“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27” There are two kinds of peace: the worldly kind of peace and the Jesus Christ kind of peace. The worldly kind of peace does not solve the troubled heart of a child of God. This is so because the child of God has been born into a different family, that is, the family of heaven, and worldly peace cannot appease heaven. Another reason is that worldly peace is limited and outward but the heavenly peace/Jesus kind of peace is limitless and works from within before showing on the outside. It is the only solution to overcome fear, which fights us from the external forces of darkness. Dearly beloved, if you have Jesus Christ in your life you have this special kind of peace to overcome anxiety, fear, and a troubled heart. Hallelujah! It gives you the opportunity and privilege to soar higher in life, like the eagle. Dearly beloved, are you enjoying the peace of Christ Jesus? If not, tell us the kind of peace you are enjoying.

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16” The opening scripture above is dealing with corporate prayer, which can be applied to prayer in general. Failure to forgive hinders corporate prayer; no wonder Apostle James said we should be bold enough to tell one another where we or they are going wrong so that corporate prayer can be a time of feasting and refreshing because answers are received and miracles, signs, and wonders are pronounced. As a child of God, you should not keep offence inside you as it will pollute your spirit. Go to the offender quickly and show him/her his/her fault quickly and politely before it begins to harm you. The enemy would want you to keep offence inside you so that he can rely on it to destroy your conscience and spiritual growth in prayer. Don’t allow him; put him to shame and enjoy prayer any time you pray alone, and especially church/corporate prayer meetings. Praise the Lord!

Morning A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me. — Song of Solomon 1:13 Myrrh may well be chosen as the type of Jesus on account of its preciousness, its perfume, its pleasantness, its healing, preserving, disinfecting qualities, and its connection with sacrifice. But why is he compared to “a bundle of myrrh”? First, for plenty. He is not a drop of it, he is a casket full. He is not a sprig or flower of it, but a whole bundle. There is enough in Christ for all my necessities; let me not be slow to avail myself of him. Our well-beloved is compared to a “bundle” again, for variety: for there is in Christ not only the one thing needful, but in “him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;” everything needful is in him. Take Jesus in his different characters, and you will see a marvellous variety—Prophet, Priest, King, Husband, Friend, Shepherd. Consider him in his life, death, resurrection, ascension, second advent; view him in his virtue, gentleness, courage, self-denial, love, faithfulness, truth, righteousness—everywhere he is a bundle of preciousness. He is a “bundle of myrrh” for preservation—not loose myrrh to be dropped on the floor or trodden on, but myrrh tied up, myrrh to be stored in a casket. We must value him as our best treasure; we must prize his words and his ordinances; and we must keep our thoughts of him and knowledge of him as under lock and key, lest the devil should steal anything from us. Moreover, Jesus is a “bundle of myrrh” for speciality; the emblem suggests the idea of distinguishing, discriminating grace. From before the foundation of the world, he was set apart for his people; and he gives forth his perfume only to those who understand how to enter into communion with him, to have close dealings with him. Oh! blessed people whom the Lord hath admitted into his secrets, and for whom he sets himself apart. Oh! choice and happy who are thus made to say, “A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me.” Evening And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. — Leviticus 1:4 Our Lord’s being made “sin for us” is set forth here by the very significant transfer of sin to the bullock, which was made by the elders of the people. The laying of the hand was not a mere touch of contact, for in some other places of Scripture the original word has the meaning of leaning heavily, as in the expression, “thy wrath lieth hard upon me” (Psalm 88:7). Surely this is the very essence and nature of faith, which doth not only bring us into contact with the great Substitute, but teaches us to lean upon him with all the burden of our guilt. Jehovah made to meet upon the head of the Substitute all the offences of his covenant people, but each one of the chosen is brought personally to ratify this solemn covenant act, when by grace he is enabled by faith to lay his hand upon the head of the “Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world.” Believer, do you remember that rapturous day when you first realized pardon through Jesus the sin-bearer? Can you not make glad confession, and join with the writer in saying, “My soul recalls her day of deliverance with delight. Laden with guilt and full of fears, I saw my Saviour as my Substitute, and I laid my hand upon him; oh! how timidly at first, but courage grew and confidence was confirmed until I leaned my soul entirely upon him; and now it is my unceasing joy to know that my sins are no longer imputed to me, but laid on him, and like the debts of the wounded traveller, Jesus, like the good Samaritan, has said of all my future sinfulness, ‘Set that to my account.’” Blessed discovery! Eternal solace of a grateful heart! “My numerous sins transferr’d to him, Shall never more be found, Lost in his blood’s atoning stream, Where every crime is drown’d!” I Would like to share this with you.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without work is dead?

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the alter?

Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified, by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Justified-(Adjective) (Theology)-Means declared or made righteous in the sight of God.

Just- (Adjective) Means based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.

Equitable-(Adjective) Means fair and impartial.

Iniquity-(Noun)-Means immoral or grossly unfair; wickedness; sinfulness.

Justice-(Noun)-Biblical references to the word “Justice” mean “to make right”. Justice is, first and foremost, a relational term- people living in right relationship with God, one another, and the natural creation. … As God is just and loving, so we are called to do justice and live in love.

FAITH

Hebrews 11:1-States “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This passage concerning the function of faith in relation to the covenant of God is often used as a definition of faith. …This evidence for conviction is so positive or powerful that is described as faith.

When we think about faith, we want what we do not have, but when we pray, we must have faith to know that God hears us. God told Abraham to sacrifice his own son, and without hesitation, Abraham obeyed God to do what He had asked him to do. So when time came and they were where God showed him to go with Isaac, he went. He went through the necessary procedures to do what God asked, but the angel from heaven stopped him from killing his son, God provided a ram in the thicket for Abraham to sacrifice. God was testing Abraham’s faith to see would he give Him back his only son that was with him. Abraham did not know that God was going to provide something else for him to sacrifice in the place of Isaac.

When I think about how God sent HIs Only Son to this earth to die for our sins, I know it must have had to hurt His heart knowing that His Only Son was going to die for the sins of the whole world. Just as Abraham loved his only son, and when God told him to sacrifice Isaac, I know without a shadow of a doubt that his heart brake into a thousand pieces, and the hurt was great. Just as God had to turn from His own Son as He was hanging on the cross because of us, it had to hurt Him more than anything in the world. Jesus knew that He was going to rise on the third day, but had Abraham sacrificed Isaac, he was not going to rise again until the resurrection. God told Abraham that He was going to make him the father of many nations, He told Abraham to count the stars in the sky, and to count the grains of sand. Abraham trusted God, he had faith in God, he did not doubt God.

When God speaks to our spirit, and we know that He has spoken to us, what do we do? How do we feel? Do we doubt what we heard, do we believe what we heard? Do we thank God for speaking to us? Do we go and do what He has told us to do in faith, or do we doubt ourselves out of a blessing? We have faith that God will wake us up the next day, or when we have a nap. We have faith that God will give us what we want. We have faith that God will provide our every need. We have faith when we want Him to heal our loved ones. We have faith the seasons will change. We have faith that the sun will shine. The question is this, do we have faith and trust God whole heartedly through every circumstance in our lives and not just for certain things? Jesus showed us His faith, and He showed us the works of God, because He is God in the flesh. They could not believe in Jesus or the things that He did because of unbelief, and they did not have any faith. What is the point in having works and no faith? Think about this, when you are praying in your quiet time, do you believe in faith that God knows what you are going to ask Him for? Do you believe He will answer you? Do you have the faith of a grain of mustard seed? Having a little faith can move mountains. Use what faith you have when you go to God. He can strengthen your faith like never before, just ask in faith and believe. Don’t doubt God, and don’t your faith fade.

My Heart

My heart speaks of Your love that You gave to us from above. My heart sheds tears because of what You done for us, not with sadness, not for fear, because without You we would not be here.

My heart beats the melodies that You place there. My voice rings them out loud and clear. My heart cries out, and my soul joins in. It was darkness before this world began. What wonderful majesty You have with love so great. How when I can’t feel Your presence my heart aches. What could I do, where would I be, because without You thee would be no me.

My heart feels joy when I hear Your name. My heart in Your hands is where it will remain. Hold me tight, do not let me slip from Your grip. I am Your creation forever more.

My eyes watch day and night for Your return. My heart longs for You. This world is not my home I am just passing through. Keep watch over my soul for the rest of my days, because Jesus I want to be with You for always.

When my heart cannot sleep, I know You are right by my side…keeping the enemy away…keeping bad dreams away…holding my hand so I will not be afraid. Your love remains. Your mercy remains. Your forgiveness remains. Your grace remains. Forever You remain.

My heart is filled with fear when I cannot feel You near…I feel alone, on my own…in the dark without light…without the light of Your love. Your loving arms around me You put and wipe my tears away, that is how I know You are here to stay. To stay with me and never leave me alone. You will always be with me when I make my journey home.

Sometimes when life gets to be a bit much, I cannot feel God’s presence…it is very frightening to me. It makes me feel like I cannot live, my heart races. I cannot sleep sometimes when I feel like that. Those are the times when I know my faith is being tested. Those are the times when my faith is being made strong. When I am least expected, He places His hand on my shoulder to let me know that He was there the whole time. It is so refreshing to my heart and soul when that happens. My soul can rest within me and I can breathe again.

When I cannot sleep at night…when my mind just will not stop racing, I just ask Jesus to help me settle so I can rest, and before I know it I am fast asleep. I know I can always call on Jesus in everything I am going through, and you can to. He will always be there for us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He loves us. If you have not asked Jesus to come into your heart and be your Lord and Savior, you may want to make that decision, because tomorrow is not promised to any of us. It will be the best decision you will ever make in your life for all eternity. God bless, and stay safe.
