The second principle of multiplication is know the comfort of the Holy Ghost.
The Greek word translated “Comforter” or “Counselor”) is parakletos. This form of the word is unquestionably passive and properly means “one called to the side of another,” with the secondary notion of counseling or supporting him. This Counselor, or Paraclete, is God the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity. He is a personal being who indwells every believer.
During His earthly ministry, Jesus had guided, guarded, and taught His disciples; but now He was going to leave them. The Spirit of God would come to the disciples and dwell in them, taking the place of their Master's literal presence. Jesus called the Spirit “another Comforter”—another of the same kind. The Spirit of God is not different from the Son of God in essence, for both are God.
During the Old Testament age, the Spirit of God would come on people and then leave them. God's Spirit departed from King Saul (1 Samuel 16:14;18:12).

David, when confessing his sin, asked that the Spirit not be taken from him (Psalm 51:11).
But when the Spirit was given at Pentecost, He came to God's people to remain with them forever. We may grieve the Holy Spirit, but He will not leave us.
As Jesus said in Matthew 28:20, “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” How is He with us when He is in heaven, seated at the right hand of the Father? He is with us by His Spirit (the Helper—theParakletos).
To have the Holy Spirit as our Paraclete is to have God Himself indwelling us as believers. The Spirit teaches us the Word and guides us into truth. He reminds us of what He has taught so that we can depend on His Word in the difficult times of life.
The Spirit works in us to give us His peace (John 14:27), His love (John 15:9–10), and His joy (John 15:11).
He is a comfort our hearts and minds in a troubled world. The power of the indwelling Paraclete gives us the ability to live by the Spirit and “not gratify the desires of the sinful flesh” (Galatians 5:16). The Spirit can then produce His fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22–23) to the glory of God the Father. What a blessing to have the Holy Spirit in our lives as our Paraclete—our Comforter, our Encourager, our Counselor, and our Advocate!
When we walk in the comfort of the Holy Ghost we are walking trusting in God in every area. When you walk in the fear of the Lord you will walk in the comfort of the Holy Ghost.
If you are ever going to be successful serving God you have to look as sin as God looks at sin and know that God will never leave you or forsake you. When you trust in the comfort of the Holy Ghost there is no room for doubt and disbelief.
Faith is always found in reverence and trust. Multiplication of the kingdom of God is found in seeing what God sees and living that way then trusting He always has your back and His best for you.
When this starts taking place in your life you will surely multiply.
