“P.E.A.C.E.”

How can I still have peace?

It doesn’t matter what you’re encountering….you can still have peace.  However, you must realize that God has given to you a strategy that must be implemented.  You must also realize that peace is not the absence of adversity – but a mindset.  

So… How can you renew my mind to the extent that you can receive God’s solution and apply it to every situation?   The following can assist.

P -“Presence” - If we invite the presence of God to intervene; (Exodus 33: 14)

E -“Endure”   - If we endure as a warrior, not whine like a wimp; and view

our situation as an open door and not a dead end;

                                (James 1:22; II Timothy 2:3)

A -“Ask”        - If we ask God for guidance and the proper strategy to                       

                       successfully outwit the enemy in every situation... and don’t just    

                       do what “WE” think is best;  (Proverbs 3:5-7)

C -“Cry”         - If we cry out to the Lord first– and not to other people;

         (Psalm 30:2)

E -“Expect”   - If we expect and accept. Expect God to give you a strategy –  

                          Therefore, keep an open ear  - knowing that we must accept

                          the process.

                               (Philippians 4:13; Psalm 86:11; Psalm 25:5)

So….YES! We can still have PEACE in the midst of it all…..But the key is to:

Invite in the PRESENCE of God;  Be determined to ENDURE; ASK God for help; CRY to Him and EXPECT Him to change US even when the situation doesn’t APPEAR to be changing.
