The Bible teaches we can have peace no matter what happens.
- John 16:33, NKJV; Ephesians 2:14, NKJV; John 14:27, NKJV; 2 Thessalonians 3:16, TLB
- We always have to believe the Word over the World.
- We have to know one of the main reasons we lose our peace or give our peace away is lack of patience.
- We hurry because we are impatient—we are impatient because we lack trust—when we lack trust we lose our PEACE.
- We have to know God wants to teach us patience through our problems. (Romans 5:1-5, NKJV)
- Spiritual peace with God can only come through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Grace gives us the power to do whatever God calls us to do and do it with joy!
- Hope is the confident expectation of a positive future in spite of our present circumstances.
- Grace and hope allow us to have peace that brings honor and glory to God in any and all situations.
- God’s will for our life is more about behavior change where we live, work, and go to school. (Romans 5:3, AMP)
- God wants us Thriving not simply Surviving.
- Triumph over our Troubles.
- Lack of patience cause us to lose our peace – God wants us to learn to practice patience
- Spiritual growth requires both problems and patience.
- Instead of learning to practice patience which leads to peace, we often run from our problems.
- Until we learn to practice patience we will keep having the same problems.
- Remember God is more interested in building character than He is our comfort. (Romans 5:4-5, AMP)
- He wants us to live with a joyful confidence knowing He is working all things for good.
- Peace is an inward confidence God is doing what is good and right inspite of how we might feel.
