PROPHETIC UTTERANCE A WORD OF COMFORT, EDIFICATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, EXHORTATION, AND LEARNING (1 Corinthians 14:3, 31) “Peace That Passes All Understanding in the Midst of Terror” By Moses Hightower These words came unto me, In me, there is peace. I have given you peace that passes all understanding. You have the peace of God. It is keeping your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. You have become acquainted with me; therefore, you are at peace, and good has come unto you. I have given you an intimate knowledge of me. I have given you quietness. Now who can make trouble for you? The hypocrite will not reign. If he does, the people will be ensnared. People who were once friends have been led into bitterness and resentment because of false leadership. I am giving my people shepherds after my own heart that they may dwell in peace. I will hide my face from the false shepherds, and I will hide my face from the nations that dwell in hypocrisy. Who can behold me when I hide my face? I have blessed my people with peace and given strength unto them. I have spoken peace unto them. Go and tell them not to turn again unto folly. My salvation is near them that fear me, and glory dwells in their land. Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth has sprung out of the earth by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Now righteousness looks down from heaven. I am giving that which is good, and your land is yielding her increase. My righteousness is going before you and setting you in the way of my steps. I will keep you in perfect peace if your mind is stayed on me. Trust in me, and do not lean to your own understanding. I have ordained peace for you. I am the Lord. I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I do all these things. Hear my commandments, and your peace shall be like a river. Your righteousness shall be as the waves of the sea. Your seed shall be as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels shall be like the gravel thereof. I will not cut off your name, nor destroy it from before me. The wicked shall never have any peace, for there is no peace unto the wicked. My word has gone forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please. It shall prosper in the thing where I sent it. You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace, even the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing. The trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree. It shall be to me for a name, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off. I, the Lord, do create the fruit of the lips. I have given peace to them that are afar off and to them that are near. I have sent forth my healing into the land, but the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up sludge and filth. There is no peace to the wicked. To my body, I have brought well-being and restoration unto health. I will cure them and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. I came into the world to prepare these things for you. I came to give light to them that once sat in darkness and in the shadow of death. I came to guide your feet into the way of peace. Do not be detoured into the way of violence. I have closed off that path and led you in the way of perfect peace. Peace be unto you today and forevermore. Glory in the highest, and on earth peace and good will unto you. My peace have I given unto you, not as the world gives, but I give my peace unto you. Now do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Though you have tribulations, be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. Now grace and peace be unto you. You have the peace of God and are justified by faith. You have access by faith into the grace of God, and you stand in this grace. Now rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Follow peace with all men, also holiness, for without them no man shall see me. Now rejoice in the peace of God. * PROPHETIC INSIGHT By Don Grigsby RE: RHEMA - Peace That Passes All Understanding in the Midst of Terror Jehovah-Shalom, or the Lord our peace, is the covenant that God made with Gideon. All of Israel was greatly impoverished by the Midianites. They were hiding in dens and caves. Midian had robbed them of all food and livestock. It was a terrible occupation of fear and terror. When the angel appeared to Gideon, he was filled with questions regarding the lack of Gods help and miracles. Peace has more to do with making whole than the absence of conflict. When we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, we are not asking for the absence of war but that the city would be restored as one whole city and not two separate parts. God said that he would restore the years of the eating insects in Joel. This word in the Hebrew for “restore” is “shalom”. When the law is making good on debts or losses, the word is “shalom”. When the word says that the thief will restore or make it good, it is the Hebrew word “restore”. All the years that the Midianites had taken were about to be restored. When the walls of Jerusalem were finished in days and not months, it is the word “shalom” that is used for the word “finished”. God is the rebuilder of the broken down walls of human life. Nehemiah faced the enemy on the outside and within. He was told that if a fox would go on the wall, it would fall. He knew that God would finish it and said, OH NO! We need to shout, OH NO! constantly to every intimidation of the enemy. This is the peace that passes all understanding. It is not that we will not have conflict and confrontations but that the Lord will finish the work and any losses will be made good by the Prince of Peace, who rules on heavens throne and on the throne of our hearts. We can be confident of this very thing that he that hath begun to speak the good work in us will finish the work with resounding victory on our behalf.
