Well Loves......Holy Spirit's been in my Ear the last few days regarding folk's INNER PEACE......folk's SOUL PEACE!
And because I'm HIS and I'm Obedient, I've been PRAYING mightily for some of You and Your INNER PEACE. The kind of PEACE that breaks the negative yolks of anger, resentment, bitterness, worry, unforgiveness, meanness, spiteful/vindictive spirit, fear, doubt, low self-esteem, lack of joy, lack of self-discipline, unbelief, living life as a pretender, living life with a hardened heart toward God, jealousy, pride, etc.
Wheweee, that's some kind of Prayer List. But to be honest, there are many walking around Right Now, Right This Second with their All-Is-Well-Hallelujah! Christian Mask on when in reality their Soul......their INNER PEACE is alllllll jacked up! And Loves, my soul aches...it hurts when I see some of our Brothers and Sisters walkin out life this way!!!!
And how can I be so forth-right and sure of this you ask?!? Cuz Family, I know EXACTLY what it looks like. That used to be ME! Been There. Done That. Got the T-shirt!!! I was fabricating a Life of Peace when in reality, I was lacking INNER PEACE! Not a fun way to live and if Not for the GRACE of God, I would have missed out on God's Divine Purpose for Mona...the very *Reason* He created Me! God cannot live and dwell and abide and speak to a Soul when it's in a constant state of unrest.....when it's lacking INNER PEACE. And as I learned first-hand, YOU CAN FOOL OTHER FOLKS BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL GOD.
So today...Holy Spirit's message is to PLEASE, PLEASE seek PEACE in your Life. Seek INNER PEACE deep in your soul. And Loves, if you're struggling to get to this sacred place of INNER PEACE due to the laundry list of unlovely, under-belly stuff listed above, Holy Spirit's loving suggestion? Reach out to someone for Prayer....a consistent Prayer Partner. Join a Prayer Line that focuses on PEACE. Google "Scriptures on Peace" and Read your Bible, get into His Word. Sit quietly with Jesus and let Him speak comfort and PEACE to your Soul. Humbly and Honestly ask the Lord for Forgiveness and Repent of the "stuff" (and you know what "stuff" I'm talkin 'bout) that keeps your soul void of Peace. Distance yourself from toxic/negative folks. Create a "Songs of PEACE" PlayList to chill-lax to. Take a Yoga Class. Schedule a time with your Pastor, Priest or Rabbi to talk about your feelings. Find a Genuine, Trust-worthy friend or confidant (who's NOT a Gossip) to confide in/share with. If possible, do a **Real Talk Session** with Family, your spouse or significant other. EMAIL ME at wincty@aol.com...I will Pray with You and I will Help You because I Love You!
As most of us Word Abiders know (and I'm paraphrasing)......."Our God is NOT the author of Confusion but of Peace." (1 Corinthians 14:33). So this is the Last Place HE wants Us to Live....this is the Last Way HE wants Us to Walk Out Our Lives. Family, Our Daddy God has Soooooo MUCH for Us to Experience and Do as we walk out the Gift of Life He gave to Us. He wants to Bless Us so we can be a Blessing. He wants Us to reflect the Image of Jesus and be His Light in the Darkness to help others. He wants Us to take our Imperfect selves and be living, breathing Testimonies of His Goodness, Mercy and Love! And we can't Do or Be ALL He's got for Us to Do and Be if we're lacking INNER PEACE.
So Loves, as I close out our time together today, I'm leaving you with: 1) Three *PEACE* Scriptures to get you started and ride shotgun (insert your Name to make them Personal); 2) A Scripture to Pray Over You; 3) A Soaking Song to give you PEACE (Love the Santana-esque Guitar Solo!!). AND I encourage You to turn off the TV; shut down the iPad, Laptop, Phone, Tablet; stop the mindless, unproductive busyness; remove the annoying distractions; silence the Noise and **BE STILL**.........and seek to find some INNER PEACE via Holy Spirit's suggestions above. I can PROMISE You as a one who's Been There. Done That and Got the T-shirt!! It's the ONLY way to Truly Live an Awesome-sauce Life of INNER PEACE and Live Out Your God-Ordained, Divine Purpose! #PureFreedom!!
"And the Peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7, JUB)
"You will keep him in perfect Peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." (Isaiah 26:3, NKJV)
"Keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you Peace and prosperity." (Proverbs 3:1-2, NIV)
"My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit - not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength - that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plum the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:17-19, MSG)
Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!
