God Gives Us His Peace

To listen to our Sunday Message "God Gives Us His Peace"
Foundation Text:
John 14:27 (AMP)

²⁷ 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. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

We have to walk by faith

In this world that we live in, it is very easy to get caught up in walking by the things that we see.  In other words, we are moved, motivated, believe in and make decisions by that which we can touch, feel, taste, see and smell.  If we live our life by our senses, we will never reach or fulfill the fullness of what our Heavenly Father has for us.  Because it requires faith and hope in this life to accomplish our dreams and aspirations.  When we walk by faith in the word of God, then we open up the power of God to intervene in our affairs of life.  We open up ourselves to the very supernatural help of our Heavenly Father to ensure our progress and fulfillment in this life.  In Hebrews 11:1 (ERV) it says,

"Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see."

God will always provide for us peace

If we are going through something challenging in our life, we can be assured that our Heavenly Father will provide for us.  One of the names for the Lord Jesus is Prince of Peace.  We also are known as children of peace.  Peace is the manifestation of God himself.  So when we are at peace, we are experiencing a manifestation of God.  If we need peace as residents of the Kingdom of God, all that we have to do is to ask for it to be released into our heart and soul.  It says in Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) "³ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You."

God wants us to prosper

Our Heavenly Father has gone to great length to ensure the prosperity of his children.  Our Heavenly Father sent his Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die, be buried, resurrect and to ascend back to Heaven so that the blessing of Abraham would come upon us.  The blessing of our Heavenly doesn't do anything but afford us blessing and prosperity in our lives.  However, in order to get into agreement with this plan of blessing, we have to be obedient to the voice of God.  It says in
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (NLT)"1“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. ² You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God:"

Do we do the good that we know to do?

In Hebrews 12:1 (ERV) it says, "We have all these great people around us as examples. Their lives tell us what faith means. So we, too, should run the race that is before us and never quit. We should remove from our lives anything that would slow us down and the sin that so often makes us fall."  We have negativity all around us every day.  Unfortunately, we live in a negative world.  We as God children want to be individuals that are positive and focus on the positive.  We want to focus our energies on things that build up and not tear down.  We want to put our energies into doing the good that we know God wants us to do.  If we will focus on doing the good that we know to do, then we will experience more of God's blessing in our life.  By focusing on and doing the good we know to do there won't be anything to stop the blessing of God at work in our life.
