Romans 8

God Interceding for Me

  1. God’s Victory for Me
We know and understand this victory because of the Holy Spirit.
References - Romans 1:1 ff and Romans 1:37-39
Law of the Spirit set us free from sin and death - 2
Jesus condemned sin and death in us. - 3
His righteous requirement is fulfilled in those who walk in the Spirit - 4
He who sets his mind on the Spirit has life and peace - 6
The Holy Spirit dwells in us - 9
The Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to the mortal bodies of those who have the Spirit dwelling in them -11
Those led by the Spirit of God are sons of God - 14
We receive the Spirit of adoption and call God “Abba Father!” - 15
The Spirit bears witness with ours that we are children of God - 16
We become heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ - 17
We are more than conquerors - 37
Nothing will ever separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord - 39

2.      The Spirit Prays for Me
         For we do not know how to pray as we ought - 26
         (victory may come from endurance, not escape)
         (victory may come  from courage, not comfort)
         Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, 26

          God is never surprised about anything that happens to us.
          God’s intercession never fails.
          God’s perspective about our problems and the dark places
          we find ourselves should become our perspective because
          his Spirit lives in us.
          We are never alone in our praying.
          We never pray by ourselves.
