Peace be still, children. Peace be still. Even though the winds of adversity are blowing around about, I will keep you in perfect peace as your minds are stayed on Me.
Isaiah 26:3Amplified Bible
“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].
The enemy is constantly raging. That is all he knows. But that should not affect you in any way, for the peace that passeth all understanding is stayed upon you at all times.
Phillipians 4:6-7 ESV
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
The phrase “peace that passes understanding” is often explained as a divine tranquility or calmness that transcends human logic. This is not merely an absence of stress or conflict; rather, it is a state of inward rest given supernaturally.
Your best defense against the enemy’s constant raging is JOY UNSPEAKABLE. The enemy cannot stand Joy. Joy places the enemy in derision.
1 Peter 1:8 New International Version
8 Though you have not seen him, {Jesus} you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
Children, all you should know is JOY and PEACE. This is Kingdom living, and an affront to the enemy.
TODAY IS THE DAY YOUR FATHER HAS MADE REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
1 Peter 1:8
New International Version
8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.
