He
is the Spirit of grace and supplication (Zechariah Chapter 12 verse 10, Luke
Chapter 2 verse 40, and Romans Chapter 8 verses 26 to 28).
All
the intercessors mentioned in the Bible had the Holy Spirit without measure.
That is why they prayed the purposes of God and His perfect will. Jesus, the
perfection of intercession and the perfect intercessor was and is full of the
Holy Spirit. Please see Isaiah Chapter 11 verse 2, Matthew Chapters 1 verse 20;
3 verse 16, 4 verse 1, Luke Chapters 1 verse 35; 4 verses 18 to 19, Romans
Chapter 8 verse 34, Hebrews Chapter 7 verse 25.
The
Apostle Paul, a great man of prayer, writing by the Holy Spirit instructed believers
to pray without ceasing. Please see 1st Thessalonians Chapter 5
verse 17, Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 18; thereby reiterating what Jesus taught
in Luke Chapter 18 verse 1. Beloved, PRAY! PRAY!! PRAY!!!; NOT BY MIGHT BUT BY
THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
Anna
the prophetess spent her days and nights in prayers and fasting. Significantly,
the Bible does not record that Anna was praying for her children or properties.
She was widowed at a young age yet she spent her days and nights interceding
for the kingdom of God; the plans and purposes of God; the perfect will of God
to be established. Prophetess Anna was able to do this because she was filled
with the Spirit of grace and supplication and she also respected and honored
the Spirit of grace and supplication. Please see Luke Chapter 2 verses 36 to
37.
So
also was Simeon who recognized Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. Please see Luke
Chapter 2 verses 25 to 32.
