Inner Peace

Broken Women . .. . . . . . . . . Put on some soothing music. Keep it soft and gentle. Take a few deep breaths, holding each one for a few seconds and then slowly exhaling. Relax. Feel the chair you're sitting on, your feet on the floor. Smell the scents in the room. Imagine Jesus coming toward you with a smile on his face. Tell him how you are feeling right now …sad, heartbroken , hurt, lost, confused, ashamed, trapped, oppressed, depressed, lonely, anxious, unfocused, abandoned, tormented, hopeless.(yes....First Ladies can feel/ have these emotions). . Tell him exactly what things are like for you today even if your pain is deep. Open and pour out your heart to him. Feel his presence very close to you. Let his love fill your heart and soul. Thank him in advance for rescuing you out of your darkness, because that is what’s going to happen! He cares. HE...is your defense. Let go & let GOD work it all out for you.

Peace Like A River



For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,

This post was supposed to be put on my blog site..."Jael's Seed", but for some reason, I'm posting it here, thinking when I started that I was actually posting on the other blog site......... although I had one intention, the Lord had another and he knows who needs what...So here goes.....

Our Womens Group: Jael's Seed meets every Thursday evening in my home, it's a very intimate, diverse group of women with one similar goal, and that is to take our destinies into our own hands, by any means necessary, as it obtains to the Word of God. Just like Jael in Judges 4:21, we have decided to put a whooping on the enemy with a "tent Peg" and a "hammer" ("the Word" and "prayer").

The Lord shared with us that he has ordained peace for us (Isaiah 26:12)....it is his desire that we live in peace, that our habitations, (where we live), be filled with peace, and that our dwellings be sure (Isaiah 32:18).

We are living in a time when chaos is coming from every direction, and if we are not careful to be mindful of what the Word says, and what God is saying to us through his Word, then we are likely to be standing on shaky ground, unsure of what we can have......... and that's Peace,The Peace of God that passes all understanding.

You can be facing dire situations......... many people are being laid off because of downsizing due to this world's economy, but yet, you can rest and be at peace, knowing that you don't operate in this world's system. We operate on/in a Kingdom system: where tithing and offerings secure our wealth. We can rest assured knowing that our father has our has back, and when one door closes, there is another waiting for us to step into it.

Your marriage may be on the rocks, you children may be acting as if they have never heard of Jesus, and church attendance may be down, but God wants you to know that he will extend peace to you like a river (Isaiah 66:12). Just as a river is ever flowing, so shall your peace be: NO MATTER WHAT!

Draw on these scriptures....Remind yourself and God what has been said about you, as far as peace is concerned:

Psalm 29:11

Psalm 85:8

Psalm 122:7

Isaiah 26:3

John 14:27

Jeremiah 29:11

These are just a few of the scriptures we can draw upon on peace; meditating on them day and night will ensure peace in your minds, that will generate into ever fiber of your being, eventually spilling and flowing out of you like a river.

Peacefully,

Lady V
