Explain Romans 8:26-27 if you all would please, if you really believe the Holy Spirit can stop speaking for Another and just speak of His own accord.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

In Romans 8th chapter on verse 26, the last tow Greek words in the Greek texts are coming with these meanings.
The Greek word, "stenagmos" is defined as "from stenazw - stenazo
4727; a sigh:--groaning."
The Greek word "alaletos" is defined as "from a - a
1 (as a negative particle) and a derivative oflalew - laleo
2980; unspeakable:--unutterable, which cannot be uttered."
That means the sighing or the groaning is not being uttered at all; hence no sound.
That leads to verse 27 in how the One that searches our hearts which is Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and
is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
He is the One that knows the mind of the Spirit, and that is how the unspeakable intercessions of the Spirit are made known to the Father because Jesus presents the Spirit's unspeakable intercessions for Him.
This is to the will of God because there is only One Mediator between God and men
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
This is set up this way because when the Son presents our intercessions and the Spirit's unspeakable intercessions to the Father, when the Father says "Yes" to any intercession, the Son answers the prayer so that the Father may be glorified in the Son for answered prayers.
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
So if the Holy Spirit can speak for Himself, why can't He gives His own prayers Himself in spite of His intercessions being unspeakable?
When this was written...
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:...
Was it really Peter speaking or the Holy Spirit in him speaking? We understand what is being written in respect to other scripture.
Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
So when you cite scripture about what the Spirit says, it should be with this understanding.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
That is how the Holy Spirit glorifies the Son as our Good Shepherd by relaying His words to us. He cannot speak in any other way in deferring from that glory of the Son.
