Paul says the Holy Spirit helps us to pray. “...the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groans which cannot be uttered. Now, He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” [1]
The Holy Spirit is an intercessor. If we want to pray for others, let the Holy Spirit empower and lead us. Paul says that He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Dr. E. Stanley Jones wrote, “In prayer you align yourselves to the purpose and power of God and He is able to do things through you that He could not do otherwise.”
Richard C. Trench wrote, “Prayer is not getting man's will done in heaven but getting God's will done on earth. It is not overcoming God's reluctance but laying hold of God's willingness.”
Hans Von Staden wrote, “When man works man works, but when man prays, God works.”
Dwight L. Moody wrote, “Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure.”
[1] Romans 8:26

Praying for Others
The Lord Jesus has graced me with revelations from the Book of Jeremiah that are helpful to better understanding the relevance of the Law, the Prophets, the Gospel, the Apostles, and the Book of Revelation. I am in the midst of preparing 54 video-recorded presentations, one for each chapter of Jeremiah, plus an intro and conclusion presentation. When the presentations are done, I plan to publish them on YouTube. I also welcome invitations to share these revelations in-person. In the meantime, I publish articles online, intercede for the peoples of the nations, and say to the Lord, “Here am I Lord, send me.”
