I was recently in prayer and in the Spirit I saw what you would see on a Doppler radar for an upcoming and approaching hurricane. What I was drawn to was the center, what they call the eye.
In the center or the eye of the storm it is said that all wind and turmoil in a storm is no longer present and there is only calm.
When the disciples were on the boat with Jesus the storm came up but Jesus was at perfect peace and asleep, the disciples in unrest and fear of the storm around them.
In this story we know that the disciples in their fear and unrest went and woke Jesus, Jesus then spoke to the storm and commanded it to be silent.
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39)
“The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:14)
In this portion of scripture the children of Israel had been set free from years of captivity and slavery, but then the enemy began to pursue them again, fear gripped them as they saw the army of the enemy approaching with such fierceness. The Lord then tells Moses to speak to the children of Israel, Gods children, and tell them to stand still and HOLD THEIR PEACE because the enemy would be dealt with by God Himself and it was and is still true to this day.
We then see the Lord share another secret with us, He spoke to Moses and told Him to stretch out the rod of authority that the Lord had given him and use it.
We all have been given peace as children of God and authority to speak to those things that threaten us with unrest or in our way to living our lives as promised.
Again, Jesus shares again what He has given us..
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27)
In the New Living Translation it is worded this way. “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. (Colossians 3:15)
WE as Children of God have been blessed with Every Spiritual Blessing in Heavenly places and we are created to live in the center of peace and when the storms of life or of the world or past bondages threaten to come at us, we have been given authority to speak to these things and command them to BE SILENT.
Let’s join together and lay hold of this wonderful treasure that Jesus has imparted to us and INVITE THE PEACE OF GOD TO RULE IN OUR MIDST AND TRULY HOLD ONTO OUR PEACE. If people or circumstances that are in caos try to come at us to invade our world we can influence it with our peace instead of letting it rule us with its caos.
One way we can do this is through prayer and praying the above scriptures in the form of thanksgiving.
I pray that the PEACE OF GOD WILL TRULY RULE IN YOUR HEARTS AND THAT YOU LIVE IN THE CENTER OF HIM AND HIS GIFT FOR YOU.
Blessings,

The word of God does not tell us to love others according to how we feel in the moment. We are to love as we have been loved. In Ephesians 3 it says that we are too be rooted and grounded in love and that is not just know we are loved but release that love.
You, like the Shulamite, are the dance of two camps! You are the convergence of two realms. You are the living substance of heaven and earth. When God created Adam, He formed Him of the earth, but also breathed His Spirit into Him. This symbolized that man, unlike anything else God created, was the symbol of two kingdoms. Right now you are on earth, but also in Heaven. (Eph 2:6) You are the beautiful harmony, the graceful pas de deux of God and man, Heaven and earth, in one body -mystically united in Christ! You are a citizen of Heaven while taking up residency on earth. (Eph 2:19) You have every legal right to access Heaven now.
