King James Version
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
In an unsteady world, we have to be steady.
We can only be steady, through CHRIST.
JESUS asked SEVEN things of us.
What would these things be?
What were His commands?
SPIRIT led me to these verses:
1. WORSHIP God.
Luke 4:8
King James Version
8 And Jesus answered
and said unto him,
Get thee behind me, Satan:
for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.
2. LOVE one another.
John 15:12
King James Version
12 This is my commandment,
That ye love one another,
as I have loved you.
3. BE born again.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
4. KEEP Jesus' commandments.
John 15:10
King James Version
10 If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments,
and abide in his love.
5. REPENT, and BELIEVE the gospel.
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
6. BE perfect.
Matthew 5:48
King James Version
48 Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect.
7. BELIEVE in Jesus.
John 6:47
King James Version
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me
hath everlasting life.
SEVEN instructions.
Are they easy to follow?
Yes, for those who seek GOD.
For He will make you born again.
And once you are, His SPIRIT will teach you.
And you will know everything about JESUS.
And JESUS will tell you everything about GOD.
And you will truly love GOD.
It's always full circle.
Inner peace is a process.
It can only be had, through JESUS, the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
King James Version
6 For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
JESUS made peace, through His own blood.
Colossians 1:17-20
King James Version
17 And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace
through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself;
by him, I say, whether they be things in earth,
or things in heaven.
P.S. Interestingly, as I was on the cusp of wrapping up this article, searching for that verse on "Prince of Peace", suddenly wifi conks out.
Predictable.
The enemy doesn't want the WORD out.
Especially on PEACE.
So very predictable.
But this article goes through.
VICTORY is ALWAYS through CHRIST.
