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.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
