Head, get out the way
Pastor Ken asked us all to pray for miracles, seen in the Early Church, to become everyday life in the modern day church. Although I totally agreed, I found it difficult to pray. Then it struck me why I couldn’t engage my heart and pray with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that I was trying to pray with my head. I was using my head as an index searching for any relevent scriptures. But my prayers just didn’t flow. My head was getting in the way of the Holy Spirit, who wanted to speak to me and tell me what he thought.
John 15 v 5 says, ‘Apart from me, you can do nothing.’ How true is this with regards to my prayer. If I don’t pray with the Holy Spirit and learn to engage my heart I’ll get nowhere.

You are absolutely right, our head will only get in the way. I remember back in 1994 when the Sunderland Refreshing hit. Pastor Ken would say, don’t try and analyse what is happening, step into the river of what God is doing. It is so true. Some things in God cannot be worked out. Amos 3:3 Can two walk together unless they be agreed. We need to agree with our senior partner the Holy Spirit. As we learn to do this, then we will walk in God’s miraculous power. For his ways are not our ways. We need to trust him as he guides us step by step into the miraculous.
