KEEP YOUR PEACE !!!

As long as we are able to trust in God…that He is able and willing to help those who rest on the Lord Jesus… in all matters which are for His glory and their good, the heart remains calm and peaceful.

It is only when we practically let go faith in His power or His love, that we lose our peace and become troubled.

UNREASONABLE

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

WHAT DOES “PASSES UNDERSTANDING”

MEAN?

ARE YOU IN THE KINGDOM ?

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of

Righteousness,

Peace and

Joy in the Holy Spirit

Romans 14:17

OUR SPIRIT’S GAUGE

May the God of hope fill you with all

Joy and Peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

MINISTRY’S PEACE

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Philippians 4:6-8

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

PROVERBS 4:23

PEACE IS YOUR GUARD

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

PHILIPPIANS 4:7
