He Helps Our Limitations ~ March 22nd 2022 ( RHAPSODY OF REALITIES EP. 554)

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TUESDAY 22 MARCH 2022 PASTOR CHRIS TOPIC: HE HELPS OUR LIMITATION KEY VERSE: 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). MESSAGE The first part of our theme verse says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought….” Observe that Paul didn’t say we don’t know at all what to pray for; rather, he said we don’t know as we ought to know. So this weakness is that of a limitation of knowledge, but the Holy Spirit helps us out with it. It’s part of His ministry in our lives that we’re to recognize and take advantage of. If you’re ever confronted with situations you don’t have enough details or information about, don’t despair. Trust the Holy Spirit. The Word says the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. In other words, the Holy Spirit stands in the gap and intercedes for you; He takes charge in your behalf, carrying out His intercessory ministry through you. This is so important because the Holy Spirit doesn’t pray on His own. He needs your vocal faculties. For example, the Bible says in Acts 13:2 that as the apostles were praying and fasting, the Holy Ghost said, “...Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” The instruction from the Lord that Barnabas and Saul (who later became Paul) should STUDY: John 14:16 AMPC & Romans 8:26 AMPC
