If I Were You, I'd Grab God's Gift Of Peace

Duration: 3:01 Mins.

Transcript:

Jesus was standing before Pilate, and he had already been judged by that king of the court, and his accusers were hollering out, and Jesus is standing there before Pilate silent.

He wouldn't say anything to everybody accusing him of being everything from a blasphemer.

Jesus was silent.

Finally, Pilate said, “Man, aren't you gonna say something?”

He wouldn't say anything.

And then Pilate said to Jesus, “Don't you know I have the power to do with you whatever I want to do with you?”

And then He wasn't silent anymore.

He said, “You don't have any power that wasn't given you from God.”

I guess that is one of my number one ways that I possess peace is because I know that I know that my Redeemer lives, that my God is for me.

He's not against me.

I know I have an expiration date.

Should the Lord tarry and not come tomorrow, I will be here not one day too late, not one day too early, and it's going to be determined by one individual, and that's my heavenly Father.

So why do I have to worry about tomorrow, yesterday, if I'm going to live 10 years or 10 minutes?

Because whenever I exit the planet, it's going to be God's plan.

Why am I worried about standing in front of you when I got a heavenly Father that's got my back?

You get a, how do you get that peace?

Someone asked me the other day, how are you so peaceful in the midst of all this going on?

I refuse to see people every day until I've met with my heavenly father in the secret place.

You ask the people who work around me, they don't see me for a while.

I'm off praying somewhere.

And I do not leave my prayer time in the morning until I feel something shifted in my spirit.

Because I can walk into prayer time, oh, we got to do this, we got to do that, we got to do this, we got to do that, we got to do this.

Matter of fact, I write a lot of things down.

I think the devil helps me plan my day sometimes because he keeps reminding me why I don't need to be praying.

I write it down.

Oh, yeah, I don't want to forget that.

But after about 10 minutes, I've got my day planned out.

And I'm going to stay there until peace that passes all understanding begins to equip my mind and my heart.

And when I walk out of the prayer, I'm not mean-faced looking.

I'm walking out like I just smoked a joint. :-)

I mean, like I went high.

Sometimes I get in the flesh and sometimes I get in the spirit.

Sorry about that.

If I were you, I'd grab this gift of peace.

This is one gift you shouldn't have left under the tree.

Peace.

Somebody say peace.
