John 14:27
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
The
night before Jesus died, He gave His peace to His disciples — “Peace I
leave with you, My peace I give to you…” This peace was not just for His
disciples, but also for us today. We have His peace.
The moment you believe
in Jesus Christ, He who is the Prince of Peace comes to live inside you.
And when the Prince of Peace resides in you, every blessing that you
will ever need pertaining to your soundness and wholeness is already
inside you.
“Pastor Prince, if this is true, then why do I still see problems in my health, finances, family and relationships?”
The answer is a troubled
heart. That is why after Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you,” He said,
“Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
A troubled and fearful
heart works like fingers that clamp down hard on a water hose. The
supply of water is flowing from the tap, but little or nothing is coming
out at the other end of the hose. God’s ever-present supply of
blessings toward you is like the water flowing freely from the tap. But
you don’t see the blessings when you allow your heart to be gripped by
worry or fear.
So when fearful, anxious
thoughts come, remind yourself of Jesus’ words: “Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Even when things appear to get
worse, say, “Lord, I refuse to worry about this. In the midst of all
this, I see the finished work of Christ. He said, ‘It is finished!’ So
my child’s healing is accomplished. My marriage is blessed. My debts are
cleared. I will let not my heart be troubled by these things.”
Beloved, I cannot “let not” for you. Your family and friends cannot “let not” for you. Only you
can “let not your heart be troubled”. So guard your heart from being
troubled. You don’t have to guard your career, reputation, children or
even health. When you guard your heart, God will guard everything else
for you!
