15th of March, 2009 – Peace (2)

Many a times, if we are rest assured that God is fine with us, then we are settled, we are at peace. If we have the confident assurance that God is backing us up, has got our back, and is handling our case, then we are at peace. The devil wants to keep us from being at peace, by making us feel bad about things, having some self-imposed guilt, and being apart from our Father God. God on the other hand wants us to come unto Him if we are weary and heavy laden and He will give us rest (). One verse I especially like is from Psalm 62v8 which says – “Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us.”

Have you ever poured out your heart before someone? You told them how you really felt. What was going through your mind, how you said this, and you felt bad, and someone else said that, and you thought how could you, and you come out of that conversation feeling as if, wow, it was good to tell you how I really felt. It was good to tell you what was on my mind, on my heart. That is how God wants us to be with Him, and that is what the devil wants to prevent from happening. The Bible says in Philippians 4v6-7 that:

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4v6-7 (Amplified Version).

Hallelujah. Are you troubled, anxious, fretting, disturbed, unsettled, feeling intimidated, or agitated about something. Don’t be. Take it to God in prayer. Tell Him about it. Pour out your heart to Him. Make definite requests. Let Him know your wants, and don’t ever forget to thank Him. And then His peace will come and shall GARRISON and MOUNT GUARD over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

Father Lord,
We just want to thank You for being such an awesome God. Father we thank You so much for giving us bold access to the throne of grace. We thank You for this wonderful provision of perpetual, uninterrupted peace, as we continue to make our wants known to You, and come to You in prayer. We truly are grateful and just want to say that indeed, there is no God like You. Thank You Father, Son and Holy Spirit of God, in Jesus mighty name we pray with thanksgiving, amen.
