COMFORT ONE ANOTHER
II Corinthians 1:2-4 says, “Grace (favor) to you and peace (shalom) from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation (sorrow, anguish, trouble) that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble (sorrow, anguish tribulation) by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”
The Greek word here for both “tribulation” and “trouble” is exactly the same word: thlipsis. It means afflicted, anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, trouble, or whatever kind of sorrow has come upon a person.
The Greek word here for “comfort” is “parakaleo” and “parakletos” which means comfort, consolation, exhort, interest, call for, or pray. It comes from paraclete” which means “one who comes alongside” to intreat on behalf of a person, hence, a “comforter.”
This passage tells us of our “God of all comfort” who has comforted you and me. We then are to comfort others who may be in a troubled state of mind or circumstances. We should “come alongside” to stand with them in their grief, or trial or trouble to bring comfort and reassurance to them.
This is but one aspect of the “good works” that Christ expects from us. Many times, an “afflicted person” just needs someone to lean upon, one who may simply listen to them. They are not needing advice; they just need someone who cares. It brings great comfort and may help them to “get back on track.”
There comes a time in everyone’s life when we need that “helping hand” or a “listening ear.” Kindness and compassion go a long way. It is an expression of our Christian love, even brotherly love.

WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN’S TRUE PURPOSE?
You could say that I have a passion for the things of God. This is true, but what motivates my passion? I asked Jesus years ago to give me compassion for others. He placed that into my heart. Then about 20 years ago I had a vision, and this is the vision:
In a vision, I was in a place in the city where I live on the North side of Lake Jackson in an undeveloped subdivision. Jesus was standing in front of me. He turned around to face me and had a very stern look on his face. Then he spoke to me: “There are an unacceptable amount of people dying and going to hell in Highlands County (where I live) and I am not pleased.” That was the full extent of the vision.
My heart was so burdened that Jesus might not be pleased with what we are doing in His kingdom. I didn’t say to him, “well, I’m sorry, that isn’t my problem.” I didn’t say, "well I am doing what I can.” No, my heart was pierced by his words, and I made a determination to share the love of God with everyone I could.
Recently I was admonished for speaking about winning souls on social media. I was told that it put people under condemnation and made them feel guilty. I was taken aback for this statement, but then realized that Satan will do anything he can to stop the true message of every Christian’s purpose. What is that purpose? It is to reproduce themselves. The fruit of a Christian is not the same as the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of a Christian is another Christian!
Why are people feeling guilt and condemnation? It isn’t condemnation to bring us to conviction my friends. The pulpit is full of people with no passion for the lost. It’s all about prophetic words, feel good messages, (I too like to feel good, but it doesn’t motivate me) and no challenge to be a laborer in the field for Jesus. There is a difference between guilt and conviction. Conviction pierces the heart to bring change, while guilt is in the mind and comes from offense.
There is no doubt in my mind that things are heating up for the end of times Great Tribulation. If a person gets offended over being challenged to be a witness, because they have never won a soul to Christ, so be it. I will not change what my purpose is. I know my purpose. It is to equip the saints to be workers in the ministry (not to be a pastor, evangelist, etc., just a Christian worker). Let us get our motivations back where they should be. There is a lost and dying world from our Capitol to the homeless on the streets. Let us be light. That is our purpose my friends. If we become the light God has called us to be, instead of hiding it under a bushel, we can bring some into the kingdom before it is too late. Remember, one plants, one waters, but God brings the increase. Be a planter, or a waterer so increase can come.
By the way, I shared this vision with Pastors in a meeting, and they became offended at the vision. Imagine that? Perhaps they had not been equipping the saints and training them to live out their God-given purpose. They will have to give an account of what they “fed the sheep.”
Has this message offended you? Well, I hope not. I hope it has stirred you to be what God has called you to be.

You shall see the victory as you go forth in my name saith the Lord.
