Holy Spirit – Day 11 – Intercessor, Advocate
Intercessor, Advocate
Romans 8:26,27 “So too the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf…because the Spirit intercedes and pleads before God in behalf of the saints…”
I often feel at a loss for words when I pray. Sometimes my weakness is so great that I don’t feel worthy to speak to my heavenly Father. And at other times the burden for someone’s situation is so heavy that I don’t know how to put my thoughts into sentences. The Holy Spirit knows exactly what prayer needs to be offered. He goes before the Father Himself and prays on our behalf, bringing every need before the throne of grace, pleading. Isn’t that wonderful? The Spirit of God who knows all things, who created us, who works His mighty power in the earth, is praying for us!
The way the Holy Spirit prays for the believers is according to and in harmony with God’s will. He will always stay within the will and purpose of God for our lives. This is followed by another wonderful promise that gives so much hope: all things work together and are fitting into a plan for good to and for those who love God and are called according to His design and purpose. This, dear friend, is what the Holy Spirit is affecting for us when He prays on our behalf!
Prayer: Holy Spirit, Comforter and ever-present Friend, thank You for making intercession for me when I am weak. You are so good and kind and powerful! Please make me more aware of Your presence in my life. Amen
We would love to pray with you prayer@womenoftheword.co.za
