DEEP GROANING

And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

Exo 2:24

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

Exo 6:5

When God heard the groaning of His servants: the Israelites; He remembered His covenant and sent Moses to deliver them from their bondage.

In the New Testament [new covenant], we see a different kind of groaning:

...but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

Rom 8:26 [Amplified Bible]

            You see, we have received a Spirit whereby we cry; Abba, father;

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Rom 8:15

            The Israelite’s groaning enforced their covenant rights as servants of God, so God had to deliver them but via the Spirit of adoption, when we groan in the Spirit in the place of prayer we enforce our covenant rights as Sons of God.

            You see God has to hear you when you pray in the Spirit, because He keeps His Covenants.

            Servant-hood changes, son-ship doesn’t!
