John 1:29-33 KJV
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a
There is a place in God where you enter in and connect with the LORD. I want to be very clear with what I’m about to say: If you do not enter in, you are not praying. If your spirit man does not connect with the Holy Spirit, you will not know what to pray for!
When you pray, do you feel the presence of God? When you pray with other people, do you sense that they have entered in? Whenever you get to a prayer meeting and you have

me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.”
“Behold the Lamb of GOD!” How were the disciples able to use such picturesque words in Acts 2? How were they able to see the Holy Spirit?
God gave them supernatural eyes so that they might see the very thing He was testifying of. John preached the coming of the Messiah and God backed up his preaching by giving Holy Spirit.
nothing to say, you have not entered in. Many are afraid to enter in, but I invite you to a place where prayer really matters. It’s a place called “In the Spirit.”
“In the Spirit” is where the joy, the peace, and the light of the Holy Spirit is, and God wants you to have all of it! He wants you to flow and prosper in it! The Lord desires to move in your life and take you to a place where your spirit man connects with the Holy Spirit and you go from spiritual words to supernatural communion and fellowship.

Acts 1:13 KJV
The Holy Spirit is a Like Manner of Jesus
When you pray, there is to be a flow of the power and presence of God to overwhelm you and everyone praying with you! You can show up to prayer but not enter in, and beloved, entering in is more important than showing up. Entering in is where your spirit man is totally connecting with the Holy Spirit to such a degree that you have gone from natural words to supernatural communion. Those in the Upper Room were so filled that it spilled over to the people of Jerusalem and caused them to repent of their sins! The filling of the Holy Spirit should be so strong on your life that it causes others to come into the knowledge of Christ.
1 Corinthians 14:15 KJV
“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.”
“And when they were come in, they went up into an Upper Room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.”
The disciples and those in the Upper Room prayed out the descent, the like manner in which the Holy Spirit descended from Heaven. There ought to be such fire and passion when you pray that you should think something is wrong if you don’t have that passion for prayer! If you are not passionate for prayer, pray until you have it and once you enter in, the Scriptures will come alive. Do not allow anything or anyone to distract you from this glorious place in the realm of the spirit called “there.” Abide in this place and continue there in like manner! S
