Children of Peace












God is peace. We can be sure that Christ is found wherever His peace is. Where peace is there also are the reaches of His kingdom. Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.


Peace is a landing strip for Gods word. He releases His words to us on the fertile soil of His peace where it is sure to bear good fruit. James 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.


Peace is our umpire. It helps us discern what is from God and what is not. There is no peace for the wicked. The wicked hordes of hell and the kingdom of darkness are ruled by fear. When our peace has escaped us we can be sure that an enemy spy is in our camp whispering conspiring lies from Hell. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,…….


Peace is a guardian. It guards our hearts and minds in Christ from everything that is not of Him. Thoughts are gates to heaven and hell. When our thoughts are not taken captive to the obedience of Christ a gate to hell is open. When our thoughts align with Christ all the doors to hell are shut and peace reigns. Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


Peace is a foundation on which God builds His kingdom. God will add to and build further where peace is a foundation. Everything built on peace will stand and all other ground is shifting sand. If we build upon an idea or a word spoken where peace did not underlay, that structure will without a doubt collapse. Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.


We rule and reign in peace. When we are seated with Christ the enemy is under our feet. Our peace is only taken when we leave our eternal inheritance of sitting with Christ in heavenly places. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
