PRAY AND SING!

What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15).

Sometimes we have no knowledge of how to pray because the things that we confront are bigger than we are. They are deeper than our human logic can comprehend.

That's why we need to pray within the spirit realm, which is bigger than any problem, weakness, or dilemma we face. We also need to ask God to interpret to us the things that we have spoken through the auspice of the Holy Spirit. As He reveals them to us, we will gain an understanding.

Sometimes we don't know what to say. Our heart is crushed; our spirit is overwhelmed. We know that we need a touch; we know the area that needs to be touched, but we don't always know what to say.

Have you ever been so overwhelmed, so overcome that all you can do is groan? Maybe you can only say, "Jesus, help me," or "I need You, Lord." That's when we need to change our language. We need to wait on the Holy Spirit because He knows how to pray ...and what to pray. The Holy Spirit will always pray in alignment with the will of God (see Rom. 8:27).

The anointing of the Holy Spirit doesn't always bring chills or goose bumps. It isn't always charged with emotion. The anointing, however, brings power and strength.
