DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of
intercession for the consecrated heart, highlighting that we have two
Advocates: Jesus, who intercedes for us at God's right hand, and the
Holy Spirit, who prays within us. He explains that we often do not know
how to pray or what to pray for, but the Holy Spirit inspires our
petitions and presents them to God. God, in His loving nature, searches
our hearts to find the Spirit's prayers and answers them, even those we
may not fully understand. Simpson assures us that when we reach our
heavenly home, we will appreciate the depth of love from our Divine
Friend who has interceded for us. This sermon encourages believers to
trust in the Holy Spirit's guidance in prayer.

The Holy Spirit becomes to the consecrated heart the Spirit of
intercession. We have two Advocates. We have an Advocate with the
Father, who prays for us at God's right hand. We also have the Holy
Spirit, the Advocate within who prays in us, inspiring our petitions and
presenting them, through Christ, to God. We need this Advocate. We know
not what to pray for and we know not how to pray as we ought, but He
breathes in the holy heart the desires that we may not always
understand, the, groanings which we could not utter. God understands,
and He, with a loving Father's heart, is always searching our hearts to
find the Spirit's prayer and to answer it.

He finds many a prayer there that we have not discovered, and answers
many a cry that we never understood.

And when we reach our heavenly home and read the records of life, we
shall better know and appreciate the infinite love of that Divine Friend
who has watched within as the Spirit of prayer and breathed out our
every need to the heart of God.
