True PeaceJohn 14:27 - "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives
do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid." Jesus distinguishes His peace from what the world
calls peace. The world can't give us the type of peace Jesus is referring to. His peace is what we can consider to
be "true peace". "True Peace" is a state of being, a mindset absent of conflict, trouble,
and fear. This is why Jesus tells us let not our hearts be troubled or afraid. The key word is "let".
Jesus says "let not". . . this tells us that we have to allow or give trouble and fear
permission to enter our state of being or mindset. Once we do, there is no peace. We have the power and
authority to control what we welcome into our state of being or mindset.
"True peace"
is not in the world. True peace comes from the Father only. Allow Him to give you "true peace".
Philippians 4:7 . . . and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.

Forsake FoolishnessWhat does wisdom and foolishness have in common?
1. Both Call Out to the Simple Offering Direction 2. Both Make an Appeal to the Appetite of those Lacking in Understanding We have to be careful
when making decisions because both wisdom and foolishness calls out to the one who is lacking in understanding and needing
direction.
Proverbs 9 tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the
Holy One is understanding.
Forsake foolishness and live!

Obtaining a Good ReportHebrews 11 - "The World Was Framed by the Word of God". The enemy is in the
world. So, when we speak the Word of God, we put a frame around the trials we go through. If you want to box
the enemy in and what he is doing, speak the Word of God and obtain a good report like the elders.
