The greatness of an all-knowing God.

1. He knows what you need before you even ask.
   Matthew 6:8b“…your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
2. He prays for you when you lack the words to pray.
   Romans 8:26-27 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.  And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.”
3. He reveals hidden darkness to truly set one free.
   John 4:1-29, 39 “Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, ‘He told me everything I ever did.”
