JOY and PEACE



Philippians 4:4  Always be filled with joy in the Lord. I will say it again. Be filled with joy. 

Php 4:5  Let everyone see that you are gentle and kind. The Lord is coming soon. 

Php 4:6  Don't worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have. 

Php 4:7  And because you belong to Christ Jesus, God's peace will stand guard over all your thoughts and feelings. His peace can do this far better than our human minds. (Easy Read Version).


Personally when I was undergoing recurrences of cancer at an early age, peace would come to me from God. A peace that the world does not know. Last year when I had an operation that turned out to be a cyst, I came to the recovery room with overwhelming joy. I am alive and I thank you my Lord. Joy and peace are fruits of the spirit that belong to those who are saved in Christ Jesus. Thank you Jesus.


JOY


1Peter 1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 

1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

1Pe 1:8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 

1Pe 1:9  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 


PEACE


John 14:27  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.
