“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Colossians 3:15.

One of the main focuses on Jesus’s ministry is peace and love. We are to spread his Word with the focus of love and peace. We have to let peace rule in our hearts. Jesus constantly set an example for us to follow. When Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of the solider (Mt. 26:51) he rebuked him. He told him to put his sword away and told him that anyone that repays evil with evil will die from evil. The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most important sermons in the entire history of teaching. Jesus rebuked and taught us like nobody’s business. This is a sermon that pastors and followers of Jesus study and tear apart more times than they have been in church. In the sermon, he told us that we should not repay evil for evil (Mt. 5:38-42). He told us if someone slaps us on the cheek to turn them the other as well. If anyone wants your shirt you give them your shirt along with your jacket. We are to be the better person no matter the situation. That is how we show the love us Jesus. The devil will manipulate people and give them evil desires, the way we overcome them is by showing love. Nothing freaks someone out more than when they do something so wrong to you and your response is love. They will be so thrown off, they will not know what to do. You never know that occurrence of love may be the thing that helps them come to the light. Be a difference in someone’s life show them love and peace. Show them that the light is brighter than the dark. Throw people off when they throw evil your way.

Lord, I pray and thank you for you do. I thank you for sending your one true son Jesus to us to be the perfect example of how to live. I thank you for allowing him to be the head to the body. I pray you are with us, allowing us to spread your word with peace and love. Allow evil not to overtake us. Allow the light to shine so bright in our lives that it blinds people. Allow the light to change people’s lives. Allow us to stand firm when people pay us with evil, let the light shine bright in us and protect our heart. I pray all this in your son’s name, Amen.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in your lives in him, rooted and built up in him strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7. We have to be able to let our roots grow. Jesus taught us several times that we have to have a strong foundation (Mt. 7:24-27) and strong roots (Mt. 13:1-23). Jesus is not a one time thing, we cannot go “I believe He is my Lord and Savior” and just walk away. That is not what we are called to do. We are called to be disciples and to preach the Word of God. We are called to love everyone like Jesus did. Jesus did not care who you were or what your past was, he accepted everyone because we are all made in the image of God. We all are natural born sinners, but Jesus died in order for our sins to be forgiven. God’s arm is not too short to save anyone (Isa. 59:1), He has the ability to save everyone. There are people out there with roots, but they are short and weak. They c

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. This world is a dark place, I said it before and this will not be the last time I put it in a devotional. It is, it was no God’s intentions when he created us and created this world that darkness will take over. But just like everything else God uses it for his advantage. He allows all the bad things that happen in this world and to us to show us his power. He uses it to bring us closer to him. He uses it to show he has something better for us not only not only on this earth, but in heaven. No matter what happens on this earth whether you are the richest person, whether you are the poorest person, if you are the happiest to the saddest, there is nothing compared to the treasures and everything we get in heaven. One of the things God did to show us that he is taking advantage of this dark world for his and our benefit was sending

Daily Devotional: 7/27/2018 - DIFFERENCE MAKER PT. II

"And he climbs on up the hill; On the rock on which he stands; He looks back at the crowd; And he looks down at his hands and he says; I am a difference maker." NEEDTOBREATHE - "Difference Maker" (Pre-Chorus) This is a "science fiction" short story based on my life. A story and mission of a difference maker. Yeah, isn't it amazing how a man can find himself alone? Call into the darkness for an answer that's he ever known; Yeah, isn't it amazing how a God can take a broken man; Yeah let him find a fortune, let him ruin it with his own two hands ? Leaves dance on the trees, fog rises from the distance mountains as the rain cooled the hot summer ground, the porch swing creaks. The wind whispers secrets in my ears. There are over seven billion people in the world and there is not one to be found, it is just my thoughts and me. I can do this all on my own, I do not need anyone. The more people there are the more problems there are f
