Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,
The peace that passeth all understanding is neither idle nor complacent. Rather, God’s peace is powerful, and full of grace (mercy) and forgiveness. A significant number believe that forgiveness is weakness. However, power, love, and a sound mind are of the things of God; He is Jehovah Sabaoth – the LORD God of all the heavenly powers – the LORD God Almighty with whom we are connected through God the Son-JESUS. That is, those made sons (i.e., male, female) of God the Father by the blood of God the Son – Jesus/Yeshua are in Him; we are His Body and He is the Head; and the power that flows through those who believe and receive Jesus as Savior & Lord is God’s power working through us as allowed (free-will). The power of God in each of us is the Holy Spirit who lives within us. Jesus came to show us how we were created to operate; functioning as man, Jesus only spoke what He heard God the Father say, and only did as He saw of Abba Father. The Living Word said, “I and my Father are one” John 10:30 (KJV); and we who believe (faith) and confess Jesus as Savior & Lord are in Him and He is in us. As one with God who is Love, Jesus has the same divine love that Abba Father has for all created in His image. Jesus is Lord because He yielded (free-will) to the will (plan) of God the Father in agreeing to: leave the presence of the Father; be born as the Only Begotten Son of God; exemplify by faith connectivity to the LORD God Almighty; sacrifice His sinless lifeblood; die; descend, take back the keys of hell & death; ascend by God’s mighty power (who is the Holy Spirit) and seated at the right hand of God the Father; and continues to intercede for us (along with God the Holy Spirit). Hallelujah! Jesus is Lord because born sinless and knowing no sin, He took the sins of all mankind, that those who believe on Him might (free-will) have abundant life to establish God’s will on earth as in Heaven. Jesus is Lord because He sacrificed His sinless lifeblood to redeem, re-create & reconcile man (i.e., male, female) to God the Father. In so doing, a full grown man now sits at the right hand of the LORD God Almighty. We love Him who first loved us and sent His Only Begotten Son as the propitiation for the sins of mankind; in Him all rights and privileges of sons & daughters of God are restored by the blood of Jesus. We have benefited mightily because everything God the Father gave Jesus so too have we for His glory. The things of God are made manifest by the power of God within each of us for His purpose. As the soul/mind is renewed in God’s WORD by revelation of the Holy Spirit who guides and teaches us, we become increasingly aware of the nature of God within us. The enemy of God comes to steal faith which connects with Divinity; forfeit nothing by speak. Faith works by love; and everyone in Him, has been given the measure of faith as well as God’s kind of love. Faith pleases God who does the work as we trust and obey (do) in keeping with His WORD. The peace of Jehovah Shalom is by faith which rest on God’s power (1 Corinthians 2:4b); and there is nothing weak about the power of the Sovereign LORD God Almighty; our Abba (Daddy) Father by the blood of Jesus.
