Jesus called the Holy Spirit the Comforter. Everything God does He does with His Word, by His Holy Spirit. If you look in Genesis 1:2&3 you see the Spirit moving and then God spoke and it was! It is the same all through the scriptures. He gives the Holy Spirit to them that obey Him. That is why I have been stressing how important it is to come to Jesus with all your heart and know Him. He will comfort you by His Spirit. Religion is there to convince us that we know him and we have the Holy Spirit and we believe and we are justified and we don't need to change, when actually we are blind and poor and miserable and wretched and too prideful to admit it. God grants His grace to the humble. It is a daily walk of repentance and believing the Gospel, and seeking Him. He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. When the Father raised His Son from the dead, He raised you with Him!
In Luke 11:13 Jesus said, If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? He said ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and it shall be opened.
If you are in the midst of a great trial of your faith, it is for your good, for your perfection. Jesus changes us by breaking us. As you continue to trust Him He will bring you through this. He never intended for us to walk as a Christian without the Comforter. So seek after the fullness of His Spirit coming upon you and filling you with His Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Ghost! The Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power!
