The Wheatland Mission has never been accused of being Pentecostal. Nevertheless, we are empowered, encouraged, and guided by the Holy Spirit. In the same way that the Holy Spirit was sent to the disciples gathered in Jerusalem, so the Spirit of God, is sent into our lives, our hearts, to pray through and for us.
Jesus invites us to call God Father, and the Holy Spirit, prays to the Father on our behalf.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. – Rom 8:14-17
When our words, and our voice, fail us God’s Spirit speaks on our behalf.
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. 27 And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. – Rom 8:26-27
