Translators

We are intercessors. We are translators.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But faith without works is dead. Because faith isn't faith without obedience.

I speak English, Spanish, and can count to ten in a few other languages. There are currently about 7,000 languages spoken today. Syllables, phonemes, letters. They call these words. But they're not.

In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with Yahweh. And the Word was Yahweh. For Yahweh speaks Himself.

But He speaks a language that few people understand anymore. The Tower of Babel was not the first time  multiple languages were spoken in this world. No, that happened at the Fall. When Adam and Eve--and by extension all of creation--began to speak a language Yahweh doesn't speak. And stopped understanding Him.

Adam, a creative being that Yahweh formed in his image, continued to create. Only now without the help of the Creator. What he and his lineage created by their words came to be known as Babylon. The world system, aided by another being whose very existence is the opposite of Yahweh's. Adam's descendants have been creating ever since then. Making things Yahweh never wanted. Never spoke. For they could no longer hear Him. The part of them that spoke His language was dormant. Dead. Asleep.

But then He sent the TRANSLATOR. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, that we might all again speak the same language. And some did not want to hear Him, for to do so meant they could no longer claim ignorance. To do so meant they could no longer presume to speak for Him. So they killed Him, hoping that would end it.

But it did not. Instead, He left us another Translator. A helper. Comforter. The Whisperer. Holy Spirit. So that now we can all speak His language. We can understand His heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, a man speaks. And what comes out of the overflow of Yahweh's heart is righteous creation.

But still creation is under the stewardship of man. And not all men speak His language. Some have refused to do so. They, even now, create using words that Yahweh never spoke.

For the worlds were framed by the Word of Yahweh, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Creation comes through words.

But what language do we speak? Yahweh's or another?

Without faith it is impossible to please Yahweh. Faith comes by hearing His Word. When we hear what Yahweh has spoken, agree with it, have faith for it, and carry out the obedience that makes it complete, then we translate from Yahweh's language to creation. And Yahweh can again create beautiful things in the world.

We are the translators. The intercessors. We speak in a language that is otherwise impossible to understand. Many mistranslations have occurred throughout the aeons. We call those religions. There are many religions. But there is only One Spirit. One Yahweh. One Word: Yahshua.

See what Yahweh has spoken. When we translate correctly what Yahweh has spoken, we make what we've heard seen. So that what we've hoped for...what HE has hoped for all along...has substance.
