Perfect Peace Isaiah 20-26

“PERFECT PEACE”
““You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”
(Isaiah 26:3).
God doesn’t speak with his tongue in his cheek, whatever he says, he means it.
He is not a joker with a little puzzle for us to solve.
No! God speaks to us in clear terms.
We will have no excuse to say that “OH! I thought He said unstable peace”
No! His words declares clearly “You will keep Him in Perfect Peace…” (Isaiah 26:3).
I have peace in my heart, so much peace, i could careless what the enemy is doing in this
world.
the devil is a defeated foe, we no longer worry about his tricks,
we have chosen to keep our minds stayed on Christ and not on the enemy.
Trust and Peace goes hand in hand, it can be said
“You can’t be at peace
with someone that you can’t trust.”
Every time they show up, some kind of unrest starts crawling up your mind.
Lets take a closer look at our verse again.
““You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”
(Isaiah 26:3).
Notice: There are three profound phrases in this statement.
First, THE OUTCOME
(“You will keep him in perfect peace,…)
Second, THE ACTION
(whose mind is stayed on You)
Third, THE REASON
(because he trusts in You.”)
Notice how God talks, He first shows THE OUTCOME
then he requires THE ACTION from you
and finally gives you THE REASON which is the answer to WHY.
We have many believers coming up with so many questions,
Why this? Why that? Why !!!.
Everything in their life seems to fall on the question WHY?
The lazy call the future ”the impossible,” and the fearful refer to it as “the unknown.” The
peaceful see it as a challenge.
The path to a life full of peace does not rely on the question WHY but on THE REASON.
My heart is heavy and full of passion for the body of Christ.
We should never live again one more second void of peace in our daily life.
You may say “But What is he talking about?
Is he talking about THE REASON why we have these problems?
should we be comforted by the reasons???
as though God is working out something good for us thru the turmoils.
No!!! A thousand times No. That’s not what am talking about.
God did not need a storm to show his disciples that Jesus could walk on the waters.
He doesn’t need a plague to show Moses how healing comes from Him.
He doesn’t need the red sea to prove that He is the Almighty.
God doesn’t need a thing in the world to prove himself!!!
If God does anything
it’s not for his authenticity
but for ours
He is authentic…am I, are you?
We are the ones that need to know who we are in Him.
What we have become in Him.
Everything God did was for us. What a gracious Father we’ve gotten in Christ. He is all out for
us.
Sometimes i sing all day just worshiping Him and praying .
I can’t find myself staying up all night praying against a devil that’s already a defeated foe.
That will be a life of no peace, trying to ward off an enemy that’s destined to fail, regardless of
whatever means he chose to launch his attacks.
The devil and all his ally are a defeated foe.
You ought to be dancing and celebrating life and not busy fighting someone that’s scared of
you!
We have come into the fullness of the understanding that “Greater is he that’s in us than he
that’s in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Life for the believer should be less of worry about an enemy and more of celebrating about our
victory in Christ.
I’ve got peace in my heart because i know beyond a shadow of a doubt that victory is already
mine.
Illustration: Adolph Rupp “thats why they play the game” Imagine playing a game that’s already
been stated to favor you regardless of how the opponents played against you. You can literally
take a nap and still rank a million scores into victory.
That’s what Jesus was teaching us , while the disciples were busy getting anxious of the storm
and afraid of their boat sinking, Jesus was sleeping in the Storm.
That’s what PERFECT PEACE look like.
Sleeping in the Storms!!!!
“I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.”
(Psalms 4:8)
Let the rain of peace fall upon your hearts right now by the Power of the Holy Ghost.
Let His peace rise from within you in the mighty name of Jesus.
The pathway to perfect peace.
The people of God were experiencing stressful circumstances, yet God promised that He
would show them the way to experience His perfect peace!
