So now I feel like I want to take you to Romans 8,
because this is another aspect here, in Romans 8,
of how Holy Spirit wants to help us in our intercession.
He is the power source that births,
all we do is release him through our prayers
and our declarations and our speaking the Word, and obedience.
But Romans 8 is one of those just great... I mean
what do you say, Romans 8?
But Romans 8:26 is, "When we don't know
how to pray as we should, Holy Spirit helps us."
And we may not know what God's will is
but he knows and he prays according to the will of God
and then the next verse, 28 says what?
It's that probably most quoted verse
in the Bible, "All things work together for good".
And of course, I used to make people,
get people upset when I'd say what I'm about to say,
because I'd say, that's the most abused
and misused verse in the Bible.
Because all things don't work together for good.
Nor do all things work together for the good
of those that love God, and called according to His purpose.
They can, and He wants them to, but it's not automatic.
And that gets people upset when I say that
because now I mix theology with English.
But you know what a conjunction does, don't you?
It connects what's about to be said
with what's just been said;
somebody said, “a conjunction makes a junction.”
And that's a good way to remember it.
So he tells us about how the Holy Spirit wants to help us.
And then he says, this is my translation now,
this is my interpretation, and if and when that happens,
all things will work together for the good
of those who love God and are called according.
So what we do with that verse is just anything
bad that happens, we just, so that's our way
of finding hope, or you know, comfort,
it's just all things work together for good.
Well, they don't - they don't.
So we need to understand 26 and seven,
so we can experience 28.
I don't say that, you know, I'm not mocking anybody,
I just say that because I feel like the enemy
will use anything that he can to put something
in us that releases us from responsibility.
Doesn't matter what I do, God's just going to take care of it.
Well, no, that's not how it works.
It's just not how it works.
So it can happen and he wants it to happen.
So when you back up to 26 and seven,
he helps us in our weakness.
I think the King James says infirmity.
That doesn't mean sickness, the word is asthenia,
two words, ah makes it negative, sth,
the root word there is
tehnos, S T E H N O S,
stehnos, austhenos or asthenia means
without strength or ability.
A good way to translate it would be the inability
to produce results, the inability to do something.
So when I am in a situation and as a natural human being,
I don't have the ability or the power to do this,
I am not without help because he comes
to help me in my inability.
And who has not prayed about something,
and felt, humanly speaking,
such an overwhelming sense of, I don't,
I feel powerless, I feel help,
I don't know what to do?
That's very human, and God knows that.
So but he says, in those times when you feel,
Abraham, Sarah, that you have no ability to do this,
I'm going to help you.
Then he goes a step farther and he says,
this verse, one of the reasons we are without ability
to do it, one of those reasons is we don't always know
how to pray as we should.
The word... well, let me comment on that a little bit
before I define the word.
There have been many times,
when I've been asked to pray about something.
Sometimes my own life or a situation I'm facing
and say, Lord, I'm not sure how to pray here.
Sometimes people will ask me to pray for a situation.
And if you don't know that situation well,
questions can come up.
It happens to me frequently.
Now, I don't know if this person they're asking me
to pray for I don't know where they are or their walk,
I don't, maybe there's a bitterness,
or maybe they're fighting God and He's got to do this,
or maybe that's not it, maybe they're okay
in their walk with Him and this needs to happen.
Or maybe they're just a stubborn mess
and He's going to have to get tough with them,
I don't know how to pray.
Because he says we don't know how to pray as we ought...
