When you seem to be surrounded… and everything around you seems bigger than you are… when you do not even know how to pray… know that the Holy Spirit is praying for you and speaking your destiny into being. The Passion Translation says, ‘The Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf.’
When He prays, He speaks with clarity, authority and boldness… The way most translations translate ‘with groanings that cannot be uttered’ is really confusing - the translation comes from two Greek words… ‘stenagmos’ and ‘aláletos’ – the contextual translation of these words is… ‘Spirit gushing utterance of the heart.’ In other words, the Holy Spirit gushes forth Spirit words from His heart, super-interceding on your behalf. He (the Holy Spirit) makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God… The Holy Spirit stands in the gap and gushes forth utterance that brings to pass the will of God for you and I… He literally speaks His plan for us into existence through deep intercession.
In the light of that, we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose… because the Holy Spirit is bringing it to pass through His intercession. If God is for us, who can be against us?
There are times when believers get themselves in a mess, times when we as believers get off track, there are even times when believers get deceived by the devil… in times like that we may find ourselves surrounded by mountains that are too big for us to climb… in times like that, remind yourself that, in spite of your mistakes, in spite of your circumstances, that the Holy Spirit is super-interceding for you! He is calling things that be not as though they were, He is summonsing angels, raising up prayer warriors to pray for you, pouring out grace upon you and commanding a path of blessing ahead of you… He is making a way where there is no way, so REST in Him! TRUST Him! God is for you! He is working all things together for your good! Your test shall be a testimony! Your battle shall be a victory! Your trial shall be a triumph, in Jesus Name!
Blessings on you, Nick
