The Promise

- “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.”
John 16:33 KJV 1900
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Peace

For many Americans, every day is a day of prayer. More than half (55%) of Americans say they pray every day, according to a 2014 Pew Research Center survey, while 21% say they pray weekly or monthly and 23% say they seldom or never pray. Even among those who are religiously unaffiliated, 20% say they pray daily. Women (64%) are more likely than men (46%) to pray every day. And Americans ages 65 and older are far more likely than adults under 30 to say they pray daily (65% vs. 41%).
“To be prepared for war is one of one of the most effective ways of preserving peace.”
“To be prepared for war is one of one of the most effective ways of preserving peace.” George Washington
“To be prepared for war is one of one of the most effective ways of preserving peace.”
John 14:27 KJV 1900
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.

Victory

proclaims the greatest asset we have to be victorious. Christ in his prayer is telling His disciples, I believe, the most wondrous future event that if understood brings joy, comfort and resoluteness to all Christians.- “...and I in them”!!
Romans 12:21 KJV 1900
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
-
1 John 5:4 KJV 1900
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Companionship

John 16:32 KJV 1900
Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
