I know it’s kind of far-fetched, or like a weird pet doctrine, but I really do see devotional and corporate tongues as important, and becoming more important in the days we’re entering. In every age glossolalia is an incarnation-al practice, helping us tap into holy foolishness and Christ’s marriage of humanity and divinity. But in these days, as we approach the destruction of this world and the ushering in of God’s kin-dom, we can see the earth crying out for Christ’s return, and deep in us we know the Spirit lets out her groans too deep for words, and it’s time for us to join them in bouncy syllables and wordless shouts. It’s time to shout, scream, use every noise and sound we know, to make known that we are dying, to make known that liberation needs to be poured out, to scream for those unable to, and to praise the God who gives us the Spirit and graces to revolt. It’s intercession and worship. It’s time to prophesy, and it’s sure as hell to time to speak in tongues.
