Someone Knows Your Heart, God’s Will Is Being Your Go Between

When God says something one time, we need to pay attention. When He says it twice in the same breath, we need to sit up and pay attention. Romans 8:26-27 is just such a case. Note how these two verses describe God the Spirit.

26 “Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;”

27 “and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”

Did you note how God the Spirit is described two times as One who intercedes for us?

Yes, first, Paul explains that the Spirit helps us by being an intercessor between us and God the Father.

Second, he explains that the Spirit searches our heart and as our “go between” intercessor prays for us according to the will of God.

If you ever have times you are burdened, confused, or at a loss about what to pray, quiet your heart in God’s presence.

Rest assured that the Holy Spirit, who is in you, will take the reins and intercede for you with groanings too deep for words.

Holy One, what joy and peace there is knowing that You are our INTECESSOR. Thank You for searching our hearts and INTERCEDING for us with groanings too deep for words.

The Holy Spirit is an intercessor and a helper for believers. To deepen your understanding of the Spirit, listen to Debbie’s podcast teaching: “Listen UP! 31 Points Every Christian Should Know About the Holy Spirit.”
