The Peace of Christ - PART I

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son; That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. - SAINT JOHN 14:27

Praise JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS GREETINGS,

     I pray you all are having a Blessed Day in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!  HE is TRULY Worthy of all the praise.  "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed".  His compassions they fail not, great is His faithfulness {LAMENTATIONS 3:22}.  These Truths, The HOLY THOUGHTS of our PRECIOUS LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST {ISAIAH 55:8}, are literally getting through a trying time as we speak.

     When we are Christians, we, although victorious in CHRIST JESUS have days that seem more difficult than others to make it through.  Dealing with anxiety, bi-polar disorder, and other mental torments in the past, I know exactly the importance of our maintaining a healthy or Christ-centered mental disposition.  

     Although I get weary of talking about him, let's face it, we have an adversary the devil who walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour {1 PETER 5:8}.  We are taught to withstand him in the faith {1 PETER 5:9}.  Other translations substitute "resist" for withstand.  I believe the greatest weapon of resistance is the WORD OF GOD.  I particularly had a bout before I wrote this, mentally, and was deciding if I should take a particular pill or let the thoughts pass.  I KNOW ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH IS OUR HEALER, and BY WAY OF HIS BELOVED SON JESUS CHRIST'S PRECIOUS DEATH AND RESURRECTION {SAINT JOHN 19 and 20}, we have ALREADY Received our Healing. First, I believe this is a HEALING FOR our former sin-sick souls, but BY HIS WOUNDS, we are also Healed {ISAIAH 53:5} from all other ailments. THE WORD OF GOD Also SAYS THAT HE Forgives ALL our iniquities, and HE Heals ALL our diseases.  However, sometimes taking a doctor's or a friends advice concerning a particular illness, is the right thing to do.  JESUS, Himself, Has made medicine, therefore let each of us be persuaded in his own mind {ROMANS 14:5}.

    

     Today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE declares that JESUS Has already given us an all-encompassing 'peace' of mind that can only be found in a relationship with HIM.  Because, HE LOVES us so, HE Wanted His Disciples to KNOW that they could count on HIM, SOLELY, for their peace.  Let's face it, there is no peace like knowing that ALL of our sins; past, present, and future are forgiven {COLOSSIANS 2:13}.  All we have to do is come to CHRIST asking for Mercy and Forgiveness, and HE WILL ALWAYS GIVE IT TO US, HIS BELOVED CHILDREN {1 JOHN 1:9}. 

     When we walk in HIS DIVINE LOVE, as HE Walked {1 JOHN 2:6}, and in HIS PEACE, we are able to conquer {ROMANS 8:37} anything our enemy, the devil, attempts to bring our way daily, as we understand that our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, HAS ALREADY DESTROYED ALL of the devil's works {1 JOHN 3:8}, and as I read in one devotional, the only power the devil has now is to lie.  WE WILL NOT BELIEVE any of his lies!  We are at peace, through the GRACE AND FAITH OF CHRIST JESUS, and we are HEALED BY Faith in HIS SHED BLOOD {ROMANS 3:25}, in HIS WOUNDS {ISAIAH 53:5}, and ULTIMATELY Because of HIS GREAT DEATH, AND EQUALLY GREAT RESURRECTION {SAINT MARK 15 AND 16}.  "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}"
