I also think it is literally God speaking through us with His word! He SHARES his word with us in this deep manner of speaking it through us! I also think there is something there about God creating with His Word. We are new creations in Spirit new birth, and God actually is sorta saying, "Let there be..." through our very mouths! |
Edifies oneself? Why through words a person needs to speak with their own mouth?
And why an unknown language for prayer?
How can He be speaking His word through us, to us, if we can't understand what we're speaking?

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message
