Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
Citizens of the New Kingdom are encouraged by the promise of peace that only their King can give. King Jesus promises his peace; a peace that allowed him to sleep in a boat that was sinking in the stormy sea; a peace that removed all fear as he defied the keepers of the temple and drove out the money changers calling them thieves; a peace that allowed him to pray for those crucifying him and a peace that allowed him to accept death knowing he was doing the will of the Father.
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that this is not a peace that comes from this world. This peace can only come by supernatural means. This peace can only come as a gift from God. When we have this peace, brought to us by the Presence of God dwelling in our hearts, we lose our anxieties and fear.
