Notes
1. JESUS KNEW
We Would need Help
I want to look at John 14-16, all three of these chapters happened during the last supper.
John 14:16-17
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
John 15:26-27
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
John 16:7-8
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
John 16:12-15
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

2. SUPERNATURAL HELP
Of The Holy Spirit
Romans 8:26–27 NKJV
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.
Infirmities / Weaknesses
Greek Word asthenios – this is a generic term for all kinds of sickness and disease.
Help Greek – synantilambanomai
1. Syn -This word describes a partnership or cooperation. It’s what you do in cooperation with somebody else.
2. Anti -against
3. lambano – Means, I take something or I receive. But in this context it is a strong word
almost a violent word. To seize something and pull it to yourself.
Romans 8:26–27 NKJV
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.
3. ASK
Intersession – To fall into a ditch with someone else. To share emotions and frustrations. A word of rescue; I’m going to get you out of this mess.
