People
always want to know a secret, but with God there are no secrets only promises!
Let's look at Romans 8 today, and God's promises to believers.
22 We
know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth
right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have
the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our
adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we
were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they
already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for
it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We
do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind
of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance
with the will of God.
Believers
have a new prayer guide:
A. His
identity - the Holy Spirit
B. His intercession - prays for us when we don’t know what we should pray for
C. His intensity -The Holy Spirit is the power source we need to be plugged in to. Look at:
1. How He prays - in our groaning
2. What He prays - for us to be in harmony with God’s will
B. His intercession - prays for us when we don’t know what we should pray for
C. His intensity -The Holy Spirit is the power source we need to be plugged in to. Look at:
1. How He prays - in our groaning
2. What He prays - for us to be in harmony with God’s will
Believers
have a new confidence.
Romans
8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love
him, who have been called according to his purpose.
What is
God calling you to do today?
Live your life God's way. Amen?
