PEACE Forevermore
Peace – in Hebrew means shalom, peace, health.
Peace – in the Greek means unity, concord.
Peace – in English means state of tranquility or quiet: freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions: harmony in personal relations: a state or period of mutual concord between governments.
(Isaiah 26;3) – “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Our mind shouldn’t be on; what this person said or did. But we should keep our minds on him! There is a natural peace and a spiritual peace. We need to have the Lords spiritual peace in all of our hearts and minds. If we have his spiritual peace when the enemy attacks us in our natural lives we will still have peace in our hearts and minds. Just because things are in a disarray we shouldn’t let Satan or circumstances rob us of His peace. A lot of people who are Christians or profess to be Christians do not have his peace. They do not have peace because fear has gripped their lives.
(1John 4;16-18) “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
We can’t have peace if we have fear! We have fear if we don’t have perfect love.
In order to have peace we will have to have perfect love. These are the steps we take to have perfect love which brings forth peace(1 Corinthians 13;4-8)!
Suffereth long!
Is kind!
Envieth not!
Vaunteth not itself!
Is not puffed up!
Doth not behave itself unseemly!
Seeketh not her own!
Is not easily provoked!
Thinketh no evil!
Rejoiceth not in iniquity!
Rejoiceth in the truth!
Beareth all things!
Believeth all things!
Hopeth all things!
Endureth all things!
Charity never faileth!
(1Corinthians 13;10) “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.”
When we have perfect love we shall be made whole and shall have perfect peace! Remember the women with the issue of blood. All she had to do was touch the hem of Jesus’s garment and she was made whole! (Matthew 9:20,21) “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.”
(Philippians 4;7) “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
We have the peace of God after we get saved. In order to have his peace we must keep his commandments. If we don’t it causes war between the flesh and the spirit. Which is turmoil!
