COMFORT IS 2 WAYS  9/22/09

Today a QW Class member shared that when she read “Come forth” she saw the words Com and Fort in them, which is comfort.

I then remembered that when I ask the Lord for His comfort, I say please “Come for” me with Your comfort.  It is a word pun that was inspired by Him in prayer and now a common request where the 2 are synonymous; my comfort is for Him to come for me.  I think of Elijah when the Spirit of the Lord lifted him up and carried him to see in the Spirit.  (Ezek 3:12)

Now if I add the inspiration from our class member, I see comfort as a 2 way street.  We request comfort for Him to come to us.  And He receives comfort when we come to Him!

Matt 14:29-30 NKJV

So He said, "Come ." And when Peter  had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

John 11:43-44 NKJV
He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth !"  44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go." 

 

Matt 12:28-29 NKJV

But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 

John 6:44 NKJV

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
