BELIEVERS have PEACE

 

Mark 5:36

King James Version

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, 

he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, 

Be not afraid, only believe.

If you were to watch the news today, you'd be worried.

But believers in JESUS can't be worried.

A true born again trusts in JESUS.

Completely.

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE give us comfort.

Showing that only THROUGH JESUS, can we have peace.

We know GOD is in control of everything.

We have FAITH in our LORD.

JESUS assures us:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

John 14:27

King James Version

27 Peace I leave with you, 

my peace I give unto you: 

not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 

Let not your heart be troubled, 

neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace.

fill you with all joy and peace in believing, 

that ye may abound in hope, 

through the power of the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.

Galatians 5:22-26

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is 

love, joy, peace, longsuffering,

 gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: 

against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh 

with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, 

let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, 

provoking one another, envying one another.

Philippians 4:6-7

King James Version

6 Be careful for nothing; 

but in every thing by prayer and supplication 

with thanksgiving 

let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 1:7

King James Version

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, 

and of love, 

and of a sound mind.

Hebrews 13:20-21

King James Version

20 Now the God of peace, 

that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, 

that great shepherd of the sheep, 

through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, 

working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, 

through Jesus Christ; 

to whom be glory for ever and ever. 

Amen.

James 3:17

King James Version

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, 

then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, 

full of mercy and good fruits, 

without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Believers are unafraid.

We have peace.

JESUS gives us peace.

Scripture gives us peace.

Unbelievers are in grave danger.

John 3:36

King James Version

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: 

and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; 

but the wrath of God abideth on him.

King James Version

47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

48 I am that bread of life.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

FREE of worry

 

Psalm 37:18

King James Version

18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright:

 and their inheritance shall be for ever.

Why does the Bible say "fret not"?

What are we supposed to be free of worry from?

Why shouldn't we worry about evildoers?

Here's where SPIRIT led me:

Psalm 37:1-2

King James Version

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, 

neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, 

and wither as the green herb.

Psalm 37:7

King James Version

7 Rest in the Lord, 

and wait patiently for him: 

fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, 

because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Psalm 37:8

King James Version

8 Cease from anger, 

and forsake wrath: 

fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Instead of fretting, what does JESUS say?

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

In addition, apostle Paul urges us to focus on CHRIST alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

It's also good to know these things:

As 2023 starts

 

Psalm 42:11

King James Version

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

 and why art thou disquieted within me? 

hope thou in God: 

for I shall yet praise him, 

who is the health of my countenance, 

and my God.

How shall we look upon this new year?

What to look forward to in 2023?

As born again, my hope is only in JESUS.

Living each day, by the Bible.

Looking forward to the Rapture.

These verses will give you comfort for 2023:

Proverbs 19:21

King James Version

21 There are many devices in a man's heart; 

nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, 

that shall stand.

Jeremiah 29:11

King James Version

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, 

and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.

Lamentations 3:22-23

King James Version

because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: 

great is thy faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:24

King James Version

24 The Lord is my portion, 

saith my soul; 

therefore will I hope in him.

Lamentations 3:25-26

King James Version

25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, 

to the soul that seeketh him.

26 It is good that a man should both hope 

and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

Matthew 6:25

King James Version

25 Therefore I say unto you, 

Take no thought for your life, 

what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; 

nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 

Is not the life more than meat, 

and the body than raiment?

Matthew 6:30

King James Version

30 Wherefore, 

if God so clothe the grass of the field, 

which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, 

shall he not much more clothe you, 

O ye of little faith?

Matthew 6:31-33

King James Version

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, 

What shall we eat? or, 

What shall we drink? 

or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) 

for your heavenly Father knoweth 

that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 

and his righteousness; 

and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:34

King James Version

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: 

for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. 

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Romans 8:18

King James Version

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time 

are not worthy to be compared with the glory 

which shall be revealed in us.

Romans 8:22-25

King James Version

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth 

and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, 

which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 

even we ourselves groan within ourselves, 

waiting for the adoption, to wit, 

the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: 

but hope that is seen is not hope: 

for what a man seeth, 

why doth he yet hope for?

25 But if we hope for that we see not, 

then do we with patience wait for it.

Romans 8:26-27

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts 

knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, 

because he maketh intercession for the saints 

according to the will of God.

Romans 8:28

King James Version

28 And we know that all things work together for good 

to them that love God, 

to them who are the called 

according to his purpose.

2 Corinthians 4:13-14

King James Version

13 We having the same spirit of faith, 

according as it is written, 

I believed, and therefore have I spoken; 

we also believe, and therefore speak;

14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus 

shall raise up us also by Jesus, 

and shall present us with you.

2 Corinthians 4:15-16

King James Version

15 For all things are for your sakes, 

that the abundant grace might 

through the thanksgiving of many 

redound to the glory of God.

16 For which cause we faint not; 

but though our outward man perish, 

yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18

King James Version

17 For our light affliction, 

which is but for a moment, 

worketh for us 

a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, 

but at the things which are not seen: 

for the things which are seen are temporal; 

but the things which are not seen are eternal.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 

ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly 

that the day of the Lord so cometh 

as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 

then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 

as travail upon a woman with child; 

and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 

that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, 

and the children of the day: 

we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; 

but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; 

and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, 

putting on the breastplate of faith and love; 

and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, 

but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, 

whether we wake or sleep, 

we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 

and edify one another, even as also ye do.

James 4:13-15

King James Version

13 Go to now, ye that say, 

To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, 

and continue there a year, 

and buy and sell, and get gain:

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.

15 For that ye ought to say, 

If the Lord will, we shall live, 

and do this, or that.

1 Peter 1:3-7

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

which according to his abundant mercy 

hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 

by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 

and undefiled, 

and that fadeth not away, 

reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God 

through faith unto salvation 

ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, 

though now for a season, if need be, 

ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7 That the trial of your faith, 

being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, 

though it be tried with fire, 

might be found unto praise and honour and glory 

at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

3 things you can TRUST

 

John 8:31-32

King James Version

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews 

which believed on him, 

If ye continue in my word, 

then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, 

and the truth shall make you free.

The world can be intimidating to most people.

They don't know what to believe.

They don't know whom to believe.

What truth is there in the world?

The media will report many things.

But who has inside information on all these?

As born again, I trust in only THREE things:

The SAVIOR, SPIRIT, and SCRIPTURE.

This I believe, with ALL my heart.

And here's proof.

Why I trust JESUS, the SAVIOR:

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Why I trust SPIRIT:

John 14:16-17

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

Why I trust SCRIPTURE:

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

We are not to trust our fallible judgments.

The Bible was clear on that.

Psalm 146:3-7

King James Version

3 Put not your trust in princes, 

nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; 

in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, 

whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, 

and all that therein is: 

which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: 

which giveth food to the hungry. 

The Lord looseth the prisoners:

My trust is in the LORD alone.

I serve only Him.

Joshua 24:15

King James Version

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, 

choose you this day whom ye will serve; 

whether the gods which your fathers served 

that were on the other side of the flood, 

or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: 

but as for me and my house, 

we will serve the Lord.

It's time to TURN back to GOD now.

It's time to believe in something real.

In SOMEONE who really LOVES you.

In turn, it's time to LOVE the LORD, too.

And to be grateful for everything.

We have defied Him too long.

PERILOUS times

 Proverbs 25:28

King James Version

28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit 

is like a city that is broken down, 

and without walls.

Are we living in perilous times?

Are these the last days?

Surely, you've noticed.

Nothing seems to make sense.

People refuse to believe in GOD.

They don't want to believe in JESUS.

They have no idea who the HOLY SPIRIT is.

There are many false prophets and antichrists.

There are wars, and threat of wars.

There are shortages here, and there.

There are confusing agendas.

Economic knowledge is reserved for the elite.

But a born again knows what GOD has planned.

ANY moment could be the last day.

That's why we take great care we live by GOD's will.

We live by the Bible, and know what things are about.

SPIRIT, and SCRIPTURE, tell us all we need to know:

Joel 2:28-32

King James Version

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, 

that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; 

and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 

your old men shall dream dreams, 

your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants 

and upon the handmaids in those days 

will I pour out my spirit.

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, 

blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, 

and the moon into blood, 

before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

32 And it shall come to pass, 

that whosoever shall call 

on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: 

for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem 

shall be deliverance, 

as the Lord hath said, 

and in the remnant 

whom the Lord shall call.

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 21:11

King James Version

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, 

and famines, and pestilences; 

and fearful sights and great signs shall there be 

from heaven.

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, 

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:13

King James Version

13 But evil men and seducers 

shall wax worse and worse, 

deceiving, 

and being deceived.

What to do, that we may be with JESUS during the Rapture?

JESUS tells us:

Matthew 18:3

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter 

into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 22:37-40

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.

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.

John 3:3

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.
