Your part is to take the circumstances you\u2019re in and the people you\u2019re among and bring them before God\u2019s throne. This is how you give the Spirit inside you a chance to intercede, and how God is going to sweep the whole world with his saints.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself: Am I making the Holy Spirit\u2019s work difficult by being noncommittal or by trying to do his work for him? You must leave the Spirit side of intercession alone and focus on your side\u2014your specific circumstances and acquaintances.<\/p>\n<p>My intercessions can never be your intercessions, and your intercessions can never be mine.
