Possess God’s Peace
“Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field. The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.” (Isaiah 32:15-17 WEB)
This prophecy declared by the prophet Isaiah is in the process of partial fulfillment. The Spirit has been poured out on us from on high ever since the Day of Pentecost when Jesus first sent His Spirit to baptize the disciples in Jerusalem.
The wilderness represents Israel which has become a fruitful field (the place where salvation starts spreading from), and will eventually become full of life as a forest, during the future Millennial reign of Christ.
Through Jesus’ work of righteousness at the cross, we already have peace with God.
Since we have become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, we have an everlasting quietness and confidence in our spirit.
There is no need to struggle or strive to justify ourselves before God or anyone else. We know that the payment has been completed and that God has fully accepted us.
Born-again believers ought to be the most peaceful and quietly-confident people on earth, exuding the kind of regality that Jesus has. This confidence comes from knowing that you are God’s child, lacking nothing and having everything.
This shalom is your portion. Possess this inheritance that the world cannot give. No amount of pills, therapy, or chemicals can produce the peace that is freely ours in Christ.
Today, declare and believe: “I am full of shalom peace, for I was re-created in the image of the Prince of Peace. I possess the peace of God right now, and allow it to flood my soul, body, and life; setting everything right, perfectly integrated with nothing lacking or missing. I receive this in Jesus’ name, Amen!”
Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.
By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord! Become a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon to receive this reward, daily devotionals by email, and also all my eBooks.
