"The Power of Today" Part Two:
"Peace That Governs Your Heart"
Philippians 4:7, And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1. Peace is a state where one is in right relationship with God.
2. Peace is a mental/emotional state where there is an absence of conflict and freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts. We call this “peace of mind.”
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful
“Let peace RULE…”To be an umpireTo decide, determine, arbitrate

Colossians 3:15, And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
“Let peace rule…”
To be an umpire; To decide, determine, arbitrate
Place peace in a position to determine how to handle every situation
Don’t decide based on the problem. Decide based on creating or sustaining peace
John 14:25-28, These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Psalm 37:1, Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm.
Two Kinds of Peace
Peace is a state where one is in right relationship with God.
Peace is a mental/emotional state where there is an absence of conflict and freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts. We call this “peace of mind.”
Philippians 4:7, And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Peace is beyond your comprehension
Peace will guard your hearts and minds, like sentinel

A Place Called Forward
Exodus 14:13, And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14]The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." 15] And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16] But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
Forward defined: To cause to proceed or progress toward a goal. To cause to go or be taken from one place, person, or condition to another.
Forward is a place to which God leads people of purpose and destiny. Forward is a place that stretches your faith and exercises your prayer life. Forward is the place and the direction the vision takes you.
Israel was in a crisis. It was a crisis on different levels:1. There was the original crisis of being held in bondage2. Was the crisis of being delivered from bondage3. There was the crisis of having a bondage mindset, after being delivered4. There was the crisis of being pursued by the Egyptian's from behind and facing the barrier of the Red Sea in front.
What I find amazing about this story, is that God knew what the people did not know. They were not only being delivered from the crisis of bondage and slavery, they were being delivered from their own fear of progress. It was the rebellion of the people that led to captivity in Egypt for 400 years. For the people being delivered, Egypt and bondage and slavery was all they knew. They only heard about their heritage and the promised land.
