We Are Not Without Comfort

 “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

John 14:26-27

 

Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he reminded his disciples that they would not be left orphaned or without comfort.

I cannot think of a time when we have needed more comfort than these times that we are living in. Rising suicide rates, rising mass shootings, rising divorce rates, rising fear, rising anger, rising uncertainty, and rising numbers of those who do not yet believe in Jesus Christ.

We live in a time of fearful reality that threatens to harden our hearts or infuriate us to vengefully react and create bigger problems than solutions.

For anyone who dares to cling to the hope in Jesus Christ, there is grace to be reminded that we are not without comfort. Jesus Christ told us that he overcame the world. We serve a Lord and Savior who is not oblivious or dismissive of our great pain and wounds of our gruesome reality.

We are not without comfort.

We do not have all the answers. In fact, we have more and more questions than we have answers. We do not have a blueprint of what the next moment holds not to even consider what tomorrow will hold. There is uncertainty everywhere around us. Still, we are not without comfort.

Friend, the Word of God remains faithful as God himself. The power and authority of God has been proven time and time again in different ways throughout our life. Indeed, we serve a good, good father, a merciful father, a gracious father, a merciful father, a loving father, a promise-keeping father, a way-making father, a miracle-working father, a mind-renewing father, a heart-cleansing father, a chain-breaking father, a compassionate father, who has not left us by ourselves to endure the pain and suffering of this unpredictable world. In this lies our comfort.

Be reminded today, that we have been given a gift of comfort by the God of comfort, who reached down from heaven in the Person of Jesus Christ and left us with the Person of the Holy Spirit after Christ’s resurrection. So we know, there is nothing that is outside the power and authority of God. In this, lies our comfort.

God sees all and knows all and most importantly as it pertains to our present groans, God, through the Holy Spirit is a God of all comfort. We are not without comfort in Jesus name. Amen.

Battle Of The spirits

“Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

2 Corinthians 10:5

So many spirits, so many forces of darkness and evil, yet ONE HOLY SPIRIT is the armor against them all. I thank God almighty for His Holy Spirit.

I am in a state of awe as I continue to witness the many wonders of God through His sons and daughters in this place of destiny. The out-pour of revelations from the Most High about who I am and what I am assigned to do here has been nothing short of overwhelming.

Before, during, and after a week-long fasting, the Lord has ordered me once again to leave my place of employment and to walk fearlessly along destiny’s trail.

This time, there was no fear nor hesitance, just Yes. I give Him glory for clarity.

I dare not be pretentious about the many battles of the spirits that I have encountered in these past weeks. This has been the toughest and most challenging path into purpose. As the word of God continued to reach me and warn me against distractions, I began to see even clearer into the Higher realms of glory.

Friend, do you not know that any high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God surely must be cast down into the captivity of obedience?

There is no confusion in God nor the Holy Spirit.

Those spirits of commotion, disharmony, violence, jealousy, envy, hate, despair, sorrow, wickedness, lack of compassion, dishonesty, and so many others, are not of the Lord your GOD!

The Lord wants us to come in alignment with Him about everything so HE can bless our obedience bountifully. Meanwhile, other spirits rebel against the word of God in us because they are aligned with the flesh and its desires.

Ever wonder how your day suddenly turns upside down and you can’t really explain why? You woke up with the joy of the Lord but by midday, that gladness has waned? or you feel less energy to be happy and share a smile and a word of encouragement to another?

There are spirits that are battling one another to get close to the gates of your mind. All they need is the slightest opening – an offensive word, an offensive behavior from another, a misplaced plan that resulted in disappointment, the slightest dissatisfaction.

All they need is one way to make way into the crevices of your mind.

Thus you and I cannot waver on the armor of God every single day.

Friend, the Holy Spirit is your gatekeeper! The Spirit of God is the One who repels the power of ungodly things because it is a divine and impenetrable barrier that the Lord has placed inside of you.

I urge you today to FEED THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU.

Don’t go another day without the awareness that your armor against the spirits of this world, must be sharpened each day to stay in alignment with the glorious word of God!

May the Lord of Hosts revive us yet again today with the renewal of mind, body, and spirit to walk this walk of faith faithfully in Jesus name. Amen.
