Charles Finney emphasizes the vital role of the Holy Spirit in prayer, explaining how the Spirit intercedes for believers, helping them to pray according to God's will, especially in times of ignorance about what to pray for. He outlines the nature of the Holy Spirit's influence, the necessity of fervent prayer, and the importance of recognizing and not grieving the Spirit. Finney encourages believers to seek the Spirit's guidance actively and to maintain a deep awareness of the spiritual state of themselves and others, as this leads to effective prayer and a fruitful Christian life.

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the profound mystery and power of prayer, highlighting the role of the Holy Spirit as our Advocate who intercedes for us when we are unsure of our needs or how to pray. He explains that the Holy Spirit reveals our true needs, awakens holy desires, and lays burdens on our hearts, guiding us in prayer and teaching us to pray in accordance with God's will. Simpson reassures us that through the Trinity's cooperation, our prayers are presented to God with divine understanding, and encourages believers to trust in the Spirit's guidance and to approach prayer with faith and expectation. He concludes by reminding us that prayer is not just about asking but also about listening, waiting, and responding to God's will.

Mike Bickle emphasizes the profound role of the Holy Spirit in prayer, highlighting that the Spirit intercedes for us in our weaknesses, enabling us to connect with God in a deeper way. He challenges the notion that prayer is merely a necessary task, presenting it instead as a vital expression of the resurrection life that believers are called to experience both now and in eternity. Bickle encourages the church to embrace a 'forerunner ministry,' which involves laboring for future breakthroughs while remaining grounded in present realities. He illustrates this with examples from biblical figures like Noah and David Brainerd, who exemplified the spirit of prayer and intercession. Ultimately, Bickle calls for a commitment to live in the power of the resurrection, actively seeking the Spirit's help in our prayer lives.
