I love this

In a world in such turmoil.

In these times of such unrest.

When we are constantly being pursued by the enemy

and our faith tested at every turn.

As the line drawn in the sand can no longer be seen,

as it has been swallowed up by the chasm of difference between,

good and evil, darkness and light.

I love ever more so, these words of God,

which bring me such delight.

 “Desist, and learn that I am God,

supreme over the nations,

supreme over the earth.”

Psalm 46:10

Do you need some PEACE?

In light of the turmoil in the world right now. All the calls and e-mails I get from friends asking for prayer for themselves and loved ones who "just can't take it anymore".

 I thought I would share this bit O' wisdom.

I truly believe it is on Papa God's heart and right now ever more so - many need to hear it!

The Lord CARES about YOU!

No matter WHERE you ARE NOW....WHERE you HAVE BEEN.

If YOU KNOW HIM and are feeling desperate or lacking...CAST YOUR CARE UPON HIM FOR HE CARES FOR YOU!

If you KNEW HIM and have WANDERED AWAY....IT'S TIME....COME HOME.

There is NO CONDEMNATION in HIM....HE LOVES YOU....with HIS LIFE!!!

HE gave it up for you as a sacrifice once for all....and His mercy is new every day.

NOTHING is TOO BIG to be COVERED and CLEANSED by the Blood OF Yeshua/Jesus!

It is Time to Have Some PEACE!

The kind of peace that ONLY God can give!

The kind of Peace God gives....the World can not TAKE away.


"Human beings often live unhappy lives as we flee from pain and pursue pleasure, trying to find comfort in the material world."

Peace with God


How great is peace!


Now I know that peace is the climax of all things in this world; but how do I know that it is to be so in the World to Come?


It is said, [in Isaiah 66:12], "Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river." The Rabbis said, "Great is peace, seeing that when the King Messiah comes, he will publish peace, as it is said [in Isaiah 52:7], "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace." (Leviticus Rabbah 9:9)


Commentary


Now this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the LORD. (Leviticus 7:11)


Peace offerings are the sacrifices that are shared by the worshiper and the priesthood. In Leviticus 7, the Torah reiterates the laws of the peace offerings, adding details about which parts of the animal are to be retained by the priesthood, who is fit to eat a peace offering, how quickly the meat has to be eaten and what to do if not all the meat is eaten by the deadline. A peace offering could be eaten by anyone, anywhere, so long as that person was in a state of ritual purity when he or she ate it.


The Torah lists several different types of peace offerings, including votive offerings brought in fulfillment of vows, freewill offerings and the thanksgiving offering. The Passover Lamb was also a type of peace offering.


Peace offerings, however, were never brought for sin. They do not atone or expiate. Instead, the peace offerings represent relationship, fellowship and peace between God and man. Eating of the peace offering was like eating from God's own table. When a person is not at peace with God, he has no peace. God is the absolute subject of reality, so to be at war with God is to be at war with reality.


Human beings often live unhappy lives as we flee from pain and pursue pleasure, trying to find comfort in the material world.


A person does not realize that the reason for his constant angst is that he does not have peace with God.


When a man does not have peace with God, he cannot have peace with himself or with others.


He rages at those who tread on his dignity or offend his pride, and he justifies his own actions at the expense of relationships with his friends and family. He uses other people to try to prop up his fragile ego. He attempts to slake his thirsty soul with vices and to satisfy his fleshly appetites with indulgences, but all of it is useless.
Unless we have peace with God, there is no peace.


"'There is no peace for the wicked,' says the LORD" (Isaiah 48:22).




The good news is that there can be peace with God.


The Apostle Paul says, "While we were [still God's] enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son" (Romans 5:10).


God wants peace with human beings more than human beings want peace with one another. That is why He gave His Son as a sacrifice—a peace offering between God and man.


Shalom

*I need to add a disclosure here.

All is well, only if you have the Shalom Peace of God.

HOW to get it........

This only comes if you have the  Holy Spirit of God abiding within you. There is only ONE way to have the Holy Spirit abide within you. 

The abiding, or constant presence of the Holy Spirit of God, is a gift. It is given from Yeshua/Jesus. A gift to His followers. to those He knows and those who know  Him. Those who choose to know Him.

So if you are needing peace in these troubling days. A peace that is beyond any human understanding. A peace that the world can not give or take away. There is a simple fix. 

Come to the master, Yeshua/Jesus.

"Cast your care on Him for He cares for you." (1Peter 5:7) 

Ask Him to come into your life, give Him permission (it is a willful act) then you will be His.

(Romans 10:9) "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

It is God's desire to be with (us) His creations. Not to banish us from Him. (misconception  spread by Satan the father of deception and lies since the beginning of sin) 

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

The Word of God /Bible is FULL of promises for the child of God, the follower of Yeshua/Jesus. Promises and words of encouragement, strength and wisdom. However - You must to be  one of His own first. If not, the words will be nonsense to you because the enemy has blinded the eyes of all who have not chosen to come to life through God's plan of Salvation Yeshua. 

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (1 Corinthians 1:18)

"The man without the Spirit 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." (1 Corinthians 2:14)

So let me end this post with a personal note. I have lived through much turmoil.I have experienced much pain. Physical, emotional, relational and spiritual.  I have come to points in my own life where I have  despaired even of living.  Albeit, many years ago, (35 to be exact)  I did get to a point of trying to end my life. That is when Yeshua/Jesus stepped in.

(He has since then many other times as well.  "The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;" (Psalm 34:19)

Through bad marriages, family and friend betrayals; serious health issues and financial despair. Death of loved ones and the worst yet I find, the living loss of a child. I still find that through it all I can say and I DO SAY -

It Is Well With My Soul

"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:18 

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." 

Yeshua
