"I leave the gift of peace with you--my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts--instead, be courageous!" (John 14:27) These are the same words Yehweh spoke to Joshua as he began taking the promised land for Israel! (read Joshua 1:8-9) As laid down lovers of Yeshua, we have peace in the chaos and trouble that abounds around us because we belong to a loving, merciful God! We possess a hope and the revelation of the Kingdom to share with others who are lost and searching for an answer in this hour. Our glorious destiny, from Paul's letter to the Romans, states he is convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us. The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God's glorious sons and daughters! Read Romans 8:18-30...What a time to be living!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
