Derek Thomas: The Intercession of the Spirit

From start to finish, the work of salvation is the work of God and God alone. We are saved because He chooses us, calls us, justifies us, and glorifies us. And every step of the way, the Holy Spirit is interceding for us, guaranteeing that the good purposes of God for us cannot be thwarted. In this session, Derek Thomas considers Romans 8:26-30, expositing the golden chain of salvation and the work of the Holy Spirit in interceding for us. Dr. Thomas demonstrates that all of salvation is a free work of God’s grace and that, because of this, nothing can defeat His plans for our ultimate good and His final glory.

Romans also is my favit best chapter of the whole bible

[@glory1ministries734]

Let me share my spiritual experience concerning the scripture in Romans 8:26. After I got born again in my spirit when I received the Salvation in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, within few days the "groanings" manifested in me. I did groan heavily when I am so touched in my prayer especially when I prayed deeply. It became part of my normal prayer life whenever I was so moved while praying, like pouring out a deepest supplication and gratitude before the LORD. It always manifests when I am praying in the spirit, and sometimes when I worship in the spirit. At its first manifestation I wondered why it happened, for I never heard of it before nor read of it in the Bible (at that time I had read only small portion of the Bible). But later on, I was amazed with exceeding gladness when I found it in the book of Romans. How I was so thankful to The LORD that He gives me such gift of praying in the spirit with groanings. For I know that the Spirit makes intercession for me with groanings when I know not what I should pray for as I ought. And that, I am sure that the Spirit is making intercession for me according to the will of God. This gives me a blessed assurance that The LORD hears my prayers. Thank You so much Father. Thank You. Each time I prayed with groanings, the burden that was in me before is released, and I became refreshed after the prayer. And I know that our merciful and gracious God is doing something good to whomsoever or whatsoever it is due, though I know not what I had prayed for. This kind of prayer was clearly demonstrated and had done a major part when the Lord Jesus raised up Lazarus from the dead. ( John 11:33-44 ) I hope this testimony will give more lights of truth, wisdom and understanding to these scriptures. ( Romans 8:26-27 ) To God be the glory! God bless and graces to all.

Wonderful sermon...Thank you!

[@gutenachricht2228]

Wonderful divine truths.

[@georgegaiennie3747]

That was beautiful.

[@denmart9842]

How comfortable is to give such a message to a gathering like where he is, wonder how he will do in africa or the Amazon's how about chine in the underground church, specially without his suit with the pressure that he might die for being there I don't know just asking?

[@DH-vy8hw]

How would any of us do in such an environment??? Only by God's grace would we hold on!

[@vusimngomezulu2500]

Which people are preaching the good news of the kingdom around the world to all nations like Jesus christ Mathew 4:23,24:14?

[@sherrymoredock4457]

Do you know what we, God's people are? We are the belt of pure Gold around his waist 😅❤️ Daniel 10:5, and Jeremiah 13:11says For as a belt is bound around the waist, so I bound all the people of Israel and all the people of Juda to me, declares the Lord. Amen, Hallelujah!!!🤣😋😇👌👍

[@gerardmiller7364]

Yes, actually according to the bible, in the next war one third of humanity will die in just one hour by fire and brimstone. Revelation chapter 9, v 14 to 19. And again chapter 18v 17. And it's the sixth angel of the revelation.

[@matthiasbrandt1252]

Did you listen to the sermon? It's not about the next war.
