2Romans 826-28
26 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. 27 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. 28 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.
3Romans 826
26 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. Man is a multi-part being
body, soul, spirit The Christian also has the
Holy Spirit dwelling in them.
4Romans 826
When we are in pain (physical, emotional, or
spiritual) We don't know WHAT to pray for We
don't know HOW to pray We can only groan and
sigh Our spirit takes our groans and intercedes
for us
5Romans 826
NOTE This is not the Holy Spirit because 1
This spirit can not express itself in words. 2
However, the Holy Spirit can speak expressly. (2
Timothy 41) 3 Notice WHO is groaning fleshly
self 4 Who is interceding ? Our spirit 5 How
does our spirit do this ? See the next verse.
6Romans 827
27 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. 1 Our spirit searches our heart 2
Our spirit knows our mind 3 Our spirit makes
intercession for our body in pain and anguish
7Romans 827
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died,
and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the
right hand of God, who also makes intercession
for us. Romans 834 5 For there is one God and
one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ
Jesus, 1 Timothy 25 Jesus is the ONLY
mediator. The Holy Spirit is not involved in
intercession and prayer.
8Romans 827
Foy E. Wallace, Jr., A Review of the New
Versions, page 416 - The Spirit of this
passage that makes intercession with groans that
cannot be uttered is the human sprit. The context
of the two verses indicates clearly that the
groaning is done by the sprit of the one who is
praying. The word groanings indicates yearning
our own sprit groans with yearning which we
cannot utter, which we cannot make vocal, or put
into words.
9Romans 827
Alexander Campbell, Millennial Harbinger ,
Vol. 1, page 111 I say, then, the spirit
itself speaks for us to God it intercedes for
our deliverance by groans which cannot be
expressed in words. For although our spirit
groans under these bodily afflictions and
infirmities, and cannot give utterance to its own
desires yet when patiently bearing these
trials, its groans have a meaning which is
understood.
10Romans 828
28 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. V ery I mportant
