Remain In Place - You Will Remain In Peace!

Because God Said So!

Shelter In Place

Paul gain wisdom thru experiences and was persuaded that regardless of his state, he knew to remain in place - which promoted his peace!

Everything required to sustain you in the earth - God has placed in you - Hebrews 10:16-17 (NKJV) 16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them," 17 then He adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."

There is nothing else left for God to do that He has not equipped you to do in the earth - Every purpose, every plan, every appointment, God has already ordained it to be - Nothing can change that - 2 Timothy 1:9 “9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,”

The reason our peace is disturbed is because we become engulfed with the conditions of the circumstances, instead of realizing that even in the midst of the circumstances, we have Power within to build - God gave specific instructions to submit to Nebuchadnezzar - And if you did not, He would punish you!

Punish = To attend to, visit, muster, appoint, vindicate, avenge, or make to do!

(God loves you too much to punish you from the sense that the world’s systems have made us believe - so what I believe we do, is that we allow our thinking to become debased = “depressed, or sunkened - which leads you to believe that you have fail to meet the requirements, forgetting that God has etched in your Mind and Hearts - The Truth that you are already approved, delivered, transformed, made free - Even when the conditions of the circumstances seem to be unfavorable)

Perception can be crippling - obedience may look like captivity, but because God says to remain, don’t you move until it is time - Jeremiah 27:11 “11 But the nations that bring their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in their own land,’ says the Lord, ‘and they shall till it and dwell in it.’ ” ’ ””

I know it does not make sense to your natural, but you cannot allow the perception to fool you into believing that God has not equipped you in the midst of the circumstance!

The news you receive at times can create a thought that will cause you to worry and become frustrated - Psalm 73:3 “3 For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.”

You cannot water that negative thinking because it will take root and grow!

Most certainly we must be careful of what we allow to come out of our mouth because of Who is in you - has empowered you with a speech that will create things!

Romans 4:17 “17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;”

Because He is in you - and when you speak you are fertilizing a seed!

When you speak, it is liken to intercourse - there is a probability that you will birth something!

This is why it is so important that we must bring into captivity our thought before we allow our words to be released

Evidence = witness, mouth (Luke 6:45 “45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”)

Negative speech is like wasted semen - it is a wasted opportunity for newness to birthed!

Genesis 38:8-10 “8 And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; therefore He killed him also.”

Go To Text: Jeremiah 27:22 “22 ‘They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I visit them,’ says the Lord. ‘Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’ ”” Jeremiah 29:7-11 “7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace. 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord. 10 For thus says the Lord: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Bad news is likened to corrupt communication - It serves as an interruptive device - especially when you know Who God is in you and you are still subjected to what seems to be devastating news!

God knows about your frustration, He understands that you have greater expectations but yet it seems so far away at times!

God has equipped you with everything you need for the duration of the circumstances!

Because of what it seems like, we rush to the results, when the results are already done according to The Word that God has spoken over your life!

Because God has caused it, regardless of the conditions, or whom you are under, God has already destined you to Thrive In It - Remain In Place - You Will Remain In Peace!

You Are In It To Win! I learn something these last couple of nights from Apostle Williams and Pastor Bynem: The Pain will squeeze the passion out of me, pushing me to purpose which prevents paralysis!

God told the people in the midst of captivity - Build!

He did not tell them to worry, become stagnant, complain, feel sorry, throw pity parties - that has no Power - Praise me in the midst of it! Jesus asked you to consider the cost of worrying? What can you add to yourself by doing so?

He also stated that we should consider the evidence that God has provided to us - by looking at the birds, the Lillie’s and consider how He take care of them and their value is far less than yours - they don’t even sow, but yet God provides!

How much more valuable are you? Don’t allow the circumstance to cause you to think less than - God has made you Greater Than! More Than! Rise up and keep your Joy!
