A word of Knowledge: Sing with the spirit  The basis for Singing with the spirit (note, not Spirit), which is singing in tongues: Since the time I started singing with the spirit, I discovered there is a blessing upon my soul that comes with the singings. 1 Corinthians 14:14-15 KJV For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.  [15] What is it then?

A word of Wisdom: Anointed vs Appointed In Christianity,  the apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors are anointed by God with the calling, the gifts and the power to serve as servants for God's people, for the Kingdom of God. They are ordained by God to take positions in their called roles as a result of their actual experiences in the service and ministering in the Kingdom of God.

A word of Wisdom: Hearer or Do-er? James 1:22 KJV But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
