The Joy of Jesus – Serenity In Your Communication – Peacefully

Many of us look to our #political #leaders to bring us #peace.  Ironically, we are warned in the book of #Revelations about a leader that will soon come with a message of false peace.  But, Paul tells Christians the key to peace is prayer.  What did we learn to pray about last week?  Can we create peace?  How can an enemy of God find peace with God?  Is peace with God the same as peace of God?  The peace we are promised is more than just living in harmony with others.  It is peace that passes all understanding.  But what does that involve?  This is a peace that will guard the heart and mind.  Does that sound good right now?  This is not feel good self help but, rather, a relationship with Jesus Christ.

These days most people want to #change your mind.  #Jesus Christ promised to change more than that now and when He returns.  For now, when you come to a saving knowledge and relationship with the Lord your mind will be renewed.  When Christ returns He will give His followers a new body, too.  Do we know when that will be?  What will a new body involve?  Why will that be necessary?  What examples did Jesus give us with His new body after resurrection?

The LIVING GOD #LAW OF LOVE

Law – #order – #justice – #liberty – Sound like a TV series?  The news gives more time and coverage to law breakers then those giving their lives upholding the law.  As I have observed people from the 40’s until today, I see a totally self obsessed society! (selfies -snapchat -get the picture?)  Listen to your recordings, most songs start with “I”.  Indulgence of  drugs and sex are seen as a pastime for the “meet all my needs” person who cannot see beyond his own nose.   Self centered individuals think they are above or can get around all laws.  Just get a lawyer!   Where do YOU go to find the right opinion on law?  Liars prefer to just make it up as it comes up?  In God’s Word, the Bible, we find in Matthew 22:35-40 a lawyer asking Jesus Christ a question before the Pharisees and scribes “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the LAW?  Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.  This is the first and foremost commandment.  The second is like unto it, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.   On these two commandments depend all the LAW and the Prophets.”  (Might want to read last weeks’ blog, my six year old neighbor taught me the meaning of this scripture)

The LIVING GOD #TESTS

Georgia has stopped the #test for seniors to receive their high school diploma and even made it retro active for all those who completed the required attendance and courses.  No one likes tests, yet life is filled with testing.  Tests are difficult, yet we want certified professionals in every field.  What does the Bible say about testing?  Jer. 11:20 “the LORD OF HOSTS TESTS THE MIND AND HEART”…17:10″I the LORD TEST the MIND even to give each man according to his ways according to the results of his deeds”  Are you the exception?  Jer.20:12 “LORD TESTS THE RIGHTEOUS”  Prov.17:3 “Refining pot is for silver, and furnace for gold; but the LORD TRIES (TESTS) THE HEARTS”  1Peter1:6-9 “…you have been distressed by various trials that TEST YOUR FAITH, being more precious than gold that is perishable, even though TESTED by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen HIM, you love HIM and though you do not see HIM now, but believe in HIM, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of  glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your soul.”  Now that’s a graduation diploma with the LORD’S SEAL.
