The power of My Peace
Do not want what I have given to another. Why should you let the evil one rob you of peace through envy? Be content with what I have given you. Then your eyes will be opened to all the treasure I have given to you that envy blinded you to. I Love you.

  • 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.

12-2
The power of My Peace
Give peace, goodwill, blessings, mercy, hope, forgiveness . . . I do the rest

  • Luke 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
  • Matthew 7:12 So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

  • Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

12-3
Pray for the peace of the strangers around you.
I know your uncomfortable living and working among strangers . . . those who are not My sheep and do not know Me. Pray for peace for them even if they do not outwardly appear to need it.

  • Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

12-4
Got Peace?
No stranger has peace. Give peace to them in My Name through prayer and goodwill toward them. Be a peacemaker. Strangers need peace just like you. Give them My peace. The world takes away peace daily.

  • Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

12-5
You give peace daily
I will hear your prayer for peace for them. Give a blessing and you will receive a blessing. Give mercy and you will receive mercy. Give forgiveness and you will receive forgiveness. Give hope and you will receive hope.

  • James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

12-6
Wasteland of philosophy
Do not be tempted to follow what the strangers around you are following.  Many of them are following after the empty opinions of men. Others are following the religions of demons.  Some are following carefully veiled superstitions.  Some like the wasteland of philosophy. All will lead to starvation.  Follow Me to Living Water and real food.

  • Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
  • 1 Timothy 6:3-5 3If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and semantics, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.
  • John 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.
  • John 7:37-39 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”
  • Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

12-7
The Desire for Curious Knowledge
Do not be tempted to see down their road. It leads to death which is separation from the Source of all Life. I Am the Alpha and the Omega. All Life comes from Me. I Am Life. I Am Peace. There is none apart from Me. Follow Me. I Love you!

  • Deuteronomy 30:19 Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! –
  • Romans 12:2 Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
  • 2 Timothy 1: 7 God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

  • Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

12-8
Vanity, vanity . . . all is vanity
To do something in vain means to do something to no avail . . . it will be as nothing in the end. Strangers live their lives in vain. Everything they do is without the Source of Truth, Me, so it is in vain. Do not be like them. Do not live your life in vain. Live with Me and your life will last forever.

  • Ecclesiastes 1:2 Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.”
  • Ecclesiastes  8:4 There is futility which is done on the earth, that is, there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked. On the other hand, there are evil men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I say that this too is futility.

12-10
Serving Me is Not in Vain
Nothing done with Me is a waste. Be patient and you will see. Your life with Me will count for much. It will count for eternity. It will be for blessing. It will be forever a good thing.

  • Matthew 6:26-27 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
  • Psalm 84:11 The LORD is our protector and glorious king, blessing us with kindness and honor. He does not refuse any good thing to those who do what is right.
  • Luke 6:22-23 Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
  • 1 Peter 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

12-11
Beware of the Wasteland of Futility
They lead to vanity. . . nothing, a wasteland, futility. Their lives and their philosophies will be in vain.

  • Romans 12:2 Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

12-12
From a Stranger to a Sheep
You cannot change a stranger into a sheep any more than you can change a dog into a cat. Only Holy Spirit can give new Life. Pray for peace for the stranger. Come and follow Me. Give Love. Follow Me. Give patience. Follow Me. Give forgiveness. Follow Me. Be silent. Follow Me. Keep your eyes and mind on Me. Follow Me.

  • Matthew 16:16-17 Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Then Jesus replied, “Happy are you, Simon son of Jonah, because no human has shown this to you. Rather my Father who is in heaven has shown you.

12-13
Worried? Read My Book . . . I win!
Do not be upset that the world is perishing. I told you this would happen. Read the end of My Book. Yes, wars, famines, earthquakes, tragedies come but do not be afraid because I have overcome. I Am bigger than all that. I know what I Am doing.

  • John 16:33 I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you’ll have trouble, but be courageous—I’ve overcome the world!
  • Revelation 3:21 To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

12-15
My Peace . . . A valuable gift
My peace is a valuable gift. When it wraps your spirit it is like a shield. No cares of the world can penetrate My peace. Ask Me to wrap you in My peace. Do not ask that all your troubles disappear. Ask for My peace. You can go through anything with My peace. Receive My peace. Be still before Me, the Mighty One, and receive My peace. Breathe in My peace. Inhale My peace. It will wrap around you like a warm bath. Ask for My peace. I Love you!

  • 1Peter 5:7 Give all your worries to him, because He cares for you.
  • Isaiah 41:13 I am the Lord your God,  who grasps your strong hand, who says to you,  Don’t fear; I will help you.

PEACE AND CONTENTMENT IN JESUS

12-16
The Power of My Hugs
Do not underestimate the power of My hugs. They are not just a nice concept or thought. They are not just symbolic or something to look forward to in the distant future. They are literal and now. The only requirement is for you to be still within your inner being. One person cannot hug another who is in constant motion. Be still and wait. Be still and quiet. Be still and calm. Breathe My peace. Exhale the cares. you will know My hug. . . I Am carrying you.

  • Isaiah 46:4 I will still be the same when you are old and gray, and I will take care of you. I created you. I will carry you and always keep you safe.
  • Isaiah 41:13 I am the Lord your God,  who grasps your strong hand, who says to you,  Don’t fear; I will help you.

12-17
Hugs
I Am the Lord your God and I invented the hug.

  • Song of Solomon 2:6  His left arm is beneath my head, his right embraces me.

12-18
A faulty path . . . your own understanding
You wonder at the reasonings of the difficult one near you. Fear and confusion will drive sound reasoning far away. Do not give in to fear yourself. Be silent. Trust Me and wait.

  • Proverbs 28:26 Those who trust in their own reasoning are fools, but those who walk in wisdom will be kept safe.
  • Proverbs 27:22 Even if you grind fools in a mortar, even grinding them along with the grain, their folly won’t be driven from them.

12-19
No matter how hard you try . . .
You cannot reason with someone who has accepted fear and confusion. Therefore wait on Me. Wait in peaceful silence. Trust in Me with all your heart. Do not lean on your own understanding. It will also be faulty. Remain in your inner being and sit still in My Presence. I will direct your paths and thoughts.

  • Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don’t rely on your own intelligence. Know him in all your paths, and He will keep your ways straight.
  • Proverbs 16:22 Good sense is a spring of fresh water to those who have it, but fools can offer only foolishness.

STRONGHOLDS AND TRAPS

12-20
Recognizing fear and confusion
Where fear and confusion reign there is also anger and pride. Be humble. Do not try to force someone to see their fear and confusion. They have already justified the spirits they accepted. Pride has become their shield.

  • Proverbs 21:2 Everyone’s path is straight in their own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.

12-21
Breaking strongholds
The only way to break the stronghold is through My Spirit of humility, patience, faith, and perseverance. Remain in your inner self – Our garden of intimacy within you.

  • 2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
  • James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

12-22
Using My Authority
Talk to Me and then wait in silence. Bind the demons of fear, confusion and pride around and within the trapped one. Cast them out in Jesus’ Name. Loose My Spirit of peace, Love, sound mind and humility. Do this silently within your spirit. You do not always have to speak the words out loud. Then wait on Me.

  • Matt 16:19 I’ll give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Anything you fasten on earth will be fastened in heaven. Anything you loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven.

12-23
Trust Me . . .  I Am near
Know that I Am near. Do not trust your emotions. Take dominion over them. Watch Me while I work like a child sits quietly in a chair watching his Father. You will see My Hand.

  • Matthew 18:18 I assure you that whatever you fasten on earth will be fastened in heaven. And whatever you loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven.

12-24
Like uncontrolled glue
Emotions are like uncontrolled glue. They bind things that do not belong together. Do not let them out of the container or you will find that you have a terrible mess.

  • Proverbs 21:23 Those who guard their mouths and their tongues guard themselves from trouble.
  • Proverbs 16:32 Better to be patient than a warrior and better to have self-control than to capture a city.
  • Proverbs 17:1 Better a dry crust with quiet than a house full of feasting with quarrels.
  • Proverbs 15:13  A joyful heart brightens one’s face, but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.

12-25
They are like fly paper
Emotions, once given permission to spring forth, cannot be controlled. They do not reveal Truth. They are like fly paper. They will stick to whatever is in the room. Remain at peace and rest at all times.

  • Proverbs 13:3 People who watch their mouths guard their lives, but those who open their lips are ruined.
  • Proverbs 11:29 Those who trouble their family will inherit the wind. The fool will be servant to the wise.
  • Proverbs 12:13-16 The wicked are trapped by the transgressions of their lips, but the righteous escape from distress. From the fruit of their speech, people are well satisfied; their work results in reward. Fools see their own way as right, but the wise listen to advice. Fools reveal their anger right away, but the shrewd hide their contempt.
  • Proverbs 12:18 Some chatter on like a stabbing sword, but a wise tongue heals.

12-26
Like pillars of a great house
A peaceful, restful spirit is like the pillars of a great house. No matter how the wind blows the pillars remain fixed. This brings comfort to those within the house. Remain in your inner self with Me at all times. Remain in My peace and rest as you silently watch Me work. I will make you a pillar. Those around you will lean on you and know that your God reigns.

  • Psalm 61: 1-4 God, listen to my cry; pay attention to my prayer! When my heart is weak, I cry out to you from the very ends of the earth. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I am because you have been my refuge, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy. Please let me live in your tent forever! Please let me take refuge in the shelter of your wings!
  • Psalm 62:1-2 Only in God do I find rest; my salvation comes from him. Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore.
  • Psalm 89:8-9 Who is like you, Lord God of heavenly forces? Mighty Lord, your faithfulness surrounds you! You rule over the surging sea: When its waves rise up, it’s you who makes them still.

12-27
Distracted by the unknown
Those who spend their days trying to anticipate what will happen in the future miss out on the pleasures of intimacy with Me. Do not be distracted by the unknown. Come and be with Me.

  • Matt 11:25 At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants;
  • Luke 10:21 At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

12-28
. . . Like trying to catch the wind
I have hidden the future from your sight for a purpose. Trying to predict the future is like trying to catch the wind. You have Me. I Am all you need. Invest in Me.

  • Isaiah 48:6 You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forward I make you hear new things, hidden things that you have not known.

12-29
Distractions from intimacy
Do not concern yourself with trying to discern the future. Those who do are not spending precious time with Me. They have become distracted and encourage others to be distracted from Me.

  • Leviticus 19:31 Do not turn to psychics or fortune tellers; do not seek them out, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
  • Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).

12-30
Thousands . . .  do not have intimacy with Me
Let the dead bury the dead while you come and be with Me. I can do more with a few who spend time in intimacy with Me than thousands of politically, socially, environmentally, religiously and evangelically active people who do not have intimacy with Me.

  • Luke 9:60  But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

12-31
It’s none of your business . . .
Be careful that you do not fall into the trap of curiosity about the future. Keep your focus on Me. Accept each day that I bring. Trust Me for your daily manna. Do not consider things that are none of your business. Do not try to peek into the future. Do not try to peek into your neighbor’s mind. These things are none of your business. Be simple and humble before  Me. Focus on Me and My Love for you. Listen for My Voice. Follow Me.

  • Matthew 6:31-33 do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ . . .  and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first for the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well
  • Colossians 2:8 Be sure you are not led away by the teaching of those who have nothing worth saying and only plan to deceive you. That teaching is not from Christ. It is only human tradition and comes from the powers that influence this world.
