“Helps and Intercession”

Blessings Folk!

Ah, the work of the Spirit.

Paul is revealing how we are to live in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

Rom 8:26-27
In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

The Spirit:

  • helps our weakness...the struggle with the flesh. The Spirit helps.
  • intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words...because we do not know how to pray as we should.
  • intercedes for the saints...according to the will of God

“He Who searches the hearts”...Father.
He knows the mind of the Spirit.
The Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

All to the praise of the Lord!
We are not abandoned.
We are not ill-equipped.
We have the Spirit.
Live in the Spirit.
