Peace.
Peace, be still.
Many of My children’s souls
rage within them like a storm they cannot silence. But I can silence storms,
and I speak to the storm in you now – peace, be still.
Breathe the fresh air and
be calm, My child, for nothing can befall you today that will separate you from
Me, from My great love for you. Whatever comes into your life, always look for
My Hand in the midst of it, for you will find it there. You may not see it at
first, but I am there.
See Me around you – I am in
the sunshine, and in the breeze. I am in the animals. I am in the trees. I am in the
flowers. I can always be found by you when you seek Me.
Look about you, and be
calm.
Whatever is happening
around you, I am there.
Call upon My Name. Ask for
what you desire, what you need.
I am there.
Mark 4:39: And he arose, and rebuked the wind,
and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a
great calm.
Romans 8:37-39:
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
Isaiah 6:3: And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Matthew 7:7-8:
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he
that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, God. I needed this word so incredibly much, today. Been under constant attack for 6 months and felt myself wearing out from the struggle.
ReplyDeleteOne of my most favourite parables in the bible is where Jesus asks Peter to walk onto the water , to come to him , and he walked on water , until he took his eyes off of the Lord to notice the storm , there's a storm coming , a global one , gods love is always an open out stretched arm to anyone , the trick to not sinking is to stay afloat , we stay afloat by holding on to the outstretched arm of his never ending love , his never ending forgiveness , that arm is Never retracted to anybody , it's only unreachable , if you don't out stretch your own arm to meet him half way , his love is a constant outstretched arm to ALL HUMANITY ! He outstretched one hand out to Peter to save him , he outstretched two hands on the cross to save everybody ! God loves us all !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this word and the verses. This is exactly what God has been speaking over me... I find it so hard to listen and allow the peace to quiet me. The storm around me got inside..and I realized the storm already inside me is so much louder than the one on the outside.
ReplyDeleteGod has been telling me to follow peace, and to be confident. Although I'm so used to being discouraged. ..The concept of nothing separating us from God's love is in the song I've been listening to over and over for the past few months, "First Loved Me" by Covenant Worship.
For my confidence issue God told me to look up Mark 4:17 (KJV)"And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended." Basically God showed me the condition of my heart...telling me that the way to solve my confidence problem and work on getting my personality back is to allow the Word to be rooted in me. Then I won't be so afraid of people's opinions and making the wrong impression.
Anyways, my biggest need for prayer right now is I feel and see God leading me into new places...I've never been in a relationship before, I hardly have any work experience, and there is a long list of things in my life that God is trying to add. It is a bit daunting..like the Israelites I am used to living in lack and having no confidence. Coming out of Egypt with jewelry and miracles is actually harder for me to deal with then if it were a total struggle. I'm no longer living like my family..and I have to totally depend on God for growing up advice. This is also a testimony for my family because we have all been stuck and defeated so long…and everyone is watching to see how I get free. It really feels like stepping out of the boat and walking on water.I know I'm doing the right things, but every little thing is requiring so much faith, because God is asking me to make so many lifestyle changes...it's like I'm being asked to allow Him to completely change my life. It's a bit hard feeling so responsible. I just want to see God's hand today and as this journey continues. I am also learning to slow down and remembering that each day has its own trouble so I shouldn't worry about tomorrow. I just really need prayer for encouragement because I feel so overwhelmed with all the newness and seeds I’m being asked to plant…even though I do have peace about it.
@A Praying for you! This verse comes to mind..
ReplyDeleteYou, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.1 John 4.4
I also like Matt Redman's 'Facedown' 'Pure Light' and 'Never Once' Used to listen to before going to bed every night.
