This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





He that searcheth the hearts; this phrase is a periphrasis of God, and is spoken of him after the manner of men. God doth not properly search or inquire into any thing; but because amongst men knowledge comes by searching, therefore, by way of resemblance, this is attributed to God, though that which is intended by it is only this, that God knoweth the heart, Jer_17:10 Act_1:24.



Knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, both with the knowledge of apprehension and approbation.



Maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God: our prayers shall be sure to speed, if they are of this sort, 1Jo_5:14,15. Praying according to the will of God, respects;



1. The matter of our prayers.



2. The manner of our praying.



3. The end thereof, Jam_4:3.
