The Ministry Of The Holy Spirit

adminUncategorizedMay 22, 2020 7 Comments0
‘And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.’ Mark 8:12

Today’s Insight: Mark 8:11-13

The Greek word used here for ‘sighed deeply’ means an intense grieving, inaudible prayer, or groan. This is intercession of the Holy Spirit, with groanings that cannot be uttered. Some Spirit-filled Christians believe this means groanings that cannot be uttered in normal speech and that this refers to speaking in tongues. However, this actually refers to a type of intercession different than speaking in tongues.

In John 11:33 and 38, Jesus groaned in the Spirit twice, and in those cases there were no words uttered. It was exactly as the Scripture states, a groaning in the Spirit. Everyone who has the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit has or will have this happen to them. Paul was referring to this in Galatians 4:19 when he spoke of travailing in birth for the Galatians. This groaning of the Holy Spirit is not just a grief but a groan of anger and resistance against Satan’s devices in our lives. Many times, Christians don’t discern this because they think it is just their own grief over the situation. But, this is the Holy Spirit desiring to intercede with us against our problems.

Jesus drew on this ministry of the Holy Spirit. John 11:33 and 38 says, that Jesus groaned in the Spirit twice when He raised Lazarus from the dead. What infirmity did Jesus have that He needed this ministry of the Holy Spirit? Jesus had no sin, but He did have an infirmity. It was His physical mind.

Even a sinless human mind could not comprehend raising a man from the grave after four days. If Jesus needed the Holy Spirit to help Him when He didn’t know how to pray, then this should certainly be an important ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

    What a gift; thanks be to God for this priceless gift of the Holy Spirt !
    As John 14:26 (amplified version) says…
    But the [a]Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.
    Thank you Lord! ??

    The help of the Holy Spirit can not be overemphasised; I have had to fall on the wisdom and strength of the Holy Spirit and continue to do so, so many times in my Life. Like the Pharisees, sometimes when I’m tempted to ask for a sign rather than have faith, this is where “my Helper, my Comforter comes into play.
    This representative of Christ has promised to be with us from the beginning to the end of our journeys in The Lord. As we saw in the scripture for today, sometimes, when we can’t put into words how we feel (our spirit being), He intercedes for us before God the Father – Romans 8:26-27
    Thank you Lord for this wonderful gift.

    Will said, now people want to see before they believe, the bible said in john20:29 blessed are those who who have not seen but yet believe. What a powerful blessing unto us who did not see but yet we believe with our whole heart
