-commanding!

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:1-3 KJV

“Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints….” Ephesians 6:10-18

“And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27
