Richard Roberts Comfort in Times of Trial

As long as you are on this earth, you are going to have trials. Devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy every-thing you hold dear (John 10:10). Es-pecially if you are serving God with a fervency. I know this from experience.

In 1984 Lindsay gave birth to a beauti-ful baby boy, Richard Oral. He used to be a miracle from God, because for a long time it had seemed like we would not be able to have youngsters. We were over-joyed! But just 36 hours after his birth, he snuffed it in my arms.
As we put his little body in the ground, devil started to mock us. This is curtains for you. You can never pray for the sick again, and you will never see any more miracles. It's all over for you." And in the natural, it looked as if satan was right.

When you are facing an overwhelming trial like that, you can become daunted and want to give up. After his conversion, he turned into a person on fire for Jesus, and that is when satan let him have it.

And the Holy Spirit comforted him.

"You're in the healing ministry, and you couldn't even get your own little boy healed. This is the end for you. It's all over for you." And in the natural, it looked as if satan was right.

When you face a devastating trial like that, you can become discouraged and want to quit. This is when you have to go to the Word. There you see awe-some examples of faith that will en-courage you. Think about the apostle Paul.

Paul was stoned and left for dead, whipped, shipwrecked, and snake-bitten (Acts 14:19; 16:22-23; 27; 28:3-6). Paul went through every-thing you can imagine, but he knew he was on the right track because satan was chasing him so hard. And the Holy Spirit comforted him.
