PEACE






PEACE

 

If your PEACE depends upon everything going the way you think it should go... 

…that's not PEACE...

...that is control. 

 

PEACE is found in a person (Christ)...

       ...and what HE believes...

   ...not a feeling rooted in situation or circumstance.

 

Learn to be steady through the uncertainty...

       ...through the times of stormy turbulence. 

 

Learn to SPEAK WITH HIM to the storm, “PEACE BE STILL!” (Mk4:39)

 

Then you will find true PEACE. 

 

 

Jn14:27NKJV

PEACE I leave with you, My PEACE I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

“PEACE” eirḗnē (from eiro "to join, tie together into a whole") – properly, wholeness, i.e. when all essential parts are joined together; PEACE – GOD’S GIFT OF WHOLENESS!

 

 

Lk10:5-6NKJV

But whatever house you enter, first say, 'PEACE to this house.' And if a son of PEACE is there, your PEACE will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.

 

In the Old Testament the Hebrew word most often translated “PEACE” is “shalom”.

 

It is the Hebrew counterpart for the Greek word, “eirene,” meaning “complete wholeness”.

 

COMPLETE AND WHOLE…

·       …Peace,

·       …completeness,

·       …well-being,

·       …safety,

·       …prosperity,

·       …rest

·       …(X all is, be) well,

·       …favor,

·       …good health,

·       …happiness

 

 

Isa9:6NKJV “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the GOVERNMENT will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, PRINCE OF PEACE. (shalom)”

 

 

Col3:15AMPC  “And let the PEACE (eirene) (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that PEACEFUL state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].

 

 

Isa26:3NKJV “You will keep him in perfect PEACE (shalom), Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”

 

HIS DESIRE FOR US…

                                                      …PEACE… WHOLENESS

 

 1Cor14:33ESV reads, “For God is not a God of confusion but of PEACE (eirene).”

 

Ph4:6-7AMP “Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.

And the PEACE of God

[that PEACE which reassures the heart,

that PEACE] which transcends all understanding,

[that PEACE which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

[is yours].”

 

SHALOM… WHOLENESS…

                                                   …PEACE!

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
