GALATIANS 6:3-5
The Holy
Spirit is called names, one of which is the Advocate. An advocate is a lawyer –
who has the capacity to work for or against you depending on whose side he is.
While the Holy Spirit is struggling with sinners, He is pleading for the saints
with groanings which cannot be uttered. What determines what you get from the
Holy Spirit – whether good or bad – is your spiritual status – whether you are
a saint or sinner.
There is a persistent struggle between the Holy Spirit and sinners. One reason for this according to Romans 8:7 is that the mind of the sinner is in enmity against the Spirit and as a result it rebels against the law of the Spirit of Christ. When the Spirit says to a sinner, Repent, he replies by saying, Let me enjoy my life to its fullest and repent later. But he may never live up to that age. Are you yet to be born again? Are you still struggling with the Holy Spirit? Stop it, repent and yield to Him and let Him begin to fight for you from today.
Do you still struggle with the Holy Spirit over simple instructions if you continue, you will grieve Him and He will withdraw from you (Genesis 6:3,6). May the Holy Spirit never withdraw from you in Jesus name. When two people go to court over a matter, the decision of the judge will depend on the strengths of the arguments placed before him by their advocates. The more experienced, knowledgeable and familiar the lawyer is to the presiding judge the better disposed the latter will be to him and whatever argument he brings.
The Holy Spirit as our Advocate is part of the Godhead. He knows what God loves. He understands all the provisions available to us by the sacrificial death of Jesus at Calvary. He also knows our weaknesses and how to cover them up. Having Him as your advocate guarantees victory over Satan, the accuser of the brethren who stands daily to give God several reasons He must not listen to your pleas (Revelation 12:10). This is one reason you ought to pray in tongue regularly. If you pray in the Spirit, it is the Holy Spirit that is praying through you (Romans 8:26) and you are assured of answers.

MEMORIZE:
ROMANS 8:26 –Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities; for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit Itself makes intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
