Who is doing the speaking? Is it the Holy Spirit doing the speaking? No, the Bible says “If I speak.” 1 Cor. 14:2 The Holy Spirit gives the utterances or expression or sound. So I open my mouth, I press forward in speech, but what comes out is orchestrated by God’s Holy Spirit. Praying is the same way.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 1 Cor 14:15. So you will have to open your mouth and lunge forward. You will be amazed at just how easy it really is.
1 Cor. 14:2
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
1 Cor. 14: 15
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
