The Spirit's Help in Prayer to God-Rom 8:26-27

The Lord Jesus told His disciples that He would send the Holy Spirit, who would not speak of Himself, but would testify of Christ (Jn 15:26), and would take of the things that are Christ's and minister them to us, glorifying Christ and showing us the divine things that are in Christ (Jn 16:14). It is thus that He helps our infirmities, teaching us to pray as we ought. We are born of the Spirit into the family of God; we are baptized of the Spirit into the body of Christ; we are indwelt of the Spirit, our bodies becoming His temple; we are sealed of the Spirit until the day of redemption. In addition to all the various works of the Holy Spirit, it is possible for us to be filled with the Spirit for all needs of companionship, guidance, and fullness of power. So when Christians are desirous of praying according to God's will, yet wonder "What should I pray for? How should I pray? Can I pray with confidence, 'claiming' things by faith? Or do I have to make my prayers tentative, adding always, 'If it be your will?' What happens if I pray wrongly? Can prayer do harm? Does prayer get God to change His mind? Can it change God's plans? If not, does it even matter if I pray?" Take heart, dear believer, for we have help in this area, the help of the Holy Spirit, which is a great help indeed. Join us Sunday as we look at "The Spirit's Help in Prayer to God"-v26-27 in this ongoing study of LIFE IN THE SPIRIT (Romans 8).
