Comfortable or Comforted

Monday, April 19, 2021

Why aren't you witnessing and sharing your faith? "Well," you say, "I'm not comfortable witnessing and sharing my faith." Is this Biblical? Did the Lord ever say you should be comfortable? Or when he said, 'Go out and make disciples of all nations...' did He add in, and you should be comfortable? The fact is, the greatest things that happen in your life will not be comfortable. Change and growth are not comfortable. But when you do it, you overcome, and your life becomes greater. What happened before the disciples went out to the nations? He sent them His Spirit called The Comforter. He knew they would be uncomfortable. And so He provided His Spirit... so they would be comforted. In the same way, the Lord has given you His Spirit, not to make you comfortable and not so you would avoid the uncomfortable, but that you would have the power to go out into all those uncomfortable situations and have victory. Seek not to be comfortable. Seek your only comfort from the Comforter and you will witness, you will minister, you will share, you will fulfill your calling, and nothing shall be impossible for you.
