FATHER SON HOLY GHOST But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

WHAT IS PEACE?

WHAT IS PEACE? Definition Peace is the possession of adequate resources. (George H. Morrison)

WHAT IS PEACE? Definition Peace is the possession of adequate resources. (George H. Morrison) Opposite Anxiety > Worry > Fear Anxiety is SO spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically damaging and toxic that the command NOT to be afraid or anxious or fearful is the most frequently repeated command in the Bible. Worry / anxiety can cut us off from the flow of the Holy Spirit more than almost anything else in our life.

Counterfeit Indifference > Apathy > Numbness WHAT IS PEACE?

WHAT IS PEACE? Counterfeit Indifference > Apathy > Numbness The world defines peace by ABSENCE of something. God defines peace by the PRESENCE of something.

WHAT IS PEACE? Counterfeit Indifference > Apathy > Numbness The world defines peace by ABSENCE of something God defines peace by the PRESENCE of something. Biblical peace what we experience when we are living in the flow of the Holy Spirit is the settled conviction at the core of our being that all things are in God s hands. (John Ortberg)

WHAT IS PEACE? Definition Peace is the possession of adequate resources. (George H. Morrison) Opposite Anxiety > Worry > Fear Counterfeit Indifference > Apathy > Numbness

HOW DO WE GET PEACE?

HOW DO WE GET PEACE? PEACE does NOT simply happen to us. We have to CHOOSE PEACE and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety, and that nothing not even death can take God away from us. PEACE is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that nothing sickness, failure, emotional distress, oppression, war, or even death can take that love away. The Holy Spirit wants to help you cultivate the Holy Habit of the Spiritual Discipline of Choosing Peace. Adapted from Henri Nouwen
