Peace is a measure of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It indeed shouts out loud if Jesus Christ is dwelling in you or not.
Peace – A Measure of Your Relationship with Jesus Christ
What is Peace?
Peace is not a thing; Peace is a Person. Peace is Jesus Christ.
In the same manner the Word of God moves from the Holy of Holies, to the Holy Place and radiates to the outer Court, so does Peace in a human; from the spirit, to the Soul, then radiates to the outside. See how the word of God moves in a person
There are 3 levels of peace;
- Spirit peace – Peace with God
- Soul peace – inner peace; peace in oneself
- Peace with others and His creation (Body reflects to the outside what is inside)
The first step to having peace is being at peace with God. This is achieved by having a personal relationship with Jesus, by Him dwelling in you, thus His Spirit, the Holy Spirit dwells in you. By this then, you receive peace.
Remember one fruit of the Holy Spirit is Peace thus peace and all other fruits of the Holy Spirit are one – go hand in hand.
When you are at peace spiritually, that radiates to the soul; the result is a peaceful soul, inner peace. This peace is not depended on what happens outside but spiritually depended; only depended on your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Why do people lack inner peace, peace with one self, peace in their souls? Because spiritually, there is a barrier between them and Jesus Christ.
When you have peace in your soul, inner peace, that peace radiates to the outside. Thus entire God’s creation comes at peace with you except the enemy his vessels and everything he has defiled.
When you are at peace with God, even animals, all of them, both wild and domestic are at peace with you. Reason lions couldn’t touch Joseph but instead protected him. (We will study this in depth).
Because you have peace inside you radiating to the outside, you automatically become a peacemaker.
A peacemaker is a person who wherever s/he is creates peace. Being a peacemaker is a character of Christ Jesus reason it is written,
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God (Mt 5:9)
How do you know you are a child of God? By being a peacemaker.
Today, people call themselves children of God, profess Jesus, can quote Bible verses, can claim to be righteous and holy, etc, but they are not peacemakers. Whose children are these? They are of the enemy.
Our enemy is a thief – he steals. The evil spirit is a spirit of a thief whose work is to steal. The work of Satan vessels is to steal peace, steal your peace. They are a complete opposite of the Holy Spirit and children of God.
They love going around disturbing peace, creating conflicts, wars, fights, love arguments, confrontations, controversies, abuses, etc, – they are children of the enemy
They are just radiating to the outside what they have inside – they do not have peace in themselves thus thieves of peace.
They go from person to person, home to home, place to place, etc, trying to steal peace, creating war fights foolish arguments abusing, etc, – flee from search, do not be a company. They are vessels of the enemy.
Today, the internet, social media is their platform – a platform to steal others peace, a platform to perpetuate the lack of peace they have inside themselves.
People create a fallacious peace which is depended on the outside, on what happens outside or from the outside – it is a lie of the enemy. Peace is depended on your personal relationship with Jesus Christ and it has nothing to do with what happens outside.
It is the Spiritual that creates the physical. The physical never creates the spiritual. Everything physical that tries to create the spiritual, is a lie. Everything is spiritual.
Peace in a family is all depended on the people’s personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Peace inside a nation or a country is depended on the people’s relationship with Jesus Christ. The more the people seek Jesus Christ truly, the more peace in the country. The more the people are hypocrites and heathens, the more the lack of peace. This does not mean that from the outside, the enemy does not try to steal this peace.
Examples;
The Jews are children of God. Israel is a peaceful nation because the Jews will never fight amongst themselves. All Israel thieves of peace come from outside.
In a country of heathens and hypocrites, there is no peace – the people of that nation fight amongst themselves.
A good example is Kenya. Because of hypocrisy they fight amongst themselves e.g. be it in the name of ethic tribes, etc.
South Africa too – because of hypocrisy, they have xenophobia attacks, fighting amongst themselves – no peace.
USA for many years has been subtracting Jesus Christ from everything, reason today they are in a self-destruction mode; creating wars and fights amongst themselves. They have become enemies to themselves.
Fights divisions amongst a people of a nation is a sure sign that the people relationship with Jesus is not right and for this reason they cannot have peace amongst themselves.
Look at all Israel enemies. Inside themselves they have no peace and because of them having no peace, they radiate that to the outside – they go to Israel try steal peace. They want Israel to be as unpeaceful as them. That person you see going around not being a peacemaker is because s/he does not have peace within him/herself.
Peace and prosperity go hand in hand. Peace and blessings go hand in hand. A peacemaker is a prosperous blessed person. Enemy of peace is a cursed poor person.
Look at nations where the people are not at peace amongst themselves – you will not see God blessings or prosperity. But look at a country where citizens of that nation are at peace amongst themselves – you will see blessings and prosperity.
And so it is with humans. Look at that person whose work is to steal peace – you will see curses and poverty. But look at that peacemaker and see blessings and prosperity.
If you are not going to a person to create peace – do not go
If you are not going to a place to create peace – do not go
If you are not going to a person’s home, social media platform, etc, to create peace – do not go
Jesus is Coming

Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand
