Perfect Peace

“Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.”

True peace, or perfect peace, involves more than your circumstances. True peace is a matter of the heart. Peace is a fruit of the Spirit. It comes from the inside — and your heart can be at peace even when your circumstances are filled with conflict. In fact, peace in your heart will overcome turmoil in your surroundings every time. If you know that God is with you, you can be at peace.

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” - Isaiah 26:3

The world is full of distractions and diversions that will tempt the most focused person to get their eyes off God and His will.

When your peace is threatened, it means that something or someone is trying to tempt you to pay attention to the wrong things.

Peace is the opposite of chaos and confusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33 says, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

God’s presence always brings peace to the most troubled situations.

When your world is in turmoil, you don’t need a miracle, or an additional blessing — you need Him, and the peace He inevitably provides.

His peace will hold you steady. It will provide stability when everything around you looks like it is falling apart.

When Jesus and His disciples were in the boat in the middle of the Sea of Galilee in the storm, the disciples were afraid, but Jesus was asleep.

Mark 4:39 says, “He rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ Then the wind ceased and there was a great calm.”

Not only did He calm the raging of the sea, He will also speak peace into the tempest of your circumstances and cause the storm to stop.

However, true peace, or perfect peace, as the prophet Isaiah says it, involves more than your circumstances.

True peace is a matter of the heart.

Peace is a fruit of the Spirit, according to Galatians 5:22.

It comes from the inside — and your heart can be at peace even when your circumstances are filled with conflict.

In fact, peace in your heart will overcome turmoil in your surroundings every time.

If you know that God is with you, you can be at peace.

Hear Paul’s benediction to his friends in Rome, from Romans 15:33: “Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.”

Rod Parsley has been clearly called to a pre-eminent position of leadership within the Body of Christ, as his numerous roles – including TV host, evangelist, educator, humanitarian and statesman – will attest. But he’d be the first to tell you that his prominence is solely a function of his willingness to be used by God in extraordinary ways.
He was 19 when he first led a Bible study in his parents’ backyard. In more than 40 years since then, he’s built one of the most important and far-reaching Christian ministries in the United States. He has founded and now leads outreaches with local, national and worldwide reaches.
This New York Times best-selling author has successfully advocated for federal legislation, delivered hundreds of millions of pounds of food and medical supplies to poverty-stricken areas of the world and changed the lives of thousands who will shape the cultural landscape in the next generation. He’s in constant demand to preach the Gospel in pulpits across America and around the world, and to comment publicly on the moral issues of our day. If none of those opportunities had ever presented themselves, though, he’d still be Pastor Parsley, sharing God’s Word with his beloved World Harvest Church, helping his congregation know God as he does.
His other ministries include Valor Christian College; Harvest Preparatory School, an educational institution for local students from preschool through 12th grade; Hispanic and urban-outreach ministries; a national ministerial alliance; Bridge of Hope, a world-wide missions organization.
