Text:  Romans 8:26-27  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.  27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

MINISTRY FOR US

Romans 8:26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth [present middle] our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought [present active, it behoveth]: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession [present active] for us with groanings [here and Acts 7:34, in Egypt (with emotions)] which cannot be uttered.

OUR, WE

Romans 8:16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

ONE OF OUR INFIRMITIES

Romans 11:33-34  O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!  34  For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

DEEP THINGS OF GOD

1 Corinthians 2:9-10  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  10  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God

ANSWERED PRAYER

THE TRUTH

John 14:17  Even the Spirit of [the] truth; whom [which] the world (Israel) cannot receive, because it (Israel) seeth [present active discerneth] him [it] not [emphatic], neither knoweth [present active] him [it]: but ye know [present active] him [it]; for he dwelleth [present active] with [para, beside] you, and [it] shall be in you.

SIN

And he worshipped him.  39  And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world [Israel], that they which see [present active participle] not might see [present active subjunctive]; and that they which see [present active participle (that say they see)] might be made blind.  40  And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?  41  Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say [present active indiciative], We see [present active indicative]; therefore your sin remaineth.
