IS THERE A SPECIFIC WAY TO PRAY about each instance that comes
into your life that will remove every obstacle and foil the enemy’s strategies
against you in that situation? A phrase in Romans 8:26 sheds some light on that
question: “… for we know not what we should pray for AS WE OUGHT….” That phrase
“we ought” comes from the Greek word DEI, which means NECESSARY. Thus, this
phrase refers to something that MUST be a certain way. So this part of verse 26
could be translated, “…We do not know how to pray according to the need, as is
necessary to pray, or as that need exactly demands.”
Some needs demand a different kind of prayer. And this verse
here says that without the Holy Spirit’s cooperation in prayer, we don’t know
how to pray as each need demands. But thank God, His Spirit comes to remove our
weaknesses and to HELP us in our inadequacy to know what to pray!
How does the Holy Spirit
actually help us? We know from the word “helpeth” that He partners with us in
prayer, grabbing hold of the obstacle and pushing against it in conjunction
with us to remove that satanic blockade. I’ll share a little more later about
how the Holy Spirit partners with us in prayer in other languages-- but today I
just wanted to give you something to THINK ABOUT! – Rick Renner
