Let Peace Rule!

Colossians 3:15

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”

Jesus knew that we would be faced with tribulations, persecutions and trouble so He gave us His peace. John 14:27 says “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”  Peace is what we need to stand in the midst of adverse circumstances.  Notice Jesus said “my peace I give to you” we have the same peace that Jesus had.  When the Jews sought to stone Jesus He wasn’t afraid, He had peace. Peace that allowed Him to walk through the midst of them and not be seen (John 8:59).  Again, when Jesus was persecuted in the synagogue and the people rose up and thrust Him out of their city and led Him to a hill where they wanted to cast Him down headlong, He wasn’t afraid, His peace allowed Him to pass through the midst of them and go His way (Luke 4:29). Even when He was in the boat with His disciples and a storm arose, He was able to sleep because He had peace.  It was that peace that He spoke to the wind and the waves and said “Peace be still” (Mark 4:39) and it’s that peace that He has given to us. 

Look at the three Hebrew boys, when they were cast into the fiery furnace they believed in God.  They believed that God would deliver them out.  They weren’t trouble or perplexed they had the peace of God.  They said, “…O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter (Daniel 3:16).  Now does that sound like someone afraid?  I don’t think so their belief in God was their peace. 

 If you believe  in Jesus you have the peace of God.   The same way Jesus walked through angry mobs and sleep through a raging storm, you will rise above every adverse circumstance in your life if you let the peace not trouble rule in your heart. John 14:1, “Let not your heart be trouble ye believe in God, believe also in me.” Rest in peace! The peace that Jesus gives.

You Are Complete In Christ!

Colossians 2:9-10

“For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.  And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.”

Completeness is nothing missing and nothing broken it’s wholeness.In Jesus Christ dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead. In Jesus Christ there is completeness, there is nothing missing , nothing broken.  All knowledge, all wisdom and all power is in Him.  All that there is or was and ever will be was created by Him and He is Lord over all. “For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions or principalities, or powers; all things were created by Him and for Him.  And He is before all things and by Him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16-17).

In all that He is and in all His completeness, He lives in us and we live in Him.  Therefore, we can boldly say we have nothing missing and nothing broken we are complete in Him.  Now, I know you might be thinking, “how can I be complete when I lacking?”  Well you are.   If the creator of all things is living in you and you live in Him that makes you complete because the source of all things lives in you.  All you need to do is to see yourself as having all things, nothing missing, nothing broken.

After God created Adam He saw that it wasn’t good that Adam be alone and He said, “…I will make a help meet for him” (Gen. 2:18).  “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man” (Gen. 2:21-22).   The grace that Adam needed was already in him, what Adam needed was taken from within him.  But it didn’t  come out until Adam was resting.

Likewise, the grace that you need is already in you because Jesus Christ is in you and you are in Him you are complete you have nothing missing and nothing broken.  God sees you as complete, He sees you as  having all that you’ll ever need to be successful and accomplish your purpose in life.  Rest in the completeness of Christ in you today because when you are resting the grace that is in you, will come out of you.
