Today I want to talk about peace. Peace is one of the fruits of the spirit and it's really useful!
Philippians 4:6-7 says: 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Paul says to "present your requests to God." When we live in a state of being fully dependent on God then we open up the door for supernatural peace to enter our lives. That can be a scary place to be... Like a trust fall... blind folded... off of a cliff. It doesn't make sense to our minds but God's peace is a peace "that transcends all understanding." If you thought about it, it wouldn't make sense but God's peace totally bypasses all reasoning and deals direct with the soil of our heart. The perfect fertilizer!
So often we go to receive from God and our minds get in the way. Human instinct tells us to stay away from things that we don't understand. We like to be in control. The problem with receiving all these amazing things from God is that when we are doing business with God we are not in control! He is! When we are in pain we take a pain killer, but when these worries start to threaten your receiving healing or deliverance, you need to take a chill pill and receive God's peace!
