THE PEACE OF GOD PART 1
2 Timothy 4:16-17
16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Psalm 138:3
3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
Revelation 3:8
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
This morning I sat in church and bemoaned to the Father how my life has been a waste and a nightmarish dream of great consequence before His people. Not once did I thank Him for blessing me, for waking me up today, for putting breath in my lungs, or for preserving the lives of my loved ones who look to this broken vessel for deliverance in Yahusha’s name. God, in all of His might, power, and wrath, spared me for being a weak, self-indulgent, agnostic bastard this morning. He's blessed you and me with the power to overcome every attack of the enemy. I attribute my attitude this morning to my lifelong frustration with wanting to live instead of just existing. Yahusha says:
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
You cannot operate in a selfless demeanor with a self-centered nature. God operates on a higher level of spiritual awareness that we as mortals can't begin to walk in without taking up the mantle, cross, or tree that Yahusha bore. Don't be confused; Yahusha isn't double-minded or conflicting in His message of salvation. We walk in circles, unable to see 2ft beyond our noses without smelling Bull Creek or a landfill full of horse manure. Satan is our adversary who does not want you to see or live in the Most High's Kingdom or the anointing that separates us from Satan himself. Lucifer was originally the “Angel of Light” or “Morning Star,” a high-ranking, beautiful, and powerful archangel created by God, responsible for bringing divine light and wisdom to the saints and the other angels. He no longer has that authority, and he will try anything in his power to keep you from attaining what once was his. Before passing judgment on me, Satan, Lucifer, or trump, bombed Nigeria on Christmas Day. This boy is nuts. If he waited to see or even thought the Father would awaken the dead before the clock struck 12, he doesn’t understand the Father or the Son. Satan attacked me over half a century ago at toddler age; it was trump; I'm now 61. At ages 12 and 14 and again at the age of 16, I almost killed myself. I didn't understand the Spirit the Most High placed within us that people used underhanded and sometimes violent, threatening behaviors to get a refill when their wells ran dry. Satan used people I called friends ensuring the truth of the Most High was never revealed to me; the messenger himself. I don't blame those who were then children or the teachers who watched the saddest clown show starring Pinhead X played out in 3D. Some teachers suffered with a guilty conscience as I suffered physical and mental torment. God meant for me to suffer; it brought Him glory but Yisrael much misery. I fight many of the same devils you war against. Lucifer wants us to quit, give up, decreased, dead, DOA, burning in hell. On this day and afterward, you will have to make up your mind if you're living for Yahusha or Darth Vader. Warring against the enemy makes one weary. Warring against the Most High is futile. He will raise a standard after we've been tried in the furnace: {1 Peter 1:6-7 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ}. At the appearing of Yahusha Hamashiach. No matter how hard you think you may have it, someone else had or is enduring worse. Be humble in your suffering. People may pretend not to notice your current state, but your Father, who art in heaven, is fully aware of your tribulation. {Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled}. In all of Job’s suffering and grievances, he never lost everlasting faith in the Father, yet he lost everything that was temporal except his first 10 children; their souls are eternal. Continue—
