SEVEN KEYS TO A LIFE OF PEACE!

Greetings,

Most of us get sidetracked at times in the day to day battle of staying focuses in Basic Bible Truths as we try to live as obedient children of our Heavenly Father following the example of our older brother that is also our God almighty and our personal Lord and Savior – the Lord Jesus Christ… so I am glad that the Lord put in our paths at the right moment His reminder to continue the walk without going off into tangents and without giving up:

Seven Keys to a Life of Peace by Larry Ollison, Ph.D.

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1).

I understand that formulas and step plans are not always the answer to the problems we have in life. But sometimes they can define and illuminate issues. With that in mind, I’d like to give you seven keys to a life of peace.

1) You must know who you are
As a Christian you must know that you were made righteous at the moment you became a Christian and you must know that it was the blood of Jesus that cleansed you from all the unrighteousness in your life. Unless you know who you are, you are susceptible to the lies of Satan. He tries to confuse and make you think you are weak. Jesus said, "You are the light of the world."

2) You must know what the world is
You must be able to clearly define the difference between right and wrong. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 2:11 that we should not be ignorant of the devil’s devises. Otherwise, he could take advantage of us. John 10:10 clearly defines the source of good and evil.

3) You must know what your goal is
You must be consistent with your personality. You must be consistent with your vision. And you cannot waver as you head toward the calling that God has placed on your life. The only way you lose is if you give up.

4) You must not compromise your life
Compromise for the Christian is the kiss of death to your testimony. The world will sit quietly by as you do the work of the ministry, but will leap to their feet and point their fingers if you compromise.

5) You must always be in faith
Walking in faith will make you fearless. You must walk in victory and faith is the key.

6) Forgive and love
Faith will not work without love and love will not function without forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn’t mean compromise or condoning an evil act.

7) You must acknowledge what Jesus has done and rest in His work
In John 16:33 Jesus said, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Since Jesus has overcome the world, we can rest in peace with His victory.
