Romans 8 - Praying God's Word

Please read Romans 8.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/rom/8/1/s_1054001

Meditate on verses 14-16.

For all who are being led by the

 Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

For you have not received a spirit of

slavery, leading to fear again,

but you have received a spirit of adoption

 as sons by which we cry out,

 “Abba! Father!”

The Spirit Himself testifies with

 our spirit that we are children of God.

One of the greatest gifts of being a Christian is becoming one of God’s children. When Pentecost took place, the Holy Spirit started making Christians (Acts 1-2). They were a new type of creation (James 1:18). Their spiritual DNA changed, and they became new beings—children of God.

As God’s child, you have access to Him. He wants you to draw near to Him. God doesn’t want you to be nervous, but to come boldly to Him (Hebrews 10:19-22). What an incredible privilege you have! You can confidently be in the presence of God, calling Him “Daddy.” Amazing!

Pray Romans 8:26-28, asking the LORD to intercede for you and those you love.

“Holy Spirit, help me in my weakness,

 for I do not know how to pray as I should.

Thank You that You intercede for _______ and me

 with groanings too deep for words.

 LORD, You search hearts and know

 what the mind of the Spirit is.

 Please intercede for the saints

according to Your will, God.

We know You cause all things

 to work together for good

 to those who love You, to those who

are called according to Your purpose.

Thank You, in Your name, Jesus ~”
