Zealous Peace

There is nothing in this world that can replace peace of mind, spirit and the joy of the heart, that only comes from God. It doesn't matter what you are doing or trying to do. It takes a certain amount of serenity inside of you to bring out the best of what God has called you to do. Not only in reference to that. But all things in life you expect to get. It's one of the main ingredients in keeping your eyes on the prize. We have to be focused in order for God to show us. The direction or course he wants us to go in.
A great musician or artist is usually gifted with this. The ability to peacefully focus on their objective, in order to capture the audience or subject. We too, have to have similar discipline. We too, must have vision in our living. If we are to see the gifts that has been given to us.
Its not a matter of how small or great. But that we are being used for Gods glory, based on the way we are made. An awesome part of a never ending story. The foundation has already been laid.
But just like a mud slide we can't see the light if were buried inside and covered with dusk particles that came in the night. We need peace within to rise from that mess. To see our way, where there's no dirt left..
Than sometimes, we have to simply take our mind off self and focus on something else. Such as the drive inside that gives us a peaceful ride. That part of our being where Christ resides is the best place to start focusing our eyes. There we gain unspeakable joy and great peace inside.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3: 15-17

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1: 3-4

And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Romans 5: 11

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Timothy14: 4

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 7

Uneasy Spirits

An uneasy spirit can have a physical appearance of joy and contentment, but insides filled with uncleanness, resentment, lasciviousness, hatred or bitterness. All of which leads to spiritual wickedness provoking sinful acts. Causing destruction and separation from the one and only one who can get them out of it. And though there may be some justice when someone is captured. The victim remains the same and the criminal may remain unchanged. There seems to be a cycle of torment and violence. Like a revolving cycle. And so many are scared to silence. When what one really should do; is open up eyes and see the truth.
Because we're living in a time where murder, theft, drug abuse, child abuse and rape is all around us each and every day. And for many there is no escape. Jesus Christ is the one and only way. Demonic forces are running it's course. We can not pretend it's not for real. Because as we abide on this earth. These things are real. Within our communities, families, friends, co-workers and surrounding this world we live in.
We must all be watchful and recognize the disguise. And refuse to accept the person of lies.
No one can do it alone. We need Jesus Christ to save and lead us on. We need his wisdom and love. The joy we can get from no other. Because, through his sacrifice we don't have to be part of this life. We can abide in him where there is peace. Where the fruits of the spirit is all we need. Because within him we're cleansed from the elements of this world. We have real love and great expectancy for a brand new world. Free from disease and need. And by being born again we have no part in that wicked seed. A good hint of discontentment is when you have no peace. In this world there is turmoil. In Christ there is life. In Chaos there is wickedness. A spirit of peace is found only in what God has released from his Holy Spirit..

WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12: 1

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2nd Timothy 1: 6-7

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5: 3-5

Yoke effect of the world

Sometimes the things of this world, can make you feel as though you're locked in or out; and there's no open doors. Doesn't have to be anything going on in your life or personal world. Just a state of mind, or, not being in the place you prefer to be in. Either way, being fully involved can easily cause your soul to be lost.

With so much negative energy all around us. If you're not aware, it may cause your spirit to suffer from malnutrition and hunger. Leading to emptiness where you may feel there's no need for your presence any longer. But, hold on and be strong. There's some one who cares and will take you out of there. To a place of purpose and hope. So you don't experience the dread of the world anymore.

You can be sure there is a way of escape. Because in Christ there is a key to every single door. Therefore be mindful and know this. Where there is a problem. There is a cure. Within the kingdom of God. There is hope, truth, love that's pure, peace and spiritual satisfaction you can't find in this World.
We all require a source of positivity.

Because on screen, technological things, finance, family or friends; can sometimes be part of a negative source. Stirring up bad memories, resentments or contempt and bitterness. All of which, takes from the serenity the heavenly Father sent. Such negativity can be a form of distraction. Causing a bad reaction or absence from your purpose in Christ. So be mindful and concerned about your life. The output and input is vital for response and the energy will reflect the nature of its source.

STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5: 1

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, what soever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4: 8-9

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Ephesians 2: 1-2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12: 2

Effect Check

The word says be not consumed with the things of this world; but have your mind set on those things that are above. Of course that's easier said than done. When you see your own life filled with the problems of the world. But all it takes is a quick examination of whats really important or question of how does this truly relate? By observation of the answers. We come to the conclusion that the worlds perspective is just an illusion. There's no real substance and no real truth. Only temporary entities to confuse and distract you from the purpose God called you to do. Because in reality all things which are not of God shall past. And the flesh isn't made to last. Its a temporary state to hopefully take you to an everlasting place.
So when things seem hard or simply falling apart. Take a real good look at, what it's all about. Than go in to your own private closet and give it all to the Father. Allow him into your heart. And he'll separate your spirit and soul from a world soon to be destroyed. The physical may remain the same but the inner man will eventually change. Changed into something more. Once you give your life to God. You're set apart. Because you are born of the spirit. No longer governed by flesh and blood.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2: 15

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, what soever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with. Philippians 4: 8-9

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

BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 Peter 2: 1

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6: 6
