Peace Coming Out of the Fog

'Jesus replied, “Now you finally believe in me. And the time has come when you will all be scattered, and each one of you will go your own way, leaving me alone! Yet I am never alone, for the Father is always with me. And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!” John 16;31-33 (TPT)

The Bible says that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Right there in the midst of all these amazing promises is peace. John's gospel documents this event in the life of Jesus but these are the words of Jesus himself. What do we know about Jesus and what He says to us? All truth. Nothing but the truth, and we even put an oath to God with it. He made this personal statement to His disciples before He was crucified, but the facts remain, in Him and through the works of the Spirit we can find peace, even in the midst of our struggles and fear, peace beyond all understanding coming out of the fog. That is to the level of perfect peace. When we see Him we can know it. Why wouldn't we want it? It only costs you -nothing. You only gain -everything! 

When we find ourselves full of anxiety and worry it is a good time to find a quiet place to read the scriptures and to listen to encouraging worship music and to pray for peace. For even now we see the effects of an unbelieving world all around us and to the ends of the earth. For the believer, we can find our courage in Him, for he did in fact conquer the world. The peace of Christ is to rule in our lives. His ways bring peace. Peaceful living. We can know the Father who is ever present with us. His peace will be in me, building up my confidence, enabling me to find my rest. My confidence in Him alone gives me strength; to face my fears, to withstand the troubles of the day as the storms of life rage against me, to face my sorrows as life deals yet another deathblow. Pray for peace. Righteousness and peace, that is my prayer. Pray for everyone to live in peace with everyone else and to be holy. Righteousness and peace, it depends on me. Pray for everyone to seek peace and to turn from evil. I choose to do good. I pray for revival in the hearts of people all across this great country. I pray for another spiritual Great Awakening in America!

Arise all ye leaders, warriors and great men of valor to the truth. Put down your weapons of war and take up the cross of Christ. Enough! Haven't we seen enough fighting? No more of your lies, death, destruction and blood shed. End it now. No more of your evil ways. Live together in harmony and stop your striving. Tipping my magic peace wand and claiming my vision. Peace, like a fog, passing over the land. Someday soon we will see it come to pass.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
