Synchronicity

We pray with limited knowledge and limited resources. The Holy Spirit prays for the things we’re unable to express and that helping ministry of the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us.

“Just like we groan in pain together, likewise the Spirit groans too and He’s groaning in order to identify Himself with us and to help us in our experience,” says Jordan. “That ought to tell you how deeply interested and how personally involved in your life God Himself, because the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, is.

“God the Holy Spirit who indwells you is concerned that you pray correctly. God is intimately involved and active in your life to the point that He even makes intercessions for you when you don’t even know what to pray for with groanings that you couldn’t express. He’s active. He’s that deeply interested and personally involved in your life. You don’t need to forget about that. You need to learn to cry with the spirit, ‘Abba, Father.’ You need to learn to pray as He does.

“He knows what the will of God is. He knows how to pray in tune with it and so He can pray in line with that and give activity to your prayers.

“What are you supposed to pray about? Folks, there is not anything that’s on your heart that God doesn’t want you to come to Him with it. If it’s on your heart, He already knows about it. What He’s after is the communion between you and Him—the openness; the intercourse back and forth.

“Praying in the spirit has to do with praying in line with what the Holy Spirit is praying. You don’t know how God can best be glorified in every given situation in your life, but the Holy Spirit does. You pray in line with what you know the Holy Spirit is doing and He begins to adjust your prayer life to bring about in you synchronization between what you’re praying and what He wants you to pray and that’s an active ministry that the Spirit of God performs in your life.

“Now He doesn’t come back to your head and go, ‘Psst, psst, psst! Pray this instead of that!’ He does it through that capacity that you build up with sound doctrine in your soul.

 “As you exercise that sonship privilege of discernment, living consistent with your position, then you begin to take these details in life and know how to handle them and you know what that winds up being? That’s praying in the Spirit. That’s how prayer operates today.

“If you can see what’s going on in the issue of suffering NOW you can actually—you know ‘endure’ is not the right word and ‘waiting out’ is not the right word. You can REJOICE in the things!”
