A Peace You Can Feel

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  Peace, I bring to you.  Not just a peaceful moment, but deep peace that spreads throughout your soul.  I bring you peace for this is My state of being, for I have everything in control.  Left to your own, your lives spiral into chaos and peace eludes you, but this is not to be for a child of Mine.  For when you are aware of My presence, then the chaos is subsided.  Your circumstances may not have changed, but your attitude in Me will bring you strength and with this strength comes peace.  My loves, I know many of you struggle with this, seeking peace but only having it in small doses here and there.  But I want to show you what true peace looks like, and in order to do this you must realize that the storm you are in is temporary, and that I have placed you in the eye of the storm and out of the destructive winds so that you can hear My still, small voice.  When you perceive My voice, with it comes a peace you can feel in the depths of your soul. 

 

John 14:15-31 (ESV) “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17  even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 18  “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19  Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20  In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21  Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22  Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23  Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24  Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. 25  “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28  You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29  And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30  I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31  but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here. 

What They Are Longing For

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  Each day you have a choice, to either follow Me or follow something else.  Those who don’t know Me will choose something else every time, until they come face to face with Me and a crisis in their soul is realized.  This is the greatest decision they will ever make, for this will determine their eternity.  If you have sought Me in this time, then you will forever be with Me and I with you.  If not, then I will grant your wish to be separate from Me forever.  This may sound harsh to you, but this is the reality and the heaviness of this decision.  To love Me is to know Me and to see My hand in all that you do, and great will be your rejoicing.  But My loves, there are more who take the other option simply because they have faith in their own selves instead of Me.  This is the greatest of all deceptions in the earth, and more fall for it than you can imagine.  So today, My children, you are to display My love to the worldly, for love is the only way, and this sets you apart from everything they know.  You, My loves know this, for you once walked and lock step with the world.  But when the day dawned in your heart, your eternal destination changed.  By showing My love to all people that I bring across your path may show them what they have been longing for. 

 

1 John 4:7-21 (ESV) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8  Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9  In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10  In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11  Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12  No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 13  By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14  And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16  So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17  By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18  There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19  We love because he first loved us. 20  If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21  And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. 

Hold Nothing Back

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  I love you.  I long to hear from you, and I Am always listening.  I gave you breath in your lungs when you woke this morning, and I have great plans for you – plans to prosper you, to help you, to direct your paths.  These are what I do at the minimum so that your peace and joy are full in all that you do this day.  You must remember that when you gave your life to Me, what is Mine is now yours too.  You are My friend, My child and My treasure and I hold nothing back from you.  I created the earth so that you will come to know My love and My joy, so when you are feeling low remember that I Am always lifting you high.  Yes, you will go through valleys at times, but these are for adjustments in your outlook and character, to purge you of your old self in order to house My Spirit in full.  When you are full of yourself or even have just a little of self still in your vessel, then you cannot have Me in full.  This is why you must give it all to Me and hold nothing back, for whatever you hold back is less than what I have for you.

 

Romans 5:1-11 (ESV)  Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.  2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3  Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4  and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5  and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. 6  For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7  For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8  but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9  Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10  For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11  More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
