La paix de Dieu
La paix de Dieu
by Toni Weisz/Spiritual Warfare
Scripture References: Psaume 119:165, Galatians 5:22-23, John 16:33, Psaume 147:4, Isaïe 9:6, Psaume 27:10, and John 10:29
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. Psaume 119:165
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joie, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
These things have I spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33
When my father and mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me. Psaume 27:10
Everyone in this world desires peace. The politicians are promising peace, but they cannot deliver that.
Why do we yearn for peace in our souls? Because we are all created by God, who offers this peace to all His children. Peace is listed third in the list of the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23.
Jesus told us in John 16:33, “In this world you will have tribulation, trials, and suffering, but be assured and confident I have overcome the world.”
God created us for a relationship with Him, but we try to fill this void in our hearts with all kinds of things, but nothing satisfies. Only a relationship with Jesus can satisfy our longing soul for fellowship with our Creator God and Father.
Jesus is the answer to every problem we face in this world. He binds up our broken hearts and heals our wounds (ref. Psaume 147:3). He is the Great Physician.
In Isaiah 9:6, which is a foretelling of His birth, it states that Jesus will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
How can we describe God’s peace to someone who has never experienced it? It’s the knowledge that I am forgiven, and I don’t need to hide my sins and secrets anymore. I don’t have to wear a mask and pretend anymore that everything is great. I can be real. I am loved and accepted by God just the way I am because Jesus paid my sin debt on the cross. I am no longer separated from God. I can love and forgive others because of what God has done for me. I am free. That is what gives me peace. I don’t belong to the devil anymore; I was bought by the precious blood of Jesus. I belong to God now, and no one can pluck me out of the Father’s hand (ref. John 10:29).
During the time of writing this, I have not had peace in a few months, and I didn’t understand why until now. I was allowing the enemy to beat me down in the area of my earthly inheritance and finances. My son has been unable to work for over 2.5 years with an illness that is still undiagnosed, and my daughter is a single mom. And I am still in need.
I just figured out the wound the enemy has been poking. It’s my wound of rejection. As I am writing this, the Lord brought this verse to my mind, “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.” Psalm 27:10
Oh Lord, I am so grateful for your love and care for me and my family. I am so grateful that you removed the blindness so I could see the root cause for my torment. I feel abandoned and rejected and ne pas an heir in my earthly family. Wow!! That’s so huge, Seigneur. Thank you for this revelation.
At this moment on Sunday, February 4, 2024, à 7:30 AM, I have experienced a breakthrough. Merci, Jésus. Now I know what I was dealing with. The enemy clouded my mind so I could not see clearly the root cause for my torment and lack of peace. I was feeling rejection from my earthly family.
Many of you dear ones have experienced abuse from your family members, who were supposed to love you and take care of you, and for that, I am so sorry you experienced that trauma. Those wounds are so deep. I pray you know how much you are loved by the Lord and that He wants to heal you in all your broken places. He wants you to come to Him as a little child, believing by faith that He is a safe person and that you can trust Him.
The enemy is continually trying to rob you of your peace because he knows you belong to God. He cannot take your spirit to hell, but he can torment you.
Spend time alone with the Lord in a quiet place, and allow His Holy Spirit minister to you. He loves you so much, and He knows your struggles. He collects your tears in a bottle. He knows everything about you, and He still loves you more than you can comprehend. Ask Him to cover you with His peace and to protect you. Make a daily decision to walk in His peace regardless of what is going on around you.
Questions to take to heart:
1.) Are you experiencing God’s peace? Can you give an example of God’s peace in the middle of a storm or situation? What was that like for you? Please explain.
2.) Sinon, what is preventing you from experiencing His peace?
There are several things that can rob our peace: abuser de, unconfessed sin, severe pain, prolonged trials, rejection, abandon, weariness, solitude, depression, grief, désespoir, hopelessness, etc. Please explain.
3.) How can we encourage you today?
My prayer for you is that you will experience the peace and joy of the Lord in your heart, mind, and soul. S'il vous plaît tendre la main. We are here for you. Email me at: toni@myashestobeauty.com.
Tu es aimé,

P.S. I remembered I made a list of affirmations about five years ago called, “Who I am In Christ to Combat Rejection.” I used to read this list everyday for at least a year. I need to go back to doing that so I have my armor on and I am protected from the evil one’s lies.
