Where God's Kingdom Meets Man's Heart.
The Three Languages of God
(For God does speak---now one way, now another---though man may not perceive it. Elihu in Job 33:14)
Before we take on the subject of God’s languages we need to go to the heart of language and that is its source. That source is God who created everything. The very fact of language is that it is originally a living message spoken by God to convey Himself. It is He who speaks in a way that makes sense out of everything we see and can’t see. When He speaks it is He alone who reveals the meaning and purpose behind all things. All human language is subsequent to His.
So questioning God is not something we do lightly. But the very fact that He has given us the Scripture means He has already spoken and spoken in a language so that we can understand Him. He has opened a door for us to approach Him with our mind, our heart and our soul. He has spoken. Probing His Word is to walk into His presence and hear Him speak. He wants us, He invites us, to do just that. Therefore we let His Word answer the questions of the mind, the yearnings of the heart and the thirst of the soul in the give and take of language.
Three immediate realities confront us as we open the pages of His language, Holy Scripture.
First, God is invisible. Genesis 1:1 tells us God was in the beginning and John 4:24 says God is spirit. So before there was a beginning God already was and He is spirit. The importance of that shows everything in physical existence has a spiritual origin. Behind the entire physical universe and all of its facets, from its tiniest cell to its overall galactic structure, space, distances, orbits, all is conceived and generated by the spiritual mind of the God. Everything visible and invisible comes out of the spiritual context of God.
Second, God is personal. Being personal is invisible. We may see a physical universe and ourselves as physical bodies within it but the idea of our identity as persons is an invisible reality as are all concepts. We are created in His image and in His likeness (Gen.1:26). His image is who He is personally and His nature is what He is like (e.g. 1Jn.4:8 God is love).
Third, God is interpersonal. Again being interpersonal is also invisible. He is a Father (Our Father…Matt.6:9), a Son (Jn.3:16) and a Holy Spirit (Jn.16:13-15), One in Three and Three in One. We are His intentionally created beings to be like Him personally and interpersonally reflecting His presence in the physical dimension.
When we look at language then it is the physical means by which we articulate and communicate the invisible in our two-dimensional visible and invisible existence. What can’t be seen runs the physical universe. What we have perceived as a set of structural laws behind universal order is invisible and established by the spiritually issuing intelligence of God.
Fourth, everything that is was created with spiritual meaning and purpose. The very fact of self-consciousness and its thinking process are invisible realities. A self-consciousness person therefore, questions, looking for answers within and without and the ability to communicate that search.
So just as we experience dialects in spoken language there are dialects in God’s language. There is a moral dialect, a spiritual dialect and a physical dialect that follows. God saw Creation as good, the Spirit moves the mind and heart, behavior follows. “He speaks my language.” “I can tell he thinks like me.” “We are on the same page.” “That speaks to my heart.” “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
First, His physical language.
Psalm 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard. [a]
4 Their voice [b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
Psalm 29
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
Sirion [b] like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes
with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks [c]
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
---the universe---mind in action---God the Father, the architect, the will of the Father. People are each a word from the mouth of God. He knew each of us before creation and each of us is personal to Him.
Second, His thinking language
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
Isaiah 40
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has understood the mind of the LORD,
or instructed him as his counselor?
14 Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge
or showed him the path of understanding?
---The Word, Scripture---principles and nature---God the Son---the Word made flesh---the contractor-manager. Each person has a mind made in the image of God’s mind.
Third, His spiritual language
12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
---heart attitude---personal interchange---The Holy Spirit---the labor force---the power. Each person has a soul, a spirit, to be able to sense God’s presence. The actual changes He makes in a person’s life, circumstances, physical conditions, jobs, meeting people. Translated by the HS. Prayer conveyor. Conveyor of God’s mind to man’s mind and man’s mind to God’s mind.
In Revelation all three languages are manifested.
To begin the process we need to approach it in terms of the languages man speaks. He also speaks in three languages. He speaks in thinking, attitudinal and physical languages.
Psalm 104
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul.
O LORD my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes winds his messengers,
flames of fire his servants.
5 He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7 But at your rebuke the waters fled,
at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains,
they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned for them.
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;
never again will they cover the earth.
10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines;
it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water to all the beasts of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the air nest by the waters;
they sing among the branches.
13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.
14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,
and plants for man to cultivate—
bringing forth food from the earth:
15 wine that gladdens the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart.
16 The trees of the LORD are well watered,
the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 There the birds make their nests;
the stork has its home in the pine trees.
18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;
the crags are a refuge for the coneys.
19 The moon marks off the seasons,
and the sun knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness, it becomes night,
and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.
23 Then man goes out to his work,
to his labor until evening.
24 How many are your works, O LORD!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.
26 There the ships go to and fro,
and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.
27 These all look to you
to give them their food at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.
29 When you hide your face,
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.
30 When you send your Spirit,
they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
may the LORD rejoice in his works-
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the LORD.
35 But may sinners vanish from the earth
and the wicked be no more.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Praise the LORD
Thinking---World view---the way a person sees the world, thinks about it and makes conclusions to live within it. Philosophy studies and raises the questions about the origin of everything, of human identity, purpose, meaning and significance, who am I, why am I here, where am I going, why am I going and how am I going to get there.
Sociology researches the development of cultures, their foundations and behaviors.
Then, of course, you have all the other learning disciplines from anthropology to zoology
All of these disciplines raise up the issues of the meaning of existence, the attempt to understand it, then defining personal internal processes and enabling stable external group behavior.
Attitudinal---when ideas are conveyed emotionally. Psychology and psychiatry specifically analyze human nature and look for the way to balance its imbalances.
Physical--- interior conclusions result in behavior. Body language. Interior thoughts drive creativity resulting in inventions and discoveries.
The source for our approach to the whole issue of God’s language is His revelation of Himself through the Bible. God has revealed everything He wants us to know about Himself. The Bible is not man’s conclusions, guesswork or speculation. It is God’s expression of Himself given in our language so that we can comprehend Him in thought, insight, attitude, emotion and spirit. While man has written it down it has been God stapling His being on the thought, attitude and spirit through man’s experience of himself, his world and his universe both interior and exterior through the medium of human language. What God is doing is conveying Himself in the Scripture in a way that allows us to apprehend Him in the uniqueness of our individuality. Each of us will have a completely singular experience of God that is ours alone. No one will experience Him exactly like anyone else. We may have similar experiences but the final assurance for each of us is that God makes Himself known to each of us in the way that best suits us according to His will and His love. That’s what makes our relationship with Him so personal. What God has given us in Scripture, the principles He has laid out, are the guidelines to insure that our personal experience of Him is complete, completing and completed. As Paul informed Timothy it follows for us that All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2Tim.3:16-17
The language of aloneness
Each person has a beginning and an end. Everyone is born alone in a body. The consciousness of being alone manifests itself in a baby’s first cry. Crying extends itself into a verbal format that becomes a kind of orderly crying in which a growing person is able to manipulate thought and put it into sounds that articulate what goes on inside.
All human language is the expression of aloneness, an attempt to cross that barrier surrounding self-consciousness. Every sound a human being makes is a cry of aloneness. Every attempt to communicate is a cry of aloneness. The whole process of socialization is a cry of aloneness. Education is a process of learning how to articulate our crying. We sophisticate our crying.
The tears of language fall from our questioning intellect, our unpredictable emotionality and our spiritual hunger. If there is a way to picture in words a final hell it is the awareness of how alone we really are, how we spent our lives crying for a solution to our aloneness and how we avoided its resolution (. All the disciplines of study, all the ‘-ologies’, are whimperings of the delusion that we are basically, intrinsically and ultimately able to secure ourselves from ourselves, that we can break the barrier and overcome our aloneness. For example, philosophy is the cry of our mind for meaning. Psychology is the cry of our emotionality for stability. Religion is the cry of our spirit for peace within. They are internal cries that can only be answered from without.
Mankind knows the longer and stronger the stubborn pursuit, no solution arrives unless something from outside informs us from within. That is the purpose of the Bible.
Perhaps the best description from a biblical perspective is the Book of Ecclesiastes, which sums up this condition in its very beginning, vs.2, Meaningless! Meaningless! says the Teacher. Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless. It seems the reason for this book being in the Bible is the frustrated author’s intense awareness of his aloneness and how he has tried every human avenue to overcome the impossible without God. He carried his infant cry to its highly developed inevitable conclusion. It is a direct appeal to get everyone to face, to confront, to reckon with personal aloneness. God wants us to see the reality of how each of us spends our life without Him crying, weeping and sobbing over our aloneness and its frustrations.
While each person is born in a body and alone in that body, living alone and dying alone, he has never been alone. God has always been right next to the mind and heart of every human being. It is the wall surrounding man’s aloneness that has kept him separated from God, alone in the dark, tripping and fumbling, guessing, experimenting and walking the plank of an endless internal search for something that can only come from without. Something that will ultimately elude him unless he takes that step called faith. Actually the plank does have an end. It is finding one’s self having fallen headlong into the realm of a personal darkness from which there is no escape. That wall is comprised of a spiritual bonding to sin and this is the ancient problem of man’s incorrigible stubbornness to allow God to penetrate the mind, the heart, the spirit and embrace him from within.

That wall is comprised of a spiritual bonding to sin and this is the ancient problem of man’s incorrigible stubbornness to allow God to penetrate the mind, the heart, the spirit and embrace him from within.

We haven't heard . She was taken to either Lake City or Gainesville early this morning to a facilitty for evaluation. It was by Baker Act, so we can't see her til she's released. Thank you, Mary for that prayer. I'll keep you all informed, love.

Lord touch Jenny right now with your Spirit and let her come into the realization that you are with her regardless of circumstance. Let her know in her heart she is never alone because you are there. IN Jesus' name. Amen

I really like this article, Whitey. It has touched me in several ways. This morning I am in prayer for our daughter Jenny. She attempted to take her life last night. It is a comfort to be able to read about the ways God speaks to us. To know that he wants communication between us. Thank you, God bless.

Whitey, this is really good - brings back memories of your teachings which I miss.
I'm looking forward to attending your Tues morning class and be refreshed by your insight in the Word.

Glad you read it.; It is largely an unfinished article with injected ideas and notes.
