Deceptive Comfort

Oh, My child, how long will you seek other things, people, and devices for your comfort? Do you not see that I AM the one who cherishes and adores you so? Can you not see that My presence remains on earth in the form of the great Comforter?

It is time to recognize where you take your rest. 

To whom and to what do you run to when weary and weak? Is it Me? Am I your rod and your staff? As you answer these questions, it will be clear to you where you seek consolation. Is this a trustworthy source of comfort? Now is the time to make a choice. Continue to seek peace and rest in deceptive comforts which are short lived and false or will you seek being comforted by My Spirit. 

Activation: Identify those things you turn to when seeking to be consoled, comforted, or strengthened. Ask Jesus to forgive you for trying to do things in your own strength. Repent for choosing deceptive comforts over choosing Jesus.

Ask Holy Spirit to be your “go-to” for comfort, rest, and strength. Spend time worshipping God through praise music that exalts God.

Psalms 23:4 (CJB)

Even if I pass through death-dark ravines, I will fear no disaster; for you are with me; your rod and staff reassure me.

Acts 9:31 (NASB) 

So the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, as it was being built up; and as it continued in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it kept increasing.
