7 Steps To Increase The Peace Of God
0
Do you want to live a fulfilling life? The peace of God is a catalyst for a fulfilled life. The more of God’s peace you experience, the more your life is fulfilling. This article gives the steps to increase the peace of the Lord.
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord – 2 Peter 1:2 (KJV)
There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked – Isaiah 57:21 (AMP)
Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever] – Romans 8:6 (AMP)
The 7 steps
1. Be born again
Receiving Jesus as your lord and saviour is the first and foremost step to experience the peace of God in your life. Jesus is the carrier of God’s peace. Therefore, you can only have the peace of the Lord when you have Jesus.
2. Stand on your justified position
When you gave your life to Jesus, you were justified by faith. You were acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God through faith. As a member of God’s family it is your inheritance to enjoy the peace of the Lord. You need to stand in this exalted position in Christ and take possession of what belongs to you by faith.
3. Be spiritually minded
The spiritual mind is life and peace both now and forever. But the mind of the flesh goes along with it the miseries associated with sin, including lack of peace and ultimately death. Therefore, to live a fulfilling life you need to mind the things of God.
4. Increase your knowledge of God
You multiply this peace by learning more about God and Jesus, and what they are capable of doing. When you have the assurance that God will take care of you and all the issues surrounding you, you will experience more peace and joy within you. And you will live a fulfilling life knowing that God will help you every step of the way. (more…)
8 Benefits Of The Peace Of God
0Hi, Jesus loves you.
What can the peace of God do for you? Human beings always want to know what is in a thing for them; what will be their benefits or profits before they agree on or do anything. If I go for this peace you are talking about, will it solve all my problems? Which problems will it solve? This post lists seven benefits of this peace plus 1 more
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 – John 14:27 (KJV)
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus – Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
The Benefits of the God-kind of peace
1. Good health - Many people are sick, some are hospitalized because they lacked peace of mind. This peace will give you a rested soul and body. It will keep away worries, stress, depression, high blood pressure and heart related diseases. This reminds me of my mother who thought it was her duty to worry over things. Unfortunately, she developed high blood pressure and died earlier than she should. We really miss her.
2. Positive mindset – People who enjoy peace are positive minded. They expect the best of things. They think positively of people and situations. They don’t get worked up, thinking that things will certainly go wrong.
3. Hope – The peaceful are hopeful and the hopeful are peaceful. When you are hopeless, you will become helpless. The peace of God is a powerful ingredient in building up your hope. You will know that everything will work out for your good and you will expect it to be so.
4. Build and fortify relationships – A peacemaker will always enjoy his or her relationships with others. Peace within you will manifest in your responses to issues. People will be drawn to you because they enjoy the peace that surrounds you: no tension or disputes over things. Being with you will be like medicine to their challenges plus 1 more.
5. Better working environment – Have you ever worked with someone who fights with everybody and everything? Not a place to be in, right? Such a person does not have peace of mind and is only venting it out on things and people instead seeking for help. But a peaceful person can help the troubled person and change the working environment. Peace is contagious. (more…)
Fellowship with God-The Missing Link to Our Peace and Joy
1December 22, 2010
Hello, Jesus loves you
Are you having a challenge maintaining peace and joy within and around you? Have you been searching for peace? Maybe it is because you are looking for peace and joy in the wrong place! One sure place to secure peace and joy is in your fellowship with God. Everlasting peace can only be found with the prince of Peace (Jesus Christ)
Many people think that money can give them peace and joy. Some think that power will do so, while some think that getting married is the answer. Yet others think that success in their career or business will certainly make their lives peaceful and joyful. The list can go on and on. But many people have discovered that having all these still won’t give them what they deeply desire: peace that passes all understanding and Christian joy full of glory.
Luke 12:15 states this truth very well, “And he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things he possesseth” (KJV). What you possess may give you temporary peace or joy, but to enjoy ceaseless flow of these two you need to get to the source, which is God. And fellowship with God will deliver them into your life
Now, I know you are wondering how you are to fellowship with God. It is so simple that many people don’t pay attention to it. To fellowship with God is to spend time in His word and prayer. You may say you are too busy to do so, but the truth is that you can always make out time for anything, including bible study and prayer. Which one is better, to build a strong relationship with God when there is no crisis or to seek Him during crisis? I certainly will choose the first option. (more…)
Peace Of Mind-5 Secrets to Enjoy Inner Peace in Daily Life
5
Are you having a challenge with mental stress or anxiety and desire the presence of serenity, calm, quiet, comfort of mind? Problems are bombarding you from every side and your thoughts are making your heart so heavy, you wonder if you can ever find inner peace. There are many suggested ways to relieve this pain but in this article, I will give you the secrets to enjoy peace of mind in daily life, despite the storm of life, which have transformed my life.
How to achieve and enjoy peace
1. Believe in God’s love for you.
God loves everybody and desires to take away every pain in our lives. A father will never sit down and see his children suffering and do nothing when it is in his power to do something. There is nothing too hard for our God. Believe in God’s love that transforms lives and trust Him to take care of you. Jesus truly loves you; allow Him to give you that inner peace you really need.
2. Search for God’s words concerning those issues and stand by them
No matter what you are going through now, God has a word for it. Search the bible for what God says about that situation, believe God, hold onto the word and you will see that you will have peace of mind. God’s word is medicine, health to our body including our mind.
3. Pray and dwell in God’s presence
Making out time to dwell in God’s presence in prayer rubs of the peace of God on you. In His presence there are fullness of joy and pleasures for evermore. When you pray to God, you acknowledge His supremacy and your inability to help yourself; you hand over problems to Jesus and trust Him to handle them for you. You cannot dwell in God’s presence and pray in faith and come out still burdened.
4. Cast your burden on Jesus
It is one thing to pray to God and another to cast your burden on Him. Many people pray to God but carry their problems again immediately they rise from their knees. This shows that they do not believe that God can solve their problems. I encourage you to drop that load at the feet of Jesus. Let Him take care of it for you. He is an expert in solving problems and giving peace of mind.
5. Share your testimony and Jesus’ testimony
The more you share what Jesus has done for you, the more you build up your faith for another testimony; the more your fear of that challenge disappears and inner peace sets in. Also, telling people about Jesus and what He did for mankind will bring about salvation of souls and provoke God’s intervention on your behalf. As you get involved in God’s business, God will get involved in your business.
Challenges are bound to exit, those you have control of and those you do not control. People lack to enjoy inner peace during these challenges because they are looking for it in the wrong places. There are many suggestions on how to attain and enjoy peace of mind but they offer only temporary solution. Jesus, the prince of Peace, is the source of peace. Follow Jesus and the above steps and you will enjoy total peace daily no matter the storm of life. Always remember that the no matter the storm, Gods Love- A Must Have Weapon Against The Storm Of Life Delivers Peace Of Mind
