Matthew 21:15-16
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that Jesus did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
“Do you hear what these children are saying?” They asked Jesus.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
“‘From the lips of children and infants
you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”
He calls forth this type of spontaneous praise, children praise, the spirit of true praise and worship. In Spirit and in Truth. (I think of the AT&T commercials with children spontaneously speaking. The pleasure we take in that.)
Matthew 9:33
And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
Mark 2:12
The paralyzed man got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
We are the mouths of babes, when we spontaneously worship The Lord, the song of the redeemed. This is the Perfected praise; man would see it as pathetic, but to The Lord says this is perfected praise. Man would lay out a plan with intellectual means to Build a Tower of Babel. The Lord would desire the tongue of babel from His children.
"The worship of the redeemed."
Isaiah 51:11
Those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
I believe we are seeing things, amazing things that we've never seen before! See! The things of The Spirit! An open heaven visible, tangible! So much so that it would overtake us and cause us to spontaneously speak and sing out in notes and songs we never knew were in us. Lord give us eyes to see that will cause us to say things in the natural that are not in the dictionary or within our human language capacity but a catapulting forth, the language of heaven. Set forth Tongues of Fire that will reside above our heads! A new song, a Song of the Spirit which is seen. Involuntary movement and sounds will come forth from a people of praise, a people of worship, true worship. Spontaneous worship. That child within us is coming forth, springing up, overtaken by gladness and joy, with the true babel. Not the Tower of Babel made by man, but the true child will bring forth praise. "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel" The Redeemed! The children! The song of the redeemed! Let the children come unto me and forbid them not! Let them sing forth the song of the redeemed! The sound of heaven!
The Lord would say sing oh daughters of Zion! He will joy over our singing!
Zephaniah 3:14-17
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel;
be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy:
the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee:
thou shalt not see evil any more.
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not:
and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack. (Raised hands as a child to the father)
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;
he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
He takes pleasure and opens heaven to see His children spring forth with surrendered hands, spontaneous praise...to see His daughters pour forth true unhindered worship, to hear the sound of Heaven coming forth from Earthen vessels!! Heaven on Earth!!!
Revelation 3:22, 4:1.
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ...after this I looked and there before me was a door standing open in heaven.
And the voice I first heard speaking to me say come up here! ...at once I was in the Spirit! Spontaneous worship!
