Hello Everyone,

What are the rewards when the Spirit helps us?

• Confidence in the midst of uncertainty. (27)

“…the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will”.

The word “intercede” means to “speak in behalf of, to appeal and plead for.”

Prayer in the Spirit is a side bar. (The Judge in a court setting says for the Lawyer and the defendant to come up to the bench.)

God says time out come up to the bench.

So we have certainty in times of uncertainty.

• Direction in times of darkness. (26)

“We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit…”

Prayer in the Spirit is”Night Vision”. It gives us access to God’s will.

Charles Spurgeon captures this best when he said: “The Holy Spirit’s intercessions have in them such a blessed blending of all that is good that they come up as a sweet perfume before the Lord…That prayer which came from heaven will certainly go back to heaven. If the Holy Ghost prompts it, the Father must and will accept it, for it is not possible that He should put a slight (to make trivial or insignificant) upon the ever blessed and adorable Spirit.”

“…the Spirit HELPS US…”

All Through the Word of God we see how we ought to pray. If there is anything that needs to be clear it is this: the people of God are called to be a people of prayer.

If we want to bring glory to God, our lives must be consumed with seeking the face of God.

Oh How HE Loves Us!

Pastor Phil
