KNOW THE COMFORTER

“John 14:11
And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever;”

The word comfort from the Oxford Dictionary means a condition in which someone feels pleasantly relaxed, and relieved of pain or anxiety. A comforter is one who stands by and exhorts or encourages someone. One who comes into a tough or discouraging situation and brings out possibilities.

Just as we see in our opening scripture, the Holy Spirit is that comforter that God has given to you to help and comfort you. He may not be seen, but He is at work with you and in you to accomplish your purpose in God. He is sent to you to be a standby and to bring peace into your heart at all times. (John 16:33).

Therefore, you never need to look outward for comfort as a believer because the Comforter is on the inside of you seeking to carry out His ministry in your life. Say yes to Him today by fellowshipping with him in worship, and His comfort will flow in you like a river, cooling and refreshing your soul. Hallelujah
