The Kingdom of PEACE

 

The kingdom of God is… Righteousness, PEACE and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Rom 14:17)

God’s will is for you to live on earth, as you will in heaven. God wants you to have peace in every area of your life. Let me take you back to the beginning and show you how God planned a great carefree life for you.

1. He created the day and night and said, “It is good!” The night was not created to hide evil. The day and the night were good. (Gen 1:3-5)

 

2. God created the earth’s atmosphere and He said, “It is good!”

He did not create the atmosphere for the principalities, powers, and rulers in heavenly places to have dominion over us. He did not create what man calls, “Acts of God.” God does not control the weather. He created it perfect for our comfort. (Gen 1:6-8)

 

3. God gathered the waters and called them sea and He saw that, “It is good.” He did not create the shark to have dominion in the waters or the jellyfish to sting us. He created everything in the waters, GOOD

 

4.God created plant life and said, "It is good!” He did not created poison oak or ivy or any plant to hurt us. (Gen 1:11-13)

 

5.He created the moon and sun so we could see and He said, “It is good!” He did not create the sun and moon to be worshiped. (Gen 1:14-19)

 

6. God created the animals in the sea, air and on the ground and He said, “It is good!” None of the animals were created to hurt us in any way. The snake, black widow, grizzly, cougar or any other animal were created good and NOT to hurt us. They were there to bless us. God created all things for us to enjoy and for us to have an abundant life. Because of man's fall, the devil took what was good and twisted it to make something perverted to use against us to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10) (Gen 1:20-23)

 

7. God created man in, “Our image and likeness.” He told us to, “Subdue and have dominion over ALL the earth.” We are created to be God's kids. He said about us, “It is VERY GOOD!” His kids are just like their Father, we rule and reign without words. We are to be kings on this earth and bring our Daddy’s will to earth by the kingdom in us. Everything on earth that is NOT righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit is to be brought in line through the Holy Spirit in us! (Rom 14:17) (Gen 1:26-31)

 

8. God put GOLD and GEMSTONES ON earth for us. He wanted us to see them on the top of the ground, not have to dig up the ground and search for them. Gemstones and Gold are IN the earth because of the fall of man. They used to be ON the earth, we didn’t have to dig for them; they were not hidden from us. (Gen 2:11-12)

 

9. We were created to have FELLOWSHIP with the Lord. When Jesus died in our place and took our punishment for us, it brought us back into fellowship with God. We can now expect to have a daily relationship with Him. God restored us to the place of His kids! God is a chatterbox, He never shuts up. In my relationship with Him, He is always talking, sometimes so much I say, Wait I need to write this down. I found out a secret! The more time you spend praying in tongues, the more you hear from God. Do you want to know WHY? Because you are getting past your own logical, analytical mind, and religious thinking and into the Spirit of God and praying HIS PREFECT WILL (HEAVEN ON EARTH FOR YOU). Now, if I can have this type of relationship with God, so can you! Jesus said I can only do what I SEE My Father do. (Gen 2:8-16)

 

10. God planted a garden FOR US. It was pleasant to sight and good for FOOD! God want to be our God and take care of us. Cast your cares on Him for He cares for you. If we seek first the kingdom of God ALL these THINGS will be added to us.

 

He created the planets for us and earth for us to rule and have dominion just like our Father does in heaven. He made a place for His kids to copy Him.

 

Earth is a copy of heaven. The things God created on earth are in heaven. There are horses in heaven, trees, rivers, streets, houses, mountains, and a city. People work and worship in heaven. In heaven, people lift up theirhands, and bow down, and shout and worship Jesus. If you don’t do these things now, you're not going to enjoy heaven! Get rid of a religious sprit and start having a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Remember, Jesus is seated at the right hand of God and He sent back the Holy Spirit as His representative to live and work in you. Change your life today by receiving the Holy Spirit and begin to speak in tongues. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Tongues is a powerful tool God gave us to have power on earth. God wants you to have peace in every area of your life. The kingdom of God brings peace!

 

. Look at the next scripture. God wants us to serve us in Righteousness.

And hath raised up (Jesus)That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

… That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. (Luke 1:69-75)

 

1. Peace gives us strength and in Ps 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. (Ps 37:11)

 

2. Peace gives us all we need to do God's will. Now the God of peace, … through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will

Because God has made you perfect in every good work to do His will, you will not be lacking in anything. (Heb 13:20)

 

3. Peace draws us near God. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.14: For he is our peace…15: Having abolished … even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself … one new man, so making peace; This shows us that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament commandments and made the new command, LOVE. (Eph 2:14-15)

 

 

Jesus preached PEACE. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all) (Acts 10:36)

Jesus is lord over all sickness, disease, lack, fear, and death. He has authority over those things and He uses us to change them on earth and bring PEACE and JOY and RIGHTEOUSNESS instead.

 

 

 

Peace is substance and power

 

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. (Matt 10:13)

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Rom 15:13)

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)

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, (2 Pet 1:2)

 

 

Instruction on peace

 

1....seek peace, and pursue it. (Ps 34:14)

2. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Eph 4:3)

3. Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. (Ps 119:165)

10. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Is 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. (2 Pet 3:14)

11. And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away …and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. (Jer 29:7,11)

12. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? (Jms 2:16)

13. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. (Is 55:12)

14. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Rom 15:13)

 

 

Here are a few examples to show you how our feet have authority on earth.

 

And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap. (Josh 3:13)

Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings (Josh 10:24)

And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance (Josh 14:9)

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: (Ps 8:6)

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. (Ps 47:3)

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet (Ps 91:13)

 

Kingdom, Peace

 

Jesus preached peace and demonstrated peace. Acts 10:36, The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace. Eph 2:17, And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

The kingdom of God is PEACE IN the HOLY SPIRIT, which you can see, in the next scripture.

… then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. (now He gives them the Holy Spirit to bring peace and have peace) …, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost (John 20:21)

 

Take a look at this next scripture. By it you can see if you are really in faith.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in

hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Rom15:13) If you are believing the word, you will be full of joy and peace. If you are full of anything else but joy and peace, you are not believing. Spend time praying IN the Holy Spirit (tongues).

 

Peace happens when the kingdom lives in a person through the Holy Spirit in the new creation. In this next scripture, Jesus tells all the things that happened to a city because they didn’t receive Him. This is just like people today when they don’t accept salvation. Jesus says how they could have had peace and avoided the problems by knowing when He visited them. Today in revival, many people will miss God because they will say, “What strange things are happening. That must not be God.”

 

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the THINGS WHICH BELONG TO YOUR PEACE! but now they are hid from thine eyes. (now you don’t have the power to change these circumstance that are going to happen to you.)

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation (Luke 19:42)

 

Don’t you be a religious person and miss God’s visitation to you, so your eyes are closed to the power Jesus died for you to have. YOU know the time of your visitation.

 

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. (Rom 14:17)

 

It is edifying and uplifting for each other when we take the power of God and bring peace and joy by healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons and preaching the good news to the poor.
