DON’T LOSE YOUR PEACE!
DON’T LOSE YOUR PEACE! “The fruit of Righteousness is sown in PEACE.” James 3 v 18. Satan knows that God’s Word can only be received by a heart and mind that are at PEACE, so he will do everything he can to get you upset. He loves it when you get into an argument just before church and you spend the entire service feeling bad. That’s why you must do whatever it takes to keep your peace!
There is POWER in PEACE! If the devil cannot get you upset, he has no power over you. He only ‘gains’ control when you ‘lose’ control! He wants to keep you upset in order to steal your peace and confuse you, and get you running round in circles. Don’t let him do it. Next time you get worked up about some issue - stop and ask yourself, “What is the enemy trying to do here? If I give in to these emotions, how will this end up?”
When you’re stressed, you lose your peace, you lose your joy, you lose your strength. So, it’s essential that you exercise self-control which is a FRUIT of the Spirit! James said, “The FRUIT of Righteousness is SOWN in PEACE!” Jesus is our PEACE and helps us to overcome in every crisis and troubling situation! Jesus said “My PEACE I leave with you, let not your hearts be troubled!" DON’T LOSE YOUR PEACE!
