THE POWER OF PEACE

 “The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet.”

 

Romans 16:20 

The peace that God gives is more powerful than the noise of the adversary. When Jesus in the boat spoke to the storm, the howling winds and waves obeyed His voice. (Matthew 8:26) What is your storm today? When you put your problems into God’s hands, He will put His peace in your heart and that is the real victory because if you truly believe, your heart will be at rest.

 

The battleground is your heart and that is why the enemy does not come against you with natural weapons but with fear, doubt, worry and unbelief in your heart.

 

 

Remember we are not fighting a natural battle but spiritual entities that cause pressure and tension in our heart and mind. (Ephesians 6:12) We have no sufficient strength of our own. Our natural courage is as perfect cowardice and our natural strength as perfect weakness but all our sufficiency is of God. In His strength, we must go forth and go on. So, when you learn not to fight your own battle but to leave the battle to God, that is when His peace will crush satan under your feet. 

ONE WAY

“It took God one night to deliver the Israelites physically from 400 years of captivity but it took 40 years to deliver their hearts from captivity. For some, they never let go. You may have stopped your bad habits on the outside but is your heart still yearning for them? If you have decided to follow Jesus and you mean it, don’t look back! Look to God alone. You cannot discover new oceans if you do not lose sight of the shore.”

GOD’S RESOURCES

“There is nothing God created that He cannot command, control or instruct, and can turn people’s hearts to favour you. Solomon was made wealthy by God as God brought people from all over to bless him. God can use anything to speak to you, to preserve you and protect you for His purpose. So, never doubt that God can move mountains to bring to pass His purpose in your life. He is able to do more than you could ask or imagine because He is a living God and His resources are infinite.”

STRANGERS

“As a child of your Heavenly Father, there is a promise for you in Isaiah 43:1 that you have been redeemed by God, that He called you by name and you are His. What does it mean to belong to God? Once Christ purchases us with His Blood, we become aliens here on earth and there is a barrier between us and everything here in this world.”
