Language is one of the most vital cornerstones of human culture. Entire civilizations are built upon a foundation of a common language. It is therefore important that we recognize the power of the heavenly language that God has empowered us to speak in tongues of the Spirit. This act returns us to God's original plan for his church and permits us to truly connect with God in a way that our minds may be unable to. When our mind fails us or does not have the words, the groanings of our Spirit allow for the self-edification and intercession that needs to occur.
