In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. (Romans 8:26-27). As a Christian, you are not left to your own resources to cope with problems. Even when you don't know the right words to pray, the Holy Spirit prays with & for you, & God answers. With God helping you pray, you don't need to be afraid to come before Him. He wants us to come before Him with confidence. Ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for you. He will do so in accordance with the will of God. Then when you bring your requests to God, trust the He will always do what is best. Note that the Holy Spirit is not a spirit of the world. The world does not know Him. He is not received by the world. He is God in action. To benefit from His ministry, you need to be connected to God through Christ & stay connected. You need to be filled & led by Him. Also note that the Holy Spirit does not force or impose Himself on you. He is GENTLE. He respects your personal will. You need to allow Him to freely operate in your life. How? Surrender totally to God, & daily submit totally to His Word or will. Thank you Jesus. When you are filled & led by the Holy Spirit, your life will produce the fruit of the Spirit - love joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self control.

Intercede for the saints today. Fill us & lead us. We assure you that we will cooperate with you by submitting to the Word of God in total. We will follow your promptings & leading at all times. Release an outpouring of the Spirit today in the church worldwide & continue with the great revival that you have just started. Thank you Holy Spirit. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. God bless you all.

I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles.
