Inner peace is one of the important thing we need in life. Inner peace is something that should be resident in us as believers. There are two things that should be marked in out lives as believers or christians; and they are Quietness and Confidence. This is because a lot of things can disturb our peace as human beings, but that inner peace is the God given peace. For instance; if you see a man that is at peace when there danger, it means he/she has the peace of God. According to my to my spiritual father in the person of Obie Jason, the President of Rhythm 5 Fellowship International, He said ; "Don't believe any man that promise you peace in this year 2022, because there will be a lot of chaos, a lot of disturbances and that you change your environment or location does not mean you will have inner peace, inner peace comes from God".
As a Christian or as a believer, giving your life to Jesus Christ will give you inner peace as He promised. It is not the type of peace the world gives, it is the kind that keep your heart at peace when there is trouble, you can't develop high blood pressure. One thing we should know is that we can't get peace of mind by acquiring a P.H.D degree or by buying a car, building a house. There is no attainment in life that can give us the peace God gives. If we don't pursue the peace of God, we will find ourselves pursuing the peace of the world.
WHAT THE PEACE OF GOD DOES TO US
It will always guard our hearts, this is because the heart is the center of everything we do, and whatever we think in our heart always come to life. The Bible says; "As he thinketh in his heart, so he is." So whatever you think in your heart is what you will do.
There are Two kinds of Disturbances we have
OUTWARD DISTURBANCES:
This has to do with when things go wrong in our country; For instance; war in the country, when things go wrong in our family, business, finances, it will cause a lot of troubles in our heart.
INNER DISTURBANCES:
This is when we have fear, worry, sorrow, sadness in our heart because of the secret things we are passing through. This can cause depression and high blood pressure. Inner disturbance usually come mostly in our heart and mind. There are many people that experience more of inner disturbances, they have money, car, houses, wealth, everything but yet they don't have inner peace. Don't allow anything disturb your inner peace (your heart and mind, keep thanking God every time.)
HOW TO DEAL WITH YOUR TROUBLES
There is no way or no level that we will grow to in life that we will not have problems in life. There is no place on this planet Earth that is without problem. Don't ever think you can work out a point where you will no longer have problems in life.
- Don't think about your problems (Matthew 6:26-27) If you think of it you will get worried and then disturb the inner peace of God in you.
- Anytime you feel disturbed or have a problem, talk to God through prayer and Thanksgiving (Philippines 4:6)
- After talking to God about the problem, start thanking God for taking away the problem, thank God till you get inner peace. You need to do this so that the devil will not attack you more, because at that moment the devil will still want the problem to be in your heart.
- Always secure the peace of God in your heart by saying good things to yourself and then have faith.
*Note: There are things God does not want to see in our heart, they are; - Anxiety or worry
- Fear
- Unforgivingness, bitterness or anger.
