You Will Have Peace No Matter What!

Only born again believers have this promise from God.

John 16:32-33 "…32 “Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”"

Acts 14:22

"22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “It is through many tribulations that we must enter the kingdom of God.”

Romans 8:37

"37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us."

2 Corinthians 2:14

"14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place."

2 Corinthians 4:7

"7 But we have this treasure in [a]earthen containers, so that the extraordinary greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;"

Hallelujah, in Christ, no matter what is happening around us or to us we are protected by Him. Even if we suffer for loving Him, He is with us. If we have joy He is with us.

Hebrews 13:5 "Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,”

Wise Verses Foolish

It is amusing when someone shares everything they wish to say and then accuses us of "shoving our views down their throat" when we share ours.

The one who accuses is the one who is pushing, they are pushing to be heard and care nothing about hearing others.

Proverbs 18:2

"2 A fool does not delight in understanding,

But in revealing his own mind."

We know we have encountered a foolish person when their opinion is the only one allowed. This is a person who cannot learn because they never listen.

Proverbs 12:15 "15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel. 16 A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult."

It is a very insecure person who becomes easily angered merely because someone does not agree with them.

Proverbs 16:2

"All a man's ways are pure in his own eyes, but his motives are weighed out by the LORD."

Proverbs 3:7

"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil."

Proverbs 14:16

"A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident."

When we are confident in the Lord we have no reason to be offended at an insult or disagreement. We know where our confidence comes from and it is not in ourselves but in Jesus Christ Who lives in us.

We must Pray, we must Seek the Word and then we will have Wisdom

1 Corinthians 2:13- 5 "…13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.…"

If we do not judge we will become simple-minded without discernment.

Those who use the mantra "don't judge" do not know the Word of God. Clearly, we are to make judgments about the activities of the in the body of Christ, as well as lifestyles.

1 Corinthians 3:1

"Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly--as infants in Christ."

In this passage, Paul is telling the people they are spiritual infants because of his observations about their responses to life and their propensity to view things superficially.

Paul is telling the people in 1 Corinthians 3 that the focus of the people has become worldly rather than Christ-oriented. He is emphasizing their fleshly propensity to elevate men above Christ, to look to men for their direction instead of Christ.

We have godly teachers in the church but every one of them should be evaluated according to the Bible and not their worldly credentials. They must be tested with a challenge when they error, what comes out of them will tell you if they are full of arrogance or humble enough to receive a correction.

When we do challenge someone we ought to be using scripture, not our own opinions or desires, only Scripture.

Between two godly Christians, leaders or not we ought to be able to calmly and with love share our findings and pray until there is agreement.

Amos 3:3 - "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

Acts 2:1-47 - "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place."

1 Corinthians 1:10-11

"10 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers and sisters, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you."

If there are disagreements we ought to be able to pray and study until there is agreement.

The sad thing in our culture is that most church attendees depend on the seminary-educated graduate to tell them what to believe instead of the Holy Spirit Who lives in them.

Many people will not believe anyone who is not considered educated by human institutions, their trust is in those degrees and titles rather than in Christ.

When we trust the Holy Spirit we will listen to teachers with discernment and Scripture. Our education comes from the Holy Spirit and the simpelist minded person can understand anything when it is the Holy Spirit Who speaks to them.

Psalm 119:129-130 "…129 Wonderful are Your testimonies; therefore I obey them. 130 The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple. 131 I open my mouth and pant, longing for Your commandments.…"

The more we seek Christ, read His Word and pray for understanding the more we will know the truth. Many people who attend the colleges made by man are following man not Christ. They are teaching what man tells them to believe and not what Christ tells us.

Psalm 19:7

"The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple."

Psalm 49:3

"My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding."

Psalm 119:98

"Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are always with me."

Psalm 119:104

"I gain understanding from Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way."

Proverbs 6:23

"For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life"

Seek Christ through prayer and His Word first, then there will be understanding.
