Genesis 1:1-4
11:4---Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth." (Genesis 11:4, ESV)
11:6---"If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." (NIV)
God created two things:
Heaven & Earth
From Chaos to Recovery
cha·os = complete disorder and confusion:
(miscommunication- turmoil-perfect pandemonium)
Recovery refers to:
A recovery is when you save something that was lost, in danger of becoming lost, or retrieved. If something was taken from you, such as diamonds, money, or your dignity, and you get it back, you can say that you are glad for its recovery. The noun recovery also refers to a return to a natural or original state. After a devastating hurricane, an area's recovery may take many years.
The process of becoming well again after an illness or injury.
The act, process, or instance of regaining something lost or taken away.
In economic terms, it can also refer to an economic upturn after a depression

GENESIS 11:4, Genesis 11:6
Up until this point in the Bible, the whole world spoke the same language, meaning there was one common speech for all people.
God disrupted the work by confusing the language of the workers that they could no longer understand one another. The city was never completed
The goal of the people was not to glorify God and lift up his name but to build a name for themselves.
Genesis 9:1, God told humankind: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth." God wanted people to spread out and fill the whole earth. By building the tower, the people were ignoring God's clear instructions.
tower of Babel was all about convenience, and not obedience to the will of God. The people were doing what seemed best for themselves and not what God had commanded. Their building project symbolized the pride and arrogance
the people thought they could reach heaven on their own terms.
This is why unity in the body of Christ is so important in our efforts to
---------------------------------------
With God being the creator of both heaven and earth that means that he is in charge of both heaven and earth.
No one on this earth can destroy what God creates. Even if someone tries to destroy anything it will only come back bigger and better

Back to the Beginning
BACK TO THE BASICS
BACK TO REALITY

God doesn’t exist in time; however, time exists within God. For example time operates in 3 realms, the past, the present, and the future. It takes us a life time to go from the past, to the present, to the future, but God transcends time, He is in our past, our present, and our future. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more, WHY, because He is not limited to time so to Him there is no difference from yester-past, present-day, or future. He is not limited to the boundaries of time for He created time.

Revelation 22:13 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

“Darkness was upon the face of the deep…” Darkness & confusion.
“God does His best work in the Dark” You may be going through a dark point in your life, chaos is causing you to feel without form, there may seem to be no consistency in your life, you may even be wondering what is it all worth. There may be a void in your life that you may have tried to fill with everything imaginable, drugs, sex, alcohol, gambling, work only to still feel a void down on the inside.
if you are lead by the Spirit in the midst of the darkness He will lead you around any obstacles and dangers that the devil has placed before you, for He said I will lead and guide you in all truth, the truth is He will not let you bump into or fall over anything.
People don’t like the darkness because it is unfamiliar territory. We don’t like the darkness because we don’t know how long we will have to be in the darkness and we cannot see in the darkness. However, it is in the darkness that God is developing our character & SHOWING US HOW TO BE MORE PATIENT
----------------------------
The greatest weapon we have in our fight against the enemy is to maintain an honest heart before God & speak a language that confuses the enemy while we wait to receive & recover all that God has promised us.
ISAIAH 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
God has a plan to restore what was originally intended for you.
God can bring you to a new level of reality about who we are that will restore you to your full potential. God has created everyone with a full and powerful potential.
God is a God of restoration and hope
UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS---DELAYS NEVER DESTROY GOD'S PLANS.
Divine Delays Protect Us
We wait in hope for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.''
Psalm 33:20
Divine Delays Prepare Us
''So the LORD must wait for you to come to Him so He can show you His love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for His help.'' Isaiah 30:18
Divine Delays Direct Us
'Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait all the day.'' Psalm 25:4, 5
EXPECT GOD TO COME THROUGH.
'But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles
I believe that God wants us to be positive in our speech. When you meet a people on the street and say that they look terrible, what happens? They are not pleased and may feel depressed. If you can say something positive to them they feel much better. I believe it is the same way in which we approach out Lord. If we are negative in our prayers we do not usually get an answer. We need to pray the Word of God which is positive.
Life is in the power of the tongue. We need to live and walk in the Spirit of God and not flesh or self.
Faith is a language, it is His Word. We need the Word.
1. Speak the Word of God.
2. Believe the Word of God.
a. Lord, give me ears to hear.
b. Lord, give me a mind to understand.
c. Lord, give me a heart to believe.
d. Lord, give me a mouth to speak your Word.
There are 5 wonderful results when we are speaking Gods Word.
1--- It will release our faith===Our words release faith as it builds us up.
2 ---God Word creates the realities of Redemption that lead to our process of Recovery
3---It is a way of putting our faith in action===Confession will put our angels into action
4---Release of faith brings results of our faith that is spoken===Confession will establish the level of your life.
Negative speech brings negative results.
Positive brings positive
5--- Confession of Gods Word raises the level of our faith.
God wants us to have faith that not only moves mountains but keeps the mountains away.

Proverbs 9:9 Give instructions to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
Proverbs 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
A. Tell me; I'll forget. Show me; I may remember. But involve me and I'll understand.
1. We need to not only be taught but to be doers of the Word.
2. How we learn:
1% through taste
1.5% through touch.
3.5% through smell.
11% through hearing.
83% through sight.
(Looks like Hearing and Reading the Word is very essential)
God’s Will for us is to be more like Him.
GOD’S WORD IS GOD’S WILL AND GOD’S WILL IS GOD’S WORD.
