EXCERPTS FROM
“Who Needs A Comforter?”
“"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you
as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do
not be afraid." (John
The world does not give us peace. One of the benefits of a relationship with the Holy Spirit, as claimed by many of the people I have spoken to, is experiencing a peace which they have rarely experienced before. This peace possibly was experienced when they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. God’s peace, the peace of the Holy Spirit, filled them again when they rested in the Spirit.
This book is more than a book of experiences. It is full of comments, questions, suggestions and "how to" ideas about becoming a better friend and a comforter to others. God is the ultimate Comforter but you can be a comforter too. Chapter 1 – Page 16

“Religion is a belief in a doctrine and
Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
People can have Religion but not Christianity. People can believe in Christianity but not have Christianity. Do you have Christianity or just Religion?" Chapter 3- Page 26
------------------------------------------------------------
"People say that God works in many different ways and there are many different ways to God. If you have found the peace that passes all understanding, the peace of Christ in your heart, with your present beliefs; Praise God! Stick with what you are doing! However, if you have questions or are disturbed by life, read this chapter ....." Chapter 12 -- Page 113

"Will I be a better person if I receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? Yes, you will get to know the author of the Word. You will better understand God's word, the Bible. You will be better able to handle the ups and downs of life, assuming you have released your long-held burden or burdens. God will be able to bless you with MORE abundance." Chapter 13-page 131.

About the Book
When the thought of writing a book on the Holy Spirit came to my mind, I immediately asked, "Why me Lord?", I am not an ordained clergy. Some of the answers I received are in the book. In summary the key thoughts are:
1- A person is not too old or too young to be a comforter.
2- Most people have burdens.
3- Most people desire peace in the world and in their lives.
4- Most people have a fear of the unknown.
5- Experience counts!
6- We all can be comforters (ministers) to someone.
7- God is faithful.
While I was contemplating this book many interesting things have happened in the world:
1- On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Centers in New York City were destroyed.
2- A tsunami hit the Indian Ocean area in 2003.
3- In February, 2003 Kenneth Hagin had a vision.
4- Oral Roberts had a vision in 2004 concerning the second coming of Jesus.
5- In 2005- 2007 there have been many devasting fires, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes throughout the world.
Even before Oral Roberts prophecy became public the Lord was leading me to believe:
"My people are not ready for the second coming of My Son, Jesus Christ".
I believe this is because we have not received the Holy Spirit as Jesus intended us to. Hopefully this book will open many eyes (and hearts) to the third part of the Trinty with its resultant power and hence miracles. God has much more for us!
The basic concept of this book is very, very, very pertinent to the world today and the near future. I believe- until "My People" accept the fullness of the Trinty, including the Holy Spirit, they will not be ready for the return of "My Son, Jesus Christ".
