“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
God desires us to be equipped with revelation knowledge and spiritual understanding in all things. He, like any good father, desires that all things are, and will work together for our good. Yet, it doesn’t happen just because we’re born again, or because we’ve been forgiven of our sins. Those are the doors to the Kingdom. And there is an entirely new life to be lived using the principles of God’s Kingdom.
Many believers are like the person who’s looking up to the top of a mountain and continually saying, “Wow, I would love to get to the top of this mountain!
Well, if you really want to get there, have you checked with the park rangers who are familiar with the trails that lead to the top of the mountain? Have you taken time to seek out others who have made it to the top and get some inside scoops to the best campsites and rest areas, and other things to be aware of?
The Holy Spirit is an excellent guide into the things of the Kingdom of God. He also knows all about us – like our strengths and weaknesses, which is one of the reasons we need the Holy Spirit so desperately in order to avail ourselves of the beautiful, majestic and multifaceted ministries of the powerful Holy Spirit!
Romans 8:26 says, 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.
One thing to understand about the Holy Spirit in this intercessory ministry is that He intercedes for us, but not without us! This is understood in the compound Greek word that is translated ‘helpeth’ in the King James Bible, which is sunantilamanomai, which means the intercessory ministry of the Holy Spirit is actually a partnership with us as we pray with groanings that cannot be uttered in articulate speech (Google: PC Nelson Romans 8:26), which is a direct reference to praying in tongues.
If you have not received this amazing and exciting gift of the Holy Spirit, a dedicated study of the New Testament scriptures can settle all questions and bring you into these glorious facets of the Holy Spirit’s ministries and gifts in order to enjoy a life where all things work together for good to those who love God, and are called according to His purpose, and His purpose is that we “…be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” (Col. 1:9)
If you feel like things aren’t working in your life the way the Bible says they can… Remember – He’s the Helper. He’s not the Do-It-For-You-er! There are preparations to get you to the top of the mountain, and there also preparations to receiving the promises of God in your life. God is always with you and for you, and He wants to take you all the way there!
With Love,
Pastor Tom
