HIS PEACE, OUR PEACE: ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS JESUS LEFT US WAS HIS PEACE. PEACE IS SOMETHING VERYONE WANTS BUT SO MANY RARELY FIND IT. IT CAN BE YOURS ALL YOU HAVE TO ALLOW JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE AND SAVE YOU. PEACE CAN’T BE BOUGHT OR BORROWED, IT HAS TO BE ACCEPTED. JESUS IS OUR PEACE!
RECAP: LAST MONTH I TALKED ABOUT EXPERIENCING GOD’S PEACE THROUGH THANKFULNESS! SOMETIMES WE GET SO FOCUSED ON THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH OR THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING TO US THAT WE ALLOW THEM TO ROB OF US OUR PEACE BUT WE MUST MEMBER THAT IT IS THROUGH BE THANKFUL IN SPITE OF US SUSTAINS US IN THE PEACE OF GOD!
INTRODUCTION: WALKING AND LIVING IN PEACE!
Ephesians 6:14-15- 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Romans 8:6- 6 For to be [a]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Numbers 6:24-26- 24 “May the Lord bring good to you and keep you. 25 May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be kind to you. 26 May the Lord show favor toward you, and give you peace.”’
I read a post the other day that a client said to his therapist “ he said he let some things slide that bother him to “keep the peace” and therapist response to him was “that sounds nice, but you’re only keeping the peace around you but what about the peace in you!” I said to say, walking in peace is will not always look good!
We must realize that God has peace for us and what God has ordained cannot be denied, He has commanded His blessing of peace over our lives, mind, and heart! We have to walking in this peace so that when the disruptions come in our lives, we it want cause us to fall because we are rooted and grounded
The word that is used to used to describe God is Shalom which means to be whole, save, sound, secure, complete, finished, and to prosper. It other words when you are walking and living in the peace of God, nothing is missing, and nothing is broken,
This kind of peace can only happen when we are in a right relationship with God. Jesus desire for us was to live a life filled with peace, we are called peacemakers. It through faith that we have this peace, it does not come from any other source.
