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 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 an audience wit

A Giving Heart

  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
