Spontaneous

"...So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour—say it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit. ..." 
Matthew 13:11

Is spontaneous prayer, singing, or spoken word evidence of the Holy Spirit's presence and leading?  I think so...  Last night I attend a prayer and worship service where the Holy Spirit clarified something for me.  Have you ever heard a worship leader, singer, or person praying where they are obvously being led to sing spontaneously with words of wisdom, lyrics, scriptures or prophecies?  This spontaneous singing is difficult to rehearse and even more difficult to fake, especially when the spontaneous lyrics fit so well with the song rythym and chords and even more when those words or lyrics speak directly to hearts and minds of those hearing them.  I believe this sponteous singing is the result of a heart and mind which have submitted to the power and leading of the Holy Spirit.  There is no other way to describe it.

The result is a breakthrough in peoples lives.  Those in the room at time will experience a presence, a longing which has been fulfilled, a breakdown of barriers and perhaps a breakdown of strongholds.  I believe that in prayers of intercession, this spontaeous prayer will even impact those remote from the prayer meeting... regardless of where in the world they are.  When we allow the Holy Spirit to work in our life... when we get ourselves out the way, there is truly an affect which will make a difference.

Praise God for this wonderful, spontaneous word.  I encourage you to get connected to the Holy Spirit: spend time in prayer, in the Word, in songs and hymns.  Ask for the Holy Spirit to open your heart to His leading.

Be blessed...
