Peace - untroubled; tranquil; content.
As I mentioned in my last post God has been speaking peace into my life. Since probably about September where ever I am here about peace and I hear God speaking peace into me. I have had people praying it over me or talking to me about it. I am enjoying this place of peace.
Was there a period of time where I didn’t have peace?
I don’t think so I have God is blessing me with peace. I mean yes there are days where I am stressed, or I just don’t feel like talking to anyone.
I will never forget the words someone said to me as they got a word for me from God…it was “Guard your peace.” At first I did not understand a clue what this guy was talking about. I told me I had peace and I have felt at peace before he ever said anything to me. He said yes that is awesome now guard it! I said ok thinking not much of it but being well aware of what had just been said to me. That night!!! My peace had been stolen from me. I will not share what happened but I will say I had never felt so humbled and exposed before in my entire life. I really learned that night what it really might to GUARD YOUR PEACE!
God blesses us with peace but we need to guard that peace from the enemy. I didn’t to do that. I let it slip from my hands and I allowed anger and frustration to flood in.

Peace is one of the fruits of the spirit and this is something God is teaching me. I am feeling it and experiencing it for myself. Where ever I am I feel as though God is teaching me more about peace. I am really enjoying learning the deeper meaning to peace.
So often we can nudge this word off and look at other words more closely such as Love, joy patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is why I want to know more about this word and know why God is placing this word in front of my face where ever I go.
It’s interesting that God has been laying this word on my heart all the way leading up to the Christmas season. A song that comes to mind for me is Hark the Herald Angels Sing: in verse 1
Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
"Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem
"Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
God’s peace is something we will never be able to fully understand. It evens says in the Bible God’s peace passes all understanding. You cannot see peace but you can tell when it’s around.
Romans 14:16-18
Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
John 20:21-22

Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." 22And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
GUARD YOUR PEACE!
