Speaker 5: Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading
Speaker 5: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. It says in Matthew
Speaker 5: five nine, this is what Jesus said. He said, blessed
Speaker 5: are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons and
Speaker 5: doll of God. It doesn't say blessed are the people
Speaker 5: who can control the situation and make it go their way.
Speaker 5: Doesn't say blessed are the ones who are right all
Speaker 5: the time. It says, those who are willing to be
Speaker 5: peacemakers can walk in the blessings of God.
Speaker 4: See that's the key right there. What are we willing
Speaker 4: to do? See? Are we willing to let other.
Speaker 5: People be right even when we know they're wrong, for
Speaker 5: the sake of peace. See, there's got to be a
Speaker 5: willingness to make peace and maintain.
Speaker 4: Peace to walk in the place of blessings.
Speaker 5: One time, Joel and I were at this event, and
Speaker 5: we didn't know everyone at the event, but we knew
Speaker 5: a few people. And this gentleman came walking up to
Speaker 5: Joel and I and he began to speak to us.
Speaker 5: And I noticed as the conversation his passion became a
Speaker 5: little more intense. He began talking more to Joel than myself.
Speaker 5: And so I was watching this and listening, and he
Speaker 5: just had a conviction. He had an idea, and he
Speaker 5: was trying to persuade Joel to you believe the same
Speaker 5: thing that he believed. And so he's getting passionate about this,
Speaker 5: and just he's talking and talking, and I look at
Speaker 5: Joel and I see this famous smile on his face,
Speaker 5: and I see this occasional nod.
Speaker 4: With his head.
Speaker 5: And so after the man was finished, he walked off
Speaker 5: and I said to Joel, I said, Joel, you don't
Speaker 5: believe what he was saying.
Speaker 4: You don't agree with what he was saying. I said,
Speaker 4: I know you don't.
Speaker 5: Why didn't you just kind of explain to him what
Speaker 5: you believed and what you thought?
Speaker 4: And I'll never forget. Joel looked at me and he said, Victoria.
Speaker 5: He said, I wasn't put on this earth to straighten
Speaker 5: everybody out.
Speaker 4: He said, I would rather hold my peace than I
Speaker 4: prove him wrong.
Speaker 5: You see, when you allow other people to be right,
Speaker 5: it doesn't make you wrong. It makes you a peacemaker.
Speaker 5: It says in Romans twelve eighteen. As far as it
Speaker 5: depends on you live at peace with everyone. You see,
Speaker 5: sometimes you just need to put a famous smile on
Speaker 5: your face and nod your head so that you can
Speaker 5: live at peace with everyone. Now, it doesn't say that
Speaker 5: everyone's going to live at peace with you, But behind
Speaker 5: that smile and behind that.
Speaker 4: Nod is peace.
Speaker 5: It's a place that God wants us to live. It's
Speaker 5: a place of wholeness where things are together in our life.
Speaker 5: See the blessing of being a child of God is
Speaker 5: knowing that God is fighting your battles for you.
Speaker 4: It's knowing you don't have to be right to do
Speaker 4: what's right.
Speaker 5: It's knowing that you may not be in control of
Speaker 5: the situation, but that God has ultimate control of the situation.
Speaker 4: So often we want.
Speaker 5: To fight back, We want to be right because right
Speaker 5: feels good.
Speaker 4: But can I tell you right is overrated.
Speaker 5: If it steals your peace, if it cost you the blessing,
Speaker 5: it's overrated. You can be right and be miserable. You
Speaker 5: can be right and have strife in your home and
Speaker 5: in your family. You can be right and you can
Speaker 5: have no friends. Being right is overrated. Now, that doesn't
Speaker 5: mean that you have to be a doormat, that you
Speaker 5: have to agree with everything that people say, that you're
Speaker 5: not allowed an opinion and to use your own brain.
Speaker 4: That does not what that means.
Speaker 5: It means that you are sensitive and you are a
Speaker 5: where when a conversation is going too far, when it's
Speaker 5: getting heated, that you understand that when things like that
Speaker 5: begin to happen, strife is knocking at your door. See,
Speaker 5: peace is your guard and it's your guide, and it
Speaker 5: lets you know that Hey, wait a minute. I have
Speaker 5: complete control over this situation. I don't have to keep
Speaker 5: pushing back. I don't have to prove myself. God will
Speaker 5: prove it in the end. I don't have to be right.
Speaker 5: I just need to do what's right, and that is
Speaker 5: hold on to my blessing of peace.
Speaker 4: You know, peace is a gift. Jesus said it like
Speaker 4: this to his disciples. He said, peace I give you.
Speaker 4: I give it to you.
Speaker 5: If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you have
Speaker 5: the peace of God.
Speaker 4: He has imparted into your spirit. He's given it to you.
Speaker 4: But we have.
Speaker 5: To continue to main and develop and hold on to
Speaker 5: that peace. You see, peace doesn't just exist when there's
Speaker 5: no conflict. Peace shouldn't come and go according to what's
Speaker 5: going on in our life.
Speaker 4: But peace is an inner being.
Speaker 5: It is something that controls us during conflict, It controls
Speaker 5: us in the storm. Peace is a powerful force that
Speaker 5: causes you to be able to enter a situation and
Speaker 5: be able to radiate a calm stability intense situations.
Speaker 4: You have control because you have peace.
Speaker 5: Peace comes by knowing God, by reading his word.
Speaker 4: Peace comes by meditating. You see.
Speaker 5: God wants us to first realize we have this peace
Speaker 5: and continue to develop this inner peace. Right now, there's
Speaker 5: so much violence, so much conflict, so much gossip, so
Speaker 5: much strife.
Speaker 4: Going on in our world.
Speaker 5: All you have to do is turn on the television,
Speaker 5: watch some movies, and you will not find an example
Speaker 5: of peace.
Speaker 4: You just won't find it. It's not out there.
Speaker 5: So God is saying understand that you have to know
Speaker 5: and stay in touch with this peace. You can't just
Speaker 5: go out there and forget about peace and just react
Speaker 5: to situations and just do your own thing.
Speaker 4: Who wants to live in strife?
Speaker 5: The Bible says that when there is strife, there is confusion,
Speaker 5: and there is every evil work.
Speaker 4: When you are in strife.
Speaker 5: You become a blamer, You become someone who is suspicious,
Speaker 5: you become bitter, you become everything that's not of God.
Speaker 4: Strife, it just goes on and on.
Speaker 5: So you can today, if you're I've been in strife
Speaker 5: with somebody, you can say, I'm putting I'm gonna draw
Speaker 5: a line in the sand. Strife is not for me anymore.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be in touch with this inner peace, this
Speaker 5: gift that Jesus gave me. I'm gonna continue to develop it.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be a maker and a maintainer of peace
Speaker 5: because I want to walk in the fullness and wholeness
Speaker 5: of the blessing of God. And can I remind you
Speaker 5: when it is hard, when it is difficult, you've got
Speaker 5: to remember that God has called you his son or daughter.
Speaker 5: When you are in peace, maintaining peace, you are his
Speaker 5: I can tell you something that God is not going
Speaker 5: to let you out of his sight. He's not going
Speaker 5: to let anyone do anything to you. He's not going
Speaker 5: to curse you or not bless you. He's going to
Speaker 5: make things go your way because you're His child. Now,
Speaker 5: as soon as you get out of peace and start
Speaker 5: getting in there yourself, you've just got out of the
Speaker 5: place of blessing.
Speaker 4: I know if you're a parent.
Speaker 5: Today and you've got a child, you're going to do
Speaker 5: everything you can to fight for that child. It doesn't
Speaker 5: matter what's going on. You are for that child no
Speaker 5: matter what's going on. And I want to tell you your
Speaker 5: heavenly Father is for you. You are His child.
Speaker 4: Rest in that, find peace in that.
Speaker 5: Listen, when we walk in peace, we walk in the
Speaker 5: fullness of the blessing. Be a peace maker, be a
Speaker 5: maintainer of peace, and you'll walk in the wholeness.
Speaker 4: That God intended you to walk in.
Speaker 5: Now, I just want to take this time right now
Speaker 5: while I feel like that God has got our attention
Speaker 5: on peace, and maybe many of you are thinking things
Speaker 5: of areas or situations in your life, but right now,
Speaker 5: I want to just take this moment to just call
Speaker 5: that peace into awareness into our innermost being and to
Speaker 5: really ask God to give us a peace and get
Speaker 5: us in tune with that peace so that we can
Speaker 5: be the.
Speaker 4: Calmness in the storm. See, God wants us to wake
Speaker 4: up peace within us. Jesus was in the back of
Speaker 4: the boat. The disciple was wearing a big storm. Water
Speaker 4: was splashing over the storm, but Jesus was asleep. What
Speaker 4: did they do? They woke up peace. They got Jesus
Speaker 4: on the sea.
Speaker 5: And when you feel those winds and waves flashing you
Speaker 5: in the faith, you need to say it's time for
Speaker 5: me to.
Speaker 4: Wake up Peace. I'm waking you up right now. Peace.
Speaker 5: I'm in touch with you. I'm in tall control of
Speaker 5: this situation. I'm not getting in strife.
Speaker 6: Father.
Speaker 5: I thank you right now God that you are just
Speaker 5: making us more aware than ever about peace. We'll understand
Speaker 5: that it dwells on the inside of us as a
Speaker 5: gift from Jesus to keep us calm.
Speaker 4: And it's a force and it's a power to be
Speaker 4: reckoned with. Father.
Speaker 5: I thank you right now that you are giving everyone
Speaker 5: just a tremendous peace. And through the weak God, they'll
Speaker 5: be in touch with that peace. They'll say, peace is
Speaker 5: still there.
Speaker 4: Thank you. I feel you peace. I'm gonna feed you
Speaker 4: with the word of God.
Speaker 5: I believe that peace will sustain me and keep me
Speaker 5: stable in any storm.
Speaker 4: Thank you Father, that you.
Speaker 5: Will bless your people, that you will bring a harmony
Speaker 5: to our homes and to the people around us. And
Speaker 5: as far as it is our ability, Father, we will
Speaker 5: be makers and maintainers of peace. Whether someone wants to
Speaker 5: live in peace with us or not. Father, we know
Speaker 5: that we hold the keys and that.
Speaker 4: Is your peace.
Speaker 5: In Jesus' name, and everyone said Amen, Amen.
