Jesus Christ is the Consolation

< < Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins. > >, Isaiah 40:1-2. This is the scripture on which we cordially greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ our comforter, our peace, our Joy, and our Safety! He is all that we need! Yes and Amen.

Since the entrance of the Lord Jesus Christ on the scene; This prophetic word was accomplished. He shouted and said < < Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. > >, Matthew 11:28. When He says  < < You all > > that means it is really addressed to each and every one  who is tired and  heavy laden by this world, by the organized religions of  Pharisees, Sadducees,  modern Sanhedrin and of the life without Christ.

For instance, when we read Deuteronomy 23: 3, we find that the law of Moses condemned and excluded a good number of people to even enter the temple. Then the scripture says: < < For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. > >, Ecclesiastes 7:20, it says elsewhere that : < <  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus…> >, Romans 3: 23-24. Therefore, the entrance of  Jesus Christ on the scene has opened a new day; Saint Paul , reminds us and says: < < Be it known unto you therefore, men brothers, that it is by Him, Jesus Christ, that the forgiveness of  sins is announced to you, and that whoever believes is justified by Him of all the things of which you could not be justified by the law of Moses > >, Acts 13: 38-39. What the apostle says is of so great importance that any person, it does not matter what he has already done as sin, would be suicidal to refuse this consolation, unmerited grace that  is offered to us since  the Lord came in flesh.  We all are invited to leave the religious traditions of  men and to honestly accept Christ our Consolation. He is the pure Word of God, and not the interpretations. It is time to stop any hypocrisy consisting in being called Christian whereas one continues  to soil his self in his thoughts and his actions < < dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. > > 2 Corinthians 7:1.

Indisputably, throughout the Ministry of Jesus Christ, it was clear and abvious that every one could be comforted: He comforted all those that believed in Him, and He did it without being concerned with their past but, said to them: < < Go, and from now on don’t sin any more > >, John 8: 11, Romans 6:1-2. And, He clarifies < <  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.> >, John 12: 46-48. It is then manifest that when one believes in the True word of God, one receives the grace, consolation and the forgiveness of sin in  Jesus Christ while, when one refuses the biblical truth and perseveres on  fables monk then, one receives the judgment of God. And the same true Word that one had refused will catch you up at last Judgment described in Apocalypses 20: 11-15. Therefore, we must live according to the will of God and accept His forgiveness when we are still alive. Prayers on corpse, masses for dead and purgatories are practices spiritually anesthetics because, they don’t have any biblical foundation and they let people live in a total illusion.

Before Jesus Christ, the Lord was comforting His people through His messengers. That is why we can affirm that it was Christ in Moses to comfort the children of Israel according the commission of God < <  Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. > > Exodus 3:9. It required Christ in David etc. In short, all true prophets were anointed of Christ in order to comfort the people of God. Then, after the prophet John the Baptist, the Lord Himself took a human body as Emmanuel, God with us, to comfort and not to judge Isaiah 7:14.

Now we would like to draw your attention on the fact that this function of Comforter never ceased. It continues by the Holy Spirit through the 5 ministries described in Ephesians 4: 11-12, it is always to comfort, edify. It is written: < < And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ  > >. In the Word Edification, is included consolation. It means that: Any Ministry inspired by God: Apostle,  prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher is sent to continue to preach the same word as Christ, to comfort like Christ, to edify like Christ and not to condemn the people. But, we are even weeping to note that many listen to the word of God for their own judgment rather than to accept the consolation contained therein. The Lord says: < < For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. > >, John 3:18-21.

In fact, we all are called to comfort each other; In our relationship with others, in our place of work, in our household etc. we should always ask our self: Is what I’ am doing or speaking edifying others? Even the verses of the bible or quotations are not to be used to denigrate others. Where ever the knowledge of the word of God is used without correcting love and humility, there is no holy spirit involved. We all are supposed to be anointed in order to be even called < Christians > but, it  is sad to realize that nowadays many are those who are even ministering without being anointed by  the Holy Ghost.  Ministering without having any experience with God. Yes it is true; Many are those that are foreigners to the supernatural and are preaching the Gospel based on good but carnal intentions, and relaying on flesh, Job 32: 7-9.  Many are foreigners and are not of any comfort to the people says the Lord, they mislead people, Jeremiah 23:32. The word of the Lord is supposed to be testified by a new and regenerated man, and not by the same sinner man who has retained verses and quotations of the prophet of God.    

When a true servant of God points out that in the Holy Bible no believer has ever been baptized differently than by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; This is  not to condemn anyone. But, to give to people the opportunity to honor the  authentic commandment  of God. On the other hand, it is a desired condemnation when one voluntarily seeks a group that will help disobey God and say: < < the baptism or the manner of being baptized are useless...  Believe and that’s all... > >. Whereas, for Jesus, and the apostles, the manner of being baptized was very significant.

When a true servant of God points out that a woman who dresses slightly, exposing her body commits a sin, this is not to condemn. It is rather to prevent her so that she does not end up to answer, to the Lord, about the adultery that she never maybe done physically but, spiritually with men that she incited to lust with. Because she was almost naked; Men have imagined having her in bed. He said: < < But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.> > Mat. 5:28. These are filths of the spirit whereas << God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.>> John 4: 24.

When a true servant of God points out that man must love his wife and that the woman must be submitted to her husband; this is not to condemn those who did not love their wife and have divorced, nor to condemn separated woman either. But, it is expressed to prevent people from perpetrating bad behavior because, God will avenge any injustice and any disorder, including in marriage. Please, we invite Christian families to read and practice the advices of Saint Paul in Ephesians 5: 22-33.

Therefore, beloved, when we bring everything back  on the biblical base, it is not to condemn anyone, no my brothers, it is the responsibility of any true sentinel, even small that he can be, God always says to him: < < Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.  Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.  Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. > > Ezekiel 3:17-21. So we are nothing but, your sentinels established by God. The Holy Spirit will certainly testify to you that the word that we preach comes directly from the Throne of the grace of God! Yes and Amen. It is a consolation to be informed before it is too late! It is on the other hand the Devil  who misleads some people that < when it contradicts the traditions in which they grew, it is a judgment against them… >. We beg you to defy the Devil in standing from now on for biblical doctrines thus,  get in the group of those who obey fully to God as were the apostles, prophets and all true believers. Amen.

< < And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.... > > Acts 17:30-31.

< <  Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel ? > >, Ezekiel 18: 31. Accept your consolation from God  today.

May God bless you !
