“Holy in
Peace”
Try to live in
peace with everyone, and seek to
live a clean
and holy life, for those who are not
holy will not
see the Lord. (NLT)
Trying to live peacefully
with a world that has never known peace is a difficult task to perform, even
for the most peace-loving people. Being
asked to live in peace with a world filled with angry people is a hard pill to
swallow for even the most kind and loving person there is. And trying to live a righteous life in the
midst of all kinds of evil is a very dangerous mission, because we not only
live in a world that hates the very Name of Jesus Christ, but it also hates
anyone or anything that is associated with Him.
We live in a world blinded from knowing the Truth about who the Living
God is—a world that denies His deity and Truth so it can continue living in the
darkness of Satan’s sinful pleasures. It
is a difficult challenge to live in the Light of God's Truth, and it cannot be
done successfully without the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us and
surrounding us with His protection, wisdom, and strength. It takes the Power of God to pull this off,
and pull it off we must, because the Lord commissions us to live in the Light
so the world will see and know that the Lord is God, that we belong to Him, and
His will, will be done.
If God's children are to
defend the absolute Truth that the Lord God is sovereign, righteous, and in
control of this out of control world, we must know who we are fighting for, who
we are fighting against and why we are fighting in the first place. We must be fully vested in God's Plan for man
and we must stand steadfast and faithfully in the face of evil that surrounds
us every day—a mission that requires the infinite Power of God backing us
up. Every living soul needs the only
Savior this world has. Every breathing
person needs Jesus, because without Him, there can be no peace. Without the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as
the foundation for your life, the dark and evil powers from the depths of Hell
will swallow you up in a heartbeat and forever separate you from the glory of
God!
A Whisper of Hope
You can do anything, My child...when you do it in Me. I Am the Lord your God and with Me you can
escape your bondage to sin and defeat the power of death. With Me there is peace and godliness. When you live in Me there is eternal life
with Me.

Timothy 1:9
It is God who
saved us and chose us to live a holy life.
He did this not because we deserved
it, but because
that was His plan long before the world began—to
show His love
and kindness to us through Christ Jesus.
(NLT)
Turn away from evil and do good.
Work hard at living in peace with others.
(Psalm 34:14)
