Are You Searching for Peace? Come Let Me Show You Where to Find It

Text:

John 16:33 (NKJV)

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Observation:

My friends, the answer to the question in the title is found in the Bible in John 16:33. Read the text listed above for your convenience. Did you see it?

The answer is Jesus. He said, “In Me, you may have peace.” Do you have Jesus alive in your heart?

John 1:12 (NKJV)

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Are you a child of God? If you are, you have the peace of God within you. Notice what the Bible says about the peace of God.

John 14:1 (NKJV)

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

John 14:27 (NKJV)

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Application:

Make two columns. One the World, and the other Jesus on a sheet of paper.

The World Jesus

Sickness Jesus

Sorrow Jesus

Sin Jesus

Temptation Jesus

Testing Jesus

Trial Jesus

Isolation Jesus

Your problem Jesus

The world gives us troubles, but God gives His children peace, and the world cannot take it away. The peace that God gives you will stay with you. Your responsibility is to live in the presence of God who gave you the gift of peace. God gave you this peace when Jesus came into your heart.

Prayer:

Father God, hallowed be Your name. Father, I pray that your children will never forget the source of peace and that they will live in Your presence and enjoy the peace of God all of the days of their life.

Father, I pray that Your children will decide today that the devil is a liar, and He cannot steal our peace. Our Savior and Lord have us securely in His arms, and our peace is safe and secure in Jesus. Let all of God’s children say, Amen.

Who Is Your Source?

Text:

Isaiah 40:29 (HCSB)

29  He gives strength to the weary and strengthens the powerless.

Observation:

I have a saying in my head that I heard many years ago; this is how I remember it, “I can’t but God can. He never said you could, but He always said He would”.

Are you facing some giants in your life that are masquerading as mission impossible?  If you know the Lord, and belong to Him, He gives strength to the weary, and strengthens the powerless. What you cannot do in your own strength, God will provide you with His strength.

Philippians 4:13 (HCSB)

13  I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.

O how we need to learn the lesson of dependence upon the Lord for all of our needs. Notice what the Apostle Paul said before the above verse.

Philippians 4:11-12 (HCSB)

11  I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

12  I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret {of being content}—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.

Who is your source? Is the Lord your shepherd?

Psalm 23:1 (HCSB)

1 The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.

When the Lord is your shepherd, then you are able to be content in whatever circumstances you face in life. Do you believe that God can and will?

Philippians 4:19 (HCSB)

19  And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Prayer:

Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, we delight to look to You as our source for everything we need to fulfill the purpose for which You made us.

Father, we believe in Jesus, and we look to You to meet all of our needs. Father, we believe that You can, and You will. Father, I identify myself with those who know by experience because You have done it for me. Lord, we give You thanks from hearts that are grateful for all our blessings.

Philippians 4:20 (HCSB)

20  Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) 
11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
