54. The Holy Spirit and Prayer: Interceding on Our Behalf Nov 13, 2024

Show notes

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26-27)

Romans 8:26-27 teaches that the Holy Spirit helps believers in their weakness, especially when they don’t know how to pray. The Spirit intercedes on their behalf with unspoken groanings, communicating their deepest needs to God. Because the Spirit’s intercession aligns perfectly with God’s will, believers can be assured that their prayers, even when imperfect, are heard and transformed into petitions that glorify God and fulfill His purposes.

Just as the faint whisper in the forest requires intentional stillness and focus to hear, listening to the Holy Spirit calls for a similar posture of the heart. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. (Isaiah 30:21 ) Listening to the Holy Spirit refers to the act of spiritually discerning and responding to the guidance, conviction, and truth revealed by the Spirit of God.

And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. (Ezekiel 36:27)

Just like a microphone needs power to function and make the speaker’s voice heard, we as believers need the power of the Holy Spirit to live out our faith and amplify God’s message to the world. Without His presence and strength, our efforts fall short. It’s the Spirit’s power that enables us to be transformed, so we can reflect Christ’s character, live in holiness, and be effective witnesses of God’s love and truth.
Theological Definition: This refers to the active, divine influence of the Holy Spirit in believers, bringing about spiritual new birth, sanctification, and transformation into the likeness of Christ. In Christian theology, this concept emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is not only the source of God’s power and presence but also the agent of transformation, working in believers to convict them of sin, regenerate their hearts, produce godly character (the fruit of the Spirit), and empower them for service and witness. ; If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. (Romans 8:11)

51. The Holy Spirit: Our Comforter Nov 08, 2024

Jesus promised that even though He would no longer be physically with us, we would not be left on our own. In John 14:16, He says, And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever. Here, the Greek word translated as “Helper” or “Comforter” is Parakletos, meaning “one who comes alongside.” This is the Spirit’s role in our lives—one who guides, strengthens, and comforts us, even in our darkest moments.
Theologically, the Holy Spirit as Comforter means He is our divine helper, advocate, and sustainer. As Puritan pastor Thomas Watson wrote, “The Spirit is called the Comforter because it is His special office to give consolation to us in our trials, to draw the soul closer to Christ, and to seal God’s love in our hearts.” The Spirit’s comfort is deep and lasting, drawing us closer to Jesus and filling us with the assurance of God’s unchanging love.

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. (John 16:13 )
John Piper; “The role of the Holy Spirit is to awaken us to see the glory of Christ, to guide us in all truth, and to sustain our faith when trials come.” (Desiring God by John Piper, p. 67.)
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground! (Psalm 143:10)

He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. (1 Timothy 6:15-16)
R.C. Sproul states: “When we say ‘Jesus is King,’ we are declaring that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. Every knee will bow to Him, either now in reverence or in the future at judgment.” (R.C. Sproul, “The Holiness of God”) All the kings mentioned in the Old Testament and in the modern age will bow before Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon states this about Christ as King: “If Christ be King, He has dominion over our hearts and lives. Every Christian is called to bow to Him in every area, recognizing no higher authority than the King of kings.” (Charles H. Spurgeon, Sermon #508, “The King’s Highway Opened and Cleaned)

Today, November 5th, marks a monumental day for the United States and the world. Candidates have been campaigning for years for this moment and the presidency is in the balance. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. (Psalm 103:19)
All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, ‘What have you done?’ (Daniel 4:35)
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. (Proverbs 19:21)

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Tim Keller states, “Jesus didn’t just live a good life—He lived a perfect life. He is the only human being to ever live fully in alignment with God’s design. His sinlessness not only shows us what a perfect life looks like but also provides the very righteousness we need to stand before a holy God.” — The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism, by Timothy Keller, p. 231
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15) His sinlessness means that He is the only one who can bridge the gap between a holy God and sinful humanity. Jesus’s perfect life uniquely qualifies Him to be our advocate before God, offering us a confidence that, through Him, we are fully accepted.

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. (Hebrews 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-3, 14)

There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. (1 Samuel 2:2) This verse is part of Hannah’s prayer of praise after the birth of her son, Samuel. It reflects the strength, holiness, and faithfulness of God, portraying Him as the one true and unshakable Rock.
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. (Matthew 7:24-25)
May you and build our lives on the Rock that Is Jesus Christ!
