Mystery of Tongues

This is a revelation God shared with me, an idea of how tongues operate…

The enemy has been around thousands of years and so he must have studied & seen civilizations come and go, or flourish and collapse. He witnessed the tower of Babel, and I think started his journey of becoming a linguist.

From that point in time, languages didn’t stop emerging. We’ve had Arabs and East African coastals come up with Swahili in the past 250 years. Even then, I believe he was there, to learn.

But this is the mystery of tongues: On top of them not being understood at all by the enemy as I’ve spoken elsewhere, there is a coding that could help us understand how tiresome and dangerous they are to him.

Tongues change per minute and second, and each word seems to be in a very different language from the other. If one is a linguistic, like the enemy, it’ll still take a lot of time to decode and by the time a hidden message is deciphered, it’d be too late.

Let me give an example; C’est una hermosa omuwala qui vivit ninu Rwanda.

The statement says ‘this is a beautiful girl who stays in Rwanda,’ but, it starts in French, speeds to Spanish, takes a detour to Luganda, zooms to Latin, skates to Yoruba and lands in Rwanda. Because the internet is available, one can figure this all out in a minute. But imagine the times of Paul, before Luganda was a language.

If you said that statement in tongues, the devil would not decipher that ‘omuwala’ is a girl. It’s one thing for the devil to be linguistic, but it’s another challenge if the man made little lower than an angel speaks a language that has not come to the knowledge of the earth, which an angel seems to be in a position to know, and yet this fallen one does not.

This is mainly because the Spirit of God Himself dwells in a man to enable him speak even things not yet known to the earthly realm which won’t be known until a specific time in the future.

But this Spirit knows all things which are to come. And the enemy doesn’t have Him, thus the knowledge gap! What if those who pray in tongues are praying in a language that hasn’t been invented yet. If we were living in the 1200s, trust me some languages hadn’t come to be. If we prayed in tongues, that would have been a big question for the enemy even if he knew many languages.

This later reveals that he might not be as dangerous as we’ve always thought he is. The many ‘future language gaps’, will lead to difficulty in all his interception attempts. This keeps the speaker of this language ahead. For even if the speaker doesn’t know every word he or she is saying, the conversation continues in heaven, as the Spirit declares things and intercedes for the speaker in forms the enemy wouldn’t ever understand, and in so doing, like when nations are fighting, he can’t decode what his ‘antagonist’ is saying. And before he knows it, a missile has landed in his territory.

It’s more like the world war. If Germen needed to know what the French were plotting, they needed to understand what the French were saying. If not, they’d then just continue misfiring during the war. I’m sure either side had a linguist to help decode the secret messages…

If the devil tries to record a piece of a prayer in tongues, he has a lot of homework to find out what each individual word means. If the prayer was 5000 words, he has to run through 5000 languages, including hieroglyphs to be able to bring the puzzle together.

By the time he’d have got a means of action to derail the prayer result, it’d be too late for him. He wasn’t late for Daniel though. He delayed him for 21 days, possibly because Daniel prayed in one language that the enemy could have known. In so doing, the prince of Persia he sent to delay the return fax … which can’t be the case for anyone praying with tongues.

Even if the devil intercepted it in today’s era where we don’t need to wait through an atmosphere of principalities (since we are seated in heavenly places with Him), it’d be a small sheet of gibberish. Even if he tried to decode it, God in His infinite wisdom can decide that every word changes to a different language of that same word and yet still preserve that same message.

For example; my earlier statement could change to: Eyi ni manēāharaṁ κοπέλα abeera mein Rwanda.

This still says ‘This is a beautiful girl who stays in Rwanda’, but it began in Yoruba, went to Malay, tipped off into Greek, came to Luganda, traveled to Hindi and ended up back in Rwanda.

God can as well choose to give in that time, a language that only He understands, leaving the enemy very grumpy and irritated such that he has nothing to do but leave!

I pray this sharing has broadened your eyesight to yearn for this gift, and dump every other conspiracy that has been raised against it, enabling you to embrace its complexity and algorithm, to enable you have a much better prayer life that can’t be decrypted by the enemy.
