Word of the Day
Beloved, knowing with complete assurance that your salvation through Me will not fail and being content with where you are in this life makes way for peace. Knowing Me destroys fear and all its ugly threats and intimidations. Thanksgiving testifies of My goodness and makes way for peace.
Being thankful puts you in a position to rest and be at great peace. The prosperity of peace, oneness, quiet and rest of who I am will flow from Me to you. My peace transcends fear and sets you at a place of oneness which rejects all anxiousness and confusion. Peace of this magnitude eliminates double-mindedness because it passes all understanding. It is superior, more excellent and holds itself above all other possible solutions—above all human thought, feeling or will.
Peace mounts guard like a sentinel posting spies at the gate of your heart. Peace hems you in and protects your heart and if you embrace it nothing will offend you. Like a mighty garrison, peace encircles you with a great occupying force. It cannot and will not be denied. I will not be denied.
Therefore Beloved, I come with My peace to protect your heart, your mind, and yes, even to the very thoughts and intents sequestered within. My peace hems you in to protect you from all the pressures of everyday life and its disturbances.
My peace has the power to seize the anxious thoughts of the enemy he so strategically places in front of you in very subtle ways. Peace stands as your sentinel to watch and warn you in advance. Build up your walls and gates with praise.
All this is done through My blood, through Me, your Lord and Christ. It is time to offer up your prayers with a heart of thanksgiving and praise. You will be amazed at the results and if you see peace dissipating consider it a warning you should not ignore.
And God’s peace [shall be yours, that]tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall ]garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:7 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, Your blood will never fail. It is as fresh as the day You gave it. My life is submerged in the gift of life You gave and will bear all You have ordained for it to birth. My heart is changed each time I behold You and my tendency to be fearful and anxious fades away in the light of Your beauty. I praise and thank you for the gift of life You have given me. I cherish it and use my words to proclaim its greatness to all who will hear including those not of this earth.
Like a mighty garrison, peace surrounds me, encircles me in its protective sphere. I embrace peace and thankfulness. I love Your law and am not offended by the deeds of men. Peace warns me and sends little flags up along the way when things aren’t right. I listen and wait patiently on You during these times. I rest in the complete work of the Cross. My heart is a heart of joyful thanksgiving and praise. I settle myself down in the protective arms of peace and I shall not be afraid. Amen
