He Did, He Does, He Will Comfort & Deliver

The honor and the praise. A mezzo on today. When I was overthinking, God of to the scripture of into the message. For today, we're going to talk about that. The title that God gave me one key. Did he does and he will he did. He does he will be in the past. He didn't he's doing it right now. He does. It's what he does right now. It what he he's doing something right now. He does this and he will he will also do it in the future. What is it that he does? He does. We know? He was specifically we're going to see something that he does. The first 2 in 2nd Corinthians chapter 1 verses 1 through 11 and we're yet and still talking about the outpouring of God's comfort and deliverance, God's comfort and deliverance. Hallelujah. And so we know that the Apostle Paul, we know he was once all the person Do the Saints and then he has his Damascus Road experience and he became Paul. Also Saul became Paul, right? And he went through something, he had experienced a, we knew what it was to torture to persecute and then now that he is Paul, he is not on the other side of that. And so we understand as he's writing to the Saints, you're at Corinth, he is going to talk to them about some things and he made some promises to visit them and encourage them and he had some things happen along the way. And so don't, you know, anytime you're doing something for God and you're working hard on the mission field, the enemy will use any and everything to try to discredit you. And so in this, in the first chapter of 2nd Corinthians as you go through that chapter, you'll see where certain promises that he made. He wasn't easy but he wasn't able to fulfill not because he was dishonest or had no Integrity but it was Pluto. Change of schedule happened, but then things happened. He was going through situations circumstances, all these different things and as he was going through these challenges these turmoils, he's tribulations, he began to experience. Even the more, the comfort of God, to know, God as the God of All Comfort, especially an inverse three ever going to see you in a few moments. But I wanted to show you that in 2nd Corinthians 1:3, the word Comfort, there is a strong Greek 3874. It means para Kelly lee Khaleesi Khaleesi and it's means a calling near a summons especially for helping to call for help and also means exportation admonishment. I'll do it Marcus or to encourage it. Also tells us that they're in the consolation of comfort of Solace that which affords Comfort or refreshment, okay? But it also mean A persuasive, discourse stirring, address mean that you're saying something that's going to stir, something up on the inside of you to provoke you to a certain action or attitude to put you into a place that you had not to a place where you may have been before to put you out of something into something else. And so as we look at the word comfort and the God of All Comfort, it's more than just a wonderful feeling, a warm fuzzy to make you feel better, to make you feel, good and satisfied. I also want you to understand that Comfort, especially in this verse in this chapter is talking about how do you comfort come to bring strength, courage. And boldness, there's a waiting list to the comfort of God. There is strength to the cover of God, there is courage in the comfort of God, and there is a sense of boldness in the comfort of God. So as God is enlarging, our capacity to receive and understand Divine wisdom and Revelation. We're also against expanding our knowledge and our definition of comfort. So when God delivers brings us to bring something to us, we know that, you know, we have pizzas delivered, you have Chinese food delivered. We have all we have Amazon, write a whole bunch of stuff to our door. They bring something from one place to another and especially to you they bring it to your doorstep to you personally the God of All Comfort. When he ministers when he delivers Comfort, he's delivering striking is bringing it to you, wherever you are in your situation in your circumstance. And not only that he can deliver you out on certain things, he can bring you out of one place and transpose you to another transition you somewhere else. So let's get into the word of God. It says the 2nd Corinthians chapter 1, starting at verse 14. This is in the new King James version and it says Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God and Timothy our brother to the Church of God which is that Corrine and shrimp with all the saint who are and all the things who you are in. All I see is a Kia. Grace to you and peace from God. Our father in the Lord, Jesus Christ who have to be the God and father of our Lord. Jesus Christ, the father of mercies and God of All Comfort Comfort. The string, the Courage, the boldest, as well as the refreshing, as well as a refresher, all comfort. Who Comfort us? Be strengthened, he encouraged. He pours into us where and all our tribulations, the while you were in the midst of your tribulations, that pressing that stress, whatever that is, just what God can bring you comfort, he can bring you strength in the weakness. He can bring your boldness and courage. When you feel like, you can't stand up in the strength of who our God is, why is he doing this? That we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble to God, delivers Comfort to you, so you can have it as an. So you can be a model and an example of how the minister convert to somebody else. So as God brings it to you and you receive it now you can Minister Comfort to someone else and show them how to endure that process that they can make it through with the Comfort. Which we ourselves are comforted by God, not remember that comfort that strength, that encouragement, that boldness is not something you have to stir up in your own strength, out of your flesh, out of the who you are. It's all done by God. Through God, the vehicle of the holy spirit is going to transpose into you, always as long as you are open and receiving and you've been applying in the word so it makes it so much easier. Cuz then he has something to pull on the one you applied in the word because your Renewing, Your Mind daily with the word of God, you're not conforming to the things of this world but you are now transformed by the renewing of your mind. In the word of God, he is pulling all the strength of God's words. Bringing it up in you so we can rise up like Living Waters, like a Fountain of Living Waters, the strength that you need, the encouragement that you need. Do you need to be reminded that you can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength, that you are, indeed the head and not the tail that your bubbly and not beneath that you are the lender or not, the borrower, The strength of God, that reminds you of who you are in God, that's the comfort. That when the enemy says that you are nothing that you'll never be nothing that you're not qualified to do this, that you are not in a position or you don't have enough to do that, that you were lacking deficient, guess what? The word of God, Holy Spirit, brings the worst up and you'd remember to remember that, guess you're that the grace of God is sufficient for every single need that you were annoyed that you that that God called you. That God shows you the god purpose and fashion and formed and made you for such a time as this that he has equipped you that provides comfort that provides drink and that should stir up a sense of Bowl is on the inside of you because now, you can identify the lies of the enemy. And not fall for his devices and follow after the truth. Hallelujah. So God Comforts us so we can be a position to comfort others. Not just always going to be all right, you know that's happened. Sometime not to know that there's more to it than that. There's more to it than that. All we're comforting to the power of God's word by the auction of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah first five cents for as the sufferings of Christ abounded us. So our consolation also abound through Christ. Just as Christ suffered, he went through pain and aches not only in his body but even emotionally mentally, he had to deal with something spiritual. I remember he was in the, he was in the wilderness voting days, 40 nights, he was in there. He has not only had to deal with his flesh with his physical body, but he also went and the hunger that that's what he was. Also badly scared to leave that demon. The devil came up to try to challenge him his identity who he wasn't, and in the kingdom of God, That was a spiritual warfare. He was fighting. And even the angels of God came alongside Aveeno to the minister unto him after he didn't or the process. And so just as Christ supper, that's even though that. But even with the people friends Associates, family members people, he didn't even know assuming so much about him. He had to endure these things and because he was able to endure with the power of the Holy Spirit depending on the word of God. So what? So can we watch? Because our consolation our hope, our Eternal reward is promise and guarantee to us through. Jesus Christ, his death, his burial and his resurrection. That's why when we choose to believe on the Lord, Jesus Christ, and gives us access into the kingdom of God and access to the Tree of Life. Hallelujah, when you allow him to abide in you and your word a box and God's word abiding in you and you abide in him. Now, if we are afflicted, it is for our consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring. The same sufferings, which we also suffer, some things we go through. Some things we go through. Unfortunately bring on ourselves because of bad decisions. But there's other things that we go through because we are in this world and not of it. God allows us to go through certain things. Why not to tear us down. Not to beat us up. He's not trying to play us. He allows us to go through them, so it can build endurance. You will never learn how to enjoy. You'll never enjoy the benefits unless you go through the process details of it all, unless you go through the process, unfortunately, we live in a microwave generation. What thing is done now, quick fast and hurry, but guess what? Some things takes time. Some things take processing companies, take development. There are stages to certain things just like as a woman is pregnant and is. And the child is developing on the inside of her, there are stages of growth that must be accomplished in order for the child to come forth. A fully-formed, fully developed whole, nothing nothing, nothing broken, nothing wanting, nothing lacking. And they're the mother must have endurance to endure that process. So what strengthens her during that process? She told to eat vitamins, right to eat. Healthy to drink, plenty water, get some sleep. And did they do this and that store, certain things that she must do in that helps heard that comforter that strengthens her during the process? The God of All Comfort is is giving us his strength courage and the Bold as that we need to endure the process. And also it develops, the fruit of the Holy Spirit. We know the fruit of the holy spirit is love joy, peace patience, kindness gentleness and self-control. And when you go through certain circulations, right? And you're doing it with a good attitude, it might not always feel good but because your trust in God, you know, he is the one who is able to bring you through. It helps build your patience and help build that endurance. It also helped cultivate a greater measure of self-control so you're not acting out of your flesh. And you don't respond out of your flesh, but you learn how to be still and know that he is. God, you learn how to quiet your soul. Quiet the noise in the kitchen and the bitterness and the anger, and the resentment of your mind and willing your emotions. And Just Surrender completely to God to literally take your hands off of a, raise them up in surrender. Because, you know, you have a full assurance and confidence that God is fighting for you that he is working on your behalf that he has graced you, that he has anointed you and he has downloaded app on you and everything that concerns you that your name is attached to that Divine wisdom, the Divine influence, even the Divine ability to Divine anointing of God, to position, something to work some things out, so you can have a smooth transition. Oh, thank you Father. So that way all of this is done for his glory so you can have a testimony of who he is and what he's done and others will see. Who your God is, and it will be an invitation to them to come into the kingdom of God. 47 says, and our hope for you is steadfast because we know that as you are partakers of the suffering. So also you will partake all the constellations do not going through this for nothing. There is a great reward. Hallelujah. Not only in the Hereafter, but even in the here. And now, you may not see it, you may not recognize it straight up because it might not look like what the world would would Define as a consolation or a prize or a benefit. But there are other benefits that God is doing a working on the inside of you. And on the inside of other people, don't, you know, people are watching you, they're watching you. They want to see how you respond, how you react and based on that. It's going to be a witness and a testimony to how God gets the glory. Or how you chose not to trust Gump. So what kind of witness are you do other people as you go through your situations and your circumstances? What kind of what kind of Bible are you riding at? What kind of letter are you writing? What kind of story are you telling?

And so it goes on to say in verse 84, we do not want you to be ignorant, brother of our trouble, which came to us in Asia. That's what Paul is telling them. Look, I don't want you to think that everything is coming up roses that mow, nice a day to be doing this work in the ministry cuz we came up with get some stuff. Even in Asia ourselves, we're on a mission trip. And some other things happened with that measure were burned beyond measure above strength so that we despaired even of Life, what Paul was saying here, as he's writing to them, look something happened and I was out doing my research. History is off to say that the church knew what was going on and but even though it's not naturally recorded exactly what happened, but something happened. Something big, something major happened. Where there was a sentence was given out a measure of death. So he was about to be there. Where we were about to die, physically, they were about to die for judgment. Came for No he was about to die. They were so just in this short depression kicked in the weariness kicked in but they but guess what? Something is going to happen in the book when you are threatened with death and destruction? What do you do? In those moments of Despair. Who are you calling on? What is beyond your control. It was beyond measure above drink. Paul didn't have enough strength influence. He had have any more favors to pull. He didn't have no priests or it would be on his logic, his business reasoning and his logic. He couldn't, there was no other way out, there was no Escape. It would seem that his death was for certain. So what happened? Yes, we had a sentence of death all in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, you know what? Yes, it was a death sentence there. But if we were gonna die, we're not going to put trusted ourselves. But we still were going to trust in God. Because guess what? Even if we die and if they killed us, we know a guy who can raise the day amen. Go back to think about in the Old Testament. Tell Daniel in the Lion's Den, come on, right? And even the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace cuz they said we're not going to do what you would. They told the kids you know, we're not going to worship your false gods. We're not going to worship those Idols, you know, if we put an even after, if we perish, I perish, I'm going to see the king. He was going to complete the assignment. They were going to stand up in the fullness and the courage and the strength of God for God live for God, I die. Who is able to save you from these fiery furnaces, who is able to save you from from these Lions dead? Guess what? It is, God, and God Alone Even if you have to actually go into the fire, even if you end up going into the dent, don't you find it interesting that God didn't deliver them before they went into the fire? It was yes. It was a threat. Doesn't get rid of the threat. Nope, he allowed to actually go into the fire. You know what Daniel it was a threat of death of the Lion's Den. God did not say, you know what, I'm going to make sure the Rolling Stone from the dance of Daniel. Does he even get there? No. Daniel actually had to go into the Dead. What it was in the midst of it. Oh my, in the midst of it, that The God Who raises the Dead, the dog, who has control over life and death. Holy Spirit, the spirit of Life, the breath of life. Oh my goodness, can show up and show out. And the fact that he goes into this thing, I had an awesome opportunity to make like a pinch pot out of clay. You take the clay, you roll into a ball and then you put your thumb right in the middle. And then you get to pinch all the way around to form the edges in the rim and I found it. So fascinating, that as I put my thumb right in the middle of that bowl, that my thumbprint made an imprint in the middle of it, but as I was rolling, Mike Paul the fingerprints at the end, the lines of my hand was all over the ball. Don't you know what God the Potter his forming you say. He has his paw print all over you and your situation and then when he's ready to feel good to the clay he takes his phone print out his righteous right hand but he helped hold you with and he puts Dab in the middle of your situation and your circumstance. It doesn't always feel good, but guess what? It's for a purpose and it's the promise of God to whatever you're going through. Don't, you know, got some pretty is right on you. He has his hand prints all around you. It is not the kill, you would have pitched a shape. You it's a mold you it's to make you for his glory for his glory. Why? But we're ten this same God who delivered from the dead, who delivered in the past. Delivered us from so great. A depth and does Deliver Us in whom. We trust that he will still deliver us. What he did in the past, he deliver, he did it before. So, great of death and guess what and does Deliver us, he's delivering us. Now the fact that Paul was writing this but I'll never go outside in a Wonder cuz at least he made it through that situation, it ain't just to even have the ability to write, right? And who we trust that I even asked. If we go at, we Face the same thing again. He will still deliver us. How many times do we go through situation? Circumstances, hardships. And once you make it to refrain Lord, I pray that never happens again. Lord, I don't want to do this job, no more cuz I don't have to do that again. But Lord, I don't want that job because that means I don't have to deal with these people of this type of situation all the time. I like going that, why am I going to sign up to go through it all? Or how much it might be there. Where is your trust? Don't you know if he did it before, he can do it again. He will continue.

He did, he does. And he will. That's why we say yes to the call. Give me examples of people who had their character assassinated different things and it's just that the others. But guess what? The same God, who can raise people from the dead? Can raise your character from? No matter how many times they try to kill it.

We say yes to God, not, because we know that in our own strength. We can handle it. We say yes to God, because we know that God can handle it that he did. He does. And he will deliver, he will bring us out of situations into his Lori that even in the midst of the situation. When he puts his thumb print on us, he will deliver unto us the comfort of God. He will deliver his strength, he will deliver current, he will deliver boldness. So that when you come through the fire, you can be presented at your cold so you can beat that finished pot. That's been fashioned formed and load it as a vessel of honor to God. Hallelujah.

While we do all of these things, we go through this and we allow God to work enough to Fashion us to mold up to bring his comfort inside of us so that we can Minister that same kind of comfort to minister. The comfort of God don't withhold it, don't withhold the grace of God do with all the comfort of God, who are we to would hold something that doesn't even belong to us. First 11. Send you also helping to get together in prayer for us that things may be given by many person on our behalf for the gift. Granted to us through Benny. This is why we pray one for another. This is why we pray the strength of God. This is what we pray. The comfort of God as believer One for another because we if especially if you have experienced the the comfort of God, if you felt the thumbprint of God come in the middle of your situation and you know what it feels like. You know how, when he placed his thumb in it. Yes your flesh. Doom didn't want to receive still was not happy about it. But guess what? In the end it was for your good because afterwards when you surrender and yield to the pressing to the pressure What ends up happening is that you felt a sense of relief, you felt the comfort of God, you felt the strength of Courage. And the boldness of God come before you like never before you were stronger in your identity and knowing who your God was and who you were in him? That's why, and that's how we pray and minister to other people. We pray that the comfort of God would reach them, that they will experience the strength of God. The peace of God, the bulk of God. In the midst of whatever tribulation that they're going through. And we pray, not just once but we continually pray, we pray that God will deliver them out of that. Fire refurbished. We pray that God delivers them out of those Lions Den. We pray that the Divine influence of God would be with them as they go before the king, all the executives, the official the management said, the Divine favor, the Divine influence even into buying like a bility of God, will be upon them. Just like it was on after that, the glory of God will be revealed. And that the kingdom of genda of God will be manifested here on Earth, Lord, let your kingdom come, let your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. That's why we pray these things through, we go through them and we know how to pray them. Hallelujah. So, I want to encourage you today to know that our God, he is one who did, who does and, who will he will comfort, and he will deliver, he will comfort, and he will deliver, hallelujah. Amen. Just like I mentioned with Daniel, and Daniel, for 6 or 66:16, it said, then the king commanded and Daniel was brought and cast into the Den of Lions. The king declare to Daniel may your God, whom you serve continually not just on Sunday. Just all seven, not just when it's convenient but who you serve continually. Deliver you? So, my prayer today. Is that the god that you serve? I pray that it is the one true and living God, the King of Kings and the Lord of lords.

That you serve him continually consistently with conviction? Full with the sense of reverence and respect.

That you may see the answers to your prayers, that you would see the Deliverance being manifested, that you would experience the full comfort of God. That he will strengthen you that he will encourage you that he will give you a sense of boldness. And refreshing. The piece that the peace of God that surpasses all understanding human reasoning and logic with overtake you because you know in whom you try that you trusted a God who can deliver her and him I can Resurrect The Dead. Do you crucify your flesh? Allow God to arrive. I bet you will see your enemy scanner. Let God arise and his enemies be scattered. Hallelujah.
