SILENCING THE STORMS OF LIFE

Text: Philippians 4:4-7

Jesus is our Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6, Hebrews 13:20. The angels heralded His coming as ‘Peace on earth’ and He gave us His peace while leaving the earth. John 14:27

Peace is in categories:
1. Absence of peace
2. Ordinary peace
3. Great peace
4. All-round peace
5. Peace like a river
6. Peace that passeth all understanding

If you don’t have the Prince of Peace, you won’t know the meaning of peace.

If you bring your children up in the way of the Lord, you and your children will enjoy great peace. Genesis 18:17-19, 22:1-18.Another type of peace is Multiplied Peace. Daniel 4:1, 6:25. If you already have peace, I pray today that your peace will be multiplied.

Then there is All-round peace. You won’t have to worry about material things because He is your Peace materially (Psalm 92:12-15, Philippians 4:19) and your peace spiritually. Mark 5:2-20
Solomon enjoyed all round peace. 1 Chronicles 22:9. Not a single war was recorded in his reign in a time when kings went to war yearly.

Then there is peace like a river.  Isaiah 48:18, Isaiah 66:12-14. Paul and Silas had this peace which is why they were singing and praising God in prison. Acts 16:16-34

This peace comes when God has spoken to you beforehand. Acts 16:9-10. I’m decreeing to all my children; the Almighty God will give you hearing ears. When you have hearing ears, no matter what is going on around, you will have peace like a river. When you hear from God, what mockers say will no longer move you.  Your confidence in God will be immovable.

 

The greatest is Peace that passeth all understanding. Philippians 4:7. This peace is based on past experiences. For example, Peter was fast asleep even though he was going to be killed the next morning; the angel had to wake him up to deliver him. Acts 12:5-11, 5:17-25, Revelations 3:7-8

If you have experienced this God in a storm, then you can have peace that passeth all understanding. If He has done it before, He will do it again. So one more time I’m telling you my children, relax, all is going to be well. What you should rather do is praise God.
