1 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don t even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

2 Prayer in the Dark 8:26-27

3 ROMANS Gospel of Righteousness DOCTRINAL NATIONAL PRACTICAL

4 ROMANS (The Gospel Revealed) I. The Gospel Revealed in Condemnation (1-3) II. The Gospel Revealed in Justification (3-5) III. The Gospel Revealed in Sanctification (6-8) IV. The Gospel Revealed in Sovereign Choice (9-11) V. The Gospel Revealed in Transformed Life (12-16)

5 7 GLORIOUS TRUTHS FROM ROMANS 8 1. Our New Position Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are IN CHRIST JESUS... Romans 8:1 (NIV)

6 7 GLORIOUS TRUTHS FROM ROMANS 8 2. Our New Life But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all)... Romans 8:9 (NLT)

7 7 GLORIOUS TRUTHS FROM ROMANS 8 3. Our New Family For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that WE ARE GOD S CHILDREN... Romans 8:16 (NLT)

8 7 GLORIOUS TRUTHS FROM ROMANS 8 4. Our New Hope And even we Christians, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as fortaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, WAIT ANXIOUSLY FOR THAT DAY... Romans 8:23-24 (NLT)

9 7 GLORIOUS TRUTHS FROM ROMANS 8 5. Our New Prayer But the HOLY SPIRIT PRAYS FOR US... Romans 8:26 (NLT)

10 7 GLORIOUS TRUTHS FROM ROMANS 8 6. Our New Knowledge 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... Romans 8:28 (NIV)

11 7 GLORIOUS TRUTHS FROM ROMANS 8 7. Our New Confidence What can we say about such wonderful things as these? IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN EVER BE AGAINST US?... Romans 8:31 (NLT)

12 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don t even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God s own will. Romans 8:26-27 (NLT)

13 Reasons Why the Holy Spirit Helps Us in Our Praying 1. Because of our weakness (distress)....he prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. Luke 22:44 (NLT)

14 Reasons Why the Holy Spirit Helps Us in Our Praying 2. Because we do not know what to pray....even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. 8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9 Each time he said, My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 (NLT)

15 Reasons Why the Holy Spirit Helps Us in Our Praying 3. Because we do not know how to pray. One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples. Luke 11:1 (NIV)

16 Reasons Why the Holy Spirit Helps Us in Our Praying 4. Because the Holy Spirit groans for/with us in prayer. In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself... Romans 8:26 (NASB)

17 Reasons Why the Holy Spirit Helps Us in Our Praying 5. Because the Holy Spirit prays in God s will. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God s own will. Romans 8:27 (NLT) Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere. Ephesians 6:18 (NLT)

18 5 Prayer Basics ( How to Pray Problem) 1. We first must confess and cleanse our hearts. If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. Psalm 66:18 (NLT)

19 5 Prayer Basics ( How to Pray Problem) 2. We must abide in Christ. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15:17 (NASB)

20 5 Prayer Basics ( How to Pray Problem) 3. We must pray as the Holy Spirit leads. But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit... Jude 20 (NLT)

21 5 Prayer Basics ( How to Pray Problem) 4. We must pray in the authority (name) of Christ. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! John 14:13-14 (NLT)

22 5 Prayer Basics ( How to Pray Problem) 5. We must pray in the will of God. And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. 15 And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for. 1 John 5:14-15 (NLT)
