IN TIMES OF AFFLICTION PT.2

'Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.' - James 5 vs 13

Hello Dearly Beloved in the LORD Jesus Christ. Be Guided by this word which has the ability to point you towards your liberation and lifting all for your Peace. AMEN.

Our opening scripture brings the word 'affliction' to mind. It tells us what to do when we are afflicted. Now, we know that the word 'affliction' has its root to the word 'pain', and because of the nature of the message I am given by GOD, I'd like to direct this teaching to the pain of restlessness and peacelessness in heart.

Now, we go through different things everyday, and face diverse challenges and trials, we fall into diverse kind of troubles, and these things we face sometimes have ways of affecting our Peace, causing us heaviness and restlessness. That's an affliction. Now in times like that, what do you do? You Pray! There's a Realm Prayer introduces us to during times of distress, and that Realm is what I call the Realm of knowing the Holy Spirit as 'My Counselor'. - Selah. Counselor is one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit the Bible introduces to us looking at the Book of John 15 vs 26;

'But when the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, whom I will send...' - {AMPLIFIED Bible}

You see, the Holy Spirit there is referred to as the Counselor. What's the job of a Counselor? The job of a Counselor according to the Oxford English Dictionary is 'Adviser, Person giving professional guidance on personal problems.' This is who the Holy Spirit is to you, HE's a Professional at any issue, and this is the ministry you'll begin to experience as you Pray.

As you Pray, you'll experience that scriptures relating to the issue you're suffering of pops up in your heart, and when your soul receives a word that totally addresses the issue, Peace becomes the resultant effect, and suddenly you are free and have found your Peace again. You see that? That's the Counseling ministry of the Holy Spirit best experienced in the place of Prayer.
