INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
Insights From "Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!" by Donnie Swaggart - Chapter 610/28/2020 "THE SPIRIT MAKES INTERCESSION"
Romans 8:26, 27 "TRIALS & AFFLICTIONS" "All believers face problems & difficulties each day. However, there are problems & then there are great trials & afflictions that Satan brings against us." "This is where this great help of the Holy Spirit aids us." "LIKEWISE THE SPIRIT ALSO HELPS" "In the Greek the word help means 'the action of a person coming to another's aid by taking hold over against that person of the load he is carrying.'" "...the Holy Spirit has been given to us in order to help us carry the burdens & afflictions that Satan engineers against us." John 14:16 "Comforter in the Greek is parakletos, meaning 'one called alongside of another to help.' While the Holy Spirit doesn't necessarily remove the problem, He certainly does make the load lighter." "OUR INFIRMITIES" "Infirmities mean 'want of strength, or weakness.'" "...Paul is primarily speaking of the weakness of prayer. The thing that Satan has brought against us is so great that we don't even know how to pray about it. We are weak in even knowing how to articulate the request or petition in prayer." "FOR WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE SHOULD PRAY FOR AS WE OUGHT" "...the statement really reads, 'For we know not THE WHAT we should pray as we ought.'" "The word ought speaks of what is necessary in the nature of the case for which we are to pray." "BUT THE SPIRIT HIMSELF MAKES INTERCESSION" "...the wonderful help of the Holy Spirit. We don't know what to do, but He does. We don't know what to pray, but He does." "As one prays in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who is God, knows exactly how the petition is to be worded & how to bring the need before the Lord. In our limitations we don't know how, but praise God, the Holy Spirit does!" "WITH GROANINGS WHICH CANNOT BE UTTERED" "Groanings refer to a burden of prayer, which comes straight from the heart & cannot really be put into words. It's a cry from deep within." "Being God, everything the Holy Spirit does & prays is 'according to the will of God' (vs. 27)." "Beloved, you don't have to carry the load of satanic attack. The Holy Spirit is our helper & our intercessor." Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!, Donnie Swaggart, pgs. 45 - 50.
