divine intercession

[hal]

I had a discussion with a friend about the Holy Spirit interceding for us through our prayer language. She said one member of the Trinity would not pray to another.
How can I answer her?

I wouldn't exactly say that Hal, Why do Catholics pray to Mary, Joeseph, and All the saints to intercede in our prayers ?
We as christian can pray to God, Christ, The Holy Spirit, any of the many Saints, to intercede for us. The Bible instructs us not to have any other gods before him. I was raised in the Roman Catholic church and we had what seemed to be an endless list of saints that we asked to act as intercessors to bring our prayers to Gods throne. I hope this helps.

Not sure exactly what you mean. We all know that Jesus prayed to the Father.

The question was whether the indwelling Holy Spirit could through tongues intercede (pray) for us.

I always thought tongues was a prayer language that satan couldn't touch

 

[Lottedah]

its called intercession when the holy spirit takes over and you speak in tongues yes its an intercession. There is no other way to pray without ceasing

As for interceding it can also bring on trevail which is groaning and grunts and crying..

The Holy Spirit does not intercede or can it. It is not it's place. It pray's (in the perfect will of the father)and moves in power. Jesus is the only interceder Heb. 7-25 He is the only mediator 1 Tim. 2-5. Let's put it this way, you have the right to put a petition on the mercy seat by pray. Small i intercede, the BIG I Jesus picks up the petition and Intercede to the Father on it. The Holy Spirit is not spoken of in Romans 8 it's the Spirit of Christ and the Father. I hope that this thead takes off so that we can learn the ways of the Hollies of holy.

 

[hal]

Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

I understand that chap. very well hal. I do not see the word Holy in the ver. Paul talks about Christ Spirit and the Father Spirit but not the Holy Spirit in that chap.
