Super Intercession
And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words. God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.
Romans 8:26-27
Sometimes it is lost on me how powerful speaking in tongues really is. In this passage Paul says the Holy Spirit “Super” intercedes for us. There is a lot of weight to that. We know that praying in the Spirit:
Edifies us. Builds us up.
Helps us pray mysteries
Builds up our holy faith
Pray from a heavenly perspective
Gets the rational mind out of the way and pray from the Spirit.
