The Holy Spirit -Our Helper in Prayer. Rom 8:26-28
(KJV)
Likewise
the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought:
but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered.
{27} And
he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the
Spirit,
because he
maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
{28} And we know
that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are
the called according to his purpose.
1) "Helpeth our
infirmities":
Greek: To lend a hand together with, at
the same time,
The Holy Spirit takes hold at our side
at the very time of our weakness, and before it's too late.
2)
"Maketh intercession" for the saints
This is a picturesque word of rescue by one
who "happens on one who is in trouble and pleads on his
behalf" with another.
3) "Groanings which cannot be
uttered"
...pleads "with unuttered groanings" or with "sighs that baffle
words" (Denney). This is work of our Helper, the Spirit
himself.
(From "Robertsons Word Pictures" of the
Greek NT)
1Sa 16:7
(KJV)
But the LORD said unto Samuel,
Look not on his countenance, or on the height of
his stature;
because I have refused him:
for the LORD seeth
not as man seeth;
for man looketh on the
outward appearance,
but the LORD looketh
on the heart.
Rom 8:33-34
(KJV)
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?
It is God that justifieth.
(34) Who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is
risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,
who also maketh intercession for
us.
Joh 14:16-18
(KJV)
And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for
ever; (17) Even the
Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
(18) I
will not leave you comfortless: I will come to
you.
Heb 4:14-16 (KJV)
Seeing then that we have a great
high priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our
profession.
{15} For we have not an
high priest
which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like
as we are, yet without sin.
{16} Let us therefore come
boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of
need.
Psa 44:20-21
(KJV)
If we have forgotten the name of
our God,
or stretched out our hands to a
strange god;
{21} Shall not God search
this out?
for he knoweth the secrets of the
heart.
1 Chr 28:9
(KJV)
And thou, Solomon my son, know
thou the God of thy father,
and serve him with a perfect heart
and with a willing mind:
for the LORD searcheth all hearts,
and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts:
if thou seek him, he will be found
of thee;
but if thou forsake him, he will
cast thee off for ever.
Jer 17:9-10
(KJV)
The heart is deceitful
above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
{10} I the LORD search the
heart, I try the reins,(
fig. the mind ,as the interior self)
even to give every man according to his ways,
and according to the
fruit of his doings.
(Gal 4:6-7
KJV)
And because ye are sons,
God hath sent forth the Spirit of
his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
{7} Wherefore thou art no
more a servant, but a son;
and if a son, then an heir of God
through Christ.
(Eph 2:18
KJV)
For through him[Jesus
Christ]
we both[Jews
and Gentiles] have access by one Spirit unto the
Father.
Eph 6:18
(KJV)
Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Jude 1:20
(KJV)
But ye, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy
Ghost,
