WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR PEACE

 

 

Finding peace in God

Finding peace in you

That’s all I know

That’s all I want to do

 

Where do you try

To find your peace

Is it in money

Is it in sex

Is it in

The miracles of science

If it is

You are going to be looking for a long time

 

Finding peace in God

Finding peace in you

That’s all I know

That’s all I want to do

 

You can’t find peace in money

You can’t find peace in sex

You can’t find peace

In drugs, alcohol or pornography

You can’t find peace in anything else in this world

 

You can only find peace in God

And by loving and forgiving others

And in order to do this

You must look deep inside of you

            And your lips from speaking lies

            Turn from evil and do good

            Seek PEACE and pursue it”                                                             Psalm 34:13-14

 

           “PEACE I leave with you

            My Peace I give to you

            I do not give to you

            As the world gives

            Do NOT let your hearts be troubled

            And do NOT be afraid”                                                                       John 14:27

 

            “And the PEACE of God

NOT CARRYING IT ALONE=OUR CROSSES!

 

 

 

 

 

NOT CARRYING IT ALONE!

( OUR CROSSES)

 

JESUS CARRIED his cross=up Calvary hill=and

ALL ALONE=but we ALL=have crosses too=all KINDS

OF CROSSES

 

Health crosses=Financial crosses=and RELATIONSHIP

Crosses=but we are NOT ALL ALONE!=for our Jesus WALKS

With us=”WHO do you say=that I am?”                                                                                    Mark 8:29

 

We are to=PICK UP our crosses=in this life=and to follow him=

JUST like he told us to do=”Then he called the crowd to him=along

With his disciples=and said=”Whoever wants to be my disciple=must

Deny themselves=and take UP THEIR CROSS=and follow me”                                        Mark 8:34

 

Jesus is telling us=TWO THINGS=with this statement=First of all=

He is foreshadowing his own death=ON THE CROSS=and he is telling us=

To be his followers=COMES AT A COST=and secondly he is telling us

“NOT TO WORRY=that you will NOT be all alone=I will be WITH YOU”=He

Tells us=”I will walk with you”=NOT  CARRYING IT ALL ALONE=I am with you

 

“I keep my eyes=ALWAYS on the Lord=With him at my right hand=I

Will not be shaken”                                                                                                                          Psalm 16:8

 

“Rejoice in the Lord=ALWAYS=I will say it again=Rejoice!”                                                         Philippians 4:4

 

“But in your hearts=Revere Christ as Lord=ALWAYS be prepared to

Give an answer=to EVERYONE=who asks you to give the reason for YOUR HOPE”             1 Peter 3:15

 

The reason=FOR MY HOPE=is that I am=NOT WALKING ALONE!=Not

Carrying this large heavy cross=all by myself=CARRYING my crosses with

The HELP of the Lord Jesus=and his Father=the Holy Father God=BOTH walk

With me=He walks with us=HELPING us=Carry these crosses=He is with us

ALWAYS!

 

“The Lord is a refuge=for the oppressed=a stronghold in TIMES of trouble”                           Psalm 9:9

 

“MY TIMES=are in your hands=Deliver me from the hands of my enemies=

From those who pursue me”                                                                                                                 Psalm 31:15

 

“But what about you?=he asked=’who do say=that is am?’=

Peter answered=’You are THE MESSIAH’=and Jesus warned them

NOT to tell anyone=about him”                                                                                                      Mark 8:29-30

 

No wonder=we are to FORGIVE 70X7=No wonder we=are to

LOVE INFINITELY=No wonder=we are=NOT CARRYING OUR CROSSES

ALONE!=for we are walking with the KING=NOT CARRYING OUR CROSSES

ALL ALONE!=but with the one who has ALREADY DONE IT

 

Walking with Jesus Christ=and HIS ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD=the HOLY

Father of us all=In the name of the LORD JESUS CHIST=and his FOREVER

LIVING and loving Holy Father God!

LET GOD TAKE OVER

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 19^th, 2012

 

 

LET GOD TAKE OVER

 

 

When you are

Facing a challenge

One you can never meet

A word of advice

Do all you can

Then step aside

And let God take over

Otherwise

You will never succeed

 

Let God take over

Let him move

In people’s hearts

Let God take over

Let him move

In people’s souls

Step aside

And just

Let God take over

 

It takes faith

To step aside

It takes belief in God

 

But to succeed

You must

Let God take over

Let God take over

KEEP THE LOVE FLOWING=IT IS the way=OF THE CROSS

 

 

 

 

 

 

KEEP THE LOVE FLOWING

(It is=the WAY=of the CROSS)

 

The CROSS of Christ-the cross of Jesus=for us=is the WAY                                          

TO SALVATION=it is the CAUSE for our HOPE=the SOURCE=

But it is so easy=TO TAKE it for granted=THE CROSS is the reason

“And being found=In appearance as a man=He humbled himself=

By becoming obedient to death=even death ON A CROSS”                                                       Philippians 2:8

We see the CROSS EVERYWHERE=in steeples=on CHAINS around

Our necks=and on altars=it is so EASY=to take it=for granted

 

We forget=that there was a man hanging there=HIS LOVE=crying out

For all of humanity=He is OUR EXAMPLE=it is UP to us=to KEEP
THE LOVE FLOWING=Like a river=to do it=like a RIVER of Jesus’ love

It is=THE WAY OF THE CROSS=KEEP THE LOVE FLOWING!

 

“So I have come down=to rescue them=from the hand  of

The Egyptians=and to bring them=Up out of that land=to a

Good and spacious land=FLOWING with milk and honey=the

Home of…….”                                                                                                                                                Exodus 3:8

 

THE CROSS=was the gruesome reality of Christ=We FORGET

Jesus did it just for us=for you and ME=IF we are the followers

Of Christ=the cross is SOMETIMES=our gruesome reality too=We

NEED to love=IN spite of the CROSS=We need to keep that

RIVER of love FLOWING=even is spite of our CROSSES

 

“Then he said to them’=’Whoever wants to be my disciple=Must

Deny themselves=and take up their CROSS daily=and follow me’”                                       Luke 9:23

 

“For Christ did=not send me= to baptize=but to preach the

Gospel=not with wisdom and eloquence=lest the CROSS of Christ=

Be emptied of its power”                                                                                                                     1 Corinthians 1:17

 

“May I never boast=except IN THE CROSS=of the Lord Jesus Christ=

Through which the world=has been crucified to me=and I to the world”                           Galatians 6:14

 

Yes=Jesus EMPTIED himself of everything=his CROSS=his tears

Has become a river of love=for all of us=FOR OUR SALVATION

 

May each of us=with EVERY little cross=that we FACE in this life=

KEEP THE LOVE FLOWING=just as Jesus’ life did=it is IN the love

That we show=the POWER OF GOD=It is OVERCOMING our crosses=

That Christ’s love and our love=flow through=to the world=It is

THE POWER=of the Holy Father God

 

“You see=at just the right time=WHEN we were still POWERLESS

CHRIST died for the powerless”                                                                                                             Romans 5:6

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY=we never take you=or the CROSS of Jesus

For granted=and we let you=FLOW OUT OF US==for all

Of time=KEEP THE LOVE FLOWING!=it is=the way=OF THE CROSS

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=OF our ever LOVING=ever living=ever

VICTORIOUS=over the cross=Holy Father God!

We get so bogged down

In our problems

So bogged down

In our own wants and needs

We forget

Other people have problems

Other people have

Wants and needs too

 

All life is about

Is having a heart

To share our life and love

With others too

 

Have a heart

Ps        Jesus ALWAYS had a great love of children

           

           “Unless you change and become like little children

            You will never enter into the kingdom of heaven

            Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child

            Is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven

 

            And whoever welcomes a little child like this

            In my name –welcomes me

 

            But if anyone causes one of these little ones to sin

            It would be better for him to have a large millstone

            Around his neck and to be drowned

            In the depths of the sea”                                   Matthew 18:3-4

 

My mother and father always loved all children

And loved their own children and grandchildren

With an unconditional love

I wish ALL children could experience the love

That they had for us

GOD'S WISDOM=AND MAN'S FOOLISHNESS

 

 

 

 

 

 

GOD’S WISDOM=AND MAN’S FOOLISHNESS

 

Today=we get A LESSON FROM Jesus=from HIS WISDOM

Along with an instruction=GOD’S WISDOM is so much

FURTHER ALONG=than man’s foolishness

 

Today we SEE=how Jesus calls the fishermen=who are FISHING

And not catching anything=Jesus tells them=to give it=ONE MORE TRY

Can’t you just see=Peter ROLLING HIS EYES=and saying=”OK Jesus=

But we already tried”=as IF to humor Jesus+Peter and his 3 apostle

FISHERMEN=do give it one more try=and lo and BEHOLD=they CATCH

So many fish=the boat BEGINS to sink=It takes ALL of them

To bring the CATCH=into the boat=GOD’S WISDOM=and MAN’S 

FOOLISHNESS=”…….. the WISDOM of this world=is FOOLISHNESS=in the eyes

Of God……..”                                                                                                                                          1 Corinthians 3:19

 

The boat becomes SO FULL=that they begin to sink=and Peter falls                        

To his KNEES and says=”Go away from me Lord=for I am A SINFUL MAN”            Luke 5:8

Jesus simply says=”Don’t be afraid=from now on=you will FISH

FOR PEOPLE”                                                                                                                                                Luke 5:10

GOD’S WISDOM=AND MAN’S FOOLISHNESS=and isn’t that the way

IT is with us my friends=MY DEAR brothers and sister=WE think

We know better than God

 

We TRY AND TRY=to do things on our own=without the Lord=but

WHEN we get the Lord in our corner=and RELY on his strength=things

Begin to TURN our way=With The HOLY FATHER GOD and Jesus=

Things begin to happen=GOD’S WISDOM=and MAN’S FOOLISHNESS!

 

“God gave Solomon WISDOM=and very great insight=and a breadth of understanding

As measureless=as the sand on the seashore=SOLOMON’S WISDOM

Was greater than=THE WISDOM=of all the people of the EAST=and greater

Than all the Wisdom of Egypt”                                                                                                         1 Kings 4:29-30

 

“She speaks WITH WISDOM=and faithful instruction is on

Her tongue”                                                                                                                                           Proverbs 4:26

 

“But God made the earth=by his power=He founded the world

BY HIS WISDOM=and stretched out the heavens=by his understanding”                      Jeremiah 10:12

 

I WONDER=if Peter felt foolish=after Jesus taught hem=HOW to catch

So many fish=ALONG with Andrew-James-and John=did they FEEL
Foolish and “SINFUL” Like we sometimes do?=Their eyes were OPENED=

They began to UNDERSTAND=that Jesus was not just=a NORMAL MAN

He was FROM GOD=GOD’S WISDOM=and MAN’S FOOLISHNESS!

 

“But WISDOM is proved=right by her deeds”                                                                            Matthew 11:19

 

“And Jesus=grew IN WISDOM=and stature=and in favor

With God and man”                                                                                                                         Luke 2:52

 

“If any of you=lacks WISDOM=You should ask God=who

Gives generously to all=without finding fault=and it will be=GIVEN

TO YOU”                                                                                                                                                      James 1:5

 

I NEVER=wonder about the WISDOM of Jesus=or that of our

Holy Father God=They know BETTER=than you and me=They KNEW

BETTER=than the early apostles=and all the SAINTS down through history

 

Our God=our Jesus=ask us=to look at things differently=to take on

A NEW PERSPECTIVE=WE are a part of the world=But we are NEVER

Of the world=It is up to us=to LIVE OFF OF GOD’S WISDOM=

GOD’S WISDOM=not man’s wisdom

 

The Christian world view=MAY look illogical and RISKY=but it is

GOD’S WISDOM that prevails=it is GOD’S WISDOM=that dances

With joy=GOD’S WISDOM=not man’s wisdom!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever loving=EVER LIVING=

EVER WISE=Holy Father God!

With love
