MASTERING THE BABYLONIAN LANGUAGE. Part 6

Another powerful strategy of the enemy which is part of the narrative of the spirit of Jezebel is the altering of words and their meaning, and I’ll like to highlight this point briefly we before begin to deal with the issue of how Jezebel infiltrate our lives, families, community and society.

Words, language, phrases are some of the most powerful tools in capturing and expressing culture. There’s absolutely no way we can capture the spirit of an Age or civilization without understanding the lingua of such society. Today, new language is be coined while old, relevant words are systematically being eroded, and this is what I’ll like us to briefly consider.

Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. 11 If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me. 1 Corinthians 14:10-11

The more I look into the scripture in the context of what we are assigned to represent in the 21^st-century society, the more I see a lack of preparation and almost the sense of total disconnection in terms of awareness and understanding of the nature of the season.

Being a sheep among wolves requires a deeper sense of the operation of the Spirit of wisdom, and being wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove is certainly operating from another realm of life that gives us the edge to effectively represent the eternal intentions of the Father is an ever-increasing hustle society.

The nature and character of the days we’ve been brought into demand we are skilled in all the langue of the Chaldeans, the Babylonians, and the Egyptians, and we should stop seeing this idea as a foreign idea or unbiblical.  As we know, Jesus spoke Aramaic because that was the language of the day.  The big question we should be asking ourselves is, what is today’s language?

When I speak of language, please note that I am not merely referring to lingua franca but the generation ideological, operating interface within societies; a manner of thinking that connects people, places, things and even machines in a manner that allows a general communication and understanding. Every generation developed and operated through this kind of language they adopted in promoting certain values, beliefs and ideologies we sought to promote.

Cultures, ideologies, traditions and captured within the language. Language is the total sum of what defines our identity.

As we can notice, the past three decades or so, the world and its philosophers have been busy developing a new language that has almost become matured in use to promote their ideology today but the church has been caught sleeping in combatting the wrong ideology behind this language.

One unique thing we witness throughout the scripture that gave the people of God the edge to stand out even in times of captivity is their ability to quickly learn and use the language of their captors as an advantage to advance the purposes of God.  Indeed, language is a medium of communication. However, we are seeing various forms of communicating today that goes way beyond two people merely talking. Communication today has become a very powerful tool to imprint and establish a philosophy that is weaponized to kill, steal, and destroy.

The art of communication has become one of the most lucrative 21^st-century business that yields lots of profit. My point, however, is not just about the profiting side of communication but to highlight the deliberate war on destroying the meaning and definition of words, as they are today viewed to serve the certain narratives and agendas.

Society is being assaulted from all angles by those whose agenda is to destroy the very fiber of society and sought to change the order of things redesign. Language today, has transcended to the level of ideology; an ideology that should promote certain ‘progressive beliefs’

We live in a day where we are constantly being bombarded by various voices, opinions, and ideologies that society seek to impress upon us regardless of our interest or not. Unfortunately, many within the community of the Church have not been adequately sensitized and prepared for these kinds of subtle confrontations.

Indeed, these voices, when we face them, come across aggressively, demanding we take a side, and of cause, they want us to take their side because they’ve tried to desensitize the minds of many us using phrases the promotes their ideology of the new world order they are trying to create. 

Many spiritual leaders are yet to fully comprehend the nature and complexity of the battle before the Church, and I do hope this few points will wake us up as we confront the spirit of Jezebel and other powerful Satanic principalities.

While I strongly believe the Father gave the Church the platform of social media to propagate the gospel of Christ to the lost, and to serve as a melting point to speak redirection to the disgruntled members of the lost sheep of God. We are yet to understand that the social media just like other platforms is actually a 21^st-century language we must learn like Daniel and his friends learnt the language of the Babylonians in other to carry out the mandate of the kingdom.

Those who are masters of language will determine the direction of society, its philosophy and economy. Everything today has a coded language that should be learnt in order to utilize its power or influence. We, as the ecclesia is in the midst of powerful warfare, and this war is all about influencing other nations.

THE POWER OF LANGUAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT CIVILIZATION

One of the main reasons countries like America and China are fighting what is termed as economic war is for the single reason of language. As I said, languages, which the scripture also refers to as voices, has gone beyond voice communication to an ideological war that is playing out on every form of system that made has created to establish his dominance.

In other words, those who are skilled in computer language have the edge of power and influence. Introducing computer program language from early childhood is necessary and highly critical for any nation or society to service. 

Someone of the wealthiest companies today is those dealing with computer language and pregaming. I have used these points to further stress the point I am making.

The world of social media has become a tool to increase the volumes of the voices and noises to distract many away from the pathway of sound moral judgement.  There is all kind of voices today that have been empowered and indeed, amplified through the tool of social media that has brought more confusion and challenges regarding being able to ascertain what the Spirit of the Lord will have many knows.

When we talk about information overload, we are dealing with a reality that has come to define the culture and structural fabric of today’s society. We are at the twilight of a new sociocultural revolution; a revolution that is not fought with guns and sword but with language and what I define as New Age opinions.

In the last three decades or so, the English language has dramatically revolved to the point that the meanings of certain key words that defines our social lifestyle have been forced to change their meaning, or in some cases have been reduced to obsolescence.  Words are losing their true meaning, and this is a deliberate act in reconfiguring how we process thoughts, meaning, intentions, and actions.

The agenda of the powers of darkness in this season carries various faces of expression as we have earlier discussed, all depending on the position of the battle line they find themselves and the objective they seek to achieve.  As we continue to witness the systematic introduction of certain phrases and words into the society the idea is to reprogram how we see, process and accept meanings.  One of the keyways the enemy can infiltrate any heart or space is to change the meaning of words, particularly, if those words expresses certain sense of morality, accountability and demand to correctness.

The American society and a larger part of Europe have lost a major ground during the first battle around language in the last three decades, and the loss opened the door for certain ideologies and philosophy to be introduced their society to the point that an average teen or adult today are struggling to comprehend or appreciate the meaning of certain words that ought to give them moral definition and a deep sense of correctness.

Right from the beginning of time, language has played a major role in the development of humans and the desire to build a strong, shared community, and we saw this greatly impressed during the building of the tower of Babel. Every time there’s a need to build a tower of [Babel] rebellion, human always seeks for a common language to implement such a task, even if they have nothing in common with each other. The enemy also play behind the call and support for

unity for as long as such call play towards its diabolic agenda.
