Good
Morning!
Have
you ever wondered why Jesus talked so much about Peace and Joy? In fact,
He made it very clear, right before He left, that He wanted us to be
"full" of His Peace and His Joy! (John 14:27 and John 15:11)
There
are so many scriptures (from cover to cover) in the Bible that let
us know it is God's will for us to walk in peace and joy.
Why? Well, there are many different reasons why, and I could
talk about them 'till Jesus comes back....but, for now, I want to focus
on these two very important reasons~~~~
JOY
is our "strength" and our "authority" over the hand
of the enemy!
PEACE
is our "assurance" and our "confirmation" that we
are in God's hands!
We
need to stop "complicating" and start "simplifying" so
that we can walk in these two powerful gifts that Jesus gave to us! Why?
So, that we can enjoy our lives, but more importantly, so that we can get
to a "place" where we are not thinking about ourselves and our
problems all the time. When we are walking in peace and joy, then we will have
the strength, authority and assurance to help others find that
"place"!
I
am not done yet....but will continue this next week~~~~~~~
