Power of peace

     Peace is sought by everybody. Everybody thinks their peace lies in 'somewhere'. Nobody has seen peace with their eyes, but expect peace to be 'visible' to them.
     Peace has been a concept of conquest among many people and nations. Even the Indian political leader who led the nation to independence, Mahatma Gandhi, had pursued peace. The theme behind his efforts against the British rule had been peace. The very vision behind the efforts had been peace; the very method handled was peace. Non-violence had been the method, to be with the terms used by himself.
     If peace has so much value, it cannot be separated from mankind, to produce anything of a high value. We need not seek peace. Peace is within the self. One thing we need to know more about is the giver of peace.
     The 'person' behind the offering of peace is Jesus. The Bible calls Him, the Prince of Peace. Yes, Jesus came to bring peace into the hearts ravaged by worldliness. What had been sought from material things, was given through a Person, Jesus.
     The Bible speaks about 'true peace'. What is true peace? The peace which is derived out of nothing and which is not given to material thing is true peace. If you find peace in music, noise would take away your peace. If you take pills to produce peace, the pills would kill you. Don't be offended at these statements. These are real. When you have found the true peace, you can make out easily, the falsehood in the peace offered by the world. I mean, every material thing in the world, is called worldly, by the Bible.
     The Bible contains truths, which are effective in producing peace in your lives. Mind you, how you receive benefit from a medicine is how you take it. You do not leave off your medicine for 5 days after taking it for a week. You know you have to take it regularly.
 
     Let me show a piece of the Scripture on peace.

John 8:32 AKJV
     And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.


What does this verse indicate?

1. You have to seek for truth.
2. You shall be set free upon knowing the truth.

     When you find the truth, the truth will set you free. If you have found that medicines gave you relief from tension, then you have found something that is true, but true in the worldly way. It would be true, if you had the right prescription, right tablet, right diet, right this, right that and so on.

     The Bible clearly says that Jesus came to teach the truth for the needs of every man. The point which is confusing to many is that, in this world nobody is true. It is useless to depend on people for truth. Everybody in the flesh (physical body) are prone to go away from truth. I do not say in a manner to condemn the flesh. I do not condemn anybody. You can ask yourself, "Am I truthful? Did I ever go wrong anywhere?"

     We are all prone to faults. We keep ourselves on a process of correcting on a daily basis, to keep ourselves free from faults.

     Then that means, truth cannot be given by a physical thing. It is to be given by a superior thing. God is the author of peace. God gave Jesus to mankind, so that he can depend upon His teachings for spreading peace. If you have found peace by reading this article, please share your comments. It can help to improve to help many people.

Psalm 37:11 NIV
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.


We have to consider the following facts hidden in this statement.


1. You have to acknowledge that somebody has to work and produce fruits from the land. God does not say that they would inherit the fruits of labour, those who earn for themselves. Do not be quick to misunderstand the great truth which the Bible is revealing it. The rich will have their possession for long, only to give away to those who inherit. You have to do the following.
2. Expect peace. When you seek this higher spiritual gift of God, you are sure to receive something which is called the fruit of labour of men. What you need is to 'keep your meekness'. The year 2011-2020, man-kind is going to see bloodshed. Those who are depending on entertainment for pleasure and politicians to do good for their families, will have to be stupefied. Those who are supposed to do what they should do will get dumbfounded because God is going to move powerfully. You will never know what you will get, if only you keep your peace.
