God’s Growth For Us Is Linear, It Builds Over Time. We Start Out In One Place And
We Build As We Go
Scripture: Isaiah 28:9-11
Isaiah 28:9-11 says, “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to
understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts?
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here
a little, there a little. For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this
people,…” God makes it clear that He has a purpose and a plan for tongues. The question He
asks in this passage is, whom will He teach knowledge? Whom will He make to understand
the message? Babies just weaned from milk, and those just drawn from the breast? No, not
babies! We have to be old enough to understand precepts and how God builds upon those
precepts because God’s growth for us is linear, it builds over time. We start out in one place
and we build as we go. We build and we grow as Jesus did. It is linear and because it is
linear, God says those precepts unfold and build as we pray in tongues.
Are we doing it or have we let it fall by the wayside?
