The Language of Faith vs. The Language of Fear

Faith is a Spirit, as fear is a spirit.

There is the Spirit of faith and the spirit of fear. Paul the apostle wrote about the Spirit of faith in 2 Corinthians 4:13 KJV: “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;”

And the Apostle John wrote about fear and its torment in 1 John 4: 18 KJV. It says, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”

Whatever carries torment must have a spirit attached to it. There are also the principles or laws of faith - fear also has its own laws. If we have shown and seen that both are spirits, then they must each have a language.

Language is a means of communication through sounds or symbols. If FAITH is a Spirit, it must have communication means. If fear is a spirit, it must also have a means of communication or a symbol used to communicate.

WHAT ARE THESE LANGUAGES?

This is what I intend to share with us because many believers yield or respond to these languages without knowing. As a result of being taught incorrectly, many believers press this button or respond incorrectly in ignorance.

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”

- Philemon 1:6 KJV

This is revealing one of the languages of Faith to us - ACKNOWLEDGING EVERY GOOD THING which is in you in Christ Jesus. What do you see when you look at yourself and your life? Some see a weak, sickly, dying, poor, broke believer. If this is what you see, that is the language of fear and not faith. God wants you to recognise and acknowledge every good thing in you in Christ Jesus.

You may ask, what are these good things? Because you can’t see them. But you have the Holy Spirit in you. This is having God in you. This is carrying the One who created the universe in you.

He says that you have overcome them because greater is He who is in you than He that is in the world.” [1 John 4:4]

How can you fail when He lives in you? Say it loudly with your mouth: “I can’t fail, I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me” [Philippians 4:13]. This was the Spirit in David, and this is the same Spirit we have now. This is the language of our Faith.

Luke 8: 41-42 tells of a man who sought Jesus because his daughter was sick. Jesus volunteered to go with him, but on their way, He was interrupted by a woman. While Jesus ministered to the woman, some men told the man his daughter was dead. Jesus heard it and said to him, “Fear not.” [Luke 8:49-50]

The language of fear here is doubt and unbelief- the thought that God can’t. But I tell you today that GOD CAN. Only believe, and you will see. Hallelujah!
