God Is Our Comfort
John 14:16 'And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;'
JOHN 14:16-17
Remember that Jesus was saying these things to His disciples so that they would not be offended. Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the Holy Spirit, who is the Comforter. The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is the front line of defense against the devil and his devices of defeat. The phrase, 'The God of all comfort' carries the idea of a divine comforter who encourages, refreshes, strengthens, aids, assists, and is an ever present help in the time of need. The ways that God chooses to comfort are not always the same. He may deliver you or remove the...
God Works In The Simple Things
John 14:7 'If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.'
Knowing Jesus is knowing the Father. This is not only because Jesus did exactly what He saw His Father do, but Jesus was God in the flesh.
The disciples didn't realize that seeing Jesus was seeing God. They were expecting something more. Many times we miss seeing God work in our lives and circumstances because we are looking for something stupendous. Although it is true that God is totally awesome, He doesn't usually choose to manifest Himself in that way.
God spoke to Elijah not in the fire, wind, or an...
THE JOY OF LEADING SOMEONE TO JESUS
There Is Only One Way To The Father
John 14:5 'Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?'
GETTING TO KNOW JESUS TROUGH HIS WORD
Our Comfort Is In Eternity
John 14:2 'In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.'
This is Jesus' last teaching to His disciples before His crucifixion. Jesus' disciples were about to go through the greatest test of their faith that they had ever encountered. Jesus said that He was saying these things so His disciples would not be offended. Jesus was preparing them for what was to come. Why then speak of preparing them a mansion in heaven? The reason for this was to comfort the disciples and help them put things in perspective. In 1 Thessalonians 4:18, Paul tells us to comfort one another with words about...
JESUS FORGAVE ALL SIN
Turn Back To God
Luke 22:32 'But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.'
The concept of 'conversion' is mentioned in the Holy Scriptures at least 14 times. The basic meaning of the term is a turning or returning to God. This implies a turning away from sin and a turning to God. Repentance and putting faith in God are corresponding synonyms to conversion.
The theological basis for conversion lies in the truth of the 'atonement.'
Although man lapses into sin, the truth of the atonement remains. When men turn to God in repentance and faith, the effects of the atonement - reconciliation and forgiveness -...
ARE YOU REALLY BORN AGAIN? DID YOU RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR OR DID YOU GO DOWN TO THE ALTER IN CHURCH FOR ANOTHER REASON. I AM SERIOUS. IN MY GROWING UP YEARS, I HEARD BOYS JOKE ABOUT THEM GOING DOWN TO THE ALTER JUST BECAUSE OTHER KIDS WERE DOING IT. THAT IS NOT BEING BORN AGAIN. I AM AFRAID A LOT MORE PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY MEN, ARE LIKE...
