BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I
AM GOD
Missionary-Evangelist
Dear Friends in
There is much turmoil in the world today. And
the day is coming when men shall seek for peace, but will not find it. Yet, in
I want to share with you eight of the areas of
life where we can find God’s peace in various situations that we face.
Peace In Our Busy Schedules:
In today’s busy world, it is a wonder that we
get as much done as we do!
A cartoon illustrates a mother with a huge
pile of dishes by the sink and with her hands in the dish pan. And, this is
what she says: “I’ll start Christmas dinner just as soon as I finish the
Thanksgiving dishes!”
.
And, we think that we
are behind!
God wants us to have His peace, regardless of
what our schedule may be. He can help us to cut corners and those of us who are
leaders can delegate authority so that everything does not fall just upon us.
Even
God has a peace for us that the world cannot
give; neither can it take it away.
John 14:27 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.
Peace In Persecutions:
There is much persecution in some countries of
the world today in order for the Christians there to move forward in God and
get the gospel out to the people.
One such believer,
Miraculously, Yun
was released after spending just seven months and seven days of the seven-year
sentence. Yun became known in
Peace Even in Death:
John was exiled to the lonely isle of Patmos; Stephen was stoned to death by an angry crowd;
Matthew was stabbed to death in Persia by a mob; Mark died as horses pulled his
legs apart; Dr. Luke was cruelly hanged; Peter, Philip and Simon were crucified
on a cross - Peter insisting that he die up-side-down, as he said he was not
worthy to die as his Lord had done.
The last verse to the Martyr’s song said this:
I
am willing to take up the cross and go forward to follow the apostles down the
road of sacrifice that tens of thousands of precious souls can be saved I am willing to leave all and be a martyr for the Lord.
When they had finished singing, the whole
meeting place was shaken by the Holy Spirit, they
earnestly interceded for their nation, and rededicated themselves to fight for
the Lord.
Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they
were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they
spake the word of God with boldness.
Peace By Following God’s Order:
All we have to do is to look around us to see
that God is a God of order. Creation shows forth His handiwork. His Word is our
blueprint to know what His order is so that we can follow it. Sin has perverted
God’s order in the lives of people; and thus, divorce, homosexuality, children
from broken homes, and other problems exist. But, if families would turn to the
Word
of God, and follow God’s order, there would be unity and peace.
Peace By Claiming God’s Word:
The promises of God are “yea and amen”!
Peace By Having a Godly Mentality:
We are not to have a “Victim” mentality, but a
“
1 Cor.
Peace in Leaving Results With God:
1 Cor. 3:6-7 I have planted, Apollos watered;
but God gave the increase. [7] So then neither is he that planteth
any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
We are only to be obedient to what God has
told us to do and then leave the results with Him. This will produce peace in
our lives as it is God’s responsibility to fulfill His Word - and He will do
it!
Peace in a World That is Falling
Apart:
As I mentioned previously,
But, God wants us to have peace, even in this
evil, fearsome day.
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,
and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth
nigh.
We recently showed a film in our meetings by Jesse DuPlantus, who
had an experience in Heaven. It was a very anointed
film, ninety minutes long, but
And, on that note, I will pray that each one
of us finds God’s peace in every situation of life and that we will be encouraged
with the fact that
(Heb.
When
Galatians 5:22 But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, PEACE, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, temperance.
God is saying to us as His beloved bride: I have
an anointing of peace for you, no matter what you are facing in your life.
Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I
am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
God is speaking to your situation today and
saying, “Peace Be Still”! He is saying to “be still and know that (He) is God”. He loves us too much
to let us fight our own battles but He goes ahead to fight for us! For the battle is the Lord’s and he
says to “stand still and see the salvation of the Lord”!
He says, “MY PEACE GIVE I UNTO
YOU“…” “let
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.
There is someone reading this today whose life
(particularly in your family) has
been in turmoil for some time and you are growing discouraged with the waiting
for God’s answers to come. He is saying that He is doing a quick work in all
the earth in this day and that your answer is on the way! Don’t give up for it will soon come!
May God’s peace and blessing rest upon each
one of you special people!
In His Service,
..
