The Supernatural Stream Of Peace Series
Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: God is the Source of our Peace. God alone brings peace. Jesus Christ is the One who gives peace. Jesus said, “I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart.” The Supernatural peace of Jesus is His gift to us.
In Acts 10:36, Peter says, “This is the message of Good News for the people—that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.”
2 Thessalonians 3:16 says, “may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation.”
Jesus Christ gives us His own personal peace.
It should give us the same serenity in danger, the same calm in trouble, and the same freedom from anxiety.
The Holy Spirit is the Giver of this peace, and He gives it as a gift. Galatians 5:22 says one aspect of the fruit of the Spirit is peace.
The Holy Spirit’s ministry is to take the things of Christ and give them us.
Lets close by returning to John 14:27:
I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
(John 14:27)
Jesus says, “the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. ”
His peace is not like the peace of the world
Jesus Christ has given us real peace.
It is here, it is ours; but we must take hold of it.
The peace He gives has to be received and applied in our lives.
When we claim the promise of the peace of Christ,
we will have calm, untroubled hearts, regardless of the circumstances.
Friend, is your heart troubled this morning?
Is it troubled because you have ignored His promise of peace to you?
Is there worry, or anxiety, or turmoil because your focus is on your current circumstances.
Is your heart troubled because of something in something your past.
Do you lack peace because you are worrying about what might happen?
Our past, present and future are under the care of God. He promises to supply our future need, and He has forgiven the past.
Jesus said in Mathew 6:34 don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Don’t worry about tomorrow or yesterday. Concentrate on trusting God for today’s needs.
Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.”
Do you have a problem, or a decision to make?
Let the peace of Christ make that decision for you.
Today and everyday, let the supernatural spring of peace rule in your heart. AMEN
