Hebraic Musing – Is the Holy Spirit our Helper when words fail?
Have you ever felt
that you didn’t know how to pray, words were insufficient? The Lord has provided a solution to this Problem. “We do not know what we ought to pray for,
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot
express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,
because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's
will.” Romans 8:26-27 NIV
Do
Prayers fail because we have one of these Problems?
1. Ignorance. We just ain’t smart enough to solve it. How well do we know our Bible?
2. Impotence. Our flesh doesn’t want to cooperate! As Jesus told Peter - “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit
indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41 NIV
3. Interference. Distractions distract us and we find
ourselves fighting in the spirit realm. “For our struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Ephesians 6:12
What
are the Solutions?
4. Birthing or
Labor pains. In our struggles we
need to be groaning and interceding to birth the solution.
“the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes
for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our
hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the
saints in accordance with God's will.” Romans 8:26-27 Therefore
we might need to call on a Heavenly Language!
5. Building an
edifice. Just like home building,
• “But you, dear friends, build yourselves
up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.” Jude
1:20
• “He who speaks in a tongue edifies
himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.” 1 Corinthians 14:4
• “I thank my God I speak with tongues
more than you all” 1 Corinth.14:18, a glimpse into Paul’s prayer life!
6. Becoming
more like Jesus. The Holy Spirit is
working on us until we “conform” to Romans 8:27,28,29:
• “And he who searches our hearts knows the
mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in
accordance with God's will.” v.27
• “And we know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his
purpose.” v.28
• “For those God foreknew he also predestined
to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brothers.” v.29
Are
we in Partnership?
7. Are we in a Supportive
Partnership between God, Us, and His precious Holy Spirit?
• Who
is praying for us? “Who is he that
condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at
the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” Romans
8:34
• Jesus is praying for us and the Holy Spirit is
interceding for us. “In the same way,
the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to
pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans
that words cannot express.” Romans
8:26
• Interceding is arguing or intervening for
us. We are co-workers with the Holy
Spirit! Hallelujah!
And the Holy Spirit speaks with us with the Language of Heaven! “For through him we both have access to
the Father by one Spirit.” Ephesians 2:18
Points to Ponder
How
powerful is this partnership?
How
to get a heavenly language? ASK Ask, Seek, Knock.
