A WELL OF TRUTH
PEACE OF GOD – PART THREE
Greeting to the wonderful friends and partners of Eastern Gate Ministries International Inc. and welcome back to A Well of Truth. As you may know this is a new title for a new series. It is the express desire of this Ministry to bring you the Truth and nothing but the Truth uncorrupted by the traditions of men or the doctrines of demons. When you pray for us, this Ministry pray that what we teach is pure and from the mouth of God. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible to bring the good news to more people.
Today I am going to again teach on peace, our peace, His peace. Peace is a powerful spiritual force within us for the Kingdom of God. Remember that spiritual forces are far superior to physical. It is a fruit of our spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
In order for the production of the fruit of peace there must be a tree of peace. This fruit of peace is of benefit to us and to others. Let’s take a moment and review the attributes of Bible peace which is much more than a calm feeling. Peace is not an emotion at all. Peace is a tool or weapon we weld for the benefit of ourselves, others, and the Kingdom of God. Peace in us is produced and strengthened through knowledge of God and our Lord Jesus.
2 Peter 1:2 (KJV)
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
This knowledge is not just information or a knowing. It is an exact, clear, engaging, life changing knowing, Anointed logos (Word) that we receive with an open heart, believe, doubt not, and act upon. For any weapon or tool to be effective we must know what it is and its best use. There are six powerful components to spiritual peace. These are not necessarily in order of importance. The most important component is the one needed at the time.
First, peace is a joining with God which is to be aligned in direction and purpose. Many of us miss it right there, we are off doing our own thing most of the time and wonder why prayers are not answered and why the Power of God isn’t flowing in our lives. Second, we must know that we are joint-heirs with Christ, participants in common of all spiritual and physical assets. Think on that a moment. We can call upon this wealth in faith, motivated by love, free of doubt, led of the Holy Spirit with the same result as Jesus. Third, salvation has given us wholeness, spirit, soul, and body. The full redemption of our body awaits the Resurrection but is as certain as anything gets. With this wholeness (mainly the quacking of our dead spirit man) we can operate as gods in the earth. Before you go into full breakdown mode notice the small “g” and read Psalm 82 and the Words of Jesus in John 10:34. That’s Gods idea not mine. Fourth, is a capacity for tranquility or quietness in the face of ANY circumstance. Fifth, we have access to all of the rest, the provision of God, spiritual and physical. God sent manna for the children of Israel, Jesus fed 5000 plus, we can do the same. This is very similar to number two, access to the prosperity of God. We are spiritually and spiritually rich beyond measure but a vast majority of Christians taste none of it. Sixth, we are one with God and in this place all things are possible. We have to not just have this as information but as revelation knowledge which is exact, clear, engaging, life changing knowing, Anointed logos (Word) that we receive with an open heart, believe, doubt not, and act upon. Can anything evil touch God? Of course not! Neither can any evil touch us but we must be acting in perfect peace.
Peace is also one of the three pillars of the Kingdom of God.
Romans 14:17 (KJV)
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Notice that of the three pillars of the Kingdom of God two are fruits of the spirit. Could it be that righteousness encompasses the other seven (spiritual perfection – maturity)? As I finish for today let’s again visit a familiar Scripture in the Book of Philippians.
Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
As you meditate on this be aware that verse six is our part and verse seven activates His part. The Lord has a lot more He is teaching me about this to pass to you.
Until next time we love you and there is nothing you can do about it.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Until our next publication, as your Bible Teacher and a Prophetic Voice in your life I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
