The Interceding Spirit

THE INTERCEDING SPIRIT

Verse 26 reveals that the Spirit is also the inter ceding Spirit. Inwardly, the Spirit is constantly interceding for us. We may think that we alone are praying, only to discover that our prayer actu ally comes from the indwelling Spirit. Because we are one with Him and the Spirit is mingled with our spirit, we cannot always discern what is of us and what is of Him. As 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, "he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit." When we pray, He prays, and when He prays, we also pray. Thus, our prayer is His prayer, and His prayer is ours.

THE ULTIMATE ISSUE

According to verse 29, God's only begotten Son has become the Firstborn among many broth ers. This is the issue of the dispensation of the Triune God into us. This dispensation makes us the many sons of God, the many brothers of the Firstborn. These many sons of God and many brothers of the Firstborn are the members which constitute the Body of Christ. Therefore, the ulti mate issue of the dispensation of the Triune God is to produce sons to be the members which con stitute the Body of Christ. This is God's way to

fulfill His eternal purpose. His purpose is accom plished neither by teaching nor by organization, but by the dispensing of Himself as the processed Triune God into our being.
