Download or read book Peace Be Still John 14 27 written by Unknown Hebrew and published by Unknown Hebrew. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first words that YAHUSHUA spoke after the resurrection according to John 20:19 were, Shalom or Peace be unto you. YAHUSHUA said, "...Shalom...." He was making a statement of fact, and the ambiance in the room changed. Why did YAHUSHUA choose these words to speak? The disciples were in fear of the religious leaders; however, once they saw Him, they knew the "peace," the "shalom" that he had just proclaimed was stronger than their fear. "Peace" must be essential because it was the first thing YAHUSHUA said after rising from the dead. Similarly, YAHUSHUA commanded "peace" to the storm on the Sea of Galilee, and it was peace He spoke to His disciples in that room. In Hebrew, the word " Peace" is "Shalom," an absence of chaos or war; it is completeness, tranquility. YAHUSHUA displayed the meaning of peace when he commanded the winds and the waves to obey Him. In Mark 4:39, it reads, " And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." It is precisely what happened in the upper room when YAHUSHUA appeared amid his disciples. He told His disciples to be calm; stop all the fear and chaos. Be at peace. The word "Shalom" is used for "Peace" 209 times in the Scriptures, and when it is used, it is used in terms of removing fear. Paul understood "shalom," when he wrote to the temple in Rome. Romans 10:15 reads, "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace....” In Matthew 5:9, YAHUSHUA says, "Blessed are the for they shall be called the children of ELOHIM." The "peace" that YAHUSHUA came to provide for us is not a "peace" that this world can have because the world is in darkness. YAHUSHUA said it like this, in John 16:33, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." YAHUSHUA is telling us that HaShatan will try to arouse us with the cares of this world, but do not let the fear that we will go through deter us. Zechariah, prophesied YAHUSHUA would bring light into darkness and provide a way to guide our feet into the way of peace. Look at how Paul describes it in Ephesians 6:15, here he is talking about the armor of ELOHIM; it reads, "And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace." To put it another way, walk in the way of peace. Walk in the peace of ELOHIM. Bring to mind John 14:27; it said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Also, in Matthew 10:13, it reads, "And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you." Isaiah 26:3 tells us, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee..." If our mind is stayed on ELOHIM because we trust in ELOHIM, the "peace" of ELOHIM is the "peace" that passes all understanding. As we gain knowledge and understanding of "peace," we will discover why YAHUSHUA said in Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the for they shall be called the children of ELOHIM." Having "peace" in a world that is not His, walking in "shalom," and in the fruits of the Spirit, should be our ultimate goal. Throughout the Bible, we are encouraged to have "peace." How do we find "peace?" Why are we lacking "shalom?" Click the buy now button now, and enjoy your journey into Shalom.

Download or read book The Pursuit of Peace written by Betsy E. Caram and published by Zion Christian Publishers. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in a time of increasing confusion and turmoil. People in the world are full of insecurity; they are troubled, lonely, and full of self-doubt. In the midst of such uncertainty, peace is a sacred treasure. Yet the sad truth is that many people, and this includes many Christians, have never enjoyed the blessings of true peace. Peace seems illusive and out of reach, and very difficult to maintain in our daily lives. God’s Word, however, encourages those who belong to Him to diligently “seek peace and pursue it” (Ps 34:14). This divine directive is meant to stir us up. If we truly desire to live a victorious Christian life, we cannot just be satisfied with wishing or yearning for peace. Instead, we must enthusiastically pursue it, and when we find it, we must grab hold of it and not let it go. For all who seek an inner calm from the fears and frustrations of life, it is our prayer that this book will help you in your personal pursuit of peace. Through Jesus Christ, we have been promised “abundant life” (Jn. 10:10). Still, many Christians cling to the wrong belief that abundant life is only possible when we reach heaven. However, there are keys in God’s precious Word—that when unlocked and received within our spirit—will bring us to that place of peace we are longing for in this life. These keys, which are established for us in “The Pursuit of Peace,” will enable us to “Win the War Within” as we conquer our insecurities through the wonderful, life-changing Word of God!

Book excerpt: The heartwarming tale of an irrepressible donkey who needed a home—and forever changed a family. Rachel Anne Ridge was at the end of her rope. The economy had crashed, taking her formerly thriving business along with it. She had been a successful artist, doing work she loved, but now she felt like a failure. How would her family pay their bills? What would the future hold? If only God would somehow let them know that everything was going to be all right . . . and then Flash the donkey showed up. If there is ever a good time to discover a wounded, frightened, bedraggled donkey standing in your driveway, this wasn’t it. The local sheriff dismissed Flash as “worthless.” But Rachel didn’t believe that, and she couldn’t turn him away. She brought Flash into her struggling family during their darkest hour—and he turned out to be the very thing they needed most. Flash is the true story of their adventures together in learning to love and trust; breaking down whatever fences stood in their way; and finding the strength, confidence, and faith to carry on. Prepare to fall in love with Flash: a quirky, unlikely hero with gigantic ears, a deafening bray, a personality as big as Texas, and a story you’ll never forget.

Book excerpt: Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side […] a conquest of the Most High God. – A. W. Tozer With words like these, Tozer shakes the soul. He crumbles the lies we believe and calls us to the more sure way. In these pages, Tozer says what it means to truly be saved. It is not merely to assent to Jesus and go on our same old way, but to be conquered by the Almighty God and invaded by His Spirit. A saved person is a transformed person.

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
