COMFORT OF THE MINISTRY

John's vision continued.

     And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And 
	he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, 
	Fear not; I am the first and the last: 
	Rev 1:17 

John fell as though dead upon seeing this awesome spectacle. 
And immediately Christ laid the same right hand upon him as 
which held the seven stars. The ministry gives forth
God's Word, and when light is given, truths which were formerly 
mysteries are said to be prophesied. The revealing of any true 
saying is a "prophecy". Prophecy is never meant to be condemning. 

     But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, 
	and exhortation, and comfort.
	1 Cor 14:3 

The power of anointing from Christ (His right hand) upon the ministry 
comforts the believer's hearts, as He did John. The Spirit which the 
ministry ministers is called the Comforter. 

     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.
	John 14:26
