yourself in a new realm of glory.
That is the wrong perspective.
1. Make Music in Your Heart
In Ephesians 5:18, we are instructed to
be filled with the Spirit, which happens
as we sing songs from the Spirit.
Actually, this is a reciprocal instruction.
I’ve discovered that those who are filled
with the Spirit spontaneously praise as
a natural response to being filled. The
Spirit gives you His sounds, rhythms,
and songs. The key is to allow that song
to come forth from your spirit.
Don’t be afraid to hum, whistle, or sing
the melody that the Spirit places within
you. When you first recognize it, it will
come without words. You might sing
“la-la-la” or “do-do-do,” but God will take
that melody and use it in a supernatural
way. I like to sing first thing in the
morning while getting ready for the
day, but you can sing in your car on the
way to work or while walking down the
street. The Scriptures encourage us to
make music from our heart unto the
Lord, and that’s the important thing.
When you release the sound God places
in your heart, it will open up an entirely
new realm into the supernatural.
Recognize that everything begins in the
Spirit. We cannot properly pray with our
own understanding. It is the Spirit who
gives us insight into the thoughts and
intents of God. Singing is the same.
We must do it first in the Spirit. Once
you make melody in your heart, sing
that tune in the Spirit. If you haven’t yet
received your prayer language, I would
encourage you to read my book, Simple
Supernatural , and allow me to pray
with you to receive the baptism in the
Holy Spirit, as evidenced by speaking
in tongues. Then, sing in the Spirit and
allow the Spirit of God to sing through
you.
3. Sing with Your Understanding
The final step to singing the new
song is to transition from singing in
the Spirit to singing with your natural
understanding. You may be amazed
by what the Lord has been speaking
through you when you translate your
song in this way. There have been
times when I’ve sung over nations and
other times when the new song comes
forth as a simple declaration over my
personal life.
