I have not come to bring
peace, but a sword
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world."
There is a peace that
surpasses all understanding under the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 14:17 ESV
"17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. "
There are some people
that are deceived that live worldly and sinful and when preached they are
rebellious but they don't acknowledge their own rebellion or darkness.
What does the gospel
say in such a case?
Matthew 10:34-36
ESV
“34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I
came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man
at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be
they of his own household ."
The gospel says there is
a peace under Christ that surpasses all understanding. The question is how do
you find peace? They answer is the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. You
have to be a doer of the word.
John 14:27 | KJV
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto
God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
When God said I will
puke them out, the lukewarm Church of my mouth to those that are lukewarm and
wicked that would be anything but peaceful. In the gospel when the word of God
says I will bring evil against wicked people, even those that kneel down to
Baal or anything else would you say that's peaceful. There are deceived people as they don't see their own
error. They insult, ridicule, take Christ/God's name in vain, have a dirty tongue & show rebellion but they don't accept their own
sins as it is drastic and as I heard it said their Christ is lawless. Of course everybody in scripture
especially in the Old Testament didn't follow Christ. Abraham follow the God of
the Bible. Before Abraham I am.
What they say and do are
two separate situations. The word that which describes such is hypocrites.
For example: A friend of
mine told me a few years ago who is a real believer and he preaches the word
that you can't fix it so your best bet is to stay far away from it. In fact the
gospel tells us that there's no concord between darkness and light. It tells us
we are to be a royal priesthood and to be separate. Then he/God will receive
us.
I heard
another preacher say whom had a ministry for maybe over 30 years that if
he can't reach them how you are going to be able to reach them. Jesus said if
they won't hear my words they will not hear your words neither.
Can you find peace in a
counterfeit god or a counterfeit Christ? Some people do. But that's not the
true everlasting peace of God that surpasses all understanding.
Now I'm going to give
you another example: If you were sitting in the park and there is beautiful
sunshine, you’re feeling good until somebody came up and sat close to you and
started smoking would that peaceful? You know the second hand smoke can hurt
people lest irritates them. Lots of people have asthma. Thank God they outlawed smoking in certain places but worldly people are not for GOD but ad-whore the world.
The first of the ten
commandments, on which all others are founded and without which is chaos,
destruction and death, is "Worship no god but me" (Exodus 20:3). That
is peace. That is being on the right path and peace be with you when you are.
Isaiah 26:3 - "Thou wilt
keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee." 1 Peter 5:7 you know God says you have to
love with all your heart mind and soul. See what it says in Isaiah 26.3 whose
mind [is] stayed [on thee]:" The mind must be fixed on he the Lord. The lord Jesus Christ said
without me you can do nothing. You can't serve two masters. It doesn't work.
Many celebrities tried and failed!
What
prompted me to write this blog on peace today is someone that I preached the
gospel to as they are rebellious to the word of God & follow
counterfeit but seek peace. In other words don't preach to them/me even that they
live in sin and error/deception. But in the meanwhile I've witnessed it's anything
but peaceful as its risky to NOT obey the lord. In retrospect when you plug in worldliness that is full of sin/rebellion and you think that’s peaceful you’re fooling your own soul. The
gospel says "professing themselves to be wise they become
fools." Romans 1:22-32 If you can tell me you
believe in Christ and you put on modern music full of swearing, with horrible lyrics glorifying sin/rebellion then you don't believe in Christ. You are a hypocrite. You are not
one of his sheep. You are a lost sheep. And one must wonder whom your master is.
People want healing and they want an answer to evil all the while they are upholding the works of darkness and they refuse to acknowledge their own sin or their own blindness. It’s the devil that sows discourse. He blinds the minds of people so they won't believe. “Truly, the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” (2 Corinthians 4:4 ; Revelation 12:9 )
He
the evil one knows not of peace because he is a lion looking to devour People. 1 Peter 5:8
Christ
once instructed the disciples/Apostles "11 And whosoever shall not receive
you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet
for a testimony against them. Verily I
say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of
judgment, than for that city."
Are you really SAVED? Wake up NOW!!! Get saved!
Peace
I leave you but not as the world leaves you.
