*THE SPIRITS OF INTERCESSION pt2*
_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. Romans_ 8:26(KJV).
How does the spirits intercede for us as a believers is our next focus. Several time we want to intercedes but our flesh is not in alignment with the spirits of prayer. The verse begins by stating that the Spirit helpeth our infirmities. Then after describing our weakness in prayer, apostle Paul explained how the Spirit helps us in prayer. He maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Here we are told that we are not alone in our prayers. The Spirit is with us. He is within us. Not only do we have the second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25-26; 9:24), we also have the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, here with us making intercession for us. We have two intercessors, when we pray. One with the Father and One with us. What a glorious privilege we have as believer's. But how does the Spirit make intercession for us? The Bible says that, it is with groanings that cannot be uttered. These are unspoken groanings that cannot be uttered. I don’t believe this verse means literal groans, but metaphorical groans as in verses 22 and 23 which refer to the groanings of creation and the redeemed.
Also, in verse 27, specifically says that God knoweth the mind of the Spirit (the unarticulated), not the groans of the Spirit. Now, what does all this mean? I believe it means that while we pray audibly (often times ignorantly), the Spirit is making intercession for us inaudibly (without words). In other words, the Spirt translates for us by praying for us what we should be praying.
*SHALL WE PRAY...*
Father in the name of Jesus, thank you for your divine intercession over my life and destiny.
