Don't Worry, Have Peace


Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:7

I am going to tell you what it says before this verse, but first let us ask Holy Spirit to reveal to us what our Lord Jesus is saying to us right in this moment. Lord would you open our hearts to receive your word on good ground and may be eat it and produce fruit in our lives worthy of the calling to contain the glory of God in us. May we know the deep secrets of the most high God's heart and may we experience the depth, width, height, and length of His love. Jesus we love you, thank you, trust in, rely on, and believe in Your gracious gift of salvation. Holy Spirit come awaken love in our hearts.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Philippians 4:6

.....one more thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8

Destination

Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Isaiah 55:2

Father God, forgive me for spending and eating unsatisfying things. Holy Spirit show me how to allow my soul to delight in Your abundance. Jesus, Son of God, I believe You have made a way for me to hear and consume all that the Father good will has for me. Lead me in the way, My Savior.

Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk, Without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1

Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6

Oh God! Thank You that Your gift of redemption is free! Thank You that Your Love is lavished upon me by an act of Your will, the will of God, and not by my own strength. For I have nothing to give, and I cannot do anything! God! Thank You that I will love You with all my heart and You will give me enough to drink that I will never thirst again. Please help me to enjoy the sustenance You provide daily for me, Lord. Help me to walk, breathe, and bask in Your presence and Your mercies; going deeper everyday, new every morning. I love You Lord, and I surrender my heart, my will, my hunger to You, Jesus. Come Holy Spirit and satisfy me with joy, intimacy, strength, victory, refining, and all the abundance of my God, and King.

Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. Isaiah 55:3


Note: I was wondering about the interjection used in the verse: "Ho!" I looked it up and it is used to express surprise or joy, to attract attention to something sighted, or to urge onward: Land ho! Westward ho! Then I realized that the Lord was calling with great joy, "Come! Come to Me!" He is excited and delighted to beckon His beloved to a place of satisfaction and love. It is used to urge onward to a destination...."the Heart of the Father, Ho!" Let us run into the arms of His Son, the faithful witness of the Father. We can know the biggest Love, the greatest heart, the most unfailing devotion, freely! Freely! Oh Holy Spirit! Keep our eyes on the blazing eyes of fire, the eyes of Jesus, that explain how Our Father feels about us. Oh how He loves us! My destination is Love!
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Hebrews 1:3

John 14:21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." 22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?" 23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. 25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
