How To Live A Blessed Peaceful Life
1) Live One Day At A Time
If God takes care of the little sparrows, Jesus will take care of you. Matthew 10:29 says Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Luke 12:6 says Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.. Be like these sparrows and just enjoy one day at a time while you trust Jesus every day to provide your needs. Remember birds have bills but they keep on singing.
Jesus told us to be like the birds that don't worry about tomorrow and the future. Live one day at a time. Jesus said at Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousnesss: and all these things shall be added unto you. Be happy like the birds and give thanks for your food, clothing, and shelter daily trusting Jesus to provide all your needs. If God provided food and clothing for you today, be happy and content. 1 Timothy 6:6 says But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
James 4:13 says Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live , and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. The Lord Jesus told us how to live one day at a time. Jesus said at Luke 9:23 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.
2) Wait On Jesus Before Moving
Don't just react to problems around you. Instead before you move, tell Jesus in prayer your requests and wait for the Spirit of peace to move. Remember the advice of Philippians 4:6: 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. Without God we should fear to move. But when God bids us to move, we should not tarry. It doesn't matter if thousands of people tell us not to travel to a place. If Jesus gives us peace to visit and preach anywhere, obey Jesus instead of man and travel to the blessed destination encouraging everyone.
But sometimes Jesus tells us to wait before we move. It's a blessing to be content and wait on the Lord because Isaiah 40:31 says But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Psalm 27:14 says Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
3) Don't Be Afraid; Instead Live By Faith
Don't be afraid; Instead live by faith. 2 Timothy 1:7 says For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 1 John 4:18 tells us how to overcome and defeat fear. There is no fear in love; but perfect love (Jesus Christ crucified) casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Jesus Christ crucified is perfect love because Jesus is perfect and John 15:13 says Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. This occurred when the Lord Jesus died for lost sinners on the cross of Calvary. In other words daily look by faith with your heart to Jesus Christ crucified and you will not be afraid. When you preach or speak before people, look to the cross of Jesus and you will not be nervous or afraid.
To overcome fear say Psalm 56:3: What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (Lord Jesus). In God I will praise His Word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. When things make no sense according to man and there seems to be no answer to a problem, just trust in the Lord Jesus for total deliverance and watch the problem quickly disappear.
Overcome fear and say Psalm 46:1: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
4) Trust Jesus Instead Of The Media Or Any Doctor
Don't believe everything the media or doctors say about this world and your life. Romans 3:4 says Let God be true, but every man a liar. Jesus has the final say about your life and can heal any disease. Be like Hezekiah who trusted Jesus to heal him after Isaiah pronounced a death sentence on his life. God saw Hezekiah's prayer and told Isaiah to bless Hezekiah with 15 extra years of life.
When Brother Bob was a teenager, a doctor said that Brother Bob had cancer and would not live past 20 years of age. Christians prayed for Brother Bob and now Brother Bob is cancer free and 63 years old. Then in 1999, a doctor told Brother Bob that he would be crippled and blind in one eye with slurred speech for the rest of his life. Brother Bob refused to allow a doctor to pronounce a death sentence on him and after three months when Brother Bob believed that his sickness was crucified with Jesus Christ and destroyed, my eye was healed of blindness and I could talk again and preach. I told that doctor that Jesus healed me and I would preach about Jesus for the rest of my life.
God is no respecter of persons. What Jesus did for Brother Bob he can do for you. Trust Jesus to heal your body irregardless of any doctor's report. Who's report will you believe? We shall believe the report of the Lord. The Lord Jesus' report at Isaiah 53:5 says that with His stripes we are healed. Just let go and let God. Claim the following bible verse that saved Brother Bob's life. Right now say 1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously. In other words tell the devil daily I am crucified with Jesus Christ and commit or give my problems to Jesus (let go and let God) and I promise you that Jesus will fix all your problems and bless you with peace, health, joy, and strength.
Jesus can fix in one second what man can not fix for years. Pictured above a woman with an issue of blood tried for 12 years to get healed from doctors. After she spent all her money and got worse, she decided to touch the hem of Jesus' garment to be healed. When she touched the hem of Jesus' garment, she was healed immediately in one second of all her problems. Like this woman, have faith my friends everywhere while you by faith touch the hem of Jesus' garment, and I claim in Jesus name healing and peace for anyone suffering for years with any problem.
Don't be overcome by the negative news media. Be aware of your surroundings, but remember to eventually turn off the news media and think about Jesus and the Word of God. Colossians 3:1 says If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Like Peter walking on the troubled water, keep looking every day at Jesus and the Word of God. Don't dwell on the troubles around us and with Jesus you will overcome any trouble of this world.
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
