"Since we have heard that some of our number [who went out] without any mandate from us have upset you with their teachings and disturbed your peace of mind, we have with one accord decided to choose representatives and to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have dedicated their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. So we are sending Judas and Silas who will also convey this same message by word of mouth: 'It is the decision of the holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities," Acts 15:24-28
Unity through the Holy Spirit, this is God's plan for us to be united with Him, to act in one accord with each other. We are all one body when we are guided by the Holy Spirit. The challenge we face is the one voice that works at dividing us, the one that works at disturbing our peace of mind. If you step back and just watch, listen do you see truth in action, is there peace? Do you see God's plan being worked or do you see the plan of man being worked. The Holy Spirit see's all and when we bow to His authority, recognize His voice, respond to His requests, go even when we don't want to, then we will find peace in our life, even in the middle of the storm!
What is God saying to me: My truth is written down in My Word, when you study it, dissect it, you will see My heart and what My plan is. There are many that are laid astray by the wayward voice for they do not study My Word. Peace is with you.
Dear Father, there is a comfort in knowing we get to sit together each day and be still. My spirit rejoices in knowing You, in living with You and in serving You. Guard my actions and my words that they always may be for You. I am sorry when I fall victim to the schemes of the devil and want to lash out, You know what causes me strife and I turn that over to You so You may root it out of me. Bless this day Father, bless Your faithful servants who go about unnoticed doing Your will. Prayers for a friend that is asking why, may this stirring reunite You with him. I ask this in the Holy name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us. I love you. ❤️
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
