PEACE

Question? Where is the PEACE that My Son gave you before He hung on the tree?

John 14:  27 (NKJV) Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

When will you find that Peace? When will you believe My Son died so you could be free in every area of your life?

Isaiah 26:  3 (ESV) You keep him in perfect Peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you.

How can our mind be stayed upon him? ONLY BY LOVE!

First, My people and the world do not walk in PERFECTED LOVE. I have been calling My People to perfect their Love Walk, but they seem unable to complete this task. Why? Because the enemy is underfoot to stop Love at all cost. He understands full well what will happen if My people and the people of the world grasp hold of perfected Love. His foundation will crumble, and his reign on this earth will be finished once and for all.

1 John 4:  18 (ESV) There is no fear in Love, but PERFECT LOVE casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in Love.

When you find perfected Love, you will find the Peace that passeth all understanding. You will be the victorious one. You will be the one that rules and reigns, and the enemy will have no place in you. THEN the harvest will be brought in, and the soon return of My Son will be at hand.

The world does not know true Peace. It is troubled on all sides and has no hope for a future. The enemy has taken them down many side roads, and every road ended in total confusion.

I have called you to be about the Father’s business. The business at hand is to complete the perfecting of your Love walk, so the Peace that passeth all understanding will take hold of not only you individually but the world will walk in that perfected Peace, even amid the boisterous storms that rage.

To be “perfected in love” means to have God’s Love fulfill its purpose in us. The Bible says that Love is perfected in us when we love one another. The word “perfected” means “to be completed” or “to reach the fullness of expression.” Sanctifying grace is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit that changes us so that our lives are increasingly conformed to the mind of Christ. John Wesley called this lifelong process sanctification or becoming “perfected in love.”
