Today I had the pleasure of holding the lovely little Heather during worship. I think Heather is about three... She is a little girl with big insight...at times I have even found that she will say something in a particular way that seems to have a prophetic edge. So today I was worshiping and she was all snuggled up in my arms. Every once in a while she'd ask a question (what's on your arm, why are you wearing earrings, etc.) At one point during worship I began to pray in tongues...pretty normal. When I finished, Heather asked "How did you learn that?". I was impressed at this question from such a young kid. I told her it was a language that Jesus gave me. She was persistent - she asked three or four times. It struck me that tongues is a powerful and wonderful gift that is clearly of God. Even a three year old can tell that it is something special. Different. It reminded me of this verse:
"Thus tongues are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers..."
(1 Cor 14:22)
It also reminded me of when Tony Ling described waking up to hear a foreign army in the streets. People will know a new Kingdom has arrived when they hear us speaking in the language of that Kingdom.
