Got Peace?

Got Peace? - By Donna Wasson - http://www.raptureready.com/soap2/wasson154.html

 
 So tell me, is the chaos getting to you yet? Are you feeling hard pressed from all sides by the rising threats you see and hear in the news? Do you sense the spiritual atmosphere around you crackling with an exponential increase of evil? Can you feel your blood pressure rising? Are you suffering from an increase in headaches or sleeplessness? Do you carry a sense of foreboding; that doom and death is just around the corner, waiting to pounce on you and your family?
 
 If you have no idea what I'm talking about and you're mindlessly bouncing through each day, under the impression you have the world by the tail on a downhill drag and everything is going your way, well skippy-dee-do-dah for you. You're completely hopeless and unconscious. At least you'll die happy. 
 
 The rest of us find ourselves being squeezed by increasing pain and distress. In some ways, that's a good sign! It means we're very, very close to the end of this Age of Grace. Almighty God is about to manifest Himself in a most impressive show of power to the inhabitants of this world. Although we who are the Bride of Christ are under great pressure at the moment, we're not alone. The planet and critters are in distress just as we are.
 
"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."  Romans 8:19-22 (KJV)
 
 Poor creation. We really made a mess of everything, didn't we! God put this perfect planet and everything on it under the dominion of Adam and when he and Eve chose to sin, the earth and all the animals on it were cursed as well. How sad for them. They were completely innocent, yet were swept up in the results of stupid humans introducing death into their existence. 
 
 I don't know about you, but I need a vacation. Not just a few days at the beach or some theme park; no, a REAL vacation where I can put down all of my responsibilities, burdens and concerns and just rest. I need to retreat into a place that is cool and quiet and beautiful, where I can sit in silence and be refreshed. 
 
 I'm bone weary mentally, emotionally and physically. Some days I feel about 92 years old, barely able or willing to get out of bed to face another day filled with the endless drudgery of life. I'm tired of hearing the words 'terrorism' and 'ISIS' every other minute. I'm tired of reading of the outrageous Machiavellian machinations of the luciferians running our government in their rabid quest to destroy this country and the American people. 
 
 I fight the despair brought on by the constant overload of information from smart phones, TV, radio and on-line communications and news feeds. Sometimes I have to ponder whether ignorance really would be bliss, but I have a responsibility from God to shout out warnings of what I see coming on the not-too-distant horizon. 
 
 I say despair because I see my beloved homeland wallowing in filth, corruption, lies and evil and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I'm stuck between wanting to fight what I know is a losing battle, and accepting what's happening is God's will, which is moving us closer to home. 
 
 Yes, you can throw in a bag, load the kids in the car and take off for parts unknown, but you'll still have to return home to the same 'ol pressures and uncertain future. You might feel a little respite but it won't really help much. The Bride is tired, and I'm positive our Groom is well aware of that fact. 
 
 There's a sense of battle fatigue with many who are just plain fed up, weary of all the threats, cruelty, disappointments and lies we face every single day. But there's no place to run...or is there?
 
 Until we get home to heaven where we'll rest forever, the Lord offers to be our Shepherd; to lead us into a lovely sun-lit valley that is quiet and safe. He wants us to lie down in the lush grass, drink in safety at the cool, clean streams of the River of Life and catch our breath while He watches over us. But how do we get there? How do we tap into that level of serenity amidst the chaos that is spinning around us?
 
 Two words: prayer closet. Unless we discipline ourselves to literally shut ourselves away to spend time alone with the Lord every day, we will not make it. We're living in the most treacherous times in world history. No other generation has ever faced the constant threat of war, disease, terror attacks, economic failure, FEMA camps, government tyranny, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts, tornadoes, food/water shortages, and even possible asteroid strikes. 
 
 ALL of these things are either happening now, or will happen shortly as Bible prophecy continues to play out. There's nowhere to run, folks. Nowhere to hide. No shelter to be found, except in the arms of our Heavenly Father. 
 
 Spending time alone with Him, pouring out our sorrows, concerns, needs and fears is precisely what He wants us to do. He loves and adores us and remembers that we are just dust with a very limited understanding of His ways and thoughts. Not only is He in sovereign control of every event that's happening on this earth, He knows each one of us, down to the number of hairs on our head!
 
 He's well aware of our individual circumstances and has promised to meet our every need. He'll  give you comfort in these days, as well as a supernatural sense of peace and tranquility that will stand out like a sore thumb to your friends and neighbors when all hell breaks loose around you.
 
 Jesus Himself promised  "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."  John 14:27 (KJV)
 
 When you spend time in His presence this peace, HIS peace, will infuse your heart and mind. It won't matter what's happening on the news or who is blowing up whom. It won't matter that natural disasters are exploding all over the earth. Terror attacks, even in this country, will not shake your faith that your Heavenly Daddy has you in the palm of His hand. You'll be able to face the last seconds of this age with grace and dignity. You'll even be able to sleep peacefully, knowing angels are watching over you and your family. 
 
 The Holy Spirit will open your eyes to discern the difference between truth and lies. He will give you wisdom to know what you need to do and when to do it. You absolutely MUST have this guidance in the days to come! Don't be like those who ignore the Lord, yet call on His name when some horror hits, expecting Him to come make it all better.
 
 You know what I'm talking about. When disaster strikes you hear people yelling "Oh my God! Oh Lord have mercy! Oh my God!" but they think nothing of blaspheming that same name in their everyday speech. I find it ironic no one ever calls out to allah or buddha or other gods. No, humans instinctively call out to YWHW because they know deep in their heart He's the only true God capable of saving them. 
 
 These are the days to shore up your strength in the Lord by spending time in His Word and His calming presence. Allow Him to quench your thirst for rest and tranquility. Repent of your sins every day. Just because we're saved doesn't mean we don't still sin; He appreciates when we apologize for our behavior and words that offend Him. Pray to stay covered by blood of Jesus for protection from the enemy. Be obedient to His commandments to love Him first, and others as much as yourself. 
 
 You can sense as well as I can that America is about to suffer judgment. Cuddle close to your Heavenly Father and stay under His wing. He does not punish the righteous with the wicked, but I'm quite sure we'll see horrible events before we're snatched home. When we face those things with peace and confidence in front of our friends and neighbors who are freaking out, they'll run to us looking for answers. 
 
 It'll be the perfect opportunity to offer them hope; to gather the final harvest of souls before we're all snatched home. Be ready to work in His fields. Don't let Him come back and find you lazy and self-absorbed. He's counting on you to help bring in the lost little sheeple. Prepare now. Spend time alone with Him every day and store up rest, peace and strength while things are relatively quiet.
 
 Terrible events are going to hit the fan very soon and it's gonna be uglier than you can imagine, but hang in there-it will all be worth it.  "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory with shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18 (KJV)
 
"For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him."  Isaiah 64:4 (KJV)
 
 Whoohoo! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
