Identify the Channel of Communication

 

In the natural, you don’t hear with your ear one day

and with your big toe the next. In the same way, your

spiritual anatomy isn’t designed for God to

communicate with different parts of your spirit man

depending on what day it is. Every time God talks to

you, He will communicate through the same channel.

Therefore, if you can isolate and identify that channel,

you can open a door to a spiritual treasure house that

no man can close.

When we hear God’s voice, it seems as if it comes from

somewhere deep down in the center of our being and

rises to our mind. Most of us have enough sense to

know it doesn’t originate in our natural mind; it comes

up to our mind.

I always wondered where that deep inner well was that

God’s voice came from. I wanted to discover how to

uncap and monitor it so I could listen to the Holy Spirit

on purpose, just because I wanted to hear Him.

Well, in First Corinthians 14:14, it says that if I, Dave

Roberson, pray in an unknown tongue, my human spirit

is doing the praying under the influence of the Holy

Spirit. I came to realize that if that’s true, then

somewhere within my spirit the Holy Spirit has to bring

that supernatural language into existence and then

deposit it in my spirit. A transfer of those tongues has

to take place from the Person of the Holy Spirit to my

human spirit. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be me doing the

praying.

The Lord once gave me an inner vision to show me how

the Holy Spirit transfers His super-natural language to

my spirit. In the vision, I saw the outer man and the

inner man. The outer man, the fleshly man, was the

darkest of the figures. The soul was another shade

lighter, and the spirit man was absolutely light.

I saw the Holy Spirit literally creating or bringing into

existence His supernatural language in my spiritual

mind, which was actually encased within the natural

mind of my outer man.

What science has labeled the subconscious is actually

the spiritual mind. Scientists say that it possesses

incredible ability that far exceeds the operational

capacity of the physical brain.

So when the Holy Spirit creates His supernatural

language in you, those tongues originate way down

deep in your spirit and then come up into the recesses

of your spiritual mind, which lies within your physical

mind. This explains the fact that when the Holy Spirit

speaks, it is not a surface speaking. It comes from the

depths of that spiritual mind and bursts outwardly into

your intellect.

That’s why if you don’t let the tongues come out of your

mouth, those supernatural words will bypass your

mouth and drift up to your thoughts, and you’ll “hear”

the tongues in your natural mind.

Now, as long as you let the supernatural language that

the Holy Spirit creates come out of your mouth, your

mind is free to think of other things. For instance, I’ve

made it a regular practice to read the Word while I pray

in tongues.

But what if you stop that flow and stop speaking those

tongues out? Can you pray in tongues in your mind? Not

effectively, because you actually complete the channel

of prayer by allowing the Holy Spirit’s language to come

out of your mouth.

If you don’t speak out that language (and it can be just a

quiet whispering under your breath), eventually your

mind will shift over to something else and dismiss the

tongues, and you’ll find you have stopped praying. You

have cut short the flow of prayer coming through God’s

channel of communication.

The Door to Another World

**************************************************************************************

When you pray in tongues, you immediately put

yourself in the Spirit, because you open the door to

another world. You have opened the channel to your

own human spirit, giving your-self direct contact with

the Holy Spirit. So let’s isolate the door through which

God’s voice comes so you can recognize when He is

speaking to you.

After the vision that showed me how the Holy Spirit

transfers His language to the human spirit, the Lord

instructed me to do something very unusual. (During

this experience, I was under a heavy anointing,

unaware of my physical surroundings. It sounded like

His voice was coming from everywhere.)

He said, “Son, now I want you to learn to locate the

channel through which I communicate with you.” (Most

of us operate out of that channel without any idea

where it is!)

Then the Lord instructed me, “Pray in tongues for a

while.” I obeyed until He told me to stop. Then He said,

“Now listen.”

As I kept quiet and listened, the tongues continued to

come up from my spirit and explode across my

intellect. Even though I wasn’t speaking the tongues out

of my mouth, I could “hear”them loud in my mind. I

realized then that the channel through which the Holy

Spirit creates His supernatural language is the same

channel through which He brings revelation,

visions,prophecy, and so forth, to my mind.

Get Acquainted With God’s Channel Of Communication

**************************************************************************************

I’ll tell you the truth — the only reason I can teach on

these matters in detail is that the Holy Spirit taught

them first to me in detail. And He couldn’t have done

that unless the channel of communication between me

and God had opened up so I could accurately discern

His voice.

You see, it is as you pray in tongues that the channel is

actually opened through which God communicates.

This is what happens when tongues for interpretation

operates. The tongues open the channel for what is

about to come. Once that channel is open, the Holy

Spirit can send the interpretation through in the same

manner He sent the tongues.

Then the more you pray in the Holy Ghost, the more

familiar you become with that channel and the greater

your ability to recognize when God comes across the

same channel with a vision or with revelation

knowledge in your native language.

As you consistently give yourself to praying in tongues,

that channel of communication will become

increasingly clear and definite. You’ll find it easier and

easier to enter into the rest of faith as you learn to shut

out the world and hear the voice of God within. It won’t

be long before you’ll immediately know the difference

between mental energy and the inspiration of the Holy

Spirit.

But if you’re not consistently allowing the Holy Spirit to

create that supernatural language in your spirit as you

speak it out of your mouth, it will become much more

difficult to shut out The external circumstances. You

won’t find it easy at all to monitor your spirit for what

God maybe saying to you.

As I faithfully kept praying in tongues, I learned how to

listen to that channel. I know now where His voice

comes from. I know where visions come from that burst

suddenly across my mind. I also know where revelation

knowledge comes from, because all of these things

originate in the same part of my spirit.

I know how to shut down in the middle of all kinds of

chaos and monitor that channel through which God

communicates. I may receive an inner witness, a check

or warning signal, or a vision. I may hear Him speak to

me in English. No matter what turmoil is going on

around me, I can shut it out and wait for whatever I

need to come through that channel of divine

communication — and you can do the same!
