True Peace is supernatural and rides above the chaos on the earth!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:
22 But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is Divine Love in all Its varied expressions:
joy that overflows,
peace that subdues,
patience that endures (longsuffering),
kindness in action (gentleness),
a life full of virtue,
faith that prevails,
gentleness of heart,
and strength of spirit (control of self).
Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.
.
25 If the Spirit is the source of our life, we must also allow the Spirit to direct every aspect of our lives.
The word peace (Gr. eirene) means: the cessation of war; conflict put away; a time of rebuilding and reconstruction after war has ceased; distractions removed; a time of prosperity; the rule of order in the place of chaos; it is a calm, inner stability that results in the ability to conduct oneself peacefully even in the midst of circumstances that would normally be traumatic or upsetting; it is the Greek equivalent for the Hebrew word Shalom, which expresses the idea of wholeness, completeness or tranquility in the soul that is unaffected by outward circumstances or pressures.
Peace comes from the inside and is not determined by the outside circumstances.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the Peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The Holy Spirit then explains what to do in pursuit of walking in peace:
8 Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and Holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every Glorious Work of God, praising HIM always.
9 Put into practice the example of all that you have heard from me or seen in my life and the God of peace will be with you in all things.
Paul had many trials and tribulations, yet he was able to walk in peace. There was chaos all around him, but he did not allow circumstances to rob his peace. We should endeavor to walk in the same manner.
Paul described the character of the new man when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:
12 You are always and dearly Loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been Divinely chosen to be Holy.
The mere fact that you are reading these Words would indicate that you have been chosen.
Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others.
13 Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them.
14 For Love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity.
Walking in Love will produce the other fruit of the SPIRIT and peace will prevail in your life.
15 Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the Anointed One, Who called you to peace as part of His One Body. And always be thankful.
16 Let the Word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all Wisdom. Apply the Scriptures as you teach and instruct one another with the Psalms, and with festive praises, and with prophetic songs given to you spontaneously by the Spirit, so sing to God with all your hearts!
17 Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. And bring your constant praise to God the Father because of what Christ has done for you!
We have entered a time of chaos in the world. There is instability in all areas of society. The “temporary” is going through a shaking. It is vital that we embrace the Supernatural peace from GOD in preparation of this time at hand.
Paul warned us in Hebrews chapter 12:
26 The earth was rocked at the sound of HIS Voice from the mountain, but now HE has promised, “Once and for all I will not only shake the systems of the world, but also the unseen powers in the heavenly realm!”
27 Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain.
28 Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable Kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights HIS Heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe.
29 For our God is a Holy, devouring Fire!
Pursue peace on a daily basis.
