Counsel.

Today. Someone we know lost a job. She was fired because some lady did not like her or something. She cried.

My mom asked me to call her an comfort her. And I did not want to. I did not know how. I know it is good, but I said, ''I don't know her like that.'' My mom said to say something like, ''It's okay, you will get another one.'' But I couldn't say something like that. I would rather tell her that these things are temporary, and we should not trust them.

Okay, so now I get it. Now I see where I could have been of some assistance, because the same comforter that comforts me can show comfort through me to anyone.

I don't ever like being the GO TO guy on things. I don't like counseling. I would rather people be counseled by the Holy Spirit himself. But now I seed a need for ministers, because not everyone CAN be this way. Not everyone has the same level of grace, or even faith, especially those of the world. Now I see the things that Moses had to endure. Moses was just a simple man. He was not some great ruler. And how was he to comfort and lead the people of Israel? Rebellious and faithless people, always provoking him and God?

Jesus can call me faithless. He has every right to. I am faithless. In the same way he had rebuke for his disciples, he can rebuke me. But I hope the Lord helps me in faith. I know I need it, or else I cannot please him. I must lean on faith.

Maybe this was a test, but I really know that I am not so wise, but God is wise, and if I had believed that he does love me, and cares for me, I should have been able to speak to her in faith that God would give me words of comfort.

I do not want people following me. I don't want people coming to me for counsel. I would that everyone receive their counsel the same way I did, by the Holy Spirit, but again, not everyone will. People find it hard to look to God who they cannot see. For the same reason the children of Israel, wanted kings like the nations around them.

May Jesus grace us with more grace and faith.

May Jesus bless you.

Hi Ramon

One prominent minister of God once said that 'Ministry is THE LOVE OF GOD which is so overwhelming inside us that it OVERFLOWS and touch the person next to you.'

There are many ways to comfort someone and a good start is to genuinely listen to what they want to share. Lend a listening ear with the love of God. Many a times, people want us to listen to them first rather than telling them what they need to do. Some will feel better after finding someone to listen to them. In fact, they may even begin to see things clearer and move on.

And if you really have nothing to say, simply pray for them after they have shared their hearts out. It will do a lot of good for that person.

I encourage you to give God the chance to show that He can use you mightily.

Yes Amen bobbyking. I have not yet seen what the Lord has seen concerning the needs of this world. I am sure, that without Jesus I can do not one thing at all.

For now, I see as the Lord is training me, and I cannot truly know his ways unless I live his ways. I guess I am in testing. But with prayer and faith I know he will bring me out. And I need to be baptized in the Spirit too. But I do not take this baptism so lightly. It is like marriage to me. When I am ready, I know I will receive, because I have asked, and the Lord is faithful.

But I have not seen evil as the Lord has. How can I be separated from the world if I still love this world and what it offers?

But it is true that whoever fears is not made perfect in love. There is still a fear in me. I need to be made perfect in love. And there is still doubt in me, so my faith needs to increase.

I am not the type to take the wheel because I think I can drive on my own. I yield. I yield until I am worthy. The Lord decides if I am worthy. Not me. I hope I am. I hope the Lord is also raising up TRUE worshipers. Because the world needs to see the Light of Christ like never before.

May Jesus bless you.
