Day 10 of 10 Days of Prayer
Day 10 of 10 Days of Prayer, Partnering With The Holy Spirit
By: Pastor D. Karl Thomas
“Sense knowledge has gained supremacy over Christianity and dominates it. Civilization has failed because the type of Christianity we have given it has failed. It was a sense-ruled type that was stripped of miracles.” E. W. Kenyon
“The idea of the Spirit held by the average church member is so vague as to be nearly non-existent.” A.W. Tozer
He’s your Helper … your Comforter
“Comforter” (Parakletos):– called to one’s side
Para:– along side of, a close intimate relationship. {Parasite}
Kletos:– pleading with, speaking to, called to discharge an office.
I am the Holy Spirit’s personal calling. He is to come along side me as my personal coach.
John 14:23
“If a person [really] loves Me…We will come to him and make Our home {mone} (abode, special dwelling place) with him.”
A parakletos is like an intimate friend who acts as a personal adviser, such as an aide-de- camp, special consultant or private assistant to an emperor.
He will “abide” with us continuously as He makes His home with us.
We are His place, His “mone” mansion, residence. (I go to prepare a place for you … (Mansion) )
The word used here is intensely personal and relational.
Colossians 1:27 “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Romans 8:26-27
“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. 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.”
Helps (Sunantilambanomai):– to lay hold along with, to strive to obtain with others, help in obtaining to take hold with another. {compound word}
sun:– partnership, joint effort
anti:– against, filled with rage
lambano:– to take to oneself, remove
Position “Sun”:– partnership, joint effort
What we do together. A help that demands my cooperation.
Paul says I will boast in what was done through me by the Spirit
Romans 15:19 “They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God’s Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ”
Passion “anti”:– against, filled with rage
The Holy Spirit is vents an attitude of rage or violence towards our enemies.
Isaiah 59:19
“When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”
Purpose “lambano”:– to take to oneself, remove
He permanently separates us from the weakness.
2 Samuel 10:6 “Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.”
Judges 15:14-15 “Then the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him; … He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.”
Supernatural Partnership
Intercession:– “Huperentugchano” to make intercession for one.
huper:– on behalf
en:– in, with
tugchano:– to hit the mark, to meet
Groanings :– “Stenagmos” to aspirate, to vent deep feelings.
The Holy Spirit comes in and blows his top.
Words can’t express the passion.
His zeal begins to rub off on you.
Searching:– “Ereunao” to search a matter out.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 “…for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
Eureka “I found it!”
The Spirit brings into manifestation what is lacking for God’s purpose to be expressed.
The Holy Spirit must fulfill his calling to come along side you as your personal partner and coach. A passionate, violent partner in removing you form every weakness that would hinder you from the full manifestation of the will of God.
Any experience you have ever had with God is by the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:18 “For through him {JESUS} we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.”
You need to have a living, working, personal relationship with Holy Spirit.

I thank God for sending the Holy Spirit and His personal partnership with us. I pray that we as the body of Christ would become intimately acquainted with the moving of the Holy spirit in our personal lives, that we would become dependant upon His direction.
I saw a vision this morning of People lined up out the doors of our church, coming into the building, leaning with anticipation at what was going on inside! Bring it on Lord! Exciting times!
Very exciting!!
Awesome, Susan!
But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its various expressions. This love is revealed through:
Joy that overflows,
Peace that subdues,
Patience that endures,
Kindness on display,
A life full of virtue,
Faith that prevails,
Gentleness of heart, and
Strength of spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23 TPT
Holy Spirit, in this time of harvest, we thank you for the fruit of your Spirit. May our lives overflow with the Goodness of our God, and may many seekers be impacted by your Love and Grace through Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
“Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
It’s time to sing to God a brand new song,
so that all his holy people will then hear how wonderful he is!” Psalm 149:1
Hallelujah indeed! A brand new song for a brand new harvest season. Thank you, Holy Spirit as we participate with you by celebrating the promises of Heaven.

1 John 5:4 ‘For whatever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the victory that has overcome the world- our faith” We are world overcomers together, NOW! Amen
Praying!
I have been sitting at my kitchen table, listening to Big Daddy Weave and paying bills. Now this is something that Terry used to do so it is a little bit scary for me because we have two accounts and I have to figure out what comes out of where. Also now that I am retired I am making less money so that is a concern. My point is that as I got into it, I began to feel really comfortable. Singing praise music and taking it all in. I realize that this was an experience described in one of the verses today. I had my personal adviser with me (Holy Spirit.). John 14:23
“If a person [really] loves Me…We will come to him and make Our home {mone} (abode, special dwelling place) with him.”
A parakletos is like an intimate friend who acts as a personal adviser, such as an aide-de- camp, special consultant or private assistant to an emperor.
“…and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:29-31
Do this with us Lord!
Amen on this Zach!
Praying!
