WHICH THINGS ALSO WE SPEAK”: THE VOCAL REIGN OF THE NEW CREATION

THE SCRIPTURAL ANCHOR: THE SPIRITUAL REVELATION

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” — (1 CORINTHIANS 2:12)

I. THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: FROM REVELATION TO UTTERANCE

On this glorious Sunday, May 10th, 2026, the Spirit of God is leading us into a deeper understanding of the functional mechanics of the Kingdom. One of the primary reasons the Holy Spirit was sent into your life—aside from being your Comforter, Counselor, and Advocate—is to act as a Divine Illuminator.

According to 1 Corinthians 2:11-13, the human intellect, as brilliant as it may be, is fundamentally incapable of perceiving the “Deep Things” of God. Just as no one knows the private thoughts of a man except the spirit of that man, no one knows the thoughts and plans of God except the Spirit of God. When you received the Holy Spirit, you received the “Insider’s Perspective” on the Godhead. He came to make you conscious of what God has freely, lavishly, and irrevocably bestowed upon you. However, the process doesn’t end with “knowing.” The 13th verse adds a critical dimension: “Which things also we speak…” Knowing is for your information; Speaking is for your manifestation.

II. THE FALLACY OF THE SILENT BELIEVER

In our world today, there is a common criticism directed toward Christians who are vocal about their faith—specifically those who boldly confess the Word regarding prosperity, health, victory, and dominion. Critics often label this as “presumption” or “positive thinking.” But these criticisms are rooted in a fundamental ignorance of spiritual law.

1. The Binary Reality of Faith

In the spirit realm, there is no “neutral” ground. You are either speaking the language of the Kingdom or the language of the world.

• If you are not proactively proclaiming Prosperity, you have effectively endorsed Lack.

• If you are not daily affirming your Divine Health, you have left the door open for Sickness.

• If you aren’t declaring Victory, you have accepted the possibility of Defeat.

2. The Will of the Father

3 John 1:2 is not a mere suggestion; it is the unveiled heart of the Father: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” God is interested in your complete prosperity—material, physical, and mental. The Holy Spirit reveals these truths to you, but He also acts as a “Speech Coach,” teaching you to articulate these spiritual realities until they dominate your physical environment.

III. CHRISTIANITY IS A “TALKING” RELIGION

You must understand this fundamental truth: Christianity is for talkers. If you are a silent Christian, you are not practicing the New Testament faith as revealed in the Epistles.

1. The Victory Principle

Our faith is a “professing” faith. We don’t speak because we see; we speak so that we may see. The principle is found in Hebrews 13:5-6: “…for he hath said… So that we may boldly say…” Your “bold saying” must be a response to God’s “He hath said.” God spoke His Word so that you would have a foundation for your speech.

2. The Spirit of Faith

2 Corinthians 4:13 declares, “We having the same spirit of faith… I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” Faith has a voice. If it doesn’t speak, it isn’t the Bible kind of faith. We talk our inheritance. We declare our identity. We profess our heritage.

1. We don’t speak to convince God; we speak to instruct creation and align our lives with the finished work of Christ

IV. COMPREHENSIVE Q&A: MASTERING THE LANGUAGE OF THE KINGDOM

Q1: Why do I need to ‘speak’ it if God already knows I need it?

Answer: God’s knowledge of your need does not authorize its manifestation; your faith-filled words do. God gave the earth to the sons of men (Psalm 115:16). You are the “legal governor” of your life. Speaking the Word is how you exercise your “Power of Attorney” in Christ to bring spiritual realities into the physical realm.

Q2: Does this mean I should ‘deny’ physical symptoms or financial challenges?

Answer: We do not deny the existence of facts; we deny their right to remain. When you speak health in the face of symptoms, you are acknowledging a higher truth—the Truth of the Word—which has the power to change the facts. Facts are subject to change; the Word of God is eternal.

Q3: How long do I have to keep speaking before I see results?

Answer: You speak until the Word becomes your “Dominant Consciousness.” For some, manifestation is instant; for others, it takes a period of “meditation-to-utterance.” However, the rule of the Kingdom is that you don’t stop talking until the glory is manifested.

V. THE 2026 PROPHETIC CHALLENGE: THE GLORY ASCENSION

In this year 2026, the Lord is calling you to a higher level of vocal authority.

1: Refuse the Vocabulary of the World: Stop saying “I’m broke,” “I’m catching the flu,” or “Things are hard.” These are the “words which man’s wisdom teacheth.”

2: Embrace Spiritual Language: Use the vocabulary of the Spirit. Say, “I am enriched in all things,” “I have the life of God in every cell of my body,” and “I am more than a conqueror.

3: Watch the Transformation: As you align your mouth with God’s Word, your life will move from “glory to glory.” Your words are the “rudder” that steers the ship of your life (James 3:4).

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank You for the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life, who acts as my Divine Counselor and Teacher. I thank You because He has revealed to me the things that are freely given to me by Your grace. My mouth is filled with Your Word today, and I refuse to speak the language of fear, lack, or defeat. I speak boldly that I am healthy, prosperous, and victorious in Christ Jesus. I walk in dominion, and I see my life transformed from glory to glory as I affirm the realities of Your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
