Peace of Mind

PEACE OF MIND
2 Corinthians 13:11

“Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”

How do we find peace when there’s no peace to be found? This question is ask many times of those suffering a tragedy of life. Even those who are confused, in despair and have no peace seek to find peace. Many are looking in the wrong places through eyes blinded by worldly methods. Temporal at best and totally insufficient in revealing and producing peace of mind, solutions of this world are tools for the devil. When sorrow comes by death of someone or something precious and brings debilitating grief, there is but one source to peace of mind; “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3) Jesus is the one and only source of perfect and eternal peace of mind.

We are to earnestly pray to God for those we attempt to console, that they may find peace of mind, and know Him in the free pardon of sin. If they know Him, they have already consulted with him and simply needs a boost of faith. That is our part in bringing peace of mind to a grieving heart. Loving support, words of peace from our Lord and comradeship. For those who do not know God, we take them to the one who brings peace of mind. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3)

We should be glad for others to be strong in the grace of Christ and at peace in their mind. Grievous things will come to the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’ with equal trauma. Satan's worshipers have a far away and non caring pseudo-God who loves their suffering and keeps them in darkness. He gives them remedies that kill the mind and soul. Still the suffering goes on. Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the other side of the coin, is the one who can...do all things. In Him there is no darkness. We take them to the one who can., though it may be the means of showing our own weakness. Let us always pray that we may be enabled to make a proper use of all our talents.

God is the Author of peace and Lover to us all. He hath loved us forever with a love that will never fail. He is willing to be at peace with us so that we can have peace of mind; and aid others. Peace of mind allows us to walk so that separation from our friends may be only for a time, and that we may meet in that happy world where parting will be unknown. Trials and troubles always will face the living. So live that when thy summons comes there will be peace of mind. As we live in His Spirit, He shields with His peace. (John 14:27) “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.”

(Romans 12:16) “Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.” We must continue to examine ourselves to make sure we are in the faith. We need to compare our words and actions with God's standards sat out in the Bible and see whether we measure up. The Father out of his free love has purposed; and the Holy Ghost applies and bestows. Amen. Know the Holy Ghost God, know peace of mind. 12-18-2019 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
