Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz respond to Dutch Sheets claim that the Holy Spirit wants to “direct our prayers” and “take hold” of temporal situations together with us. They show that the context of Romans 8:26 is the eternal, not the temporal, and that we do not need to gain special revelations to gain a desired outcome in temporal situations. This section of Romans 8 is about being conformed to the image of Christ, which is eternal, and we can trust that the Holy Spirit is interceding for us.
This is part 34 of a critique of Intercessory Prayer by Dutch Sheets, Bethany House, 1996.
