Prayer is the most precious privilege God has given to us as His children. Prayer is God’s invitation to shut out the world and have a time of personal, intimate communion with Him.

True prayer links our lives with God’s omnipotent power. When we pray, God moves into action to empower us to accomplish His will in and through our lives.

Romans 8:26-34

“Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered . Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God . And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. “Moreover, whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? I t is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us .”

Notice the TWO INTERCESSORS:

The Lord Jesus serves as our COUNSELOR before God – John 14:16 – “I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Comforter , to be with you forever.” “Another Comforter” – i.e., of the same kind. Jesus had been with them up to that point, but the Father would send them “another comforter” just like Him, who would be with them forever.

The Spirit serves as the COUNSELOR to man – John 14:16: –

– “I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, to be with you forever.”

Romans 8:11-16:

“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”

Romans 8:26-27:

“Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
