26/40 Days of Priesthood
Praying Power
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8 is a pivotal chapter in Paul's letter to the Romans, and it is a culmination of his argument about the transformative power of the Gospel.
In chapter eight Apostle Paul contrasts the old life of slavery to sin (Romans 7) with the new life of freedom and empowerment through the Holy Spirit. Those that are in Christ Jesus are no longer condemned to death, but are instead set free to live a life of joy, peace, and hope.
Romans 8:26, in particular, highlights the Holy Spirit's role in helping us pray. The human being has an abundance of weaknesses, he struggles with the direction of God for his life. Sometimes he prays, his praying is misguided; and thus the Spirit of God comes and helps to pray.
When you can’t pray; depend on the power of the Holy Ghost that is resident in you to pray. If we are to look and interrogate the very priesthood of believers; you will discover that a new testament believer has priesthood activities originate in and end in God. Our prayers and sacrifices are fueled by the Spirit of life that is in Christ
