Living in the Peace of God

I want to give you a few principles that will help you live in the peace of God, This Holiday Season!
Isaiah 48:18 instructs us to heed the commandments of the Lord so that our peace will be like a river.
Let’s look at the few principles that will help us stay in perfect peace when we are faced with difficult circumstances.

God will keep us in perfect peace when our minds are continually resting upon the Lord. (Isaiah 26:3). We need to be aware of the Lord’s presence and His providence in every situation of life by meditating on His Word and communing with Him daily.
Renew your mind with God’s Word (Philippians 2:5). As we renew our minds continually in the Word of God, we will take on the perfect mind of Christ.
Our minds play a crucial part in our ability to live in the peace of God. If the mind is negative and fearful, there will be no peace.
“My peace I give to you…let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27). In this Scripture we are presented with a choice whether to allow our hearts to be in turmoil and fearful.
In Colossians 3:15 Paul says to let peace rule in your hearts. Only you can decide to allow the peace of God to rule and reign in your heart.
Know this: Fear is a spirit, and it is not from God! By refusing to worry, we can drive out the spirit of fear and heave peace ruling and reigning in our lives.
We must learn how-to live-in peace with one another and especially with our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 13:11 says, “…. Be of good comfort, be of one mind (being of one mind concerning the things of God), live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”
As we fellowship together in one mind (the mind of Christ) and in one accord, we will live in peace and unity together as the family of God.
Today, the choice is ours. We can choose to live a life with tormented minds and troubled hearts. We can choose to live in strife and division with other believers.
Or we can choose to obey the Word of God and live in the peace of God.
Here are the keys:
Accept the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ
Refuse to allow the devil to steal your peace
Refuse to allow circumstances and other people to steal your peace.
Cast down vain imaginations, worries and fears and set your mind steadfastly on the Word of God and on serving Him.
Allow the peace of God to be manifested in your life like a mighty river.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report. If there is any virtue and if there Is anything praiseworthy meditate on these things.”
