Peace

2 Thesssalonians 3: 16
Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace (the peace of His kingdom) at ALL times and in ALL ways (under all circumstances and conditions whatever comes). The Lord be with you all.

Jesus is also called The Prince of Peace.

So peace is not a feeling or a sentiment. Peace is a person and He is Jesus. When we have Jesus, we have His peace. We already have it. We don't have to ask for it. It is a given when we are born again. Just as Jesus lives within us, we have His peace all the time regardless of the storms and trials and tribulations swirling around us.

Remember when He was woken up from his sleep in the boat when the storm arose and the disciples were terrified, He just spoke to the elements and said, Peace, be still. Can I then in the midst of storm, be still like Jesus and speak peace into my situations. He has the first and last word. My circumstances have to bow to the peace and stop the turbulence at His name.

John 14: 27 refers to the same peace. "Peace I leave with you; My own peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. "

The peace of Jesus is not like the peace of the world. Peace of the world can be changed in an instant. Peace of the world is fragile and is subject to feelings and conditions. But the Peace of God is from everlasting to everlasting because it is bequeathed from Him. And what is of God will never fail, will never rust, will never spoil and God's peace is just like Him, it never changes no matter what happens.

The peace of God can also crush Satan. The opposite of peace is turmoil and fear. Turmoil and fear are of the devil. So when we have the peace of God, we have ammunition to destroy fear and turmoil. PEACE IS A WEAPON when we refuse to be upset and disturbed. Alleluia!!!!

Christ died to bridge the gulf between us and the Father and by so doing, he established peace by becoming our sin bearer so that the Father's wrath can be satiated and peace can reign.

God is also the author and giver of peace (Hebrews 13: 20)

Peace is always GIVEN. This means we only have to receive it.

IN SHORT, I HAVE THE PEACE OF GOD IN EVERY WAY.



Jesus is also called the Counsel of Peace
