The Source of Peace

Image
“And he will stand to lead his flock with the LORD’s strength, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. Then his people will live there undisturbed, for he will be highly honored around the world. And he will be the source of peace...” — Micah 5:4-5 (NLT) For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given…And His name will be called
 Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (See Isaiah 9:6 NKJV) King Yeshua is the Prince of Peace. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT) May His perfect peace rule in your heart and in your mind.

Worship in Spirit & Truth

Image
“God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” — John 4:24 (AMP) “Opposition to truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.” (Romans 1:20 TPT) “From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24 TPT) All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is Yahweh’s and He rules over the nations. — Psalms 22:27-28 (LSB)

Worship The LORD

Image
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty and majesty of His holiness [as the creator and source of holiness]. — Psalms 29:2 (AMP) Yahweh is our Creator and the source of all we need. …in Him we live and move and have our being. (See Acts 17:28 NKJV) He Himself gives to all of people life and breath and all things; (See Acts 17:28 NASB1995) Release the frustrations, disappointments and cares of this world and receive all that our heavenly Father has for us, —redemption, salvation, righteousness, healing, lovingkindness, compassion, and everlasting joy, etc. Yahweh sat enthroned over the flood; Indeed, Yahweh sits as King forever. Yahweh will give strength to His people; Yahweh will bless His people with peace. (Psalms 29:10-11 LSB) Amen. Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. — Psalms 95:6 (NASB1995)

God’s Perfect Plan

Image
And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (TPT) Whatever you are in the midst of today, remember to be always giving thanks to God. If circumstances are not ideal, thank God that He is bringing you through it. The situation is temporary. When you focus on lack, it makes your world seem small. Being thankful for what God has already provided helps to acknowledge our Source: our heavenly Father and it also allows room for multiple blessings to flow into our lives. Being thankful creates an atmosphere for miracles to take place. In Matthew 14, a multitude of people were with Jesus, in a deserted place and He instructed the disciples to feed them. Jesus got them to focus on what they had. Then he had everyone sit down on the grass as he took the five loaves and two fish. He looked up into heaven, gave thanks to God, and broke the bread into pieces. He then gave it to his disciples, who in tu...

Plug into His Presence

Image
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:4-5 (NKJV) In the Amplified Bible Jesus says “… apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. ” (John 15:5) Our union with Him is vital. In order to live the abundant and fruitful life He intended for us, we have to abide in Him. Your cell phone or any electronic device is useless, unless it has been plugged into an electric source and charged. And a believer who is disconnected from their Source is unable to perform and function as we were created to. Let us stay connected to Jesus, the Source of our life. As we remain engaged with Him, we have everlasting peace that is not moved by earthly circumstances. When we are plugged into His Presence we experience fullness of joy, ...

Run to the Source

Image
The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet and makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility]. — Habakkuk 3:19 (AMP) God, our Creator, is the source of all that we need. He is the God who makes a way for us. Psalm 78:38 (AMP) says, He is the source of compassion and lovingkindness. God is the source of hope (Romans 15:13 NLT) The Holy One is the source of wisdom (Proverbs 30:3 AMP) The LORD is the source of all my righteousness and strength (Isaiah 45:24 NLT) And Jesus, the Messiah is the Source of eternal salvation. (Acts 6:7 AMP) O come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer]. (Psalm 95:6 AMP) “ A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing at all] unless it has been granted to him from heaven [for there is no other source than the sovereign will of God]. ” ( John 3:27 AMP )...

Abundant Joy & Peace

Image
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. — Romans 15:13 (NLT) “ Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance. ” (Isaiah 55:2 NKJV) Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8) Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:6) The Lord always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does (Psalm 145:13b NLT). He satisfies the desire of every living thing. (Psalm 145:16 NKJV) May you go out with everlasting joy and be led forth with perfect peace, as you trust in our great and mighty God.

Draw from the Well

Image
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”   The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? — John 4:10-11 (NKJV) If a well is the only source of water for a city and the people in that city never go to the well and draw water, they will die of thirst. Just as the Samaritan woman came to the well to draw water, we must come to Jesus, if we don’t want to perish. When we give our heart to Jesus, we receive the gift of God, eternal life and a more abundant life here on earth. Having believed, we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13). We have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. He is our Helper and the source of our strength. When we stay connected to Jesus, and continually draw from His Holy Spirit, an unlimited supply of resources are made available t...

Stay with God!

Image
The one thing I ask of the LORD— the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD’s perfections and meditating in his Temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. — Psalm 27:4-5 (NLT) Our heavenly Father is not a dead beat dad. He is alive. He is willing and He is able to handle all of your concerns. He is the ultimate source of all we need, want and desire. While others may cast you aside, the LORD adopts you as His child. Psalm 27:10 (MSG) says, “ My father and mother walked out and left me, but God took me in. ” Don’t despair when people mistreat you. Abide in peace, because we have God’s protection, His provision and most important of all, His Presence. Circumstances may not always be perfect, but our heavenly Father is, and He has a good plan for your life, to give you a future and a hope. I’m sure now I’ll see God’s goodness ...

Great is the LORD

Image
For I know that the LORD is great, and our Lord is above all gods. — Psalm 135:5 (NKJV) The LORD is Elohim, the all—powerful God and Creator of the universe and all it contains. He intricately knits each and every person together in the the womb of their mother. And He writes all of our days in His Book, before we take our first breath. Almighty God is our provider. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above (James 1:17). He is El Shaddai: the all-sufficient One. Whatever we need, He is our source. He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). He is Adonai or Lord, full of majesty  and glory, worthy to be praised. We are children of the Most High God. He is greater than any challenge you encounter. Let us worship Him in spirt and in truth. He must increase, but we must decrease. (John 3:30)

The Centerpiece

Image
So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He’s the centerpiece of everything we believe, faithful in everything God gave him to do. — Hebrews 3:1 (MSG) Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. (Hebrews 3:1 NIV). Give your focused attention to Jesus, the source of our help. He has overcome the world. God always leads us in triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). Follow His call to the heights. He is the centerpiece of everything. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. (Psalm 34:5 NLT)

Get in Position

Image
“O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” — 2 Chronicles 20:12 (NKJV) When you face opposition, look to the LORD, the source of our help. In 2 Chronicles 20:17, the people of Judah and Jerusalem were told they would not need to fight in the battle, but to position themselves and they would see the salvation of the LORD. We too must position ourselves for battle. When they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against their enemies and their enemies were defeated. (2 Chronicles 20:22). When opposition comes, let us get in the proper position. Pray and sing praises to the LORD, for the victory He has prepared for us. Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. (2 Chronicles 20:15)

The Source of All Comfort

Image
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NLT) God is the Father of compassion. He comforts us in all our trials and tribulation. He encourages those who are discouraged and lifts up those with heavy hearts. Psalm 94:19 (NLT) says, when doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. When you face troubles of any kind and anxious thoughts multiply, let our heavenly Father be your comforter. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another... Romans 15:5 (NKJV)

Live & Move

Image
...for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ — Acts 17:28 (NKJV) When we try to “do” life without God, it leads to frustration and failure. In Him, we are able to live the abundant life. In Him, there is fullness of joy. The Lord is the only One who can complete us. We were created to live and move and exist in Him. Don't let the enemy draw you away from the very source or your life, your purpose and your extraordinary destiny.

Father of Compassion & Comfort

Image
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.  — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) Our heavenly Father is full of compassion and the source of all comfort. We can know that we know, our God is faithful. He is no respecter of persons and He does not change. What He does for one, He will do for all. If we fall, our merciful Father is there to catch us in His arms. In all of our troubles He is there to comfort us. He is the excellent role model for us. As He is compassionate and comforts us, likewise we can be there for others when they are troubled, and going through hard times.

Rejoice in the Lord!

Image
Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice! — Philippians 4:4 (AMP) When we make a decision to rejoice in the Lord, we have an abundant pool to draw from. He is the limitless source of all our joy, peace, hope and love. The joy of the LORD is also our strength. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4 NKJV)!

“I Will Help You”

Image
For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. — Isaiah 41:13 (NIV) Are you giving more attention to your circumstances than your mighty God? Look up, to the source of your help. I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:1-2 NIV). The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time (Psalm 34:19 NLT).

How to Live

Image
“True wisdom and real power belong to God; from him we learn how to live, and also what to live for.” — Job 12:13 (MSG) If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you (James 1:5 NLT). If you are weary and worn out, God is the source of all strength and power. When you are in need of direction, He has counsel and understanding. God is all we need! Let us live our lives in Him.

Comfort in Affliction

Image
This is my comfort and consolation in my affliction: that Your word has revived me and given me life. — Psalm 119:50 (AMP) God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NLT). God comforts us with His Word. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21 NKJV). May we not only speak the Word of God into our lives, but also into the lives of others that they be comforted and revived.

He Dwells Within

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? — 1 Corinthians 3:16 (NKJV) The Spirit of God who dwells within us is a God of love, peace and patience. He is the God of all comfort. He is a God of mercy and truth. Our heavenly Father is our strength and the very source of all that we need. Let the presence of His Holy Spirit permeate every crevice of your being. Let His light invade any dark areas of your heart and mind. He will strengthen the weak areas and heal the hurts, with a constant flow of His love. But we must open the door of our hearts to  Him.
