Daily Devotional. Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; AND WALKING IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD , AND IN THE COMFORT OF THE HOLY GHOST, were multiplied. Acts 9:31. Murderer Saul is now Minister Paul, and the young churches now have some breathing room to be about the church’s business. The churches here have a very Holy and Righteous Fear of the Lord. They Know what the Lord is capable of when someone lies to Him, and they dare not cross Him. And they also Live in the Comfort of the Holy Spirit knowing that He will keep them on the straight and narrow path when walking WITH the lord, and the knowledge of how to be careful not to walk against the lord. Be careful, this is not a, “God will get me if I mess up”, this is Comfort that the lord Loves me and I don’t WANT to mess up. Christians don’t look over their shoulder hoping God’s not after them, they are looking over their shoulder checking to be sure they are walking the straight and narrow, Loving the opportunity to Desire to Walk in Obedience to every thought the Holy Spirit whispers to them. It’s a Love so strong it hurts them to even think of unintentionally disobeying Him. And did you notice the little part that in their Fear and Comfort, THE CHURCHES GREW??? They had no Wall Street gurus, or, “Here’s my system, pay me I’ll show you how to grow”, people, no experts fleecing the sheep, no, all they had was a Fear and Love in balance and so strong, THEY JUST WANTED TO SIMPLY LOVE GOD WITH ALL THEIR BEING, no frills, no foolishness, no un-Godly stuff, just Love the Lord as the Holy Spirit showed them how. And THAT spread like wildfire. Even Satan couldn’t touch it. Now the GOoD News, IT’S COMING BACK, AND IT’S NOT IN CHURCHES, (4 walls…), IT’S IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!! Dear Followers, that’s you and me And WE will, Be Blessed.
