Romans 8:26 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.
- Helpeth are the three Greek words: sun anti lambano.
These three words means to meet face to face in order to for one to receive something from the other,
- Helpeth our infirmities– The Greek tells us that the Holy Spirit comes face to face with us to take a hold together or receive from us our frailties, needs or problems.
27 And he that searcheth ( ereunaoo) the hearts knoweth( INTUITIVELY) what is the mind (FOCUS and MINDSET) of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession (entugchano) for the saints according to the will of God.
- Searcheth: ereunaoo: To sound out like sonar hits the depths of the ocean.
The Holy Spirit then searches the depths of God to know His will.
We see this same word in the following verse.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth (ereunaoo) all things, yea, the deep things of God.
So the Holy Spirit by His grace takes a hold of our needs and shows us the will of God for them.
The catch is that everything is done by the voice of the Spirit and not our own will or emotions.
- The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us – Greek: (entugchano)
27 And he that searcheth ( ereunaoo) the hearts knoweth( INTUITIVELY) what is the mind (FOCUS and MINDSET) of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession (entugchano) for the saints according to the will of God.
- Tugchano– To hit the bull’s eye, or “To hit the target above and beyond what is normal.” To do the right thing and do it with skill.”
Thus in intercession in the Holy Spirit, He takes our needs and reveals to us the will of God for them as He searches out God’s depths.
The revealed will of God is always spot on, or hits the bull’s eye.
So when we intercede in the Spirit and do what the Holy Spirit speaks to us, we always hit the bull’s eye in our prayers. It’s impossible to miss.
