Walking in Fear of the Lord and Holy Spirit's Comfort

True comfort from the holy spirit. True comfort from the trinity of the comforter True comfort comes when the sin of our lives have been washed away That's true comfort True comfort is knowing that the curse that I should be under has now been shouldered by somebody else that didn't deserve it. True comfort is reconciliation so we can enjoy the presence of god. [00:20:40] (28 seconds)  #TrinityOfComfort

Now, let me be clear. I'm not saying that for everyone to become a Christian, you need to physically see a bright light that blinds you, okay? But spiritually speaking, it's the same result. Spiritually speaking, it's the same thing that that happened to Saul happens to us as well. We were sinners and needed the work of the comforter to expose that to us. And here's the here's the wonderful part about it. It can happen for anybody. Did you know there's nobody so lost that Jesus can't save them? There's nobody who's on has been so awful and done so much terrible stuff that they can't be saved. [00:28:18] (38 seconds)  #NoOneTooLost

And let me tell you this morning, whatever it is that you're going through, you can find comfort. You can find peace. Why? Because you have Jesus. In the midst of whatever it is, you have Jesus. In the midst of whatever it is, Jesus says, I've given you the comforter. I've given you a helper. I've given you advocates and so he gives us his peace. [00:11:24] (26 seconds)  #ComfortInJesus

The word used for comforter or advocate or helper means one called to be beside another, which denotes a person who represents another in a judicial cause. Okay? Why is that important? Because it was the custom in the ancient tribunals for the parties to appear in court, but they will be attended by one or more of their most influential friends.

We have to remember something about Saul. When he was on his way to Damascus, if you have asked him before he saw that bright light, hey, Saul, what you doing? He would have told you, I'm doing the work of god. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do in the name of god. He thought he was doing right. He he he thought everything was great. He was doing what he was supposed to. He wasn't just living life. He was actually doing good in his eyes. And it took the comforter, the holy spirit to come and shine light and expose what he was doing and say, Saul, actually, you're in darkness. [00:29:52] (38 seconds)  #ConvictionExposesDarkness

You know why some people just keep doing what they're doing even when they think they're doing good like Saul? It's because they're spiritually blind. It's because they have hard hearts. They have calloused hearts but praise god. That's what the holy spirit's for To come in with conviction to expose what they're doing and show them there is a better way. What you're doing is wrong. It exposes the truth to them. And every single one of us needed that. We were all guilty of sin. We we we were there's none of us that had that that could say we're better than the other. No. We all needed the same saving as everybody else. [00:32:24] (40 seconds)  #FromBlindnessToSight

And so, he's trying to eliminate a lot of the unknowns. So, when our times of hardships and and trials come because of persecution for us being followers of Christ, that's not a time to panic. It's a time to remember that Christ is in control. He told us it's going to happen. It was expected. We should have expected it and he is in full control of the situation And he'll get you through it because Jesus sent us the comforter. [00:09:47] (30 seconds)  #PeaceInPersecution

So, when the church is walking in the comfort of the holy spirit or the comfort of the, yeah, the comfort of the holy spirit, the comforter is he's trying to say, in the midst of whatever it is, you have Jesus. In the midst of whatever it is, you have the Holy Spirit. You have a comfort. So, peace is always an option. [00:11:50] (23 seconds)  #ChoosePeaceInChrist
