You Can Live in Peace: Experiencing the Jesus Kind of Peace

You Can Live in Peace – The Jesus Kind of Peace (Ephesians 2:14)

   The world offers a kind of peace through its systems, governments, and philosophies but this peace is temporary. In contrast, Jesus offers a peace that surpasses all understanding. This is not the fragile calm the world gives, but an inner well-being that remains steady regardless of circumstances. It is the Jesus kind of peace.

"For He Himself is our peace..." – Ephesians 2:14

   This peace is available to you as God’s beloved child, created in His image and likeness. He has promised to keep you in perfect peace when your mind is stayed on Him. The Jesus kind of peace quiets storms, silences fear, and gives you confidence in God’s love even in the face of trials.

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." – Isaiah 26:3

   Jesus said, “In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart; in Me you will have peace.” This means that even when chaos, confusion, or conflict surrounds you, you can remain calm. Whether in your home, family, workplace, or nation, the Jesus kind of peace allows you to stand firm in love.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." – John 14:27

   This peace is as close as your breath. When you pause, breathe deeply, and recognize the presence of God within you, you can experience His peace that settles every storm. You can declare, “Peace, be still” over trials, temptations, and troubles in your life.

   The Jesus kind of peace brings balance between humanity and divinity. In Christ, heaven and earth meet there is no separation between God and His creation. Jesus came from heaven to earth to unite us with the Father, showing us that God’s Kingdom is here, now. With this peace, you no longer live in inner warfare, but in harmony with God’s will.

"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." – Matthew 6:10

   In this peace, heaven and earth are one. The Creator and the created are reconciled. You can confidently say: Yes, God I am who You created me to be. Yes, God I will go where You send me. Yes, God I will speak what You command. Yes, God I will walk in Your covenant promises. That is the Jesus kind of peace.

📖 Reflection: In what area of your life do you need to fully surrender to experience the Jesus kind of peace?

💡 Action Step: Today, pause for a deep, conscious breath and invite God’s presence into your heart. Speak “Peace, be still” over your situation and trust Him to keep you in perfect peace.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
