(04:53):
And we ask that you would justcover the hearts. Lord. We just
ask all these things that Jesus Mightyname you pray. Hey man, hey
man. We're going to be goingto the book of Romans fourteen and verse
seventeen. Romans fourteen and seventeen.We're talking to night about activating the peace
of God, and that's so vitalthat we activate the peace of God.

(05:15):
And we're gonna just break down whatthe peace of God is and how do
we keep that peace because a lotof times what's missing in our society,
in our lives as peace. Andit's a reason why we're missing peace sometimes
because people will ask cautions all thetime, how do I know I'm in
the world of God? How doI know what to choose, what decisions

(05:38):
to make? And that's where thepeace of God comes in. So we're
gonna be talking about all those thingsat night. But we're gonna open up
with Romans fourteen and verse seventeen.It says that for the Kingdom of God
is not eating and drinking. Inother words, the Kingdom of God is
just it's not natural, because alot of times we base dudes and dance

(05:59):
one. Don't eat this, don'tdrink this. But he said, the
Kingdom of God is not about foodand drink. It is not natural,
but but righteousness and peace and joyin the Holy Spirit. For he who
serves Christ in these things is acceptableto God and approved by Man. So
that the Christ told the disciples thisthat the Kingdom of God is within you.

(06:23):
So within us is God's righteousness,his peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit. That means these things arealready in us, righteousness, peace,
and joy, but they have tobe activated. And we're gonna be talking
about how to activate the peace ofGod because we've been given a unique thing,
and it's called the peace of God. Now we know we have peace

(06:45):
with God because of what was doneon Calvary. You know, we're justified
by faith and therefore we have peacewith God. So we have peace with
God. But this tonight we're gonnabe doing is the peace of God.
So we're gonna talk about the firstthing is number one, our inheritance of
peace. We're gonna go to Johnfourteen and twenty seven. A lot of

(07:05):
times when people talk about in theinheritance, we think about money and financial
things. But Christ left us somethingthat was so viral because we as he
walked on the earth, the onegreat fact that he had was peace through
every storm and light. He hadpeace to every situation. He had peace

(07:26):
because he was He knew that hewas in the will of God and doing
the will of his father. SoJohn fourteen twenty seven, we're gonna read
that and we're gonna break that down. We're gonna be talking about our heritage
of peace. So what is thepeace of God? Let's go over that
peace I leave with you. Itsays peace I leave with you. That's

(07:47):
viral. I'm leaving something with you, which is I'm bequeathing something to you,
something that's so important. Knows hedidn't say joy or any other than
he's at my peace I leave withyou. Keep going. My peace I
give to you, and my peaceI give to you. It's an inheritance

(08:07):
and it's also a free gift.He's leaving us something to the body of
Christ that the world can't buy.Let's go on not as the world gives.
Not the peace that the world supplies, because that piece is a false
piece, is a temporary peace.But the peace Christ gave us is supernatural
peace. So it's not a naturalpiece. It is a supernatural peace.

(08:28):
At do I give to you,Let your heart not be troubled, neither
let it be afraid. So knowingthis, he says, don't let your
heart be trouble. In other words, because we have God's supernatural peace.
So we have an inheritance something froma Lord, which is his peace.

(08:50):
Now again that is it is hispiece that he's giving us, Not the
peace of the world, not thepeace that comes from temporal things, but
the peace of God. And I'mgonna finish this. Were going to Philippians
four and seven then tells you whatthis peace does. Because a lot of
times supernatural things we have a smallunderstanding about. But this supernatural peace does

(09:16):
something we're gonna read about with thatin Romans. And we all know the
scripture Philippians four and seven, butI want to really break it down.
And the peace of God. Nownotice this and the peace of God.
So again it is not natural peace. It is not peace that the world
gives, but the peace of God. In other words, it is supernatural.

(09:37):
It does not come from outside means. It comes from God and man.
So the peace of God with surpassesall understanding. Amen. So watch
this a go beyond our natural thinking. In other words, you can have
a peace that surpasses your human understanding, your human wisdom. A man will

(10:00):
guard your hearts. So the God'speace, it guards your hearts and minds,
and it does it through Christ,Jesus, through Jesus Christ. So
the peace that Christ gave us,it surpasses your natural thinking. And that's
something you know. You go throughthese trials and you go through these testing
God says, I'm going to giveyou my peace. He says, remember

(10:22):
something he says in John sixteen thirtythree. In the world you will have
to relation. So but we havehis peace with surpasses our understanding. We
live in a very troubled time rightnow, and it's hard to have peace
in the natural when you're looking atthe news, or you're watching the news,
or you're reading the articles, andyou sing all these tragedies, all

(10:43):
these events happening. Viruses are justeverything saying the world's gone crazy. But
Christ promise us that we will haveHis peace that surpasses all understanding, every
reasoning, every human emotion. Ifand it will guard, it will stand
guard of your heart and minds andthrough Christ. Now I'm gonna break down

(11:05):
what peace is. We're gonna goto Theesians two and fourteen. Peace is
the assurance of God's abiding presence.I'm gonna say that one one time.
Peace. One of the definitions ofpeace is the assurance of God's abiding presence.
And you find that in for livingPhesians two and fourteen. For He

(11:28):
himself is our peace. Not rightthere, DearS, And I'm gonna just
load that one line right there,He himself is our peace. If you
don't have Christ, you cannot havepeace. But the word of God says
He himself is our peace. Sowhen you have Christ, remember something.
When you have Christ, you havehis peace. Where He himself is our

(11:50):
peace. So it is vital thatyou be in Christ and Christ in you.
If that is not the kings,you won't have peace. For He
is our peace. Now in theOld Testament peace what's called shaloon chalon means
peace, and what peace is inthe Old Testament and even New Testament,
it's a greedy. You hear Jewstoday say, schalong, it makes peace,

(12:13):
but it means more than just peace. Let me read what it is.
The Hebrew word is shalon, greedingthat expresses both the absence of conflicts
and God's highest blessing. So peaceare doing outside with no conflict, absence
of conflict and God's highest blessing.That's why Christ would say to disciples,
peace be under you. And hewas also told the disciples, when you

(12:35):
enter to a house, it says, say to the house, my peace
be there. So we do thisall the time when we greet one another's
And you notice the scripture that saysover and over again and all throughout the
epistles, grace and peace be multipliedto you. It is a greeding that
God's highest blessing be upon your life, and that may that be absence of

(12:58):
conflict. Now we know you getconflict because in the world we have your
relation, but you can have innerpeace when you have Christ. No matter
what goes on around you, Christ'speace will dwell in us because we have
Him. Again, if you don'tdwell in Christ, you will not have
that peace. So we had toask ourselves, why don't have peace of

(13:20):
my life? Remember something, Itis an inheritance. You don't have to
do anything for it. But somethingis a gift. When Christ says I'm
going to give you my peace,my peace I leave with you, he's
not telling you to work for it. He's telling you I'm leaving us to
you. But we have to activateit. And man, and we're gonna
break down how do we activate thatpeace. It's so vital that we learn

(13:43):
to activate the peace that remember something, we already have peace of God,
but if we don't learn to activatewhat God has given us. A lot
of times we have all these giftsand no abilities in us and we never
use them. All the things thatChrist left us his inheritance, we don't
use these things. So we're gonnatalk about the effects of peace. Number

(14:05):
two, We're going into the Bookof Isaiah twenty six and I love this
just verse here, and I thinkyou've heard it before many times, but
I'm gonna try to really break itdown because a lot of times we don't
understand we have something, but wedon't know how to operate it. It's
just like having a you know howwe get different electronic things that we don't

(14:26):
we never read the instruction manual.Well, the Word of God is your
instruction manual on how to operate intothe things of God. So Isaiah twenty
six, verse three and four,you're gonna read that you will keep him
in perfect peace. It says youwill keep him. God will keep the
person in perfect peace. But there'ssomething we require. Whose mind is stayed

(14:50):
on you, whose mind is stayedon him a lot of times. What
that means is this, It meansto leave upon. When it says our
minds staying on, we are toput a whole understanding then, and we
lean on something. Whatever you're leaningon provis support. So when I'm leaning

(15:13):
on the Lord, when I'm puttingmy whole depends upon the Lord. God
keeps us in that perfect peace.A lot of times, if we be
honest, our minds on everything elsebut the Lord, and it's on our
problems, our situation, to ourcircumstances. But He says he will keep
us and not watch this not justpeace, but perfect peace. That means

(15:37):
a peace that is complete, nothinglacking. That's really one more times.
You will keep him imperfect You willkeep him in perfect peace. You will.
Now that is a promise, isn'tthat you will keep him in perfect
peace? Who's mind? Let meread just in up I realized the Hebrew
translation. It reads this way,it's a person who desired rest on you.

(16:00):
When we rest on the Lord andleaning our complete just our whole being
on him, he undergirds us andhe supports us. That means my thought
is always leaning toward the Lord.When something comes up, guess what you're
doing. My thoughts are gonna leantoward the Lord. What would the Lord
have me to do? Situation?Then what God does When I put my

(16:22):
total dependence on God, he givesme his peace and return. And we
regat into scriptures in Philippians Catholic,your care upon him poor, he cared
for you, and then in Peterand don't interesting anything. So if my
mind is not toward the Lord orstate on the Lord, now, it
don't mean everywhere, can second,it means that no matter what happens in
life, my mind and my thoughtsare gonna be directed towards what God says.

(16:48):
And again that's through the word ofGod. So I have to put
my entire leave, my entire beingon the Lord. A lot of times
we wait until this is worsens outof control. We have to keep our
mind daily saying on the Lord.When you wake up in the morning,
how do you how do you greekthe morning? And then do you agree
with a worship with a praise oryou agree with a complaint. So I'm

(17:10):
wanna my mind has to be leaningtoward God. And when I do that,
gossip, I'll keep you in perfectpeace. Now read the next verse.
Trust in the Lord forever there yougo. Trust in the Lord.
Peace. Do what trust? Doesn'tit by you trusting in God? Because
no matter what you're going through,when you are trusting in God, you

(17:32):
know God will give you peace inthat circumstance. No matter what you're going
through, life ain't fair and lifeis hard. Therefore, we need God's
peace on your job and your school. No matter what you're going through,
you need God's peace because without God'speace, you will, I'm telling you
will crack up into the day's time. You will will being under the pressure,

(17:56):
you will fold because the world isdesigned to quit pressure on you.
It's designed to break you. ButGod says, I'm going to give you
again his peace again. Is notthe peace of the world gives. You
can't find peace in the bottle.You can't find it in the drug,
you can't find it in sex.You can only find the peace of God

(18:18):
in God himself and man. Sowhen you have God himself, you remember
he's called the God of Peace.So I need to leave my tire mind
and his thoughts on the Lord.David said, Lord, You're always in
my thoughts. I think about youupon my bed, So I we in
today. We need God's peace andthe peace of God. So's so complex

(18:41):
because it's just more than just havinginner contentment. It is inner contentment despite
of our circumstances, that you cango through all hell and peace will be
in you. When Christ was inthe storm with the disciples, he had
peace, and because he had peace, he can speak peace. You cannot

(19:03):
speak peace if you don't have peaceon the inside of you. So Christ
wants to put the peace of Godin us. God situation comes up,
we can speak peace to our situation. No matter what is going on,
we can speak peace to it.A lot of times will just lets stuff
go and now speaking peace to ithey, man, let's let me Let's
go to Isaiah thirty two, verseseventeen and eighteen. So Isaiah chapter thirty

(19:30):
two, verse seventeen and eighteen.This is the effects of peace. Ay
man, watch the effects of peace. The work of righteousness will be peace.
The work watch this, the workof righteousness will be what peace?
The work of righteous will be peace. That's why your own righteousness can't do
it. We have to have Christ'srighteousness, and the work of his righteousness

(19:55):
will do what we will be peacewill be peace a man, So it
produces at the effect of having righteousnessright standing with God, the work of
it will produce peace. Let's readthe next parton and the effect of righteousness.
Why quietness rightness happened? In effect, if I'm in right standing of
God, if i have Christ righteousness, the effect of it people with what

(20:19):
quietness? Quietness and hockey going andassurance forever and assurance. Amen. So
now only will we have righteousness,but the effect of it. In other
words, everything about God has aneffect to it. It says Ave one
more time. It says that theright will be peace and give affect of

(20:42):
righteousness, quietness and assurance forever andthen it says the next verse, my
people will dwell in a peaceful habitation. In other words, you can be
surrounded of all kind of defense.Hey, then all kind of the world
becoming at you. But God willcreate a space all around you and have

(21:02):
a chase. You. Remember,the Lord is our refuge, and when
I'm in his refuge, I havenothing but peace. We're binding under the
shoal of the Almighty God, andwe will have that quiet habitation with all
the world in that boat when thestorm was raging, Christ have peace in
the midst of chaos. And that'swhat God wants to give you. Peace
in the midst of chaos. Everybodyelse will be falling apart, but you'll

(21:26):
be standing storm because His peace willbe now again. It is the effects
of righteousness. So it's the benefitof having peace and righteousness because you can't
remember something. And peace is connectedto God because it is God's peace.
Righteousness comes from only come from God. Hey man, we have his righteousness.

(21:47):
Because we have this righteousness, itwill bring assurance. What's assurance?
Don't matter what we're going through,we have that assurance of peace, don't
it That assurance of God support God'scomfort and in habitation of peace. Again,
you can't have a peaceful outlook.You don't have righteters on the inside

(22:11):
of you. So it starts onthe inside of us. That righteous must
be inside of it. Remember something, it is not our outward doing,
it's our inward work, hey man, what Christ is working in us?
So it's an inner piece that holdsus together when the world of Rundus is
falling apart and we need that righteousness, don't way, So we got to
have sweet up one more time.I was wanting to drive that point home

(22:34):
about that piece and right because theygo hand in hand. Again, if
you have right standing with God.That's why it's important to make sure that
you are connected to Christ, becauseyou can't do this on your own.
You need his righteousness because that givesyou access to the Father. Hey man,

(22:56):
they get your right, They giveyou the access to the throne of
grit. You get obtained that peacethat you need a man. So one
more time, the work of righteousnesswill be peace. The work the rightness
will produce peace, and the effectof righteousness quietness. And the effect I
like that in the effect the righteousnessquietness. When the all the world was

(23:17):
speaking against you you have quietess inthe mind because a lot of times what
keeps up at night our mind doesn'tOur mind is not quiet. It just
always going and worrying and stressing out. But because of peace, it says,
you would have quietness. That meansyour mind is quiet and man,
your life could be busy, butyour mind, because you can be so

(23:37):
tired physically and your mind is justoverworking, is at nighttime, just always
constantly going, constantly going. Youcan't stick as your mind is so busy.
But God says the work of righteousness, the effect of it will produce
quietness and assurance. No matter whatyou have to face tomorrow, you have
that assurance that God will be there, ay man, and that will give

(24:02):
you peace. When you know Godis with you, you have that peace.
No matter what you have to facetomorrow, what it since you have
to make tomorrow, what you haveto go to the doctor, it may
not be good news, you havethat assurance that God will give you his
peace to stop every storms. Let'sgo to the next one, all right,

(24:25):
amen, And number three. Now, number one was our heritage of
peace. Number two was the effectsof peace because peace has effect. And
number three the word and the peaceconnection, because they're the big connection between
the word and peace, and sometimeswe miss that. Amen. So we're

(24:45):
gonna go to Colossus and everybody probablyread this million times, but I want
to show you the connection here.And let the peace of God rule in
your heart. Let and this isvery important. Let the peace of God
rule in your heart. I readthe next part to which to which also

(25:06):
you were called in one body andbe thankful. Let the Word of Christ
dwell in your richly, in awewisdom, teaching and admonishing one another,
in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to
the Lord and man. Let's breakit down now verse fifteen, and let

(25:30):
the peace and now watch this theLet there's two important lets here, and
let the peace of God. Versefifteen. Let the Word of Christ will
and you richly. Now that letis an act of the will. That
means there's something that you have todo. It involves your will. You
let the peace of God rule yourheart. A lot of times we don't

(25:52):
allow peace to rule our hearts.In other words, God, remember,
God gave you as peace, andthe peace is there to help you make
decisions to help you go in theright direction. So, but we have
to allow. We have to letit. Again, it's an act of
my will because a lot of timeswe don't want God's peace to rule us.

(26:15):
We make decisions on our arm,we go outside of God's will,
outside of God's word. But we'retold, let the peace of God rule.
That means serve as an umpire andlet you know when you're safe in
the will of God, and letyou know when you outside of the will
of God. So we are tolet the peace, not allow, but
let In other words, I haveto let the peace of God. I

(26:40):
have to surrender my will to God'speace. You know how we do we
talk ourselves into stuff we know it'soutside of the will of God. What
God does is he removes his peaceand we just press on anyway. You
see, peace will let you knowwhen you are in the will of God
and when you outside the will ofGod. So with that in mind,

(27:03):
if I'm make a decision and Godgives me his assurance that peace is his
assurance that I'm in the will ofGod, you will have that assurance that
I know this is God. Nomatter who was saying against it. You
know within yourself, I have God'speace. So that's when you know.
You say, but when you outsidethe will of God. Suppose you made

(27:25):
a decision and God and you don'thave any peace. And a lot of
times you know that you have nopeace about it when God was telling you
that you are outside of My will. So he removes that peace. So
we all to let the peace ofGod rule or hearts to which you are
called. We are called to thatone body. Now watch this and let

(27:45):
the I like that word again,Let the word of Christ dwell in us
richly. Now watch this again.I am to allow that word of God.
Nether word means to be at home. That word has to be at
home in us. It can't justbe. It can't be a runner.

(28:07):
It has to be it has tobe an owner. We are to let
that word dwell in us. Andit says richly what that means is this,
that word should be abundantly in us. Because what happens is when I
make a decision, God's word,along with his peace, will guide your

(28:27):
footsteps. The peace of God willlead you to the world of God to
create a firm foundation. So whatI'm prying about something what God does.
He gives me not only his peace, but he gives me his word.
Now, if I don't let thatword dwell in me richly, I won't

(28:48):
have the peace. You let peacerule by letting the word of God dwelling
you richly. If you don't havethe word, you won't have peace.
Hey man, So it's vital thatwe allow the word of God dwelling us
richly. A lot of times wedon't allow the word of God to rule
us. Do it because if theword of God says something that we don't

(29:11):
like, we tend to ignore it, like forgiving one another or dressing in
always in other situation, we don'tlike that, so we don't let it.
We don't abide in that. Wepick it, choose what we choose,
or abide them. But we areto let the word of God dwell
in us richly. In other words, it would direct my steps, and

(29:33):
then alone with God's peace, itwould help me to make the right choices,
because the word of God takes quiteorder over everything else. Let's go
to the next one of the Psalmsone nineteen and one sixty five. Great
Peace, Have those who love yourlaw listen that great peace now remember we

(29:56):
were perfect peace. Now great peace. Have those who love the word of
God. You remember to connections betweenthe Word of God and the peace of
God. Great peace, Have thosere all my time, Darius, great
peace, have those who love yourlaw. When you love the word of

(30:18):
God, the Word of God says, you'll have great peace. It's based
on your what loving the Word ofGod. And how do we love the
word of God Because it dwells inme abundantly. God. Word of God
is a fund of the end.And watch this when God gives you when
you love the Word of God,and he can't be a temporary thing.

(30:40):
You know what we do is onSunday the Word of God is at home
with us. And on Monday weevicted, We evict the word of God.
We don't, we don't follow theWord of God from Monday through charity.
But Sunday he's back at home again. It has to dwelling you seven
days a week. Amen. Andagain that dwelling does not mean just you

(31:02):
does read the word. It meansyou are living that word. So if
you're not living the word, youare not dwelling in the in the word.
Christ said, if you abiding himand his word abiding you. You
ask what you will and will bedone because the Word of God and Christ
is abiding in you. So wedon't make sure that. And we all

(31:22):
need not just peace, but greatpeace to those who love the law,
the love the Word of God.So we want that great peace. And
then and then again that connect betweenthe word and peace. You can't separate
them. The more word you haveand you live that word, the great
the peace you have. And theless you have of the Word, the

(31:47):
less peace you have. Because it'sonly promised to those who love the Lord,
or love the Word of God,love the Law. So I have
to make sure that I love that. And how can you How do you
know you love the word when youput it first. You know a lot
of times when you get up inthe morning, the first thing we open
up is our social media instead ofthe Word of God. Because whomever you

(32:08):
love, you're gonna pursue. Ifyou love the Word of God, you're
gonna pursue the Word of God.Whatever you love, you pursue. So
ask yourself, what is the firstword you read in the morning. Isn't
your Facebook page or Instagram page orsocial media page. Is listening to the
news or is it listening to Godin the morning and then so I want

(32:28):
to make sure. We want tomake sure that we get God's word the
morning and you have peace the restof that day, Great peace for those
who love the word of God.Ain'tmen, Now watch this. I'm gonna
show you what happens when you don'tfollow the word of God. Let's go
to Isaiah forty eight eighteen and thisis probably one of the saddest scriptures that

(32:52):
you want to read, and ittells you what happens, what God's desire
is, and what happens when wedon't follow it. We don't follow God's
playing this program for our life.Verse eighteen, Oh that you had heated
my commandments. Again Isaiah forty eightand eighteen, and it says, oh,

(33:13):
that you had heated my commandments.It's just like your parents telling you
sometimes, I wish you to listento me. I wish you to listen
to my instruction. Keep on goingahead. Then your peace would have been
like a river, and your righteousnesslike the waves of the seat. That's
what God saying. He's saying,if you would have heated my commandments,

(33:34):
if you would have followed my direction, your peace would have been like a
river. So when you get outsidethe will of God, you lose that
peace, don't you. God said, I would have gave you my great
I would have gave you a piecelike what's the river? It always flowing,
it's always flowing and moving. Itsays, if you would have just
heated my commandments. A lot oftimes we all have been there, but

(33:59):
we have done things that valley theword of God, the will of God,
and we lose our peace. Godremoves his peace. He said,
if you would have just listened tome, your peace would have been like
a river, and your righteous rememberrighteous again, would have been like the
ways lensly, always flow and alwaysmoving. So when we do that,

(34:20):
when we disobey the word of God, God removes his peace. And God
doesn't one too. He said,you were just listening to when you doesn't
heed it, because watch this.When God gives you his word, it's
to bring you peace, it's tobring you success, and oftentimes we ignore
it because we want to have ourown way. Now watch this, I'm
a coach. Is this very scripture? Here is Isaiah fifty seventh, nineteen

(34:44):
or twenty one again talking about whenwe go outside God. And a lot
of times we've all been guilty ofgoing outside the word of God to do
what we want to do. Andbasically the saying, when you do wicked
things, you won't have any peace. Let's rear that as there fifty seven

(35:06):
nineteen to twenty one. I createthe fruit of the lips. Peace.
Peace to him who was afar off, and to him who was near,
says the Lord God says peace.Peace those who are far off. They're
talking about the gentile nations, thosewho are near the Jewish nation gossip.
I want to give peace to everyone, But watch what he says next,

(35:27):
and I will heal them. Butthe wicked are like the trouble sea.
Remember the other one. It saysyour peace would have been like a river,
But it says now, but thewicked are like the trouble sea.
It's like the storms when you aredoing the wrong things. Not a lot
of times when we when we saysin, we don't say sin. We
say I made a mistake. Butthe Bible consider sins wicked. The things

(35:50):
that we do is wicked. Now, if we saw sin the way gossis
sin, we won't do that.We'll learn to hate the sin it's out
made a mistake. A mistake.It's different, isn't it. But when
you say I'll see it or I'vedone wick it, it's telling like it
really is. And it says thatyou'll be like the trouble Sea. And
we all have been there on thatstorm that we created ourselves because of our

(36:13):
actions, and we lose that piece, it says when it cannot rest when
there's a storm. You ever lookat the ocean when it's storming, or
the river or the lakes that wesee it is violentism and the waves are
crashing and things like just just moving. Destruction comes. And that's what happens
when you follow your own way andyou lose that piece of God. Now

(36:34):
watch what God says next. Who'swaters cast up myra and dirt? Oh
my God? And you look atthe storm it brings every just the stuff
from the bottom of the sea justcomes to the surface. And that's what
happens when we see me lose God'speace. The others of life just comes
up to the surface. That's whywe want to stay in God's peace.

(36:55):
Now watch what he says here next. There is no peace, says there
is no peace when you do wickedthings word God says, you won't have
peace. There is no peace forthe wicked. Saith the Lord. This
is why we want to allow theWord of God to joining us richly.
When you do wicked things, Godremoves peace. He can give you peace

(37:17):
when you're doing the wrong things,and then when you're doing wicked and simple
things, you won't have peace aboutit. But God says, if you
just heed my commandments, you heedmy word, peace will be like a
river a man, and wright's willflow like the ways of the same.
So we are to pursue peace.The Word of God says, we are

(37:38):
to get that peace. Amen.So allows the Word of God to dwell
in your richly. Remember something,the Word of God says, he is
our peace. Yes, Piasians too, it's struck with a white leadership,
with the Lord having his peace.If you're right with him, you'll have
that perfect peace. And know onlythat if you love the Word of God,

(38:00):
that perfect peace terms to great peace. Have those who love the Word
of God, and that's what Godthese examples. Remember something. His peace
is our inheritance. It is ourbirthright from being born again in the Kingdom
of God. God left his peacedon't squander that peace by going outside the

(38:20):
will of God. Activated by lettingthat Word of Christ, dwelling you richly
and doing the things that God approvesof. We're gonna pray tonight that God
with If you have lost your peace, you can get it back by getting
in the right relationship with the Lordagain, renewing your love for the Lord,
renewing your love for the Word ofGod, and God will once again

(38:42):
allow that peace and you to beactivated, and again it supersedes everything is
going on in the world. Christ, in the world, you will have
to relationship, but my peace Iliter with you. So we're gonna pray
tonight that you will experience God's peace. And if you have not, if
you have not falling in love forthe Lord, if you lost that love
for the Lords, get it backbecause God's waiting for you. I'm thinking

(39:07):
somebody night who's listening. You mayhave felt that you've done too much.
God's went for you to come backto him. He loves you and he
wants that peace to come back toyou. Your mind so trouble right now,
and God wants to restore that peaceto you. All you've got to
do is confess your sin and turnfrom your sins, and God will be
waiting for you where his arms wideopen. The Word of God says that

(39:30):
if you come under him, hewould no wise cast you out. And
another the Lord. When you cometo him, God said, I will
not turn your way. And solet's pray, Heavenly Father, we pray
for those tonight, especially though onceyou're talking to the night Lord about getting
their peace back, Lord, restoringthe relationship that they once had with your
father. So we pray to NightLord she would touch their hearts that they

(39:52):
will come back to you Lord.Let them though there is no peace outside
of you, Lord, there isno peace and restation, relationship, ships,
chasing the things of this world.So we pray Father, that day
will come back to you, Lord, that they experience your great peace and
help those who Lord, who knowyou, faula love of the Word of
God. Once again, Lord,make that word excite them once again.

(40:15):
Let that word dwelling them richie tonight. Lord. So Father, we thank
you for the inheritance of your peacethat you're giving us. Father, and
we just give you the glory andthe honor, and you just name you.
