Professed spiritual contacts and direct faith

with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should

pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which

cannot be uttered. [27] Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints

according to the will of God.
