intercession of the spirit - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Intercession of the Spirit
  (Rom. 8:26, 27; John 14:26). "Christ is a royal Priest (Zech.
  6:13). From the same throne, as King, he dispenses his Spirit to
  all the objects of his care, while as Priest he intercedes for
  them. The Spirit acts for him, taking only of his things. They
  both act with one consent, Christ as principal, the Spirit as
  his agent. Christ intercedes for us, without us, as our advocate
  in heaven, according to the provisions of the everlasting
  covenant. The Holy Spirit works upon our minds and hearts,
  enlightening and quickening, and thus determining our desires
  'according to the will of God,' as our advocate within us. The
  work of the one is complementary to that of the other, and
  together they form a complete whole.", Hodge's Outlines of
  Theology.
