REPLACE NEGATIVE FEELINGS WITH PEACE

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer!  Once again I am delighted to share the word of encouragement and hope, at such a time as this.The title of my message is:"REPLACE NEGATIVE FEELINGS WITH PEACE" The Living Bible in Psalms 119:165 says,
[165]"Those who love your laws have great peace of heart and mind and do not stumble." Although it is a wonderful feeling to see a person who has historically triggered negative emotions  without having any unpleasant feelings toward them, it's even better to replace the negative feelings with great peace! Destructive emotions no longer have to dominate you. When you release offense, it can be replaced with great peace. Notice that the Word doesn't describe it as "ordinary peace;" instead it characterizes it as great peace." (Although for some, ordinary peace would be a welcomed option!) The peace that the psalmist is referring to is supernatural peace. Jesus declared in the scripture below that the world could not gain access to this kind of peace.  The Amplified Bible in John 14:27 says,
[27]"Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" This verse is referring to super - strength peace. For example, a store may sell regular strength asprin to manage an ordinary headache. They also sell an extra strength pain reliever to alleviate a more serious headache. In addition, they sell a magnum strength painkiller for migraine headaches. Meanwhile  Psalm 119:165 indicates that this kind of great peace is a noble and princely peace. What kind of peace do you suppose a prince would have?When your birthright is of royal ancestry, you have extraordinary peace because you know that everything is under control. Peter pronounces that heritage on us.
The Amplified Bible in 1 Peter 2:9 says,
[9]"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." [Exod. 19:5, 6.] As a born - again believer, you can have princely peace because your lineage is a royal priesthood. God has chosen you and has adopted you into His family. You now have God's blood flowing in your veins. What can hurt or upset you when you know God is on your side?          Romans8:31 says,          " What then shall we say to these  things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Indeed nothing shall hurt you. Although the Word says that loving the law of God will give you great peace, the devil can use anything as a stumbling block against you. And, when you don't exercise your God - given authority over the devices of the enemy, offense can cause you to lose your balance. In Luke 10:19, Jesus entrusts you with authority: " Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you" Jesus has given believers authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means can harm you. Cruel words and insults cannot harm you. Wicked deeds have no damaging power over you. Insensitive people are harmless against you. Nothing offensive can harm you. Because of this authority, you are in control and that brings peace! Remember, that doesn't mean you allow people to walk on you. There is a vast difference between being a doormat and choosing to forgive. Just because you refuse to take offense,  doesn't mean you are a noodle! Actually, you will be demonstrating great strength. Choose to live in your God - given authority, and the Bible promises that nothing by any means shall hurt you.       " Replace Negative  Feelings with Peace"  Seek peace and speak peace with all people. ( Hebrews 12:14, Philippians 4:6-7)

May God richly bless you!
