A Message of Peace

This phrase is spoken often during this time of year. We all wish for tranquility and harmony in this world. But is that all there is to peace? For the answer to this question, we must return to the original meaning of the word peace.

The earliest form of the Hebrew language is written in word pictures. They are simple pictures. They not only portray a word, but convey a greater, deeper meaning. They also evoke a very emotional feeling. They help us understand the heart of what is being expressed.

As in all of Scripture, God presents a very simple story with a much deeper meaning. The Hebrew picture word for peace illustrates this point very well.
In Hebrew Word Pictures, Peace means ÔÇ£to destroy the authority that establishes chaosÔÇØ.

Satan is the one who establishes chaos. Even though we cannot destroy Satan, we can destroy his authority in our lives.

When we look at the true meaning of the word peace, it means not only tranquility and harmony in the world, but it becomes extremely personal. We as Believers in Jesus have the power through the Holy Spirit to destroy SatanÔÇÖs authority. And this will bring us true peace.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Our prayer for 2015 is that through the power of the Holy Spirit,
we will all be victorious over the authority of Satan and truly experience this peace that only God can give.
