“The power of the peace of God”

Today I shall hear the word of God; it is pregnant with the power to transform my life; my faith is increased so that I can move mountains; faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God…

It blows me away when I began to ponder in my mind some of the many promises that God has bestowed on the believer through our relationship with Christ; the benefits of some those promises almost sound to good to be true, today discussing the peace of God is one of those promises that is so awesome its extremely hard to wrap our heads around the advantage we have in any situation if we fully understand & embrace the peace of God!!!

I have God’s peace; and will not except anything less!!!

John 14:27 (Amplified Bible) Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

Peace: immunity from the rage and havoc of conflict; security, safety, prosperity, felicity, (because the peace of God makes and keep me safe and prosperous) It’s the believers calm state of the spirit; assured of perpetual deliverance through Christ, while fearing nothing from any man or thing; being content with our earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is...

This day remember:

7And J)">(J)the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will K)">(K)guard your hearts and your L)">(L)minds in M)">(M)Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brethren, N)">(N)whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

9The things you have learned and received and heard and seen O)">(O)in me, practice these things, and P)">(P)the God of peace will be with you.
