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:
WE
TOO GROAN WAITING
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also,
which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
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
John 14:16 And I
will pray [future active] the
Father, and he shall give [future active] you another
Comforter [encourager], that
he may abide [present subjunctive] with you for [the] ever [age];
NOT
YET GIVEN
John 7:39 (But this spake he of the (Abba)
Spirit, which they that believe [present
active] on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given;
because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.)
THE HOLY GHOST
John 14:26 But
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name (for the word of God), he shall teach you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said
unto you.
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.
THE
TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL
Colossians 1:5 For the
hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
HOPE
OF GLORY

riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
PARENTAL
GUIDANCE
John 14:18 I will not
leave you comfortless [orfonov, orphaned]: I will come to you.
EXPEDIENT
FOR ME TO LEAVE
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is
expedient for you that I go away: for if
I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but
if I depart, I will send him unto you.
REPROVE
THE WORLD
John 16:8 And when he
(Holy Spirit) is come, he will reprove [rebuke] the world of sin, and of righteousness,

SIN
John 16:9 Of sin,
because they believe [present active] not on me;
THEY

(rulers of the synagogues] shall put
you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth
God service.
BELIEVE
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe [present active] not.
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed [present active participle] not, and who should betray him (Judas did not believe in the
present tense].
SIN
John 9:38-41 And he said, Lord, I believe [present active]. 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.
OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS
John 16:10 Of
righteousness, because I go to
my Father (as high priest), and ye
see me no more;
RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHICH BY FAITH

is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe [present active]: for
there is no difference:
OF
JUDGMENT
John 16:11 Of
judgment, because the prince [ruler]
of this world [Israel] is judged.

was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

THINGS TO SAY

THINGS
TO COME

things to come.

[the one, God v. 3] that searcheth the hearts knoweth [perfect active, have seen]
what is the mind of the
Spirit, because he (the Spirit)

GOD
WILL PERFECT HIS WILL IN US
Hebrews 13:20-21 Now
the God of peace, that brought again
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting [age-lasting] covenant, 21
Make you perfect in every
good work to do his will, working in
you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
