This message is inspired by the Reading, “Peace” from the Book, Overcoming Darkness.

Our Flesh desires to have all the answers and solutions for the Trials we experience in our daily lives. Our Flesh, being born in Sin, seeks remedies that are pleasing to the Flesh. Our Human Spirit becomes a Self-Reliant Spirit. We rely on Worldly answers rather than a total reliance and Faith that God has all answers. ( Matthew 26:41, Galatians 5:17, 1 John 2:16) 

The Trials we experience are for building our Faith and our Spiritual Mind.  The Trials are necessary to teach us Patience, Peace, Love, and to gain Wisdom. The Tests strengthen us. They provide us with Armor and all the necessary resources to be in the World, but not of the World. (1 Peter 5:10, James 1:12, Romans 12:12, John 17:14-16)

Trials provide us the opportunity to practice what we have learned. If it’s Patience we need, it will be tested. If it is a Self-Righteous Spirit, It will be tested. If it is Submission to God’s Order, it will be tested.  The Test is always will we “Let Go and Let God,” or follow the Spirit of our Flesh. (John 16:33, I Corinthians 10:13, James 1:2, Romans 5:3)

Letting Go and Letting God is easy (Keep It Simple). His yoke is easy and his Burden is Light. God’s word instructs us to Cast all of our Cares. The Unclean Spirits are seeking people to devour. These Unclean Spirits are attempting to invade Homes, Marriages, Businesses and anywhere they can cast Doubt and Fear. By Letting Go and Letting God, we experience God’s full armor. We are able to withstand the wiles of the Enemy. (I Peter 5:7, Matthew 11:28-30, Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 34:4, Psalm 27:1,)

God provides comfort in his Spirit and Word. We Gain a Peace that surpasses all Understanding. (John 16:33)

Song for the Week

“Let Go and Let God” performed by John Stuckey Jr

PEACE

His presence in the storm

Is like a refreshing and calming balm

He knows what tomorrow holds

Wrapped in His loving arms

In the darkness of the night

He will make everything alright

With His broad wings of love

He overcomes Satan’s might

Like the birds will always sing

Like the symbol of the wedding ring

There is no power on this earth

That can bring about our end

The Peace that exceeds understanding

When our fists are bound so tight

He then whispers in our ears

Perfect love is our hearts’ delight

His Peace is wrapped in patience

And sprinkled with kindness and joy

If we walk in His authority

We’ll enjoy life, reach for more

He will give us Peace

But only if we believe

All things are possible

With the faith of a mustard seed
