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.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
