THE ROUTE TO PEACE

You shall go out with joy and be led forth with PEACE” (Isa.55:12).

There is a route to peace: “You shall go out with joy and be led forth with PEACE” (Isa.55:12). The promise of peace is one thing; the possession of peace is another.

Knowledge is the key that turns God’s promises into possession:

Woe unto you, lawyers! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered (Luke 11:52).

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33).

It takes knowing “these things” which the Lord Jesus has spoken unto YOU, believing and acting on them, for you to become a possessor of peace indeed.

Your knowledge of God’s covenant promises is your access into the experience of God’s divine nature of life and peace. You can experience the reality of peace in your everyday living – in your sleep, safety, sure dwelling and peaceable habitation (Ps.4:8; Is.32:15-18).

Here are some promises of peace in the scriptures:

• Psalm 4:8 – Peaceful sleep
• Psalm 29:11 – the Blessing of Peace
• Psalm 119:165 – Great Peace for Word lovers
• Isaiah 26:3 – Perfect Peace
• Isaiah 32:15-18 – Peace, the work of righteousness
• Isaiah 48:18 – Peace as a river…
• John 14:27 – My Peace I give unto you…
• Galatians 5:22 – the fruit of the spirit…

Never forget that PEACE is a divine gift, not a human attainment:

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts (Haggai 2:9)

PEACE I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27).
