Lesson 5
Praying in the Spirit
“And in the same way the Spirit also helps
our weaknesses; for we do not know how
to pray as we should, but the Spirit
Himself intercedes for us with groanings to
deep for words; and he who searches our
hearts knows the mind of the Spirit is,
because He intercedes for the saints
according to the will of God.” Romans
8:26-27

GOD’S SEEKS
INTERCESSORS
“And he saw that there was no man, and
wondered that there was no intercessor.”
Isaiah 59:16
“I chose you, and appointed you, that ye
should go and bear fruit; that whatsoever
ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He
may give it to you.”
John 25:16
See the need…
• Thirty millions every year passing into the outer
darkness without hope.
• Fifty million, bearing the Christian name, and the
great majority living in utter ignorance and
indifference
• Churches and mission sacrificing life and labor
often with little result
• Nations crying out to be released from the pains
of poverty and abuse of authority
• And so much more…
Look for the only answer…
• He is a God who is looking for people who
would ‘co-labor’ with Him for His Kingdom
to come on the Earth. He is looking for
people who would spend time on their
knees to seek Him and His kingdom to
come. God is looking for the intercessors.
Respond to the call…
• It takes one encounter with God to
respond to the call like Samuel,
Nehemiah, Elijah
• It takes daily encounters with God to stay
at it.
Use the power…
“Let us make man in our image, in our
likeness, and let them rule over the fish of
the sea and the birds of the air, over the
livestock, overall the earth, and over all
the creatures that move along the ground.
”
Genesis 1:26- 27
Use the power…
“And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us with Him in the heavenly realms
in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming
ages he might show the incomparable
riches of his grace, expressed in his
kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:6
YOU are the BRIDGE
between history and
HIS STORY.
-Kris Valloton
“I looked for a man among
them who would build up the
wall and stand before me in
the gap on behalf of the
land so I would not have to
destroy it, but I found none.”
Ezekiel 22: 30
