The Peace That Comes With Knowing God!

There is a certain peace and calm that comes with knowing God! God is our father whom we can confidently expect the fruits of the spirit. In Galatians 5: 22-23 love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance are all fruits that are manifested in the spirit of God in our lives!

In John 14:27 the word says, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

God is with us and He is a present help in the time of storm. 

In Isaiah 26:3 the word says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on the: because he trusted in thee. 

Our trust should not be in this world, but in God who made heaven and Earth.

In Philippians 4: 6-7 & 9 the word says, 6 Be careful for nothing: but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

We are to intrust our lives to God and make our request known unto Him, the author and finisher of our faith!

In Isaiah 32:17 the word says, And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 

We as believers should have an assurance that those things we bring before the father will be answered! We should have peace when we go to the father!

In 1 Corinthians 14:33 the word says, For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Our God is the author of peace in our lives! If you have confusion in your life or home it does not come from the father!

Just know that in Romans 8:28 the word says, And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.

It may not always seem as though things are working in your favor, but when we continue to pray and put our lives in God's hands all things will work out in our favor!

Then in Romans 12:18 the word says we should, If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

We as believers should not have strife, bitterness, nor malice in our hearts, but we are to walk in love and be at peace with others. So, go in love and peace and know if you keep your mind stayed on Him He will keep you in perfect peace!

Letting Go of Fear, Anxiety, and Worry!

Now that we have started a new year everyone is starting new year resolutions. Some people want to eat healthier. Some want to have better spending habits. And others want to have a closer walk with Christ. These are all good things to incorporate into the new year, but one could also start the new year off by letting go of fear, anxiety and worry. These are not fruits of the spirit and they can hinder one's ability in life.   In 2 Timothy 1:7 it says, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Fear, anxiety, and worry are in this world, but it is not given to us by God. If it is not given to us by God we should not hold onto it.   In Isaiah 26:3 it says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.  We should put all our trust in God! If God is leading us we will not fail and we should not have fear or anxiety following God. In Exodus 14:13-14 it says, And Moses said unt...

The Gift!

Since we are in the month of December I would like to talk about gifts! Biblically thinking there are three types of gifts. There are gifts that we give to one another, like on special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Then we think of sacrificial offerings presented to God. And lastly, there are gifts God gives to us, such as salvation, righteousness, and His grace. God is the ultimate gift giver and a perfect one at that! I'm referring to especially salvation! In James 1:17 KJV it says, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.  In 1 John 2:27 it says, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,... This anointing that abides in you is a special gift, the preparation! Then in Ephesians 2:8-9 it says, For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should bo...

Obedience Yields Results

We read in Hebrews 11:6 that, But without faith it is impossible to please Him. We must have faith to please God, and to even believe that He is God! The word tells us in Matthew 17:20 ...If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder places; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. If we are to believe that the word is true we should obey it! In John 21:6 the word says, And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. They had been fishing all night and yielded no fish in return, but after being obedient unto the word of Jesus they produced more fish than they were able to handle. The word of God gives us so many examples of individuals being obedient unto God and they yielded results! In Matthew 8:13 the words says, And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believe...
