COMFORTER 3

By Rick Mathes

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

Our Holy Spirit is a person equal in all respects to the Father or Son. I am still inspired by His humbleness. He doesn’t have a name. There are titles and appellations but no proper name and nothing like Jehovah God or Jesus the Son. The main misconception is that He is a power, force or level of faith. He’s a real person with intellect, reason, logic, feelings and all the fullness of the Trinity. Isn’t He something!

His faithfulness to His commission to amplify Jesus in your life is about as laid-back and as selfless at it gets. He is wholly existent to fulfill the purposes of cause and effect, purpose and accomplishment of God’s fashioning of your life. He exudes love, the perfect affection, unadulterated by the stain of sin.

God is love and apart from this instilled understanding from the Holy Spirit, we would continue in lust and worshipping false gods of materialism and sensual lusts. By knowing the real deal through Him we have a spiritual discernment and can spot the devil with a Christian mask on.

I know it’s the love of God because I am always comforted by Him. He never tires of meeting me where I am in the condition He finds me in. The closer I draw to Him the more unworthy I see myself. I see in His light the sine that lingers within me as a stain resists the cleanser. How can we measure His relentless enthusiasm and His present concern for our pursuit holiness in Christ?

It is a wise decision on your part not to languish over what you don’t understand. You need to act on what you do know because it is a matter of life or death. The Holy Spirit enlightens what you need to know and act on exactly as you need to. This is different for each soul as we differ from each other so don’t measure yourself by someone else’s progress or failure. Look up not out.

Believe me it is safe to be in active pursuit of the Holy Ghost’s blessing and proper to pray accordingly. He is ever present and always successful in all He attempts to do on your behalf. All you need to do is crave and desire Him more than the sin you are plagued with. It’s a blessing to be in bondage to the Holy Spirit and a slave of Christ’s. Give it all up for Him. He did for you!

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to walk in His shoes until He returns in glory. That is quite a responsibility to be our instructor, helper. In fact that’s a major issue for us Protestants. We don’t agree that just the Pope has the only correct interpretation of God’s Word not to mention the Pope’s new revelation that Paul condemns. We are to be instructed by God the Holy Spirit in all truth, the full Gospel without exemption. The Bible is the total and exclusive words from the very mouth of God, the Logos. The Rhema is the Holy Spirit teaching the essence of the Word to only believers. It is virtually impossible for an unbeliever to understand the God’s Word apart from the illumination of the Holy Spirit.

He is also the Advocate. I’ve studied two years of law and have founded a prison ministry so I have a good understanding of the criminal justice system and the department of corrections. I know the lawyer; advocate can be the key player in the judgment of your guilt or innocence.

Our Intercessor knows our case very well. Every word, action and even every thought we have ever had in our entire lifetime has been recorded, videotaped in surround sound for all to see, hear and witness in real time! No escaping the total reality of our relationship or lack of it with the King. Now we can stand before a Holy God without even a speck of sin to His knowledge.

In real life the Comforter is very busy communicating our repentance, submission and obedience to the Father much to the joy of the Son. When we become born-again, the Holy Spirit erases every sin we have ever committed from the backboard. And then every time we sin the devil writes our sin back on the blackboard and when we repent, the Holy Spirit erases it, back and forth. So the battle for our freedom in Christ goes on and on. Having an active compelling Comforter, Instructor, and Advocate in my life is a solid evidence to me of my salvation.

How much would you pay for contentment? Then why don’t you release the Holy Spirit within your heart and experience it? Satan has a litany of reasons why you shouldn’t do it right now and you are buying into them. Am I wrong? Then get on your knees right now and pray, “Father God, by your grace I have been saved, Brother Jesus, by your stripes I have been healed, Holy Spirit, you know the mind of the Father and the heart of the Son; What would God have me do?”

I guarantee He will answer you.

WE ARE MORE

By Rick Mathes

Romans 8:37 (NASB77) 37  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

Peter’s transformation from a coward, intimidated by a servant girl to a warrior for Christ, preaching the gospel of His Resurrection in the face of certain death. Countless souls have turned from cringing to steadfast champions because the Holy Spirit has transformed believers from death to life.

This new energy or essence is totally designed to help us forget sin. A dearly s we have learned to love he Lord, conversely our hate for Satan has soared to new depths. The resurrection of the dead as exploded the netherworld with destruction and rampaging plagues of sin not heard of since Jesus cried from the Cross, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” The sky turned black as the Trinity was ripped apart and the Father turned His back on the unimaginable agony of His Son. It was the beginning of exchanging the power of sin to the power of a praying child’s victory.

Jesus leads us though the Cross as through a star-gate into the wonderful spender of the heavenlies, beyond description. Our Lord chooses us form all others to be and adopted son to the Father and brother to the church and Bridegroom of glory. As heirs of heaven we share our Lord’s throne with Him and stand as equals with all those chosen the Father loves.

This is why Father God permitted us to go through this life and earth experience so that we would fully understand that death stung Jesus and died. Isaiah 53 may be the hinge of the Holy Scriptures but the resurrection is the capstone that illuminates every word of the original Logos and manuscripts with God’s signature.

The glue that holds this all together is the prayers the rush of warriors to the front lines with no regard of self. The victory is of ours is oblivious to our deeds forf Him and our destruction of the devil and his fallen angels. All we ae are ofis His pleasure and approval. We live to make His joy compete!
