BY My Peace

Image
      John 14:27       Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.        Peace! Peace! Peace! Why is it in this world peace is so hard to find? The answer is easy to understand if you believe the word of God when it says that there is an enemy to man running to and fro, up and down on this earth looking to cause trouble for as many as he can.   He (satan) has set up world systems in the earth to cause all types of fear in the hearts of people. He makes people think that they must have this or that in order to live a happy life. This pursuit of happiness causes life to be downgraded from abundant life to just a daily existence.      The word happy means to feel or show pleasure or contentment while having a sense of confidence in or satisfaction with a person, arrangement, or situation. The world is set up to cause displeasure, discontentment with a sense of no confidence in or no sa

Like A Flood

Image
  ISAIAH   59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.       Welcome to perilous times! Perilous times are days that are filled with danger, hazards and risk that are known and unknown. We exist in a world that seems to be spinning out of control, with no clear direction that will give the people of the world true peace and prosperity. More and more it's every person for themselves and forget the next guy. This is just what the bible said the last days would be like. Without divine intervention, man will one day destroy himself.       The bible says we will known these times by the way people behave. The world system set up by satan comes in like a flood and effects all the people in the world. It sets us up to think that the most important thing is to take care of yourself first. In all things that matter think self firs

Call Upon Me

Image
  JEREMIAH 33:1-3       Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Thus say the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou know not.       The bible says that the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison. Often, in these days and times, we too feel that we are imprisoned by the ways of this world system. Our health, relationships and finances are under the control of a system set up by satan to destroy all mankind. He wants us to believe that all our needs can be met if we dig deep within ourselves. He wants us to think that WE are the solution to all our problems. Any problem we can not solve, just blame it on someone else.      The bible also says that God the Father is no respecter of persons. This means there is a basic way that he

Covered

Image
Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.      The basic meaning of the word armor is a protective covering. Natural armor is made of a material that is strong and tough. It's purpose is to cover every area of the body that is open to attack by an enemy. Still, the best armor that is available to naturally protect man today, is unable to protect him from the thing that hurts him the most, sin. This is because sin works from the inside of man. Man alone can never protect himself from what is naturally inside him.      Enter the Lord Jesus Christ. His shed blood paid the price for all our sins. This makes it possible for the sin inside us to be made powerless. Through Jesus Christ we can now be protected from sin from the inside out, in the spirit and the natural. This means that if the sin inside us is powerless, then the only way our enemy

Perfect Peace

Image
  Isaiah 26:3 Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusts in thee.       When the word perfect is used to describe something, it is saying that, that certain something is as good as it is possible for it to be. The word peace means freedom from disturbance. This means the absence of all violent or confrontational activity within or without that certain something. Perfect peace means complete freedom from every type of disturbance that could possibly affect man.       For us to have peace, we feel the need for  our relationships, our health and our finances to be free of disturbance. When something negative happens in these three areas of life, our peace is disturbed. Stress in these areas tend to  locked our minds into patterns of thinking how to end the stress. This is hard to do because stress is most likely being generated by pride in us or others connected to us. This makes it almost impossible to be corrected by natural means because pride

Progressive Relationship

Image
  Proverbs 1:2-4   To know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity, To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.      Man was created to know God. Man was created to perceive God. Man was created to receive God. Man was created to give unto God. Man was created by God to be his glorified  reflection in the earth. Man was to use his life to worship and glorify God. He was to do it out of a true loving relationship with God and not out of some kind of religious obligation toward God.      In short and keeping things simple, man is to know, perceive, receive and give God, first to himself, and then to all those around him who he is responsible to influence. Anyone who comes to Christ and receives him, must first be given information about Jesus Christ. This is the beginning of getting to know him.       They then must perceive the information to the point of awaren

Lord You Know Me

Image
  Psalm 139:1 O Lord, thou has searched me, and know me.       Since the dawn of time man has in each generation uncovered things hidden in the earth that have led to the discovery of inventions. The inventions in most cases have been used for both good and bad. The creator of the invention had a specific goal in mind, but often times others took the same invention and used it for other purposes. When this happens the true intention or purpose of the thing created can sometimes be lost forever. Only the creator can look within the thing created and see the purpose he intended. Only the creator can look within the creation to see if it is operating correctly. Only the creator can truly see what is right and what is wrong with his creation.      Everyone that has ever lived on this planet at one time or another has felt the presence of the creator. At that moment man knew that there was someone higher than man. The bible says in Genesis 1:26 that man was made in the image of God. This me
