“The Fruit of the Spirit is Peace”

A BLESSING FOR MY BROTHER
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Hebrews 13:20-21)

How do you help someone who is not teachable? What do you do when you know someone is making wrong decisions but they won’t listen to truth? It’s heartbreaking to see someone you love deceived, especially when you know how to help them. Sometimes the more you say, the farther away they turn. What do you do when you come to the end of your ability to help?

You might say, “You pray!” Prayer is always right and good but God has provided His Word for us to speak over ourselves and others. Blessing others with the Word of God is yet another dimension of prayer that is effective and powerful. God has said His Word would not turn back void and it would accomplish what He intends for it to accomplish. So, by speaking a blessing, we are speaking the powerful Word of God into their life or our own life to activate God’s strategy for freedom in whatever area it is needed. No amount of words spoken in defense of what is right or good will accomplish what words of blessing from the Word of God will.

Try blessing someone you love today.

I bless my brother in the Name of the God of Peace. May the Giver of Peace strengthen and complete him and make him what he ought to be. I bless him in the Name of the Prince of Peace who equips him with everything good that he may carry out His will. I bless him with the ability to carry out God’s will and purpose in his life because he has allowed God to work in him and accomplish what is pleasing in His sight. May God’s will be done in his life and may he complete his assignment on this earth as God has planned.

MY PRAYER FOR YOU

(Adapted from Hebrews 13:20-21)

The God of peace that brought again from the dead that great Shepherd of the sheep

Through the blood of the everlasting covenant

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, to do His will

THE GRACE OF DIGNITY / A Peaceful and Quiet Life

This is the forth of five devotions and music videos

with the theme from Galatians 5:22

The Fruit of the Spirit is Peace

THE GRACE OF DIGNITY
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from 1 Timothy 2: 1-4; 1 Corinthians 13:5)

I read recently about a woman who met George W. Bush, III in 2002 when he was President. She was invited to the White House to attend a conference and she had the pleasure of speaking briefly to the President and the First Lady about their faith in God. She said that his words were spoken with great power and authority and he held himself with dignity and honor. When the then-president gave an order, those under his command carried out his wishes without hesitation. Although George W. Bush, III was and still is a dignified and honorable man, the place he held as the Commander in Chief of the United States of America, the highest authority in our land, placed him in a position to be honored and esteemed. Not only did he deserve our respect as a man of faith but the office he occupied for eight years esteemed him the highest of respect and honor from all over the world.

This woman who met the President found it easy to give a good report and testimony of her encounter with this prestigious man and his wife. It seems that we don’t hear such testimonies today about our President. Everywhere I turn, I hear negative, degrading and detrimental reports and remarks about a man who occupies the same honorable position as President Bush once held.

No matter what our opinion is of either man; no matter our view of how the highest office of the land is being occupied; and no matter our estimation of either man’s character, we have to esteem the Word of God as our final authority. Paul, speaking to Timothy, gave him instruction about treating those in authority with respect and we are given the same instructions 2,000 years later.

“I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions,

and thanksgivings be made for all people,

for kings and all who are in high positions,

that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life,

godly and dignified in every way.

This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

who desires all people to be saved

and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Father, forgive me for critical words spoken about leaders of my country, my state and my community. Forgive me for judging leaders according to my estimation of their abilities and accomplishments. I have decided that when I speak and give my opinion of anyone in authority over me, that I will filter my words through the instructions of Paul that he gave to Timothy and to me.

WALK OUT PEACE / Follow Peace

This is the 3rd of 5 devotions with the theme of

“The Fruit of the Spirit is Peace”

WALK OUT PEACE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Romans 12:18; John 14:27; Hebrews 12:14; Galatians 5:22)

Walking in love every day involves walking out peace.Sometimes our love walk may not appear to be very rewarding and we have to make sure we are following peace. We have known people whom we thought to be very godly and spiritual, but when they were faced with the choice to forgive, they refused. They also would not graciously accept an apology.

When we ask for forgiveness and we are not forgiven by the other person or when we apologize and our apology is not accepted, we must realize that we have done our part. The Word says to do all that we can as far as it depends on us. The unwillingness to forgive is not our responsibility. It is our responsibility to ask for forgiveness and apologize. If we are not careful, after asking someone to forgive us and they do not, we risk becoming unforgiving of their un-forgiveness. So now we have to forgive them for their un-forgiveness and drop the whole thing. Leave it with them and God. Paul wrote

If possible, as far as it depends on you,

live at peace with everyone.

Father, my love walk today involves following peace with everyone. When I am confronted with unforgiveness on someone else’s part, I will seek a peaceful solution. I will be quick to apologize in order to help a person trapped in unforgiveness to apologize. I will humble myself to demonstrate humility to bring about peace. But Lord, if my efforts are not received, I will let it go. I will forgive again and I will live in peace. Thank you for the grace on my life to live in peace with everyone.

PERFECT PEACE / Peace Be Still

This is the 2^nd of 5 devotions with the theme from Galatians 5:22

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Peace”

Perfect Peace

Song: Peace Be Still

(Adapted from Isaiah 26:3; Mark 4:37-41)

And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:

and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

If I do not have perfect peace in every circumstance and situation in life then I am living beneath my privilege as a believer. Jesus said,

“My peace I give unto you.”

Father, I have perfect peace in you today. I know that in every circumstance, I am loved by my Father. Father, I go to your word and remind myself of how much you love me. You loved me so much that You gave Your only begotten son so that I would not perish.

I confess today that I will not perish eternally. I will not perish financially. I will not perish physically. I will not perish emotionally. Father, You will keep me in perfect peace because my mind is continually, and steadfastly, and securely upon You.

PEACE BE STILL

Devotion: Perfect Peace

(Adapted from Mark 4:37-41)

Verse 1:

When we began our journey the sailing was smooth

But as we progressed, all control we seemed to lose,

The tempest was tossed, I thought all was lost,

I approached the prince of peace,

I wondered how could He sleep

I said, master carest not that we perish,

He seemed to marvel at our unbelief

Then He spoke these words so peacefully,

Yet He spoke with such authority

Chorus:

Peace be still, Peace be still,

He speaks unto the winds and waves

And even they obey

Peace be still, Peace be still

All you have to do is pray

And all He has to do is say

To the storms of your life, “peace be still”.

Verse 2:

You may be going though the storm of your life,

You may think your drowning

Going down for the third time,

Like the disciples had done all they could do

They approached the Prince of Peace,

You can approach Him too

Just like He spoke to the waves of the sea,

He will speak to the storms of your life

And all of them must cease

LOVE IMPARTS PEACE / Peace

This is the 1^st of 5 devotions 
with the theme from Galatians 5:22

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Peace”

LOVE IMPARTS PEACE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(John 20:19-23; Galatians 5:22)

The disciples were behind closed doors. They were afraid. They thought they were next. Jesus walked right through the wall and sent their fears out the window! Jesus spoke peace to comfort them and gave them strength. His salutation was not just empty words. His words covered them with peace. Jesus showed them His hands and His side. When they saw him and heard him speak, they were filled with joy and fear left.

Have you ever been afraid or stressed and you read a couple of scriptures and you immediately could sense the peace of God? God's power is based on love and His love dispels fear and imparts peace. When we speak His Word, it has the same effect on us and others as Jesus' words had on the disciples that night they were hiding and so fearful. His words brought change to their hearts that night and his words still bring change today to the hearts of men.

Father, thank you for your word. Thank you for the power of your words that impart peace. I commit to speak your words of peace and comfort to others today. I receive Your peace and I impart your peace to others today.
