Comfort from God in Troubled Times

I pray that God's Words 
from his Holy Word, the 
King James Bible, will be 
a comfort to you during 
the troubled times we live in. 
And remember when you 
hear news of riots, 
looting, killing, and 
destruction that God 
in heaven is not the 
author of chaos 
(confusion). Satan is! 

1 Corinthians 14:33  
For God is not the 
author of confusion, 
but of peace,... 

Words of Jesus Christ 
are in red.

John 10:10
  
The thief [Satan] cometh 
not, but for to steal, and 
to kill, and to destroy: I am 
come that they might have
 life, and that they might 
have it more abundantly. 

1 Peter 5:8  
Be sober, be vigilant; 
because your adversary 
the devil, as a roaring 
lion, walketh about, 
seeking whom he 
may devour:

John 8:44  
Ye are of your father the 
devil, and the lusts of your 
father ye will do. He was 
a murderer from the 
beginning, and abode not 
in the truth, because there 
is no truth in him. When he 
speaketh a lie, he speaketh 
of his own: for he is a liar, 
and the father of it. 

That's the bad news. But 
please keep reading for 
the good news of how to 
find comfort during these 
troubled times we live in.
John 16:33  
These things I have 
spoken unto you, that in 
me ye might have peace. 
In the world ye shall 
have tribulation: but be 
of good cheer; I have 
overcome the world.

Receive comfort from 
"the God of all Comfort", 
and share that comfort 
with others.

2 Corinthians
1:3  Blessed be God,
 even the Father of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, the 
Father of mercies, and 
the God of all comfort; 

1:4 Who comforteth us 
in all our tribulation, that 
we may be able to 
comfort them which are
in any trouble, by the 
comfort wherewith we 
ourselves are 
comforted of God. 

Mourn with those who 
are mourning. 

Romans 12:15 
Rejoice with them that do
rejoice, and weep with 
them that weep. 

Jesus said to fear 
(reverence) God and to 
not fear what man can 
do to us.

Matthew 10:28 
And fear not them which 
kill the body, but are not 
able to kill the soul: but 
rather fear him which is 
able to destroy both soul 
and body in hell. 

Hebrews
13:5(b) for he [Jesus 
Christ] hath said, I will 
never leave thee, nor 
forsake thee. 

13:6 So that we may 
boldly say, The Lord is 
my helper, and I will not 
fear what man shall do 
unto me. 

When afraid, be comforted 
by the Comforter (the Holy 
Ghost) who lives within 
every believer. Jesus
Christ said:

John
14:25 These things have 
I spoken unto you, being 
yet present with you. 

14:26 But the Comforter, 
which is the Holy Ghost
whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach 
you all things, and bring 
all things to your 
remembrance, 
whatsoever I have said 
unto you. 

14:27 Peace I leave 
with you, my peace 
I give unto you: not as 
the world giveth, give 
I unto you. Let not 
your heart be troubled, 
neither let it be afraid. 

We can be sure that 
God is with us even when 
we are going through life 
threatening situations. 
When Stephen was being 
stoned to death, here is 
what he said:

Acts
7:55 But he [Stephen], 
being full of the Holy 
Ghost, looked up 
stedfastly into heaven, 
and saw the glory of God, 
and Jesus standing on 
the right hand of God,

7:56 And said, Behold, 
I see the heavens 
opened, and the Son 
of man [Jesus Christ] 
standing on the right 
hand of God. 

These next verses are 
some of my favorites 
because they encourage 
me to know that no matter 
what bad stuff we
encounter in our lives, 
God has sent his angels 
to watch over us. 

Elisha and his servant 
woke up and found 
themselves surrounded 
by an army; and the 
servant panicked. But listen
to Elisha's prayer to God 
to open the servant's eyes 
so he could see that
those who are living for 
God are protected by 
God's army (of angels)! 
No matter what, we will 
not die until God's 
purpose for our lives 
on this earth is 
completed.

2 Kings
6:15 And when the servant 
of the man of God [Elisha] 
was risen early, and gone 
forth, behold, an host 
compassed the city both 
with horses and chariots. 
And his servant said unto 
him, Alas, my master! 
how shall we do? 

6:16 And he answered, 
Fear not: for they that 
be with us are more 
than they that be with 
them. 

6:17 And Elisha prayed, 
and said, LORD, I pray 
thee, open his eyes, 
that he may see. And 
the LORD opened the 
eyes of the young man; 
and he saw: and, behold, 
the mountain was full of 
horses and chariots of 
fire round about Elisha. 

Comfort yourself that 
God is always with us
to protect us!
