YHWH SHALOM - The Lord Is Peace

 

YHWH SHALOM

THE LORD IS PEACE

Judges 6:23, 24

But the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.”

So Gideon built an altar there to The LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 

Isaiah 6:9

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 

    When God calls people to His service, He gives us His peace. We are not called to fear and doubt, we are called to trust and obey. We are not called to worry and anxiety, we are called to rest and remain. Trust in His process and obey His Word. Rest in His Word and remain in Him. 

    Do you think God brings peace only to your surroundings and not to you? Not only can He calm stormy seas with a single word, "Peace", but the storm in our hearts is overridden by His Peace. 

    From Romans to Revelations the peace of God is sent to the churches/individuals to whom the letter is written. And when we understand that we are the church, the letter is written to us, as well. 

    Even in these last hours before Christ returns to get His bride, we encourage you to have His peace present within you. For God has placed a call on each person to enter into His Word, His Joy and His service. There we will know His Peace, for we will know Christ.

JEHOVAH-SHALOM

THE LORD MY PEACE

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

In other words, what have to fear when our hearts are aligned with God's? Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." 

Isaiah 9:6 says Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Romans 5:1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our LORD Jesus Christ."

I have this peace. I have peace with God through Jesus Christ my LORD because I believe that He Is and that God sent Him to die on the cross in my place and raised Him from the dead, showing Christ to be God's Promise of Salvation to all men everywhere. 

Getting this peace is easy. Let us pray:

Lord Jesus, I believe that You are God's only begotten Son, that You died on the cross and rose from the dead for me. I recognize that I have sinned against You, against Your Word, and repent of all my wicked ways. Oh God, forgive my wretchedness! Cleanse my heart, wash me clean and make me wholly holy unto You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I might be able to live daily in You, live in obedience to Your Word. Remember me, O LORD.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
