My Eternal Comfort Through the Suffering of Jesus

Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am - 1:30pm (UK time)

Hebrews 2:10-18 (KJV)

10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

As true children of God, our earthly challenges and whatever we suffer for our Faith are pointers that solidify our eternal comfort in God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
             
PRIVILEGES THAT ARE POINTERS TO OUR “ETERNAL COMFORT”
    Believing on the name of Jesus – The Name that gives us an exceeding weight of glory here on earth and in heaven: met all the conditions in heaven, on earth and under the earth for our benefits (Philippians 2:9-11).

John 1:12 - “But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
Prayer:

- Thank You Lord for “The Name of Jesus” that has met all the conditions both in heaven    and here on earth for me.
- Lord increase my faith in the name of Jesus, and the power that is embedded in it.
- Help me to endure all hardship that are tagged to my perfection in the Name of Jesus.
- Baptise me into all the divine benefits that are in The Name of Jesus.

     Endearing relationship with Christ – mysterious relationship that releases consecrated. influences upon us through the sanctifying Spirit of God (John 20:22-23).

2nd Thessalonians 2: 13-14 –“13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

- Lord please help me to live the nature of Christ, carrying Your Will and Your Mind in all things.
- Align my life with the consecrated influences that accompany my eternal comfort.
- Make my life and labour the avenue of Your glory.
- Baptise me with the knowledge of my oneness with Christ, and keep me rooted in this knowledge.


    The privilege of being called brethren with Christ – not only as in the flesh, but also as spirit to spirit. Jesus had first class experience of griefs and temptations. (Hebrews 2:18)

Hebrews 4:15-16 - “14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Prayer:

- Lord please increase my capacity for the power that dominates sin and satan.
- Open my eyes to what makes me the same with Jesus in everything, and in every way.
- Lord please deliver me from all overwhelming situations that are beclouding my stand in You

- GRANT ME A LASTING ENCOUNTER THAT SOLIDIFIES MY COMFORT IN CHRIST THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – “THE COMFORTER”!
