Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

*HE WAS MADE TO WANT TO BE COMFORTED. SO
THEN IF HE DOESN'T ACCEPT GOD'S WAY, THEN HE'LL TAKE A WAY FOR HIMSELF.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
34 So if man... He was made to want to be comforted. So then if he doesn't accept God's way, then he'll take a way for himself. And he'll try to substitute something to take the place of that Holy Spirit. Oh, I want you to listen to it. A man or a woman that will not accept the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, will try to comfort themselves with some violent substitute that Satan will present to them. Satan's just got plenty of substitutes. But why do we have to have a substitute, when the Pentecostal skies are full of real? Why would I eat from a garbage can when a clean table's setting full of choicey food? There would be something mentally wrong with me if I did that. Now, what a pity it is to see that man will try to substitute something to take that place. Sometimes he'll try to ease his conscience by going out...
*GOD GAVE US SOMETHING TO COMFORT US: THE
HOLY SPIRIT, GOD'S COMFORTER. THESE THINGS ARE ONLY SUBSTITUTE THAT'LL FINALLY
LEAD TO A PLACE RIOTING…

36 When they get around about thirty years old, they get the blues. They
think that, "Then because that I have gotten this old, I haven't sowed
enough wild oats yet." And they--they try to
sometimes cheat in their marriage vows, both men and women; they're both
guilty. What's the matter? It's something that they are
lacking.
Sometimes they'll take to
drinking. And after they get older, why, they'll go down to the barroom,
and they'll start to drinking. And when they drink, and try to drink it away.
Just a few drinks, and--and then it brings some more drinks, and after while
they end up an alcoholic.
38 And sometimes to be popular, they'll watch television on the--and on
the streets, and smoking, the lowest thing that women has done in the twentieth
century, when women started smoking cigarettes.
That's the greatest fifth columnist this nation ever had. It breaks morals;
it--it--it sends these institutions out here full of insanity people; it sends
the hospitals full of tubercular, cancer cases, and everything developing from
it, and yet they do it to get comfort.
God gave us something to comfort us: the Holy Spirit, God's Comforter. These things are only substitute that'll finally lead to a place rioting, and cheating, and stealing, and doing things wrong.
*THE ONLY COMFORTER, THE ONLY ONE WHO
CAN--KNOWS HOW TO CARE FOR US, FOR WE CAN'T EVEN CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
46 …..You think you're getting by with
something, but finally you'll end up with a pistol to the side of your head,
and blow your brains out, or jump from some scaffold somewhere, or kill
yourself, take poison, dope, or something, and go into a miserable condition,
and die and go to a devil's hell, because you've rejected the-- the real cure.
We got a cure. Calvary's that cure. Christ is the Cure. And He is the only cure, the only foundation, the only way. There's things that you can get from Christ that you can't get from nowhere else. Christ is the way; not a way, it's the way. The church is fine; we love them; but the church is not the way. Jesus is the Way. Can't cast your cares upon the church, the church has no salvation. It can only point you to Jesus, Who is the only Salvation. He is the Way, the Truth, the Life. The only way to the Father is through Jesus. The only Comforter, the only One Who can--knows how to care for us, for we can't even care for one another.
*AND THE CHURCH IS THE LIFE OF GOD ON
EARTH, AND HE WANTS TO COMFORT HIS CHURCH.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
52 And the Church is the Life
of God on earth, and He wants to comfort His Church.
And how it would be, if you
knowed that wiping the fevered brow of your child would comfort it, and it
would refuse, and spit in your face, and reach and get a bottle of whiskey or
something to take instead--instead of the touch of the mother's hand or
something.
That's what we do when we turn to other remedies. There's many remedies, but one Cure. Christ is the Cure, and the only Cure in this. He cares for us. He loves us, and He wants us to come to Him. God made us that way, that holy thing in us that wants to be comforted.
*GOD
GAVE MAN A WIFE TO COMFORT HIM, TO TOUCH HIM.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
55 God gave man a wife to
comfort him, to touch him. And any man knows, that's got a good
wife, there's something about a good wife that can... A man be upset in his
business or--or his walks of life, and can come home; no matter, there's no
one, no doctor...
…..And just a few little pats from the wife mean so much: same thing, a husband to a wife. That's the way God want it to be.
*“THY
ROD AND THY STAFF THEY COMFORT ME, EVEN IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOWS OF
DEATH."
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
60 And even all those comforters that the Lord has given us, when it comes down to the end of the journey, and we are pressing a pillow against our fevered brow and dying, our wife can only stand, and the tears run down her face, with her eyes up towards God. Our friend can pat us on the shoulder and shake our hands, and stand, wringing his hands, because he can go no farther. But then when the Comforter, as David said, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I'll fear no evil. Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me, even in the valley of the shadows of death."
*Why is it man thirsts and hungered?
Because when he was made, he was made and created with a little place in him
that God dwelt to comfort him.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
61 Why is it man thirsts and
hungered? Because when he was made, he was made and
created with a little place in him that God dwelt to comfort him. And when he
shook hisself away from God by sin, then that place is vacant. And that's why
he's hungering for it, reaching for it.
And the trouble today, with us Christians, I'm afraid
we're not doing all we can do to show our fallen brother that that's what's the
matter with him. That's what's the matter with juvenile delinquency, is because
there's been a delinquency in the church and a delinquency in the home, that's
made the juvenile a delinquency.
That's the reason that the beatniks and so forth are on
the streets a-jumping up and down, and is growing all these things, is because they're trying to find something to satisfy.
*THERE'S NOTHING WILL SATISFY LIKE THE
COMING OF THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST, THAT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR
ATTITUDES
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
64 Let me say this tonight in the
Name of the Lord Jesus: There's nothing will satisfy
like the coming of the power of the Holy Ghost, that'll change your life and
your attitudes, and give you comfort and Eternal Life.
There is a Fountain
filled with Blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's
veins,
When sinners plunge
beneath the flood,
Lose all their guilty
stain.
A wife might comfort and pat. A friend might set down and
give good advice. But there's only one thing that can
take away sin, that's the Blood of the Lord Jesus.
What can take away my
sin?
Nothing but the Blood
of Jesus;
What can make me whole
again?
Nothing but the Blood
of Jesus.
As the writer said:
Oh, precious is that
flow
That makes me white as
snow;
*AS
WE SET TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT COMING
THROUGH THE WORD, COMING DOWN, COMFORTING, GIVING CONSOLATION.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
66 That's it. That cleanses, and
purifies, and brings in a fellowship, "A little while and the world will see Me no more. Yet
ye shall see Me, for I (a personal pronoun) will be with you, even in you, to
the end of the world. And when He the Holy Spirit has come, He will come--be
the Comforter the Father will send in My Name. He'll show you things to come and
bring things to your remembrance." When? As we set together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, the
Holy Spirit coming through the Word, coming down, comforting, giving
consolation.
